QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:42 PM) Supposedly this Molina kid has a plus splitter, and if you combine that with excellent command than yea, you have a potential all-star pitcher. It seems the overwhelming consensus is that he's a middle of the rotation guy. A number 3 as his ceiling. Could be a 2 though. I still like the trade.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) Unless you consider Dan Hudson and Chris Sale things that havent worked, I would say moving guys through the system quickly has been a decent philosophy of late. Perhaps. No starting minor league time for Sale could hurt though. We'll see this year. I'd also argue that Beckham being rushed hurt as well. I hope Kenny sticks to what he said in that he won't rush him. Do him like the Rays do. If rebuilding, this team isn't doing anything next year anyway.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:20 PM) He's a AA guy at this point. I am guessing they accelerate this guy to a debut late this year or next. I sure hope not. Let him develop. Lord knows rushing guys hasn't worked in the past. Especially if we are indeed rebuilding.

Is Nestor the only piece? I would have thought you could squeeze another fringy piece in for Santos.

Like it very much.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) If they traded who i think they will trade here is the lineup you will most likely see: 1. De Aza 2. Alexei 3. Dunn 4. Konerko 5. Viciedo 6. AJP/Flowers 7. Rios 8. Gordo 9. Morel 1. Buehrle 2. Humber 3. Peavy 4. Sale 5. Stewart/Whoever You dont think that team at least has a chance to compete within this division? Has a chance to compete, but a small one. 4/5 of that rotation could be awful. We still don't know what Humber will do as an encore (I think he's a back of the rotation piece), Sale will probably have some growing pains as he enters the rotation for the first time, Stewart is a wildcard who might profile better as a reliever, and Peavy could continue to Peavy. On top of that you need to bank on Rios and Dunn bouncing back, Dayan to not miss a beat, as well as Morel and Gordon to progress offensively. Sure the team could be competitive, but so many things have to work out. It's just as likely to be battling the Twins for the cellar. I'm of the opinion that losing both Danks and Floyd would severely hurt this team's chances.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 10:47 AM) I wonder if Belt would be part of the trade.. Brown would be a great pick up as well. Brown sure, would be shocked on Belt.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Marks gonna get mucho phat offers. I think it'd be cool if he wound up in St. Louis. Miami would be cool - here would be cool. Niiiiiice. If St. Louis is in it, it's over.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) Good news for the fans that want Buehrle back at any cost... The Nationals offered Wilson six years. If he takes that, and the Marlins don't offer Buehrle a no-trade clause, it could be good for his chances to return. I wonder if Buehrle would then wait out the Pujols/Cardinals saga. If Pujols leaves, then the Cards may do some other stuff to open room for Buehrle. Not likely, but not impossible. The Rangers are very interested in MB according to recent reports. 6 years to CJ Wilson is quite ridiculous imo.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 08:33 PM) Toronto's got an interesting prospect in David Cooper I think his name is...... He's not very good. Fringy prospect that is a product of the PCL.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 06:00 PM) I wouldn't doubt it. To be truthful, I wouldn't blame the guy either. He's getting long in the tooth and I know he wants to get a chance for one more ring before he retires. Well if that's true then maybe Alonso IS on his way here. But he's not good defensively? That's no good. I believe Alonso is considered a decent to above average 1B. Though I don't think PK is going anywhere.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 05:53 PM) Didn't Peavy actually come out and say that he didn't want to be a part of a rebuilding process before the beginning of last season? Yep.

cst_Cowley cst_Cowley Most interesting thing I heard today is there is a Sox vet who would like to be traded if KW starts trading proven players for potential. 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply My guess is Peavy if this isn't typical Cowley bunk.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 04:39 PM) This is so flawed. The White Sox need to be sending out a f***ing net fishing for talent anywhere. You don't dismiss a Yonder Alonso because Alex Rios and Carlos Quentin are presently employed. They are not part of the next White Sox Championship team. It's more like they need an opening at 1B or DH. He's a brutal defender. There's a reason he's on the trading block. The Reds would stick him in LF if he was any good there.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) Yonder Alonso. Yes, please. I like Alonso, but we are in for some circus like corner OF defense next season and beyond. De Aza or Rios will have much work to do going to both sides.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 04:08 PM) It has been reported that the Reds are apparently willing to shop almost anyone. I wonder if they would be willing to part with either catcher, Devin Mesoraco or Grandal. Meso is going nowhere. Top 10 - 15 MLB prospect who is major league ready. Grandal maybe. I'm a huge fan of Yasmani.

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) Speculation as to who they would be discussing? Probably Alonso.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 04:03 PM) Then it would open up the Nationals to offer Buehrle possibly a 4th year or maybe just an option for a 4th year. I really think he's going there unless the Nationals were the team to offer Wilson six years. I sure hope so. I'd like to watch him dominate the NL.
