May 24, 200322 yr Some one mentioned earlier last week that Sox scouts were at the BOB in Arizona. This doesn't really mean anything, but if the Sox were to pull off a trade with the D'Backs I'd like to see the Sox get Lyle Overbay, who's salary right now is only $300,000. He's left handed, has power and could easily replace Konerko at first. With that said here's Overbay's stats so far this year: 115 AB's .278 3 HR 13 RBI and 16 BB. Another guy I'd like to have is a young pitcher on their club named Brandon Webb In 6 games started he's 2-1 with an E.R.A. of 2.14 and has 35 K's in 42 innings pitched. Not sure what the D'Backs would want back, maybe Konerko? Last time I checked I thought they were thinking about dumping some salary, anyone have anything to say about this? CWSOX45 Someone mentioned Steve Finley. I'd package up some players for Finley and Miguel Batista in a heartbeat. Kill 3 birds with 2 stones(LH power, CFer, more starting pitching). If we could somehow talk a team like Baltimore into taking Konerko, that would be great. The Dbacks would give Finley away for nothing as long as you paid his salary. As far as Miguel Bastista, I don't think he's that good of a pitcher and I believe we have a better answer in Jon Rauch or even Josh Stewart.

I like Batista because of what I saw in the 2001 World Series. IMO...he's a solid #4 or #5 starter. Either him or John Patterson.

In that case I'd rather just have some prospects. CWSOX45

If I could take one pitcher on the D'Backs excluding Johnson and Schilling I'd take Brandon Webb. This kid has excellent stuff. Patterson would be good too, but the D-Back's won't deal either of them unless we can give them something good in return........which we can't. CWSOX45
