January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) As I said before, he's a serious headcase. He's still young and has a lot of time to work out the kinks, but he really needs to get his s*** together. I worked for the Bees out in SLC last summer and got to see a lot of Adenhart. Definitely talented, but was never able to stop big innings from happening. He was also terrible after coming back down from his brief major league stint. And none of this matters because the people in that organization are in love him with. I'd be shocked if they gave him up in a deal for another OF. Was there anyone else on the Bees who caught your eye Felix FWIW?
January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:23 AM) I'd do Dye for Adenhart (if he passes the physical) and Wood. Not too hot for Figgins though There is absolutely no way they would ever do that. QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 11:36 AM) Was there anyone else on the Bees who caught your eye Felix FWIW? Jason Bulger had absolutely nasty stuff out of the pen. He had some ridiculous K/9 rates and gave up hardly anything the entire time I was there. Matt Brown and Freddy Sandoval were pretty solid hitters, but neither had much of a glove and didn't seem like they'd project as major league hitters. Kendry Morales was also pretty good, but I didn't really get to see him too much (he was hurt for awhile, and I was also working with the other teams in the area). The little I did see indicated that he didn't have much of a glove, either. I'm not a scout though, so what do I know? Edited January 13, 200917 yr by Felix
January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (Felix @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) There is absolutely no way they would ever do that. Never said they would, but i'd take it. I don't credit the Angels with an abundance of brains, but yes trading their best pitching and hitting prospects for an aging RF is unlikley.
January 13, 200917 yr I hope this is only rumor. I am so tired of all these rumors involving Jermaine Dye.
January 13, 200917 yr It's so nice to see we can be the new supplier of talent to the Angels so they can win pennants

January 13, 200917 yr Mark my words...Jermaine Dye will be the starting right fielder for the Whitesox in 2009!

January 13, 200917 yr Author from SI : • The White Sox have been asking teams for top pitching prospects for Dye but aren't necessarily insisting that those prospects be within a year of the big leagues, as teams often do when they dangle stars. But no one has bitten yet. The Chicago Sun-Times reported the Angels could now be in the mix for Dye.

January 13, 200917 yr I dont know whats going to happen... First it was Brian Roberts then it was Michael Young, and now its Chone Figgins.... Will the real Sox leadoff hitter please stand up?
January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) I'd rather have Michael Young out of those 3. Even though he's: 1.) not a leadoff hitter 2.) not even close to the best player of the 3 3.) far and away the most expensive 4.) the oldest 5.) the biggest risk of the 3 to struggle away from his former home ballpark 6.) on the decline The only thing he has going for him is his ability to play SS and thus not block Beckham (if he needs to be moved from short) or Viciedo.

January 13, 200917 yr Why would the Angels want Dye over Konerko? They need a 1B more than another corner OF.
January 13, 200917 yr QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 13, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) Why would the Angels want Dye over Konerko? They need a 1B more than another corner OF. Seriously...look at the Angels roster the last few years and count the OF's. If they have under 5 starters they seem to panic and find someone to sign for a ridiculous contract.

January 14, 200917 yr WEDNESDAY: Bill Shaikin talked to Angels GM Tony Reagins, who shot down Cowley's Dye rumor. Reagins said, "No truth to that rumor." Reagins apparently hasn't talked to the White Sox for a while, though Shaikin's source indicated the Angels did express interest in Dye before they re-signed Juan Rivera. mlbtraderumors.com

Talk about flimsy. Still, the Angels and White Sox do have plenty of history. Dye does make sense for the Angels, and Chone Figgins has been mentioned as a possibility for the White Sox since practically the day he entered the league. Its not the first time the pot has called the kettle black. I'm sure it won't be his last either. Cowley is the epitome of a hack.
