After watching Choo for the past two years, its obvious he's a pretty tough out. Not sure how salaries would match up, with arbitration and everything, but with Cleveland clearly out of it for sometime....do you think a White Sox package with Quentin as the headliner could get the job done? I just think Choo's bat and glove would be the perfect complement to the current team.

I'd be all for it.

Except that would be a ridiculously one-sided trade for the Sox. Quentin doesnt have a ton of value at the moment.

Quentin with no value? Please. Let's not undervalue our own people, but I see no reason to even consider a trade of CQ

He has become Andruw Jones but with no fielding ability.

Doesn't Choo have to go home and serve his military commitment?

Somewhere between you two is reality.

 

Quentin would not get it done for Choo, but calling his offense the same as Jones is just silly. And I doubt CLE wants to part with Choo anyway.

 

TCQ is one of the worst RF in the league... Choo is one of the best.

Obviously not Quentin alone.....I would even consider throwing Morel in there as well, considering the year he's had. I really think Choo would balance the offense so well....with both him and rios capable of hitting 25 homers and stealing 25 bases. Lefty, righty as well.

I don't think the Indians would have any interest in TCQ.

The Indians may be bad, but they aren't stupid. That would be an awful trade for them.

Quentin is fragile, inconsistent and getting expensive fast. It's not like no one has noticed his struggles. Most articles i've read blame his exaggerated flyball tendencies for his insanely low BABIP. Right now he has little value, but tantalizing potential.

 

Choo, meanwhile, is a consistent producer in all facets of the game. Decent power, on-base monster, excellent fielder with a rocket arm, even steals a base or 20. Basically he's one of the better RF in the AL.

 

Maybe Q for BJ Upton but even then I think the Rays would want another good piece.

Ya that'd be nice. There's no chance in hell Cleveland would consider such a deal but dreaming is fun.

Choo would have a tough time playing for the Sox while in Korea.

He has become Jermaine Dye.

 

My thought

Doesn't Choo have to go home and serve his military commitment?

Not if he doesn't want to. This is America, the land of the free!

Yeah, that is the case. He can skip his conscription but would never be allowed to step foot on Korean soil again....tough decision to abandon your home like that.

Sure it is, but it's one that pretty much every Cuban playing in MLB makes.

Yeah...but the cost/benefit calculation is somewhat enhanced when you compare spending a lifetime in near-poverty in Cuba with MLB.

I'm not saying that he will or should make that decision, but he does have a choice whether he wants to serve in the Korean military.

That's the risk in the trade and why he may not be as valuable.

 

Choo is a much better player than Quentin. I'd love him in right field.

Its a 2 year commitment, I believe.

Just trade Danks and Quentin to the Mets for Jason Bay + cash.

You're joking, right?

 

It better be Bay and Beltran and a cash subsidy to help pay for them, lol.
