December 13, 200421 yr Talks with the Giants haven't gone well, so the Brewers are now discussing Scott Podsednik with the White Sox. The teams might be discussing trading Podsenik and Keith Ginter for Carlos Lee. The Brewers have room in their budget and they could use a power-hitting outfielder. We don't think the White Sox should be trading for Podsednik when they have a superior center fielder in Aaron Rowand, but they like the idea of adding a leadoff hitter. Dec. 13 - 3:42 am et Maybe it's me, but that would be a disgusting trade. Unless it allows us to sign some explosive pitcher/shortstop, which I don't see how.
December 13, 200421 yr yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him.
December 13, 200421 yr Do the Brew Crew have any other good pitching on their roster or down on the farm that could help us immediately that they could put in the trade?
December 13, 200421 yr yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him. Brewers fans are saying it would take lee and a top prospect to just land sheets.

December 13, 200421 yr Do the Brew Crew have any other good pitching on their roster or down on the farm that could help us immediately that they could put in the trade? Andy Pratt Hendry :dips*** I wonder if the brew crew would be willing to give up Ben Sheets.
December 13, 200421 yr Andy Pratt Hendry :dips*** I wonder if the brew crew would be willing to give up Ben Sheets. They are looking to lock him up for three years.
December 13, 200421 yr I might consider Lee and a mid-prospect for Ginter, Podsednik and Luis Visciano (sp?)--the guy who starts for them and was dominate agianst the Cubs
December 13, 200421 yr Do the Brew Crew have any other good pitching on their roster or down on the farm that could help us immediately that they could put in the trade? Does Jaime Navarro still pitch for the Brewers?
December 13, 200421 yr This won't happen until after Dec. 20 in my mind, because the Sox will want to see which players will be non - tendered like Alex Cora. But I definitely don't like the trade, and I think we should look to the Marlins for Juan Pierre or Luis Castillo instead.
December 13, 200421 yr :puke This would be a flat out awful trade and I'm in the minority here and actually like Pods. The only way the sox should be talking with the brewers about carlos is if sheet is available. Most likely Ben won't be availabe so kenny should just move on to a different team.
December 13, 200421 yr Lee for Sheets and throw in Ginter or even better, throw in Pods. Now that is a deal!
December 13, 200421 yr Also if the Sox do this, they will have freed up about 6 to 7 mil in salary, and can afford to go after a FA starter like Odalis Perez. Rowand or Podsednik would most likely have to move to LF though.
December 13, 200421 yr It sounds like the MIL writer is projecting who they'd like from the sox, as the sox have shown interest in Podsednik. They want a power hitting corner OF, and Lee is their choice, not the Sox. Throwing in Ginter wouldn't add much either. What seems certain is the giants and the sox have shown interest in Podsednik, which is smart for the sox, IMO. Would any sox players fit for them, that the sox could do w/o? Everett, whose $4 mill contract seems like a bargain. A straight swap might be enough. Another option could be Borchard, a proven bullpen arm [as Kolb is gone] like Jon Adkins and a prospect. Lee could be moved. But for far more than what MIL has or seems willing to give up
December 13, 200421 yr can someone give me contrace info for pod and ginter Podsednik made $400,000 last season. But he will make $1,380,000 in the next 2 seasons until 2006. Ginter is signed for $640,000 (the same amount he made this season) for the next 2 seasons also.
December 13, 200421 yr Guys thid deal sounds about right. Kenny always been telling us build team for 2007 and guess what that deal does this. Also sox will get a 5th starter if this happeneds.
December 13, 200421 yr The real problem with this deal is Posednik sucks ass. He had one fluke season in the majors like a year ago which he will never come close to repeating and suddenly these GM's are creaming their pants over him. His numbers last year were really what he will do. We would have two years of a guy hitting .240 if we can even though that. Why don't we just put Jose Valentin in the leadoff spot then? Just say NO!
December 13, 200421 yr yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him. DING! DING! DING! If we are getting Posednik and Ginter, the most we give up is Garland and a prospect who is not that highly touted. If we give up Carlos Lee, we better be getting Sheets and Pod. If we have to throw something else in, fine.
December 13, 200421 yr Like kenny said it frees up money and to due that you have to give up people to do that and who knows maybe sheets will become in deal.
December 13, 200421 yr Maybe it's me, but that would be a disgusting trade. Unless it allows us to sign some explosive pitcher/shortstop, which I don't see how. It would free up about $6 million in payroll. And for those of you saying Lee for Sheets, come on. Lee alone isn't worth Sheets.
December 13, 200421 yr His numbers last year were really what he will do. We would have two years of a guy hitting .240 if we can even though that. 1st sentence ... Just a guess on your part, maybe? 2nd sentence ... Huh?
December 13, 200421 yr If we are giving up Lee, then Sheets has to be apart of that deal. You don't give up your best hitting power OF for Spod and a utilty inf. Here is a deal we could live with Juan Piere and Mike Lowell 4 Lee and Pauly Then Sign Delgado to play 1st, and should have enough free money to p/u a starter.

Florida takes on salary in that deal, they're having enough payroll problems as it is. And Delgado ain't gonna come for less than about $12 mil, so that ain't gonna happen. If we free up some payroll, we're goin to sign a starter.
