Well, if what Mark Gonzales said in that interview was correct, we just ran off another guy who caused a disturbance in the clubhouse. Teahen isn't anything special besides for being a great base runner.

I think this makes the infield: Teahen, Ramirez, Beckham, Konerko, not the outfield: Q!, Rios, Teahen.

Why is power such a big make up for not being able to hit the ball? He has alot of flaws at the plate and if he's on an island and not surrounded by a bunch of other power/k guys then maybe there is an argument. However, with the current makeup of the Sox, Getz is a much better fit, not only for SB's, but for contact rate and extending rally's to make other pitchers get more work. The good news is that Nix wont start anyway and he'll be mostly a sunday player.

Power makes up for a lot because Nix scored himself 10 more times with one swing of the bat in about 120 less PAs than Getz.

 

I think you have a legit argument about what the White Sox need in guys who take pitches etc, but I'm not sure Getz is necessarily a large or small piece of that answer. Like I said, it's early and it's KW, to me this move is kind of a push and a positive if Teahen goes to 3b, because the Sox magically have an elite 2b

If we've learned anything about Kenny Williams it's that he's a very non aggressive gm. He probably wont make any other moves this offseason so it's definitely time to freak out.

 

Wait, what?

 

Word.

Overreaction of the year.

Bingo.

hahaha, really? Because the Sox loss Getz and Fields and replaced them with a servicable MLB player?

Give up the 100 losses crap. Unless about three pitchers on the Sox starting staff under go group Tommy John surgery, it ain't happenin. Save the drama.

The top 4 in our rotation will come close to 60 wins by themselves.

.779, .691, .754

 

 

How about now?

 

Are you using 2009 only? Just curious. And no.

I don't mind an outfield of Quentin/Rios/Teahen as long as we can get a solid DH for cheap.

Everybody who has reported on this story has mentioned Teahen to RF. That is why we are freaking out.

BTW though I hate this move in a vaccuum, if they move salary somewhere else it might not be a big deal. None of the players in this trade are world beaters and Teahan has the best track record of those involved.

We just did today! Mark Kotsay!

Until I hear Ozzie or Kenny say that, I'm not believing it.

Like I said earlier, until I see Ozzie actually running that line up out there, I don't believe it.

Seriously, you would have thought we just traded Danks and Beckham for Teahen judging by the reaction in this thread. Fields obviously was done with the organization, and Getz, as I've said all along, was never going to be more than a #8 or 9 hitter.

Think about the other guy in this deal, Josh Fields.

Josh Fields still has more potential than Jayson Nix.

I saw that, not too happy with it but that's not a big deal considering everything else today.

Until I hear Ozzie or Kenny say that, I'm not believing it.

and Ozzie can't say it until KW tells him he's done making moves in the offseason

Josh Fields still has more potential than Jayson Nix.

 

He still has to learn to either hit or catch a baseball first.

Josh Fields still has more potential than Jayson Nix.

 

Disagree, as at least Nix is a great base runner and superior fielder. Both have the potential to hit for above average power with a low batting average. I would be shocked if Fields is even in the majors 3 years from now.

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.

He didn't just emerge. Retherford might not be a top 30 prospect, but he's raked at every level.

Josh Fields still has more potential than Jayson Nix.

until he learns to deal with a MLB fastball again, Fields has very little to zero potential
