Give me the Sox rotation easily IMO.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:19 PM) Don't overdo it. Why do the Sox need all of those guys? One big bat like Upton should be enough to fix this offense, and we keep all of our pitching. Just think of this lineup. CF - Eaton DH - Cabrera 1B - Abreu LF - Cespedes RF - Upton 3B - Frazier 2B - Lawrie C - Avila/Navarro SS - Saladino #winning

Now trade for Frazier and sign Cespedes and Upton.

The Sox win this deal pretty clearly IMO. Isn't Erwin coming off of TJ surgery or am I thinking of someone else?

ALL HAIL RICK HAHN!!!!

Is Shuck involved or not? If he is, I'm pretty bummed.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:03 PM) Nice. Next domino to fall.... Frazier... Then the big one right after midnight J Up to the south side for 6 years 115 Why would they acquire Frazier unless Lawrie goes to second base?

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 07:55 PM) Atlanta trying to tank by grabbing as many 2015 Sox as possible. Can't fault the strategy, maybe Hahn should take advantage? Hello Braves, your table is right over here, can we interest you in an Avisail Garcia, Carlos Sanchez, Adam LaRoche or Melky Cabrera. All 4 are on special! I like that thinking. Perhaps you should be the GM instead of Hahn.

Why does it seem like all White Sox castoffs go to Atlanta?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:18 PM) Wat It would never happen, I'd just like to see the chaos that would ensue if it did. There would be so many people posting at once that it'd be impossible to keep track of what would be going on.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Anderson, yes. Because Frazier is actually a good baseball player. He is a major upgrade. Lawrie isn't a good baseball player. He may not even be better than Saladino at 3B over a full year. Brett Lawrie shouldn't excite ANYONE. We'll have to agree to disagree then because I definitely think that Lawrie would be an upgrade over Saladino.

What if the Sox got Lawrie, Frazier, CarGo, and Upton within the next 24 hours? This forum would explode lol.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 04:01 PM) I would rather trade our #1 prospect for 2 years of Todd Frazier than simply acquire Brett Lawrie for free. He's not good. We can only hope he becomes average one of these years. And then there is the baggage and personality that comes along with it. Are you kidding? You'd rather trade Anderson or Fulmer for 2 years of Frazier instead of a lower level guy for Lawrie?

Bruce Harper

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 03:40 PM) Wonder if David Murphy for 3rd base starts to become an option with Walker going to the Mets? David Murphy?

Mike Trout.

Please do not associate Jim Thome and Adam LaRoche together. Thanks.

I'm not sure what the holdup is but I want something to happen god dammit.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:58 AM) So - trade Avi and Engle for Lawrie and then sign Upton seems to be the big plan? Supplemental moves to follow. A lineup of Eaton Melky Abreu Upton Lawrie LaRoche Navarro Saladino Sanchez doesn't seem that bad and is much improved over the 2015 version. I just don't know if it would make the Sox a playoff caliber team though.

Bruce Levine is an idiot that cannot even type a complete sentence without making a grammatical mistake. I cannot believe that he has a job in baseball if he cannot even formulate a sentence. That is all.

I feel like the Sox should sell high on Engel now. He was a nobody before the AFL, and now he's on the radar. It's time to capitalize on his value.

Avi would struggle to hit 5 homers in Oakland lol. For a big dude, he literally has no pull power whatsoever.

I truly think that Lawrie could be a 20 homer guy on the South Side...that would be amazing.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) I do. You just don't like what I throw out there. Acquire young talent. Don't trade for rents, career years and mediocre veterans. What the Sox are doing has a 100% failure rate. I have no interest in the average Lawrie, except on the cheap. This team is not competing in 2016, no matter how much fawning Williams and Hahn do at the feet of Billy Beane. No matter how many of our young players we hand over to him. And if the price I heard is correct, it's an outrage. You're the guy that wants to trade Eaton and Melky but keep Avi... That plan seems like it'd have a 100% failure rate as well.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) Eh..it's his shtick. Whatever. I like coming up with different ideas, crazy ideas and have fun in the offseason. Some people on here take it way too serious. I like the Sox and this is an awesome board. I'm on it because it's the best on the Internet. I like the posters on here too. 100% agree. This place is also why I don't discuss Sox baseball on Twitter anymore. There are way too many nitwits on there. I love this forum.
