That didn't take long for the offseason to start.

 

Also wouldn't it make more sense to put Teahan at 3rd, move Beckham and Ramirez over, and shop for a bigger bat in RF?

Interesting. I am not surprised to see Fields out the door so quickly, but I am shocked to see Getz gone. Teahen is a nice add for us.

If true it opens the door for a Polanco signing.

On Mike and Mike this morning they were talking about a lot of arbitration players being released from teams. Would Uggla be a possibility for the Sox? I have been a fan of his for awhile but I know that he is seen negatively ever since the All-Star game errors.

If true it opens the door for a Polanco signing.

 

Or a CJ Retheford promotion.

the nix getz debate is now over.

 

 

LMAO, greg is gonna freak out over another royal being on the team

 

 

This could mean that Beckham goes to 2B and Teahen goes back to 3rd

Wow... is this real?

 

 

 

Teahen hits well against us, but against everybody else ...

 

not so much.

 

he doesn't have the profile of a power-hitting corner outfielder. His RBI totals are ultra lite. His walk total are in decline.

 

I would have preferred to keep Getz.

 

Maybe Kenny Williams has his eyes on ... Orlando Hudson, who lost his place in the Dodgers' lineup to Ronnie Belliard.

the nix getz debate is now over.

I think the debate now goes to CJ breaking camp with the team.

WOW

I really liked Chris Getz. Is Mark Teahen the answer in RF field though? Doesnt seem like he has the power numbers to be a significant factor at that position.

f***, I love Getz, he's the type of player that we need, and will kill us for years. Dammit. I liked the trade at Fields.

Damn I really like Getz. KW i will trust in you being I am your biggest fan.

Also keep in mind Teahan was learning second base before Gordon got hurt last year.

I'm not sure about this trade. I know I don't want Teahen to be the answer in the outfield.

 

I guess my Carl Crawford pipe dream is dead for now.

wow, KW doesnt mess around!!

 

I like Teahans versatility, although it seems like his numbers have never lived up the the hype he gets...Dont know if I am excited about him as an everyday right fielder, unless he picks it up.

 

I was a fan of Getz, but I guess it was him or Nix anyway....Fields was gonna go either way

I guess the org thinks alot of CJ, because I'm pretty sure they've seen Nix isnt the answer at 2B.

f***, I love Getz, he's the type of player that we need, and will kill us for years. Dammit. I liked the trade at Fields.

 

This.

 

Teahen's not a bad player, but I don't know if he's the answer at one of the corner OF spots.

If true it opens the door for a Polanco signing.

 

I like this idea.

I think Teahen ends up at 3B, with Beckham moving to 2B.

I really liked Chris Getz. Is Mark Teahen the answer in RF field though? Doesnt seem like he has the power numbers to be a significant factor at that position.

Nor does he have the power numbers for 3B either. I wasn't a fan of Getz or Fields anyways so to me it's not a big deal, but we're going to need to do more than this offensively to be a factor next year.

Huge defensive upgrade in RF over Dye, lost our main stolen base threat and Teahen does bat LH.

where are they going to get the money to sign polanco?

 

bigger issue is fixing the freaking bullpen.
