If you traded Sale to Dodgers……...
keithlaw @keithlaw 6m6 minutes ago Alex Guerrero hit .500/.500/1.273 in his first 11 games and has hit .196/.227/.339 since. For everyone that wants Guerrero this off season. All I have to say is lol

Adam Eaton
QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 05:56 PM) Which is what the Sox should be doing. Eaton is hardly someone you should build around offensively or defensively. He can't carry you in either aspect. For a team looking to contend, he's the right player as one of the missing pieces. As a team so far away like the Sox, he should be the top of your trade block. Maybe Trayce isn't that good, maybe he is. Point is, you pet him play and find out what you have with him while some team overpays for Eaton. QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 05:57 PM) Makes perfect sense, especially if you think Eaton has peaked, which I do. I don't like him long term for this team unless we decide to sign a bunch of boppers. QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) Has he showed vast improvement from one year to the next? Not really. In fact, you can argue his defense has gotten worse. You're just wrong on so many levels. If you want to package him, package him for what? Trading him would make Abreu the only one on offense that is worth a damn right now. Sox have a rotation you can win with right now, just a matter of finding the right offensive players to go along with that. Eaton is definitely in that discussion. With 9 games left in the season, Eaton has tied his doubles from last year, 1 less triple, 12 more HRs, more RBIs, SBs the same, more walks, more strikeouts (negative), lower average (.283), lower OBP (356), higher ops. If you want Trayce in the lineup and move Eaton to LF then I could do that, but flat out trading him on a team friendly contract is just wrong. You want Adam Eaton in your lineup, you can win with him. Only thing I agree with you is that his defense has regressed this year, but was great last year. Give him a 3rd year to see how it goes.

Who will have the better career when it's all said and done?
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) Agreed, no reason Rodon can't be a 1-2. Fulmer more likely a 3-4. I think Rodon has a chance to be an ace with a floor of being a 2-3. Fulmer has a chance to be a 1-2 with a floor of an elite closer. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) I think Fulmer has a chance to be a star. I think Rodon will be a star. Completely agree.

If you traded Sale to Dodgers……...
Back on topic. If the Sox traded Sale to the Dodgers, I'd ask for Puig, Urias, and Barnes. I still would be hesitant on that deal.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:34 AM) @JulieDiCaro Source says rape kit exam of Kane accuser was cut short because of problems with equipment. Could explain lack of DNA. This chick has had it out for Kane from the get go. Also tweeted that the semen collected could of been from 5 years ago, saying that this girl was "active" at the age of 16. Really embarrassing and disgusting reporting.

Adam Eaton
QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 25, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) No contradiction. He's a "keeper" in the sense that he's a decent baseball player. I hope the Sox trade him because he's not as good as his numbers, he'd return value and you can't build a team trading prospects only. Trayce Thompson is a building block and should be our CF next year. But Robbie boy keeps wheeling out Melky, Alexei and Eaton day after day after day. I completely disagree with you. It's so hard to find a good leadoff hitter and average to above average defensive CF. This year not so great defensively, but last year he was pretty damn good. According to Baseball Reference, in his 2 years with the Sox, he has a combined 9.3 WAR. 5.6 last year and 3.7 this year. He's 26, and with so few offensive building blocks, you don't trade that away.....

Definitely a player to build around on the offensive side along with Abreu.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 08:51 PM) It's kind of ruined a Stanley Cup summer. Better go win another one. This whole thing deserves justice, but neither party will get it. The Blackhawks will have to tread lightly with Kane for at least a season. I wouldn't be surprised if the Blackhawks would want Kane to get some treatment for alcohol abuse as well. I could definitely see that happening

2015 Recruiting thread
QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 24, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) Would be a good role player for us, hopefully he sees that as well. If he's looking to be a starter from the get go then he isn't coming to Illinois. I don't think he's looking for what from what I have read about him. He really doesn't shoot the ball that well, but he is a good finisher below the rim, and is supposedly an elite defender.

Nothing official yet, but it looks like 4 star SF Xavier Sneed is announcing September 28th. Illinois is among the top choices and would be a good get.

My/Your Off Season Plan
QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 08:49 PM) For the catcher spot, I'm a big Derek Norris fan. Padres willing to deal him likely with Hedges on the roster. That's who I'm interested in as well. Good defensively, and isn't a black hole in the lineup. He can actually hit.

How many of last off-seasons "big" moves would the Sox make
QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 11:19 AM) How different would the team have fared with Adam Lind, Miguel Montero, Melky Cabrera, Samardzija, Duke, and Robertson as the additions? The Sox apparently finished 2nd in acquiring Lind and 2nd in acquiring Heyward. They would have given up more prospects but that team would have been a lot better potentially. I wonder what the asking price was for Lind and Heyward from us. That would of been remarkable if Hahn/KW could of pulled that off.

Well, it's that time of year again....2015 edition
QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 07:50 AM) Good day for the Sox- back to 10. Red Sox beat the Rays. Everyone else won. Just get in the top 10 and sign Jason Heyward.

If the Sox arent in the top 10, how do you improve this offseason?
QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 23, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) Honestly, the Soc need to clean house outside of Abreu and Sale. Even then, I might see what I can fetch for Sale. Let KW go. I'd also let Hahn go and fire Robin. Trade Quintana, Eaton, Johnson, and everyone outside of Abreu and Sale, and load up on prospects. I don't want to hear about we don't have a spot open in the OF or infield. This while team pretty much sucks. If you're gonna do that, you might as well blow the whole thing up because by the time the Sox would be ready to compete, Abreu & Sale will be older and that much closer to free agency.
