I was listening to the MLB channel on XM this morning and one of the updates was talking about info that has come out of the winter meetings so far. They said the rumored Garcia/Crede deal to the angels the sox were after John Lackey not Ervin Santana and that was probably the reasion if fell apart. Interesting.

I dont see the Angels trading Lackey. He's good and he's sgined cheaply

Roto:

 

The White Sox are reportedly asking for John Lackey from the Angels for Joe Crede.

 

They're not going to get Ervin Santana for him, and it's highly unlikely that Lackey would go in any deal. Crede's turned into a very good regular, but since he's just two years away from free agency, he's not worth either pitcher.

Wow, kudos to Kenny for aiming high.

I'd prefer Santana out of the 2.

Big John Lackey is better than Santana.

 

Out of the 2 I would like Lackey. Now I would take either, however.

Wow, while that move clearly favors the Sox, the Angels really need some more offense. I would love to see this happen.

No wonder they didn't go for it. Lackey is their best combination of consistency, experience, and health.

 

I find it odd that the Angels have been offering Santana as trade bait, but teams like TB and (apprently) the Sox seem hesitant to deal for him. Maybe there's something about him that we don't know.

Well to be fair, anytime anyone deals with TB there is a big AND when you start talking about prospects.

 

 

I want CC

 

Well give us Santana AND 2 high stud prospects, and 1 lower prospect.

Yeah, TB's asking prices are insane, even in a market where J.D. Freaking Drew gets $70 million.

Wow...thats what I'm talking about...aim high and than settle for Santana (which is still high).

 

But god to get someone like Lackey...I'd be stoked. The guy is a total horse and would definately fit into our rotation most awesomely.

KW is awesome! Still wanting his '6' starting pitchers, not 5! KW wants his security in case of injury and i dont blaim him. No other teams can even dream of having a 6 starter cushion. Whatever Kenny does in the next few days, if anything, i trust that it will make our team better.

Man lackey would fit good into this rotation nicely. But I would still love Santana, and then flip him or BMAC for a positional stud. Im getting to the point that Haeger is our 6th starter in case of an injury.

I was feeling pretty good going into 2006 with a sixth starter (Bmac) but why, when it came time they needed the insurance, they went back to the minor leagues for the replacement?

 

I love the position of power a sixth starter gives KW, but it is beginning to seem like once the season is underway the team is unable to leverage the talent, and that the sum of the parts winds up being greater then the whole.

Lol! He's not worth either pitcher? You would assume if someone were to acquire Crede it would be because they would want to keep him after 2 years.
