I really think Teahan is on the infield somewhere in 2010. Probably 3B. I think we're going to acquire a new OF.

 

I think it's a done deal.

well, if it is...

This is a Retherford move, not a Nix move. If Retherford hits at all in spring, which he will be invited too, he has the job. I do, however, think that Teahen will gets some reps at 2b.

I like this move quite a bit actually. Teahen is essentially a mega-utility player who scouts used to peg as the next Jason Giambi. He's not going to reach that, but he kills us. He kills in the Cell. Fields has no future here.

He particularly killed Buehrle (24-53, .453). Mark has to a happy camper.

Didn't Teahen have a good year when he played 3B everyday? Seems it's been downhill for him ever since they gave Gordon his position, bouncing him all around the field. Am I remembering this right?

 

I like our Gordon at 3B, period. I just don't get it; why are we adding 4+ million for Teahen when he doesn't have an everyday position here. We need a press conference.

Trading for the sake of trading doesn't excite me.

Trust me it isn't. This opens all sorts of doors. I love Nix, but this organization doesn't. This really does increase the chances of more moves.

I'm not a fan of this move at all. Getz was awesome, and only gonna get better this year. Can't it be Nix and Fields?

Getz was far from "awesome". Chase Utley is an awesome 2nd baseman.

Who's going to be the stolen base threat now?

Beckham is good for 15.

Nix is good for 15

Rios can give you 25.

Missle could land you about 20.

Pods will get caught half the time, but manage in the upper 20's.

Other sites like ESPN and Sporting News are reporting this now, but citing NY Daily.

 

Guess we should wait until it is reported on the White Sox homepage.

 

I was never really a Getz fan but it does seem like it is too soon to give up on him, but like others said I think this would open the door for other moves.

This move makes Beckham available if they deem that CJ and Nix can play second. Just saying.

 

Teahan is fast enough as he is not a clogger. I think the Sox realized this season that the speed thing will not work at the cell. They need guys that can run the bases and have some power.

 

This also adds a guy that can play multiple positions like Kotsay.

 

This team needs subtle moves this offseason nothing major and I think they will be one of hte best teams in baseball.

 

 

w sox decline to confirm if true according to bruce levine.

Wait...what?

 

Do people still not get that Beckham is the face of the franchise the next 10-15 years?

Beckham is not being moved guys.

This is a Retherford move, not a Nix move. If Retherford hits at all in spring, which he will be invited too, he has the job. I do, however, think that Teahen will gets some reps at 2b.

Pff, Retherford has Danny Richar written all over him. You can all slob him and say he's the next great thing, and I'll sit here and tell you that just breaking out at 24 in a fall league is a sign that he's getting lucky and he will suck.

 

Then he'll hit .200 or so and look like crap but people will still refuse to believe.

 

Then he will finally, a year later, be given away and fade to no man's land.

Available for what?

 

I 2nd this motion.

What is all this love about CJ? I particularly don't think much of him, if anything a role player off the bench of some sort. The minor league player love gets to be a tad ridiculous sometimes. Until they prove something I certainly don't want us plugging them into the lineup to start the season.

LOL, not really. Just sayin

I'm confused as well. Available for the ladies?? We already know that.

If the White Sox plan on competing, they don't go into Spring Training with Retherford being the plan at 2B, and I don't think you can count on Teahen to do anything other than be a mega-utility player if he is indeed acquired.

 

You sign Hudson/Polanco for 2B or Beltre for 3B and move Beckham accordingly.

I don't get how people take such issue over the Retherford love, a guy who gets on-base and hit's for extra-bases and an impressive rate, but are pining so badly for Getz, a guy who i never saw doing either thing very well.

We need to go for it this year, and this isn't a big enough move IMO. Now we have a hole in the infield that we didn't have yesterday, with nothing really gained, except for a lower ERA for Buehrle
