If Williams got Chavez for Mac and Crede, it would be his best move ever, hands down.

 

I may insult Beane regularily, but honestly, I'm worried whenever his name is mentioned in trade discussions.

 

If the trade package you mention above is approved, you wonder what Beane notices in Crede's plate approach which may be corrected. Sure, the long-loopy undercut chop is often cited, but why would Beane accept Crede unless there's the distinct possibility of improvement? With all his popups, it won't exactly be paradise in Oakland's large foul grounds. Remember, Boras is his agent as well. Not very attractive if you consider the raise he'll likely receive next season.

 

And McCarthy? That's a huge mistake right there. At this juncture, I wouldn't trade him for anyone short of a legitimate ace. SSI posted earlier a similar concern of mine relating to Duque/Contreras leaving the team in 2007. It would be beneficial to have a cheap starter fill in for a roster spot. Whether he's the savior or not for this organization, even at his current pitching potential, McCarthy will provide us with a dirt-cheap 4th/5th starter. With the numerous starter spots open for 2007, his price will be well appreciated when money is used to fill other positions.

With a .218 average he would feel right at home in the heart of the White Sox line-up.

So you wouldnt trade for Chavez because of the future possibility of having a cheap 5th starter in 2007???? So you are willing to not make THIS team the best it can be because of the future possibility of needing another pitcher....As for me, I think the time is now, this is the best start I have ever seen, and the best we may ever see. I know KW feels the same way about this that I do, I want the title now!! And even if you dont feel that way, the Chavez trade will pay off for us in the next few years anyway especially with the stockpiling of arms we have in our system. If you are so worried about 2007, that would be two years from now, thats exactly the amount of time it look BMAC to come up through the ranks, who says that Gio or Ray wont as well. As for fixing Crede's swing---uh unless Beane has a magic wand up his ass, nothing is going to work.

What would we do with Mark Ellis? Is there a third team that we haven't thought of?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I agree, but I can't see that happening. It would cost a lot more, and I'm just not comfortable with paying Chavez $11+ million per year.

If some of you guys want the Sox to acquire fat contracts, how about Abreu?

 

I imagine it's just as likely for him to be traded to the Sox as is a trade of Chavez for just Crede and McCarthy.
