What would you do at the trade deadline if, say, we do not get Iguchi, and we go with the roster we have now, and assume no injuries

 

I think we upgrade 2B at deadline, unless Harris is kicking ass this year

 

Or we upgrade 3B with a stop gap vet that can split time with Crede

 

Unless of course Crede gets his swing corrected and provides a huge lift this year

 

I know it is early but I love trade deadlines with "wheeling-but-flying-under-the-radar-Kenny"

 

Obviously I am assuming our BP plays strong, El Duque stays relatively healthy and we get a strong performance from our pitching in the first half as expected

 

Which 2B could we get at the deadline because they play on a team that will go nowhere and will be FA after the year?

 

And please NO ONE mention Robbie Alomar :headshake :puke

Let's get rid of Girlie

 

Seriously though, we should go after Robbie Alomar if he's available.

 

I mean it, I really do.

Robbie might be available right now since the Cards got Grudz, they will not sign Robbie now I believe

 

So we will not need to give up prospects AGAIN for Alomar

 

Or Everett at the deadline

 

Joe Randa, there you go I've said it. A lot of people think around here think Crede can produce next season, or at least improve, I'm not one of them. He's a notorious slow satrter, and if he doesn't get off to a fast start, a stopgap solution will be found, and Josh Fields will take over in 2006.

Has Alomar proven he could hit in the past few seasons? :banghead

I don't want Alomar, man. I was just buls***ting.

I mentioned randa at the beginning of free agency and was told he is not that big of upgrade over crede. But i think for only two million dollars he was a much better option. I know everyone wants to give crede another year or two but i honestly do not think he is gonna succeed here.

I think Crede will have a good year this year. I know I'm in the minority with that opinion, but I just think he'll be fine.

What if he has another year like last year. What would you do with him?

A lot depends on how well the team is doing. If we are in contention despite a poor year from Crede, I'd try and bring in a stopgap guy. If this new team assembled by Kenny goes down the tubes, I wouldn't mind keeping him around to try and get him straightened out. He showed too much talent in the minors for him not to have the skills.

I think the Giants could fall apart so I will go WAY out on a limb and predict that we enter the Jason Schmidt sweepstakes. Just a fun guess.

As long as bonds is healthy they will contend. If he goes down they will probally lose a hundred games.

Me and CWSOX45 were talking about that at school yesturday. I really think Schmidt is going to be on the market come July.

I doubt it, like qwerty said as long as Bonds is healthy they're going to contend.

My biggest concern with Crede is that he starts fast this time and just tanks after the AS break

 

That way, we will not do anything to upgrade at the trade deadline for 3B and then find out the guy will cost us a pennant or something like that

 

:banghead

Assuming the Sox spend less then 2.5 mill on the utility infielder they sign then the Sox will have roughly 4 million in free room come the deadline and if the Sox are in it, I'm willing to bet JR would up that to 6-7. That may not sound like a lot, but when you consider the Sox would only be picking up the prorated portion, it would be enough to land two good players or one really good player.

When is the trade deadline for the off-season?

Ummmmm, none.

 

Guys get traded to other teams during camp. Rick White was traded from the Dodgers to the Indians, and the Twins traded $1 to the Mariners for Terry Mulholland last year.
