July 28, 200916 yr For minor snippets... Mike Gonzales' Twitter: MDGonzalesSox GM Williams said he was on the phone from 8:30 a.m. till 30 minutes ago, says some dialogue is more like Sr. Prom than 8th grade dance Cowley: cst_sox Fields could be the odd-man out after the game.
July 28, 200916 yr I hope they don't just dump Josh. I think he has some value to a team that can help him with his swing.
July 28, 200916 yr Author MDGonzales: Williams said he spoke to Josh Fields and his agent about Fields' future. Sounds like Fields could be next to go
July 28, 200916 yr My prediction is we're going to see Fields and a big prospect like Hudson sent to Baltimore for Sherrill, and it wouldn't surprise me if KW expands the deal to include someone like Scott or Huff.

July 28, 200916 yr KW, unless it's someone who will be with the Sox for another 2 years after this year, please don't trade Hudson!!

July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:41 PM) I'd be down for this. If it's Fields and Hudson for Sherrill, that would be an awful trade!!
July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 04:14 PM) Not even for a stud who would be a free agent after 2010? Frankly no. It'd be similar to trading McCarthy mid-2004. The only thing that is going to stop Hudson's value from going up over the next year is injury.
July 28, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) If it's Fields and Hudson for Sherrill, that would be an awful trade!! Agreed.
July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:51 PM) I probably make the move if it's Fields and Poreda. At his peak, I think Poreda turns into Sherrill. I would agree with this, as it would also allow you to move Jenks this offseason.
July 28, 200916 yr QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 06:05 PM) thats a decent prediction. . i know baltamore has been interested in Fields in the past. . . Felix Pie!!!! That'll be something for the Dewayne Wise haters.

I would like that deal, but where would Scott or Huff play...? Edited July 29, 200916 yr by chw42
July 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) Felix Pie!!!! That'll be something for the Dewayne Wise haters. I honestly would have no problem with that.
July 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 06:45 PM) If it's Fields and Hudson for Sherrill, that would be an awful trade!! You mention the addition of Luke Scott
July 29, 200916 yr I would have no problem with a Fields for Pie with Wise getting DFA'ed trade. It'd be a failed prospect for failed prospect, but Pie is younger and worst case scenario is that he is a decent bench player (a better version of Wise). However, I'd prefer to get Josh Anderson if the Tigers can't find a trade partner, and then DFA Wise. Then, I'd let Fields go to AAA and hope he rakes to raise his trade value.

I really like Scott, but unfortunately he can't play defense and his value is at an all-time high. As earlier stated though, a Fields and Poreda for Sherrill is very interesting.
July 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 29, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) You mention the addition of Luke Scott Yes, but then the package would have to be much bigger (gay jokes aside)
July 29, 200916 yr QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 11:05 PM) Felix Pie f***ing sucks. He's Brian Anderson without any options. And a s***-load of speed. Pie has so many tools that it’s worth taking a shot at him just to see if he works himself out. Especially, if Dewayne Wise is your only other option.
July 29, 200916 yr usually I'm down for trading prospects, but this season I really hope KW just sits back. I mean in this division they'll still muddle around and contend. There's no reason to mortgage this teams future, especially with Danks, Floyd and MB signed or under control for a few seasons
July 29, 200916 yr George Sherrill is going to cost more than anyone wants to spend on these boards. The Dodgers are rumored to be offering Elbert and Blake Dewitt.

July 29, 200916 yr Fathom’s right. They’re similar packages, Sox might have the edge too given Elbert’s arm struggles.
