Meh. Peavy was about the only one who had value. Alexei had some but that was it.

Q is being traded for an impact bat. Not a few prospects.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) You might want to look at his stats. Specifically, games played in recent years. I know he used to be good but haven't payed attention to him lately. I know he's had some injury issues.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) The Sox should see what it takes to get Danny Valencia from Oakland to plug up 3B. I'd send Micah & Beck over there for him and that plugs a huge hole in the line-up with a decent defender. He is arb eligible this year and a free agent after next season, but he is a good candidate to take a team friendly 3 year deal IMO. My new off season plan... Trade Micah Johnson and Chris Beck to Oakland for Danny Valencia & LHP Fernando Abad Trade Adam LaRoche + 4m to Pirates for nothing. Trade Frankie Montas, Erik Johnson, Tyler Saladino and Avisail Garcia to Rockies for Carlos Gonzalez Sign Matt Wieters 1 yr/12m + 5 mil in health/performance incentives and a club option for 18m Sign Ian Kennedey to 2 yr/20M deal Accept 10M option on Alexei Ramirez Sign Ben Zobrist to 2yr/25M deal Resign Albers 1 yr/2m Line-up LF - Adam Eaton 2B - Ben Zobrist 1B - Jose Abreu RF - CarGo DH - Melky Cabrera C - Matt Wieters 3B - Danny Valencia SS - Alexei Ramirez CF - Trayce Thompson SP - Sale Q Rodon Kennedy Danks (Traded or sent to bullpen after ASB, rotation spot taken by Fulmer) Pen Robertson Jones Duke Abad Putnam Albers Jennings Bench - Brantly - C Sanchez - IF Shuck - OF Garcia - IF/OF Love some of the ideas. As for the person asked if we need 4 new position players. Sure why not? This team sucked defensively and offensively. I personally want to see a trade involving Q for Arenado.

I haven't looked at Wieters stats but Id love to have him over Flowers.

Q for Arenado

That's why Q is the guy we move. We need talent in this lineup so he could help fetch us some.

Clearing space from Arenado I see.

Shuck at DH lol That's one of the dumbest f***ing things I've heard.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 12:47 PM) I think the targets are going to be the best player available. If the Sox are going in thinking we have to take a hitter at 10 and a pitcher with the comp pick or whatever, their draft is screwed I agree. That's every draft in any sport. BPA We need to find some hitters though. Still a year from seeing Anderson.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 09:06 AM) I'd be careful saying Thompson is "much better defensively", this early in his career, as a CF. Also, trading Eaton is removing one of the only two positives in the lineup this year, really. Trading him for Thompson will be a significant overall downgrade, probably. Thompson makes a lot more sense to replace Avisail than Eaton. Yup. Melky, Eaton, Trayce. I guess I could live with that if we made an impact bat trade at 3B.

This lineup sucks so let's get rid of eaton? Lol

So we all thinking we will draft a hitter at #10? Who are the "targets"? I haven't read anything on prospects yet.

So what move Melky to RF? Move Q in a package for Arenado lol progress!

Heyward is like 26. He'll be the big fish of the bats. Maybe a 5/80 for Cespedes or Upton. I don't know what the market would be and if I'd sign them yet. Just throwing two names out there with numbers.

It's the offseason. The only time I can be optimistic. This team needs to make a true splash for Heyward or Puig.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Oct 5, 2015 -> 12:30 PM) Seriously, after seeing how BAD our defense was this year, I would really be curious to see us just LOAD UP on defensive talents and see how much better our pitching staff really becomes. Acquire someone like Kevin Pillar for CF. Have Eaton-Pillar-Thompson in the OF. Put Saladino at 3B, acquire Hech from the Marlins and have him play SS, or take Simmons from the Braves. Leave Carlos Sanchez at 2B. This team would continue to suck at scoring runs, but our defense and pitching would be other worldly. Q for Simmons lol?

This is so white sox...

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 3, 2015 -> 04:26 PM) Francona needs to be fired. SI had them winning the WS. Francona is a WS winning manager. Robin has won jack s***. You can have more patience with Francona.

The market for Sale would be an all time high. Ya you could go spend the fortune on someone like Price but Sale is a great young LHP under reasonable control and hitting his prime.

Just give me Heyward. Then move Q in a blockbuster for Arenado. Then add a SP in FA.

I know our lineup sucks but this team continuously makes stupid mistakes and lacks fundamentals.

It's not all on Robin but we can all agree he has no business being the manager. Stop defending him DA.

For me, a new manager needs to be one who makes the correct decisions. Can get this team up and going. Hold these guys accountable. This team and organization is a clown show.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 2, 2015 -> 02:31 PM) They have one of the 5 best pitchers in baseball. They have another pitcher that has been 8th in fWAR since 2013. They also have another TOR with 6 years of control. They have a good bullpen. They have cornerstone pieces in Abreu/Eaton. There are absolutely holes. They have pitching though and loads of it. I need to see what happens this offseason before I start writing off future seasons. That's just me though. While all that is true, we still suck defensively and offensively. Let's see this team get another big bat or two. They're also just a bunch of mental midgets at times. This team has regressed ever since Robins first year defensively.
