Jimmywins1 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 So if this is true, do you think Bailey goes in as a lock for #4, or is he battling with Marquez, Poreda and Richard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 06:27 PM) My totally inaccurate and spur-of-the-moment Sox starting lineup for 2009 is: 1- Furcal SS 2- Ramirez 2B 3- Quentin LF 4- Thome DH 5- Konerko 1B 6- Abreu RF 7- Fields 3B 8- AJP C 9- Taveras CF That would be a beautiful lineup too, imo. IT would have a nice mix of youth, vets, power, and speed. Plus in a year you can move Abreu to DH if Viceido is ready and slide him into the OF (if Fields has panned out, if Fields hasn't panned out, he takes over 3B and you look to the OF for someone else).

SkokieSox Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 03:30 AM) If the Sox can afford it, I can live with it though I'd rather the Sox move Quentin back to his natural position of RF in hopes that his defense improves from last year. Quentin would no doubt, they wouldn't stick Abreu there over him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 7, 2008 -> 06:31 PM) According to Cowley Jermaine Dye's agent has yet to hear anything about a trade from the Sox and KW isn't talking to the media. I think silence says a lot. I don't think Kenny wants to say anything until it's necessary and right now I believe he's working on something else. It's going to be a real interesting couple days and I think these next few days and this off-season in general (combined with the last two off-seasons) will shape this franchise signifcantly for the next 6-8 years (because I Think the Sox have added so much quality talent in a very short span).

Kalapse Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Oh and as far as Abreu goes: I'd only be interested in signing him if he's willing to accept a 2 year deal, anything longer than that would be a bad contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I see little need for him considering the Sox have two other toolsy 3rd baseman (Mr. Cuban & Fields). However, you can't argue his power numbers and his solid walk totals for a young player and he could be due for his breakout season (last year was a bit of a dissapointment but he still hit 26 bombs, albeit in a hitter friendly park).

caulfield12 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=5904 (Encarnacion's stats) How would we get Encarnacion AND Bailey for Dye? That's crazy. It would have to be Dye and Fields and a lot of money going to Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
