QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Nov 13, 2012 -> 12:24 AM) I'd jizz myself and call it an offseason. How about we also trade Beckham, de aza, quintana, and a minor leaguer for justin upton C flowers 1B konerko/dunn 2B sanchez 3B headley SS ramirez LF upton CF hamilton RF rios 1. Sale 2. Peavy 3. Danks 4. Liriano 5. Castro LHP veal, thorton, septimo RHP crain, axelrod, jones CP reed

viciedo and floyd traded to san diego for headley and a minor league pitcher. Then we turn around and sign josh hamilton top play LF.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) Listen, when I get halfway good info I PM it out to a few people. My post was pretty rock solid. Our pitching is for sale, not many of our young position players unless its an awesome deal. I would give dayan up if justin upton was involved. Maybe start with dayan and floyd.

i wonder if we even thought about moving courtney hawkins to 3B? our top pick last year. he has great athleticism and a very strong arm. he has a big bat for a corner infield position. and at 6'3" 220 has great size for it as well. could be an option in a couple years to take the position.

Did he show that maybe he could be the left handed DH next year? Making dunn trade able?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 26, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) Making it even more doubtful we'll pick up that 2013 option... Just too big of a risk, trying to trade him. Of course, the danger is having too many lefties with Danks, Sale, Quintana and ???/???. Santiago, Humber, Axelrod, Castro, Molina and Rienzo are all in the mix, one would think. Why its having too many lefties a problem? You can have 4 righties and that is fine.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 12, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) It's the devil you know versus the devil you don't in Floyd vs. Liriano. Personally, I'm just as worried if we keep using Matt Thornton in key situations that Brett Myers will be locked in for $10 million on our roster next year. Unless it's as a starter, that would be a disaster for our payroll and make the bullpen prohibitively expensive...even as they've said it's not a factor, it has to be a prime KW consideration in determining whether we can retain AJ and/or Youk. And dumping that salary next year would be next to impossible as well. Thortton needs to go!

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Aug 6, 2012 -> 02:38 PM) If you assume he trades Quintana, you have to assume there's a good chance that it's part of a package for a pitcher in return. Otherwise, it would be AJ or Youkilis' replacement. Or, Beckham's replacement? This right here. I'd longer to see beckham packaged in a deal as well. You can always find defensive second baseman. See if we can't get a prospect third and second baseman. Our let saladino, try second. His fielding is very good, and his bat is no worse than beckham. Maybe not as much pop, but let's be honest it isn't like beckham has a big bat himself. Keep stocking the farm system.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 25, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) None of that is close to having any basis in reality. Wow just throwing s*** out. No need to take it personal! Wonder how realistic the hanley ramirez trade would sound before it went down? You would have said the same stupid s***.

The cubs are fire selling too. Beckham, a top product, humber, another prospect To chicago for starling castro. Comes in and plays second.

More proof of what is wrong with baseball. They need a cap. How do they take on his contract too. http://tracking.si.com/2012/07/23/ichiro-t...2&eref=sihp

I'm also exited about barnum as I think he is the future at first base. I think pauly has three more years left in him to allow this kids to develop his huge power.

I'd like to see castro get some opportunities in august and september to see what he has. If he succeeds then I would like to see floyd traded for more prospects to line our farm team, then go with a rotation next year like this. Sale Peavy-back at a lower price Danks Quintana Castro That would actually put 3 lefties in our starting rotation.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 12:45 PM) Danks is not really impressing me very much in the outfield. Isn't he supposed to be really good there? He made a nice diving catch earlier in the game.

Boy do you remember how bad he was last year? Maybe he is that much more comfortable in right field. If he can do this again next year I wouldn't mind him coming back. Definitely not for the same price. But he uss looking real good this year.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 19, 2012 -> 09:13 AM) I think I'm at the point where I'd be willing to try something different at 3B. ODog is not the answer, Morel won't be back for a while, and I don't believe Escobar or Lillibridge are legitimate options. f*** it, I think I might give Dan Johnson a shot at this point if I was KW. We are coming to a crossroads soon, and I have concerns about our ability to remain competive if we continue getting no offensive production out of 3B. Giving Dan Johnson the job is the ultimate last resort decision, but he'd get some walks and hit some HRs, which I'd hope would compensate for the defensive downgrade he presents. I guess I don't see the harm at this point. If he sucks, which is very possible, give the job back to ODog or hopefully Morel eventually. I just think we need to try something, because things can't get much worse at 3B. If that Is the case why not try wilkins at third. I wonder if we could convert the kid we just drafted in the first round to play 3rd? He is big, athletic, and had a plus arm. Wr are loaded with outfield talent. He might grow even more into a corner infielder.

How about matt davidson of arizona? He is the #9 third base prospect. Is 21 I don't know if he is ready our not, but gives us a future guy for there. Might be able to help right away. They have a young guy on the major roster playing right now that the manager is high on. Josh bell. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 01:02 PM) So you'd rather have traded De Aza? ??? Ummmmm no! I like de aza. I was saying that to the person that said axelrod is only a AAAA player. The same was said by a few here about de aza too.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 16, 2012 -> 12:51 PM) He's not good. AAAA material. As for trading Floyd to the Jays, that's a silly idea. Unless Floyd's right arm completely fell off today, his value couldn't be any lower. That is what a lot of people said about de aza too.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 09:46 AM) Gavin needs to ditch the damn cutter. Just saw the Tigers are looking into acquiring Quentin & the Tribe have their eyes on Soriano since Damon is stinking up the joint. We need to get this rotation fixed going forward if we want to stay in this race throughout the summer. Oh geez the tigers just might have the worst defense in the history of baseball. Adding quinton makes it even worse. I hope the tigers do make the move

QUOTE (spiderman @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 03:42 PM) Who are the prospects? Mitchell is playing better, but hasn't he dropped off the top prospect radar? I think it's reasonable to have high expectations for Hawkins, but the rest of the propsects are guys like Jordan Danks, right? I liter ther thompson kids also. I thought he showed a lot in the spring.

Thompson is the one I am excited for. I think he has a ton of talent and looked good in spring.

I wonder if the mets would be interested in gavin floyd, jordan danks, nestor molina or simon castro, and a lower level prospect or two for david wright? I like quintana over floyd right now. And weight as the number two hitter would be great.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 12:37 PM) Thinking about it, this is probably Kenny's way of trying to increase the bidding on Matt. i hope so... because we see how matt looked last year and it wasn't pretty.

how about giving this guy a 1 year deal and see if he can be our centerfielder and leadoff? if he can remain healthy he could really help out our offense alot.
