So who do you think is next, and why?

I think when it comes to starters we are done. We might aquire bench depth, but the Sox starting line up is set IMO.

I hope we add a CF, I am not sold on Anderson.

i agree with that for the most part, but I also think we'll go after pierre. If that falls through, we'll sit still.

It just smells too fishy right now to not think Pierre is a main target. Ozzie wants a new 2 hitter with speed, Ozzie is familiar with Pierre, and we just traded our CF. Who knows...

Joey Gathwright?

Personally I just despise the idea of trading for another outfielder when outfield is by far our deepest position in the minor leagues.

 

We have youth there. Youth is cheap. Let's use it.

Hopefully Paul Konerko.

As of right now our offense really isn't that much better than it was last year, but if PK comes back it is significantly better.

That is why I voted "other."

 

I can't point at anyone else in baseball I want now. Other than Pujols of course...but well, ya know...he ain't all that available.

For some reason, I think Brian Anderson will be the starting CFer. But someone else could be moved from the IF.

 

Ozzie still has his sights set on someone for the #2 spot. And probably could leadoff as well

Can they pry Freel away from the Reds, he's the kind of guy Ozzie likes.

Who voted Ichiro? Seattle isn't moving him.

If we don't re-sign Konerko let's trade for Glaus.

Joey Gathwright?

That's a very interesting name.

 

He's inexperienced but he fits the mold of what Guillen likes. Lots of speed.

Joey Gathwright?

The Drays aren't going to trade a speedy outfielder, and a cheap one at that, that they have the rights to for a while.

I agree with you on that. They will sign Konerko by the end of the winter meetings. I'm leaning towards it being a 4yr 52 mill deal with a 5th year option that would be right around the same amount.

I saw Freel, but he has some mega off the field issues and from what I heard they are a lot worse than whats been reported in the media. I think he's a guy that would fit, but also a guy that the Sox will stay away from.

If we don't re-sign Konerko let's trade for Glaus.

If we don't resign Konerko, than I still think Giles at the right price (and for 3 years) makes a lot of sense. He could slide into CF if need be and the Sox can than maybe find a platoon type bat for 1st base (even a guy like Mueller). If the Sox had Giles and Thome in the middle I have zero problem with Mueller playing 1st.

With Thome in the lineup, I think the Sox could afford to lose abit of the pop if they can't resign Paulie and swing a deal with Marte going to Milwaukee for Overbay....Thats who I still think the Sox should use as plan B

Is Overbay available? That would be a steal, but I don't see the Brewers giving him away for Marte, but I guess you never know.

They wouldn't. It would cost way too much to get Overbay. Konerko will be resigned..book it.

you act like we have already signed kong.

I voted for Ichiro just to feel better about losing Aaron. Also Bruce said the Sox are not after Pierre but I know KW will get somebody bcoz Ozzie wanted speed.
