The Critic Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 03:00 PM) Haeger seems like the leading candidate. Agreed. Although this will make for an interesting spring training, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Even though this trade kina blows for this year. Our rotation could be young, cheap and filthy in the next few years. 1. Danks 2. Gio 3. Floyd 4. Broadway 5. Haeger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phiteinphils Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 This is terrible. McCarthy could very well be an excellent pitcher in a few short seasons. Garland is due a big payday and most likely won't be around for much longer but McCarthy could have been a staple for a long time. If they keep trading for the future, there won't be any future to wait for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 What the hell is KW thinking?!?!?! Looks like we're going to be back to the roulette wheel for our 5th starter again ala 2004. BLAH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigruss Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 2009 rotation Danks Floyd Gonzalez Broadway Haeger (Not Necessarily in that order) That looks pretty solid to me, with guys not making it and other guys unexpectedly coming around, i think we would have a rotation pretty close to this (Floyd prob most likely not to make it tho) Our bullpen will only get stronger until then, as they are all young and good hard throwers basically Kenny set us up for a monster pitching staff, and maybe he believes he can trade some excess pitching that we'll probably have for some good position players LF---- Owens CF--- Anderson RF--- Sweeney SS--- A. Gonzalez (or Robert Valido) 2B--- Pedro Lopez 3B--- Fields 1B--- Rogowski DH--- Konerko not to bad of a lineup there, with only ss and 2b looking weak to me (owens will be better than pods, jsut give him some time, hes actually really athletic and just started focusing on baseball full time a couple of years ago) but this looks like a minnesota lineup to me, and how many WS have they won recently?

Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 04:00 PM) First the important stuff == merry christmas to all. Second, KW has always had a hard on for Danks. I believe we drafted his brother, tried to sign him and lost him to Texas. Third, we know Buehrle is gone if not before the season, then during the season. Danks is left-handed. BMac is not. And, finally, Masset could help in the pen. The question I keep asking is: Danks is a former first rounder, left handed and the top rated pick in the Texas system. Why would the Rangers give up on him.? I thought Hurley was their number 1.

Baines3 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I can't believe this. Bmac was a virtually lock to be a starting pitcher for us, now we trade him to Texas for minor league prospects. Has KW lost his mind?? These prospects we got better turn out pretty good or we'll have one bad pitching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got Danks, Masset and another prospect back. Who's to say we couldn't trade that to Tampa? I would say, talent-wise Danks is valued a little higher, especially since he is a lefty.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) I am actually for this deal for a different reason and its because of some inside stuff I know about the situation. Danks is a studly prospect (definately the caliber of McCarthy, although not as developed so there is a risk with that) and Massett is a very good looking young reliever. So are you saying we should be happy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHAMBARONS Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 Tucson faced both Masset and Danks last year. Danks had 8K's in 5 innings but had to throw many pitches (95 giving up 2 runs). Chris Young led off the game with a ringing triple off the CF wall after that he only gave up three more hits afterwards, but struggled with his command 95 pitches 51 strikes. Masset really struggled in this game he gave up a single to Matt Erickson, struck out Robby Hammock but he reached on a Wild Pitch, Young singled, Hariston singled and Carter blasted a Fastball halfway to St. Louis before being pulled.

greasywheels121 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 KW is prospect-crazed. What the hell? Since when has that been the case? We were always the team to just blow them off, and now that's all we're concerned about. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 23, 2006 -> 03:10 PM) I would say, talent-wise Danks is valued a little higher, especially since he is a lefty. I really enjoy having two of the top five left-handed pitching prospects in our system now, but I'm still very uneasy about 2007 at this point in time.
