In a nutshell, I'd be shocked if Kyle McCulloch is not one of the two.

I'm pretty excited about this team. Can't wait for Sox fest, then spring training, and then opening day.

Just please get us a real dh, kenny. PLEASE

The Dodgers will select two pitching prospects from a list furnished by the White Sox, a source told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The pitchers on the list are all pitchers who could pitch in the big leagues by 2010, the source said.

Yeah, so really the shopping list left is a power bat, and maybe another reliever.

i really do hope we get another bat for the dh. i dont want to go into the season rotaing jones, kotsay, etc.

Coming from you, that means a lot. So good to hear.

As long as its not your 8 million dollars it will be fine!!

 

I really don't like Juan Pierre as a player, but maybe it will work out ok. He never walks and I think he has been misplaced in his career as a leadoff man. I think guys get typecast as leadoff man just because they are fast when they are not suited for that role. Now that I have calmed down from my initial reaction and thought about it more, it has the chance of working out. Just depends on how the rest of it settles in. Still need a big bat in my opinion.

"The pitchers on the list are all pitchers who could pitch in the big leagues by 2010, the source said."

 

 

Okay, then McCulloch and Derek Rodriguez.

Possibly Link, Torres, Santeliz or Santos too

To be honest, I couldn't care less if it's a lefty or not, I just want someone that can hit the ball in the middle of the order. Vlad still makes a ton of sense to me.

Possibly Link, Torres, Santeliz or Santos too

I would have to believe Torres is in the deal.

Santos definitely is possible, he was showcased in the AFL.

There are still options out there. Really Thome, Vlad, and JD are great options right off of the top of my head. You can get more into some other OFs and position players if you do want to make it a rotation position for giving guys a day off here and there.

Maybe the guy from Colorado whose name I can not spell properly.

 

The Dodgers probably have a list of five or six guys to choose from.

I would have to believe Torres is in the deal.

 

As long as Hudson isn't dealt, it wouldn't bother me.

If the Dodgers have already picked them, then why are they considered PTBNL?

I can't remember the rule on that.

Same. Couldn't care less about any of the others.

Neither of those guys have real value. I don't think that's the level of pitcher we are talking about here. I think its more like guys who have higher ceilings than that. I'd go with the list including guys like: Ely, Link, Shirek, Torres, Nunez, Santeliz, Harrell, Omogrosso, Hynick.

 

But NOT Hudson, or Bellamy.

 

I wish we knew who it was though.

 

For $4M/year over two years, and giving up (probably) nothing huge, I like this deal. Pierre is a decent OBP and speed guy, plays OK defense except for an awful arm, and comes cheap. Now, as others have said, we just need a power bat to bolster the DH position, from the left side. I would not be surprised if it was Thome.

God this move sucks. I'd rather have Pods back, and that is awful to say.

Who is that?

Brandon Hynick.

Possibly Link, Torres, Santeliz or Santos too

Forgot about Santos, he is possible as well, to be on the list.

I can't remember the rule on that.

 

Essentially the Sox are giving them time to scout amongst a set number of players to pick two out of. I believe they can't be on the 40 man roster, but I could be wrong on that. I know someone will have better info.

Pretty predictable. I'm certainly not thrilled with this move. But you know what they say: Beggars can't be choosers. The 'ideal' leadoff guy out there for us to somehow acquire simply doesn't exist. If Pierre can sport a .350/.360 OBP, and he BETTER be in LF, I can't complain too much at 8 million over two years. Let's just pray to god Jared Mitchell pans out and is ready for The Show come 2012.

Pods was asking for $7.5 million for two years. Not gonna happen.
