May 22, 201015 yr Tonight is the start of a stretch of great baseball - I can just feel it! Let's get that DH, a stud 3B, and a LH reliever and take this division!

May 22, 201015 yr This thread will be about 10X smaller than the unload thread but i like your optimism !
May 22, 201015 yr Author I recommend Jorge Cantu as a possible option. He's a butcher but can hit like no one's business.

May 22, 201015 yr How are we going to trade for said stud players? We don't have many guys with legit trade value.
May 22, 201015 yr Author Ideally, you'd trade for Aramis Ramirez and Adam Dunn. But, Cantu would be cheaper and can play at 3B or 1B if needed. This is mostly a positive thinking thread. I'll leave the "how" of the acquisitions to KW.

May 23, 201015 yr I never thought I would say this... ever... but how nice would it be to have Juan Uribe at third right now?

May 24, 201015 yr I'd take Uribe at third base in a heartbeat...I'd also take him at 2B as well. Yeah, but somehow if he were playing here he'd be hitting .188 with a .229 OBP.
May 24, 201015 yr QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 23, 2010 -> 11:38 AM) I'd take Uribe at third base in a heartbeat...I'd also take him at 2B as well. When we got Teahen, I wanted to have him as a super-sub, and resign Uribe for third.

May 24, 201015 yr QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ May 24, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) I don't think the Marlins would be willing to part with him in the foreseeable future. As far as I can tell, he is a free agent at the end of the year.
May 24, 201015 yr Has anyone heard anything from Joe Crede lately? Good God how cool would it be to have the Joe Crede from 2006 on this team right now... Maybe he'll have a sort of rebirth like Pods did last year. I know it's wishful thinking but oh well...

Good God how cool would it be to have the Joe Crede from 2006 on this team right now... Maybe he'll have a sort of rebirth like Pods did last year. I know it's wishful thinking but oh well... I think he's basically assumed to be out. No one around MLB is even typing his name as an option. Last thing out there including his name was a Gonzalez mailbag from a week ago. I'm not anti-Mark Teahen but he's not the best fielder I've ever seen. Will we see more Jayson Nix? (Is Joe Crede still an option?) David Kuechel, Rio Rico, Ariz. There are plenty of people who agree with your assessment of Teahen. I think it's time to give Jayson Nix more of an opportunity elsewhere. I know he's a reserve, but he's hardly played. Maybe Brooks Boyer can sell t-shirts that read: "Free Jayson." Advertisement I thought Crede would be a mid-season answer in St. Louis, but David Freese is playing well for Tony La Russa's Cardinals.
May 24, 201015 yr Hell, if Joe could hit .200, he would be a massive improvement over our usual two 3Bs right now.
May 24, 201015 yr Man that's sad. I hated to see him in a Twins uniform, but I didn't wanna see the guy completely out of the game.
May 25, 201015 yr I know its early but Teahen doesn't really do it for me. IMO he has already reached his full potential. Giving him that contract extension before he even did anything in a Sox uniform was a mistake.
