If the White Sox could pitch an offer to the Yankees (and of course the Yankees would pick up a MEATY portion of his contract) what level would that pitch need to be in?

 

And, is A-Rod a player worth having?

And, is A-Rod a player worth having?

Yes. As for what it would take to get him, I have no clue.

Would they want Fields?

 

(Assuming we can sign Crede)

They ARE desperate for pitching, and the Sox DO have an extra starter to deal...

I would guess they'd ask for Crede.

Yes. As for what it would take to get him, I have no clue.

 

NY is only payiong 9 million of ARods salary. If a trade happened and part of the deal was NY paying 4 mil of that, we could have Alex Rodruigez for about 5 or 6 mil a year.

I would guess they'd ask for Crede.

 

 

But I want Crede.

the yanks are going to have to eat so much of that contract to get rid of him.

 

and i think they will this offseason.

Question is, if the Yanks didnt want Crede, would KW want to move Arod back to SS? JR did make a play for Arod before he signed with Texas. If KW wants it, there seems to be a pretty good match here.

Crede, Garcia and Broadway?

ARod would mash at the Cell...

Hypothetical lineup (dream a little dream.)

 

Coco Crisp

Gooch

Dye

Thome

PK

Arod

AJ

Crede

Anderson/Sweeney

 

Contreras

Buerhle

Garland

McCarthy

Vasquez

 

Garcia/Fields/and midlevel pitching spec for ARod

We just take Crisp when the Red Sox aren't looking.

Maybe we could live with Pierre with the rest of the lineup as so...

Crede, Garcia and Broadway?

Fields, Garcia, Broadway, and another prospect, you have a deal in my book!

He's a player that warrants that kind of talk. I'm sorry but I'm just drooling over the possibility of Arod on this team and imo it's not a pipe dream at all.

I know I'm not the biggest sox know it all, but why crede? I know the Yanks would love him, but seems like the sox or angels would holding the cards in this one. my guess would be high level prospects to retool the yanks system and vasquez.

Does that really matter though? Boras is already paid for this client for quite some time, it isnt as if he will be asking for a raise anytime soon(ha, a raise from 25 million a year). I dont know if Boras prevents clients from being traded to the White Sox, he just prevents them from signing or re-signing with the White Sox.

 

And this isnt me saying I want A-rod, because I have honestly become disillusioned with A-rod in the past 2 years. Especially in the playoffs

Of course...if you look around, I started, or at least I think I did, the talk about ARod a few days ago. He'd be a great fit for this team, to be honest.

Yep, I'm sure the Yankees would love to have Vazquez back. Maybe we could sign David Wells then to take his place.

Garcia, Fields, Crede and Broadway for ARod, Matsui and 20mil would be great.

 

Yanks don't need Matsui, they have Sheffield and Abreu.

I'd offer them Crede and Garcia to start the negotiations.

 

If you acquire A-Rod, get him to play 3B for 2007, and then SS for the years ahead, when Uribe's contract is done and Fields is definitely ready to play 3B. I'd get him more seasoning down at AAA.

 

Garcia, Fields, Crede and Broadway for ARod, Matsui and 20mil would be great.

I doubt Sheffield will be back next season, think his contract is up, not sure if they have an option on him or not though.

Why would the Yankees want Vazquez back? He sucked there. He sucked in Arizona and he sucked here. The Yankees have had a big problem bringing in high priced pitchers that suck ... and then some that don't even play.

He's gonna be the fall guy for this years playoff choke. It aint gonna cost that much-how long is he signed for?

The Yankee fans are ready to ride A-Rod out of town on a rail. But I can't believe Yankee management is going to be willing to part with him.

 

In 2006, he had an off season, and still had a .914 OPS. The year before, he was third in baseball in OPS.

 

If I were the Sox, I'd make an offer -- Garcia, Fields, Broadway sounds about right (I don't suppose they would have any use for Uribe, would they?) -- but I wouldn't hold my breath. The Yankees would probably want Buehrle, and as bad as he was this year for us, there's no way I would ship him off to NY.

 

So, fantasize all you want. It's the offseason for us (and the Yankees). But don't expect A-Rod to get moved anytime soon.

A rod will be dealt. The Angels will have the pieces to get him. The sox should go after Orlando Cabrera. Parting with Crede for Arod fills one hole and leaves a gaping one at 3B. Fields isn't ready for 162 games in the pros for a playoff contender.

The sox should go after Orlando Cabrera.
