whitesox61382 I was thinking along the same lines as you, get garcia, wynn, and a bullpen arm, that way you fill 3 holes while trading maggs, then we'd have another starting pitcher, and a pretty good leadoff hitter, with another solid bullpen arm, I think that would be a pretty damn good deal.

Problem with Carlos Guillen is that his Range factor is not that impressive

Mark my word, I will cry if they trade BeastlyOrdonez

Need a Tissue?

Yes.

for beastly, one for each eye.

Garcia, Wynn and a STUD prospect is the only way I do it. The Sox are bailing the Mariners out big time by taking off their problem child in Garcia. But it would free up enough money so the Sox could get Washburn (read in the LA times that if they can't move him in the next week, he will be nontendered) and then focus on adding two relievers and calling it an offseason.

 

I hate the idea of Maggs for Garcia, but if they got Randy Wynn and a STUD STUD prospect, no bulls*** no spare parts, one of the very best, then I'd say go for it.

And if they want Jose, then it makes a lot more sense. Jose and Magglio for Guillen, Garcia, Randy Wynn, and a STUD PROSPECT. Sox clear plenty of money and get some solid players in return, plus the top prospect and I'd ask for one of their big 3 for prospects and wouldn't back down from that.

 

Although I'd rather just dump Maggs for Wynn and two prospects and let them non tender Garcia and use all the money you save to pick your own free agents.

Rogers said Kenny asked for Garcia and Soriano in return for Magglio. I think if the Sox hold to that, they could get it done. When you think about the other two pitchers you could add on top of that and I don't think its a bad move. Especially because Soriano is pretty damn good.

And if they want Jose, then it makes a lot more sense.  Jose and Magglio for Guillen, Garcia, Randy Wynn, and a STUD PROSPECT.  Sox clear plenty of money and get some solid players in return, plus the top prospect and I'd ask for one of their big 3 for prospects and wouldn't back down from that.

Looks like we're not goin to be able to get Randy Winn. From the LA Times,

 

Evans and Seattle General Manager Bill Bavasi, formerly the Dodger farm director, are discussing a deal that would bring outfielder Randy Winn, whom Evans tried to acquire when Winn was with Tampa Bay, to Los Angeles, a Dodger source said. The club is also interested in Tampa Bay outfielder-first baseman Aubrey Huff.

Garcia for Maggs is unacceptable. Period.
