Jake Lamb or Brandon Drury are also a couple of options that could be headed the Sox way if they make a deal with Arizona.

f*** Samardzija.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:14 PM) In terms of ceiling, it goes Bryant, Russell, Baez, Schwarber. You rank Russell and Baez ahead of Schwarber? Interesting.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:09 PM) For me, sending him to the north side, it starts with Russell. I'd also be content with Bryant or Schwarber.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:06 PM) Ignoring the merits of such a deal, Quintana is probably my favorite Sox player right now, and I will root for him wherever he goes if we trade him, but man it would really suck to see him in red and blue. Agreed, but seeing Addison Russell as the White Sox shortstop for the foreseeable future would be pretty sweet too.

Who I want in a perfect world - Nolan Arenado Who I think they might trade for if they decide to go "all in" - Todd Frazier Who they would most likely trade for if they are going to make a deal - Brett Lawrie Who will most likely be the third baseman on Opening Day - Mike Olt or Tyler Saladino

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 05:07 PM) I was kinda wondering about something along the lines of CarGo for LaRoche/ Montas/ low level ML player. Melky goes to DH, CarGo to LF and Thompson/Avi/Shuck in RF. I like this idea. *slow clap*

Another factor that hasn't been discussed much is that it could be possible to deal Avila/Navarro at the deadline as rentals if the Sox are out of it by then.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) No I will not. Catch all's are not tolerated on this site. They are a detriment to healthy discussion and make it more difficult for people to read the site. I'm sorry for offending you. I apologize.

Can you please open up the offseason plan thread again while you're at it?

$1.5 million seems like a lot for him IMO.

That 2013 team was so bad haha.

Here's the same question we've heard a million times already when talking about acquiring a second baseman...what happens to Johnson and Sanchez if the Sox do get someone else?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:38 AM) Who needs Dwayne Allen when you have Zach Miller? I was actually debating whether I should have picked up Miller in my fantasy league when Jimmy Graham got hurt lol.

I'd like to pick up Petit to replace Scott Carroll.

There were 53 stolen bases against Flowers last season? Good lord...

Can this guy play third base at all or is he strictly a second baseman?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:06 AM) I recall him killing the Sox when he was on the Cubs. He had a 3 homer game against the Sox at Wrigley IIRC.

The Sox rotation can make any catcher look good pitch framing wise. I'm not worried about the defensive downgrade at all.

Not surprising at all.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 12:10 AM) Sox already have his twin- Mike Olt This is exactly what I was thinking as well. I always confuse Middlebrooks and Olt because they're so alike...not to mention that they're both terrible.

I'm super anxious to see what the corresponding move to this will be....hopefully Hahn doesn't f*** this up.

If Hahn truly felt like he was going to get Lucroy at some point this offseason, Avila would've never been brought in. Just my opinion.

Am I the only one that doesn't see Anderson's skills translating well at the big league level?

QUOTE (lord chas @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 08:20 PM) Lucroy is coming to the southside Is this just a prediction or do you know something that everyone else doesn't?
