Quin

I'm waiting to hear what the finalized deal is...something keeps telling me that there is more.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:23 PM) And Bassit can be put in that convo as well. If Eaton pans out he could be a huge addition to the top of the lineup. He's stolen 38 and 44 bases in the minors before, had good walk numbers, and made contact. Hopefully the top of the lineup can be Eaton-Avi-JDA

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) The scouting report on Eaton suggests that his best skill is getting on base. However, he has yet to prove that at the MLB level. If is not successful at that, he is nothing more than a fourth outfielder. He lacks the speed and skill to stick in CF. He lacks the power to be a corner outfielder, and he also does not have the arm for RF. Even if he can get on base, he is not a real threat to steal, to make him an ideal lead off hitter. With his skill set, if he were a proven player in the big leagues, he might be worth Santiago. But, he is still only a prospect. Please don't tell me that he is all the Sox are going to get for Santiago, plus a prospect!!! The fact that he bats left handed is not significant, in that our need is for a LH hitting, middle of the order guy. He's no Grady Sizemore, that's for sure. BUT HE IS LEFT HANDED.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) And of course you have guys like Beck and Snodgress who are probably just a season away, if that And Jaye and Danish. QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) I would guess that first round pick in 2014 is going to be a pitcher. I'm not worried about the Sox acquiring or developing pitchers. They seem to do that better than most. Yup. People seem to forget this. It seems like the Sox pulled Hector and Q from nowhere.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:07 PM) Lol, Jim Duquette on mlb.com right now saying he loves the deal for Arizona because Trumbo has so much power, and he doesn't like the deal for the Angels because Santiago is barely a #5 guy and Skaggs is a question mark. lol, f***ing idiot. And of course, he didn't mention anything about Adam Eaton. Angels made out like bandits.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:03 PM) Yeah, I don't want to move Beck at all. I put him up there with Erik and Micah and Semien and a couple others in the "for the love of god, don't move in this deal". He's a tier below those 3 and Danish for me, but I like Beck a lot.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:00 PM) jon heyman of CBS Sports saying Trumbo to Arizona, Skaggs, Santiago to Anaheim and Eaton to Sox. That's all. Goddamn steal for the Angels if that's it.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:52 PM) I'm still holding out hope for Howie, or Conger now that he has been mentioned. I just don't see how LA gets Santiago, Skaggs, and Cahill. AZ get Trumbo plus 2 prospects and we get Eaton. Something is coming back, it's a matter of what and how significant. Howie or conger would be a hell of a deal, and I would be beyond excited Seriously, damn well better get Davidson, Owings, Conger, or Kendrick.

QUOTE (sircaffey @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:38 PM) I'm trying to figure out why people think Hector is a SP. Because he starts games.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) I'm still trying to figure out why everybody is so anxious to get rid of a 26 year old starting pitcher who is 4 years away from free agency and has a 126 ERA+ in 224 innings. I'm not anxious to, but if we can get some young bats I'm willing. The Sox don't need to "settle" for a deal with Hector, which is the main thing Hahn needs to look at.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Pray it falls through then unless we get another major piece. I am. Santiago alone is worth more than just Eaton, but when the Sox add a prospect something else has to give.

Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez Three-team deal "not imminent" but "getting pretty close," source says. Howie Kendrick NOT involved in it. #Angels #Dbacks #WhiteSox Sox need something else then.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) Don't like the idea of trading Q but I'll wait to see how this plays out. If it's Q we better be getting Eaton, Davidson, Owings, and Kendrick.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:18 PM) Toronto? For?

So Eaton and Kendrick for Hector+? I'm hoping we aren't tossing in a big prospect, something like Thompson maybe, but not Beck or better. But then...where do De Aza and Gordon go?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:09 PM) @SteveGilbertMLB said, Dbacks would get two prospects in this proposed trade. I'm told one from Angels, one from White Sox. I want Owings or Davidson as well in this case.

I'd want Davidson or Owings as well. When I saw Owings he had legit power and speed. Maybe add Beck for one of them? I also feel like Kepp is as good as gone.

QUOTE (wardo @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 07:31 AM) Not at all. And i'm just using the Cubs as an example. I think that is a realistic return because although he has been an ace and is very controllable, there are a lot of question marks with him. His mechanics are unorthodox, and he's still young. You don't know in a few years if his arm will give out and he will continue to have his current success. Plus a team is not going to give every one of their major-league ready prospects for one guy. Honestly if i was Hahn i'd look to move him right now, when the demand for him is probably higher than it ever will be. I just don't think the return is going to be as much as expected, and fans will be upset. If you were Hahn and accepted that offer, you'd be fired on the spot.

Sounds like a KW inspired deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 10:25 AM) Or it could set the Sox back about 5 years too. which is why it needs to be a God's ransom.

Now that Sale talks are heating up, I'd actually try to get teams in a bidding war. Package I'd ultimately settle on, from Dbacks: Eaton, Davidson, Owings, Bradley, Trahan, Skaggs and Delgado. Sox toss in Nate Jones. You then hope in a few years you get this... 1B - JDA 2B - Semien SS - Owings 3B - Eaton LF - Hawkins CF - Eaton RF - Garcia DH - Viciedo Quintana Delgado Santiago/Skaggs Johnson Bradley You need a God's Ransom for Sale. Nothing less.

Dunno where else I'd ask this (other than a doctor), but I've found that incredibly high pitched noises can make my body feel like it's going momentarily limp. Is that weird?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 01:13 AM) When is Rock/Bucket appearance not nice? "The White Sox are moving to Indianapolis"

For me: 10,836 posts (6.84 per day) I expected more per day.
