December 2, 201015 yr If we can get Dunn at 3 years $40 million, I'd be pretty happy. You might not be getting as good of defense at 1B compared to PK, but the offensive production should make up for it. Ideally, I'd like to have both, but I don't think that's a very real scenario at this point. Edited December 2, 201015 yr by chw42
December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) DLee is done. Done how? Check out his stats after he left the Cubs
December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Eh, he was pretty damn solid after the AS break last season. Add that to his + glove and if you can get him at some sort of a discount, he'd be a very nice signing. He had a nice 2009 season. He played hurt last year, and should be fairly cheap. He knows the city and Ozzie from the Marlin days. It makes so much sense it probably won't happen.
December 2, 201015 yr i'd love to see both PK and Dunn in there, taking turns at DH/1B, power left and right.

December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Rios Dunn Lee Then you have Quentin after that who's at least good for a .350 wOBA. Now if only he can not play RF...
December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:54 PM) Derrek Lee would be great as as #5 hitter in this lineup. And improve our IF defense. He also has a good relationship with KW and Oz

December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:56 PM) I like it. But he comes with a TON of GIDPs He'll fit right in then.
December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 02:41 PM) The only thing I've heard is Sox are desperate to try and get Dunn to make a decision before Angels are done chasing Crawford and Soriano. Everything still points to Konerko going elsewhere though. If you can get Dunn signed, then Konerko becomes an unnecessary luxury for this team. We don't need two veteran 1B/DH types past this season, since Viciedo should ready for a full-time role in 2012. Even if we could somehow afford both of them, I'd rather spread the money available to Konerko across 1B/DH, C, and RP. I think this team is stronger and deeper with DLee, A.J., and random free agent reliever over Konerko, Flowers, and random White Sox minor league reliever.

December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 03:48 PM) Pretty sure Oney reads Soxtalk and he is responding to me with his last tweet What'd he say?
December 2, 201015 yr If Dunn is signed and the Sox go out and grab D.Lee, how many other holes are there? Closer? Another bullpen arm?
December 2, 201015 yr Dunn + Lee would be awesome. Give Dunn $12 million per year and Lee $5 million + incentives for one year. I would accept losing AJ if we gain both those. With Morel at third, we would have arguably the top defensive infield in baseball.

December 2, 201015 yr QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) 50 guests reading right now? Thats never good. My work network always kicks me out, so I don't sign in. I'm probably not alone.

And some people would say RF as well as Quentin really shouldn't be out there but I'm sure we're going to have to live with him if Dunn/Lee are signed.
