Overbay? Although he is supposedly off the market...

 

He never was on the market. Brewers would be foolish to trade him now. They'd get a lot more value for him if they trade him in the offseason, when more teams are looking to upgrade at 1b. PK will be the class of the FA 1b market....and after that, it's awful. Overbay will be in high demand.

That is true. But some seem to think he always was and STILL is on the market? Either way, they will get a lot for him when they are ready to deal him. That guy has talent!

Brewers still have an outside chance at the WC. I believe they're only 6.5 games out right now. Overbay is the fan favorite there also. He's not going anywhere, and I wouldn't be shocked if he's there for a few more years (I know they've discussed the outfield with him, I think he might be too slow though).

Thats why getting Huff NOW makes the trade that much more important.

i'm slowly starting to warm up to huff.

Couldn't agree more. I think it's obvious PK is gone after this year. Thus, it's either Huff at 1b, or probably moving Dye to 1b. I'd be pretty content with both.

Well, if he's dealt you'll have to be warm enough by tomorrow.

If KW can pull off a trade with TB its going to be a miracle. I like Huff, and the White Sox could really use him. I hope KW stays away from Baez, although he would give the Sox a Manny Trillo of Cubans. If the price for Guardado is a prospect, screw Baez, get Guardado and throw a few guys back to TB for Huff. That should be enough to win the division, and get some home field advantage at least in the first round.

I don't care what his numbers say.....he's one of the best hitters in the AL. He typically racks up a ton of extra base hits, and I've seen him get a lot of hits against very good pitchers (especially J. Santana). He's be the best lefty hitter we've had in a long time.

guess it's just my ignorance and my complete non interest in tampa bay.

Just so I'm on the record: I'd rather just trade for Huff, and not get Baez. However, I'm sure Tampa will make a team take both guys, so they can get more prospects.

Earlier I suggested the Sox get Lugo in the trade if they have to give up so much for Baez and Huff. I didn't really see that happening, it was more of my way of saying go for it all this year and heck with prospects.

620 WDAE Devil Rays rumors

 

The Devil Rays were reportedly in line to be giving up all three of their most coveted trade commodities in one fell swoop. ESPN reported Saturday that along with Huff and Baez, Julio Lugo was now involved in the big three-way possible deal.

julio lugo?

i like, a good utility infielder we've been wanting off the bench

And if Timo gets out of line, he can beat the s*** out of him and slam his head into a car.

Too be honest the only time I have really seen Huff play is against us, and he killed us. I like the guy.

let's get sweeney and thome then since we're getting sox killers on board.

Time for bed kids, Tony has an early morning of breakfest with the Gf, then off to Bears camp, then ordering my Huff jersey in road grey.

 

Sleep well Sox Fans.

goodnight moon

BTW, the Cubs are reportedly interested in Huff and Baez.

let's let KW and Hendry duke it out in millenium park at high noon for 'em.

 

Okay, that's enough sillyness, i'm out

Lugo can hit. avg .298 obp .354 slg .392 with 30 sb. I don't know how well he can handle the bat, but he sounds better than Willie or Ozuna.

Where'd this come from???

Well it talks abut a 3 way deal in that little article with the mets. So baez would be going to the mets obviously and I'd assume Huff and Lugo here, interesting to say the least.

Nothing like leaving the Sawks out in the cold.

It's been reported at nausium for the past 24 hours that both the Sox and Cubs are hot for Huff.

I have it on good authority that McCarthy will be playing at the home field of the Durham Bulls this coming week (Tampa's AAA team).
