We still have multiple players on the 40-man who could be dropped at a moment's notice (de Los santos, Heath, Molina, Mitchell), so we should not be precluded from continuing to improve the roster (cough...catcher....cough...).

Smart move by Hahn. I'm so glad he's our GM.

Beckham suffers the same affliction. Anyway, good riddance.

Maybe someday he'll be league average.

LOLZ. So true.

God bless him and his family.

I'm with you -- I'd love to have Murphy.

We're not getting either of those guys (or Castro/Lucroy) without giving up Q. So, I think it's about time we focus on realistic possibilities.

The Sox would be foolish to value Jones any less than they did Reed.

That would be cool, but since Beckham is well below league average, I don't see why the Yankees would be interested.

That would work.

Here's Sickels' profile of Murphy: http://www.minorleagueball.com/2013/9/11/4...ew-york-yankees

Personally, I'm a fan of Murphy. Good defense and nice secondary skills. He'd be superior to anyone we have currently. As far as the cost, maybe Keppinger, Snodgrass, and 4 million?

CBS Sportsline is reporting that the Sox are targeting Yankees' catching prospect J.R. Murphy.

I would continue to try to trade ADA, Dayan, and/or Beckham for the best deal you can get. I'd try to dump Keppinger and Dunn for nothing. We haven't addressed the catching situation at all. Something will be done. Just a matter of timing.

I doubt people around the league think as highly of Carlos Sanchez as we do.

Signing Perez makes no sense. He's expensive and not very good. Is anyone other than me familiar with Nate Jones' FIPs? Give him the job and let him run with it.

Yeah, sorry. I believe I'm having early onset Demetria...for realz.

Bullpen or positional player?

I see what your saying, but there's always the chance of Veal turning it around and being useful, even if it is a remote chance. OTOH, Morel will never be useful for anything...

I'd like to vote for Morel please.

Hank Conger.

Each one of those guys is going to be as expensive as all get out...We don't need them.

Seriously. I don't think some folks on here appreciate how good he can be. He slashed more than a full walk off of his walk rate last year. What if that continues to improve?

The Paulino signing. LOL.
