I really hope its A-Gon!!!

How much value would Q! have right now?

His value would be good, but not super high given that he had an injury riddled 2009 campaign. But package Q with other guys and you should be able to get a budding star.

We both know the Dodgers are in total chaos, but I can't see them trading Ethier - I think their fanbase would revolt.

 

You ain't lyin'. I frequent Dodgerblues.com every now and then and Ethier is their Beckham, along with Clayton Kershaw. Man, the things I would do to see Kershaw in a White Sox uni. Seriously, his curveball makes me want to...nevermind. Too graphic.

I've got to be honest, I think we are looking at a trade, and I honestly think we are giving up an impact player. I really think KW is shopping Quentin.

 

It's an interesting notion, but isn't that Filling a Hole by Creating a Hole? I don't like TCQ's injury history, but that would still leave no real DH.

Do you think patience just means waiting some of these free agents out and hope the price comes down? I ws surprised that we might pick up maybe a half of Pierre's bloated salary. Plus after the deal some site I read was specualting that Andruw Jones was the full-time DH now. I doubt that is going to happen.

Jones was never told he was the full-time DH. In fact its been made very obvious to him that he can compete and get at bats if he shows up and kicks ass (just like any player would), but that he won't be the primary DH.

 

I'm very thankful of that. Obviously things can change, but it would be a massive mistake to rely on Jones as our full-time DH. In fact, it would be a complete disaster.

Would you do Quentin + Flowers + Danks2 + throw in for A Gonzalez?

 

Your outfield is Pierre, Rios, Jones/Kotsay, and Paulie is the DH.

Ya, Kershaw and Ethier are studs. There is also Kemp and Loney, both of whom are pretty damn solid too.

I think we are committed to Quentin in the Sox OF. He has too much upside. I also forgot that besides the DH we still need a back up catcher. So is KW looking trade or free agent?

I still think the PK to Angels trade for one top minor league prospect, which we can then use with some of our prospects for Gonzo makes a lot of sense.

 

Personally, I'm an average guy. If you hit 30hr and have a .240 BA, you're worthless to me.

Well, that's all sorts of flawed.

I'm over the A-Gon thing.

I think that would way to much,even for Gonzalez. If he's using Quentin, i would think Quentin and Hudson should be enough. SD would ask for more but the most i would add to that is a lower rated prospect,maybe Retherford.

Flowers or Mike Redmond will be the guy. Ozzie loves Redmond and I think they will ultimately go that route. Redmond is very good defensively and is very familiar with the division.

Isn't Boston in great shape to get Gonzalez now since they signed Lackey and Cameron?

Can he be a back-up first baseman also?

Yep, they can offer up the moon for Gonzalez.

If there's any team that will have to pay an absolute full premium to get Gonzalez, it'd be Boston. Hoyer obviously knows everything about the Boston system and would demand the best. He knows who is all hype and who can cut it. He's not going to bend over for his old team. And if he did, he'd probably be accused of collusion. I don't think they can pull it off without giving up Westmoreland, Kelley, and Buchholz as a start.

yea. . i can see Boston going after him hard now.

Your outfield is Pierre, Rios, Jones/Kotsay, and Paulie is the DH.

 

I'm not even sure I'd want to trade Danks for two years of Gonzalez, much less Quentin and a top prospect as well.

 

Plus, with the Padres rebuilding, they'd probably be more interested in Hudson. Hudson and Flowers for Gonzalez would make more sense.

Their farm... is much, much better and I'm not even counting Buchholz.

We're trying to upgrade the offense. Adding Gonzalez while subtracting CQ and giving more PT to Jones and Kotsay is a lateral move.

I am pretty sure the original poster meant Jordan Danks, not John Danks. Or are you that high on the younger brother OF prospect.

They've totally debunked the myth that you can't contend every year AND have a strong farm.

Yes, indeed I meant Jordan Danks, apologize for confusion.

 

I think bottom line is if you really trade away Quentin all you are getting in return is equal offense, which would make it a lateral move.

Except A-gon is a MUCH better hitter than Quentin at this point.
