GLOAD is GOD

I think the Kemp idea is a good one....but I like the Adam Lind idea even more. He'd be great to buy low on if we can, (obviously he'd come at a steep price, but we'd be buying low considering his 09 campaign) If you get Kemp from LA and Lind: Pierre - LF Becks - 2B Rios - CF Lind - DH Konerko (Wildcard if you can sign him or not) - 1B Kemp - RF AJ - C Lexi - SS Teahen - 3B Pitching: Peavy Buehrle Jackson Floyd or Danks (Whichever isn't traded) Freddy or Pena Either Floyd or Danks goes in one of the trades..... Quentin, Morel, Viciedo, even Sale (I know, gawk!), Flowers, anyone of them up for grabs.....I could see swingin Jackson for salary relief and more young pieces to make it work as option as well.... Pipedream (kinda) I know.... But Lind could be dangerous going righty lefty righty with Rios and Kemp or Rios Kong

Pauly, Jenks, Jones, AJ?

Every single start as a D-back has been a quality start....

Of the White Sox free agents to be this offseason, who are we likely to offer arbitration to? What status would our free agents earn? What compensation could we get back for some of our guys? Who's a risky bet? All that good stuff.... Obviously, re-signing players comes into play, but if people walk, what are the likely situations?

Obviously not Quentin alone.....I would even consider throwing Morel in there as well, considering the year he's had. I really think Choo would balance the offense so well....with both him and rios capable of hitting 25 homers and stealing 25 bases. Lefty, righty as well.

After watching Choo for the past two years, its obvious he's a pretty tough out. Not sure how salaries would match up, with arbitration and everything, but with Cleveland clearly out of it for sometime....do you think a White Sox package with Quentin as the headliner could get the job done? I just think Choo's bat and glove would be the perfect complement to the current team.

I got 162/200....Somehow Ross Gload is not on there

But if you look at where they would need help.....definitely up the middle. The verdict is still out on Getz and they need middle infielders. The catchers on their roster are dismal, not sure about depth in their system, but Flowers would have to be an attractive piece at catcher for them. Then with Poreda, what team doesn't need upside arms? I think the untouchable quality of Zimmerman is only because of the team he plays on, he hasn't been out of this world. He's not really at David Wright's level or anything like that. He's just a really nice player at this point. I think we have the young talent, to objectively make them a better team at several spots. You gotta give something to get something.

Obviously, with the team thankfully playing better, this idea doesn't hold as much water. Now, Kenny looks to be shaking things up in the pitching department, before making any serious changes to the current offensive and defensive alignments. However, I think a guy Kenny absolutely needs to make a phone call about is Ryan Zimmerman. He's been the face of a miserable franchise for the past 4 years, and the only factor I could see holding up a deal is fear of alienating the Nationals fan base even further. Before everyone goes nuts, I know that any GM would tell you, "What team wouldn't want Zimmerman?" and I could even see the term 'untouchable' being thrown around. Although he is still very young, he is a lifetime .284 hitter and seems bound for "really nice career" status as oppose to the lofty Hall of Fame promises and acolaydes he was receiving several years ago. With that said, I think the White Sox would be a phenomenal fit/match. The odds are nothing comes together in the next week and 1/2, but I think this idea could still be relevant in the offseason. The nationals need to show some signs of life, and we would give them the opportunity to patch several holes in replace of the "Face of the Franchise" of a .400 win % team. Do you guys think a package of Getz, Poreda, and Flowers would at least get the tires kicking? This way an infield of: 3B - Zimmerman SS - Ramirez 2B - Beckham 1B - Pauly I really think a potential match up of the Sox and Nationals could be a good one.

Anyword on Jared Mitchell signing, and where would he start?

What would we lose as far as compensation goes? Our Cabrera pick?

Is Brad Penny a good candidate for the Sox to sign to an incentive laden deal, given the rotation concerns?

Sadest day in White Sox history....I will honestly say though, this does look like a steal. Ross should pwn up for KC too

The Sox are in the perfect situation to explore a three or four team deal, the problem is Kenny can never really create those.......Getting a team like Houston or the New york involved with a three-team trade may be the best way to net prospects like Hirsh or Pelfrey.
