BearSox Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 We need a RF. Quentin looks like he hurts himself running now. He is just too injury prone, and not that good defensively in the first place to be out there everyday, and he would greatly benefit from being a full time DH. Now, the question is, who do we bring in to play RF? Jayson Werth and Corey Hart are the two biggest names out there, but both would cost A LOT to get and each have their own concerns. What about any other names that could be intriguing? Discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 We need a left handed bat, preferably one who could play the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naw, Kalapse won't be convinced until "Quentin tears an ACL or something" to be declared injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 19, 2010 Author Share Posted July 19, 2010 While it would be preferred to add a Left handed bat, that idea is overrated. We need a bat than actually has extra base ability and can be a threat, regardless of which side of the plate they hit on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF DeJesus 2B Beckham CF Rios 1B Konerko DH Quentin C Pierzynski SS Ramirez 3B Vizquel/Viciedo/Teahen LF Pierre That's a pretty good lineup from 1-5. Pierre would make a hell of a #9 hitter.

spiderman Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 D.DeJesus News: Link The Royals are reportedly listening to offers for OF David DeJesus. It's a weak trade deadline to some degree so a player like DeJesus, who does a lot of things well and nothing outstanding, is drawing some attention. The Royals recognize this and that's why their asking price for DeJesus is "silly", one front office exec told Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports. Kansas City knows that, and its asking price, one interested front-office type said, is “silly.” The Royals want a major league-ready prospect, along with at least one midlevel prospect or a pair of lower-level players. Perhaps it’s not so silly when considering the options Kansas City holds on DeJesus. The Royals can pick up an affordable $6 million option and dangle him again in the offseason or next trade deadline. They can decline the option, offer him arbitration and take a couple draft picks. They can pick up the option, hold on to DeJesus and hope their farm system – quickly becoming the best in all of baseball – starts spitting out enough next year to patch together a contender. As I've said before, the Royals are willing to wait until they get an offer that pleases them. If they don't trade him, then they get a solid player relatively cheap through 2011. Or, as Passan suggests, they can dangle him again. It's a win-win situation. J.Soria News: Link The Royals haven't given any indication they wouldn't part with him if the right deal came along. According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Yankees "would love" to have Soria. Two players Yankees would love to have: Dunn, Soria. Nationals' price on Dunn exorbitant. Royals would need to be overwhelmed. Just because they apparently covet him doesn't mean they'll get him, as MLB Trade Rumors explains. The Royals would need to be "overwhelmed" to part with Soria, who makes $3MM this season and is under team control through 2014. He has 25 saves already and has posted 11.1 K/9 this season, which makes him one of the more appealing relievers available. The Yankees have had inconsistent performances from righties Joba Chamberlain, Chan Ho Park and David Robertson, which no doubt contributes to their interest in Soria.

shipps Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Its pretty funny how the Royals are so willing it seems to deal with an inner division rival such as the Sox.

caulfield12 Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 The problem here is that the Royals are going to ask for Beckham for DeJesus. And that will be the end of the conversation.

That'd be fine by the Royals. They're not in a hurry to trade DeJesus and Soria within the division, and there will be plenty of other teams that will lineup for those two, especially considering their contract situations ($4.7 mill in '10, $6 mill team option next year for DeJesus; $3 mill in '10, $4 mill in '11, $6 mill team option in '12, $8 mill team option in '13, $8.75 mill team option in '14 for Soria).
