SIU/SEMO game tonight! Good luck to you SIU fans.

Would rather have Micah start then Ackley

Boooooo!!!

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) 5/120 is $20, not $25, a year. $20 would be $100. It would just be under $25 million a year

How bout this guy?

I really like the idea of Micah as the 2B at the bottom of the order. Another exciting player to watch

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 12:55 PM) I'd prefer Sanchez start, he's slappy enough to be effective at the bottom of the order and his glove really impressed me last season. Micah off the bench, pinch hitting and filling in when at 2B when Sanchez moves around the IF. As far as I'm concerned we are really just waiting for Anderson. Edit - pinch running Lol, Micah would not be on the bench. He will be starting in AAA or MLB

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:17 AM) Headley is just too expensive for the expected upgrade, and getting older. I'm sure they made the same determination on Sandoval. LF is another issue, though. We can obviously state ad infinitum we'd LOVE for 3B, 2B and C to be sure things, but no team has that certainty top to bottom through their 25 man roster. I think we add one more bat and maybe another pitcher and we will be set for the year. There will be a couple holes but every team has those. Eaton Ramirez Abreu LaRoche Garcia Hitter Gillaspie Flowers Johnson/Sanchez Looks really good if Gillaspie hits over .280 and continues to improve and Garcia is at full strength

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 01:11 AM) I think so too. Merkin alluded to such a few months ago. It's a scary prospect though. To go all in with these types of moves and then rely on an injury prone, suspect defensive 2B that hasn't hit above AA. Long-term Micah may be the option, but he hasn't shown himself to be ready just yet. I hate to see Semien go also. I think he will have an excellent season if given the chance to play every day. I think I want Johnson starting 2B for us.. Have him hit 9th and I think he would do well. Johnson and Eaton on the base paths throughout a game could cause havoc. If he struggles you always have Sanchez or Saldino to plug in there. A #9 hitter at 2B we can live with if he has his struggles. That line up would be very exciting though

I just want to know for sure who we are trading so I can be excited again

So much better then Danish and Trey IMO! I can't take all this excitement in one night!!

BREAKING: A's trade Jeff Samardzija to White Sox for Marcus Semien, Trayce Thompson & Chris Beck.

Bullpen is looking pretty good now!

I believe you guys!

I don't believe you

When I wake up tomorrow this thread will be on page 180

Love how the A's trade Moss for a 24 year old MI that wasn't even a top 5 prospect for the Indians and they are wanting 3 top of our prospects for a one year guy? I guess our prospects are probably over valued but I really like Trey and Danish.

Also if they trade Semien I really think Johnson will be our 2B unless he sucks at spring training

No, I really liked Danish!

More Yankees talk

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:55 PM) Agreed. Potential switch hitting 3B. Umm he is a lefty 2B

Probably won't find anything out until tomorrow

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I thought I had Jeter rammed up my ass enough this past year. Yeah he retired. Let's move on.
