QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) Its also possible the Sox didnt want Getz on the team and this was the best offer they could find... Thinking about the WSI/Gonzalez interview, and knowing how much crying Fields did while he was here, that makes a lot of sense.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:05 PM) i agree with you and ChiSoxfn. It's a dead horse, let's respect that and move on to the more tangible aspects of the trade. tyvm.

OK, lets drop the Nix/Getz garbage. There is no point to it at this point.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:47 AM) Starting pitching wasn't the reason we lost last season but we also didn't have Peavy and Freddy/Huddy for most of the season. Our starting pitching is going to win a lot of games for us this year no matter what. And once again, there's a negative 30 percent chance that's our lineup next season. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. We all know at the end of the day Kenny is going to pull some move out of his ass that gets everyone freaking out with names no one really thought of. It happens every year.

Chuck Garfien is reporting that Getz still hasn't been told anything http://twitter.com/ChuckGarfien

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) Josh Fields still has more potential than Jayson Nix. He still has to learn to either hit or catch a baseball first.

QUOTE (League @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:35 AM) Until I hear Ozzie or Kenny say that, I'm not believing it. Like I said earlier, until I see Ozzie actually running that line up out there, I don't believe it.

QUOTE (daggins @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:32 AM) Your 2011 #1 draft pick goes to - Chicago White Sox! 62-100 holla Give up the 100 losses crap. Unless about three pitchers on the Sox starting staff under go group Tommy John surgery, it ain't happenin. Save the drama.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:31 AM) If we've learned anything about Kenny Williams it's that he's a very non aggressive gm. He probably wont make any other moves this offseason so it's definitely time to freak out. Wait, what? Word.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) asking this completely neutral because I think it's basically a push, why do you think Getz is better? Defense? Because Nix HR potential makes up for his other flaws at the plate. Is it that it was done mostly against LHPs? That's a legit concern. Think about the other guy in this deal, Josh Fields.

There is no reason rest shouldn't fix this problem.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) There's no hole. The hole is filled by a better player. Nix has more pop, better D, and a better minor league track record. He should, he only has spent about 10 years down there...

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) Quentin, Rios, Teahen outfield. Please Kenny say it isn't true. I won't be convinced until I see Ozzie run them on the field together. He often has his own spin on Kenny's moves.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:16 AM) I know I know. Bigtime overreaction. Just nervous about the offseason/next season like I haven't been in a really long time. We are on a very thin line to where we improve and compete or fall into the 'bad' territory. It is literally the day after the World Series. We have months to see what happens. I guess I don't see the value of freaking out on day one.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) I wouldn't mind it if he were at 2B or 3B, but he sure as s*** better not be in RF. Even with JD sucking nuts for half the season he still put up an OPS 50 points higher than Teahen. I'm really afraid this is another KW sees a guy doing awesome against us and acquires him even though he sucks against everybody else. f*** man if Nix is at 2B and Teahen is at RF we might lose 100 games. f*** even Pods had a higher OPS than Teahen And the award for best lead dramatic actor is...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) Has anyone wondered openly yet in this thread if this might allow Becks to move to 2b? I don't know if it has been said or not, but it could be any one of quite a few things. Teahan has played both corner OF spots and 2B/3B. Teahan could play RF and Becks/Ramirez could stay put. You could also slide both Becks and Ramirez over a spot to SS and 2B respectively, while looking for a 3B (Figgins anyone?), or Teahan could play 3B. You could also slide Teahan into LF with TCQ into right, while not touching the IF.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:47 AM) LOL, I loved Marty... but the Hawks ABSOLUTELY made the right move. Hossa = Havlat + defense - injuries (yes I know he's injured right now). I agree 100%. I still bet Hossa plays more games than Havlat does over the course of Havlats contract, even being spotted the two months on IR for Marian.

You have to hate the Yankees, that's all there is to it.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:41 AM) Neither Getz nor Teahen have been informed of any trade happening. The New York Daily News seems to have struck with bulls*** again. To be fair, it wouldn't be the first time that a Sox player learned of a trade on sportscenter...

This makes me happy. He is a guy who doesn't mind being in his role.

Interesting that the Sox aren't commenting. I wonder if the players aren't exactly set yet?

Also keep in mind Teahan was learning second base before Gordon got hurt last year.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:20 AM) the nix getz debate is now over. LMAO, greg is gonna freak out over another royal being on the team I think the debate now goes to CJ breaking camp with the team.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) If true it opens the door for a Polanco signing. Or a CJ Retheford promotion.
