We pretty much have nothing in AAA to protect us.

Since this injury has never happened to a pitcher before, and all.
November 16, 201015 yr Uggla is about to be traded to Braves for Omar Infante and Mike Dunn. Doesn't seem like that great of a deal for Uggla who is coming off the best year of his career. Despite being 30 and not a good defender, I figured he would net more than this. I guess not though. I wonder if this impacts the Braves going for Upton or not.

November 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 05:34 PM) Hes a DH waiting to happen. His fielding is bad, but it's not Carlos Quentin bad. -10 average UZR, but still 5th overall in baseball in WAR for a 2b. His bat is so good that if he was "average" defensively, he'd be right there with Cano for WAR out of the 2b spot.
November 16, 201015 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 03:36 PM) I would say that Arizona would be looking at Danks/Floyd, Sale (when he actually becomes eligible to be traded, which is not until like January), Viciedo, and Morel (because, while both are solid prospects, neither are good enough prospects to be worth it). Upton is a phenomenal talent, but he is not worth that, and I don't think the Sox need to be involved on this. They are just simply not in a position to be giving up whatever minor league depth that they have for a player who is still a bit of a project. You're smokin' dope or somethin'. I'd give up ANYTHING for Justin Upton. My mom, dad, cousins, whatever. If what it took was one of Danks/Floyd, Viciedo and Morel then it's a wrap for me. Justin Upton is a unique talent that hasn't even sniffed his prime.

You're going to give up Danks, Sale, Viciedo and Morel for Upton? Yeesh. I like Justin Upton as much as the next guy but trading that much talent for one guy is just too damn much imo.

Well I'd definitely give up one of Danks/Sale, Viciedo and Morel for Upton and another piece.

I don't think the Sox could trade Sale now even if they wanted to. And if AZ wanted him as a PTBNL, they certainly wouldn't want him pitching for the White Sox risking injury before he was eligible to be dealt. I'm also against trading Danks. Morel may be OK eventually but he's easily and cheaply replaceable for the immediate future. Viciedo doesn't seem to be the manager's favorite guy. I really doubt they trade Upton, although his contract does call for a decent sum of money. I wouldn't be shocked if KW goes after his brother. He's been after him before and his price has probably never been lower.
November 17, 201015 yr Author I have no problem with Williams atleast investigating the possibility of Upton, but with the offers teams may be willing to put together for him, the only hope you would have is that Towers views Danks as an elite starter, and you then have to hope that Towers views 2 years of Danks in a similar light to 5 years of Upton, or that he has confidence they can resign Danks. That is the one big advantage the White Sox would have, and while it's not exactly filling a hole and creating another, it still doesn't address a lot of the issues the Sox would potentially have with the 2011 club. I don't think Upton will go anywhere. I think Towers will ask for a package far too expensive for any team to be able to pay.
November 17, 201015 yr Danks D2 Infante Escobar Flowers? Any value for him still? And yes, I know Infante or Flowers becomes Santos or Viciedo in the real world. Edited November 17, 201015 yr by Quinarvy

Let's hope he performs about as well as Linebrink for the Tigers. It's possible that the rotator cuff surgery helped him pitch so well and last year wasn't a fluke. But given his career numbers before that, I would question that deal. Its the largest contract for a non-closer reliever since Mr. Linebrink.
November 17, 201015 yr Tigers have a chance to be really good next year if they use their money wisely the next few months. That's a big if though.
