I was just looking at Bill James projections on FanGraphs...

 

They really like Morel and Flowers...apparently. They have Morel at a .339 wOBA and Flowers at a .352.

 

Quentin's at a .362, Dunn at .383, Lee at .367. Beckham at .338, Rios at .343.

 

That is one hell of a lineup if this comes into fruition.

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.

You could still sign AJ since we just saved money getting rid of Jenks.

175 posts and still no doctored photo of Dunn in Sox gear?

At least 1 bullpen arm, possibly more, along with catcher.

Oh crap, I forgot about the catcher. Dunn - $12 million, D.Lee - $5 million, AJ - $4 million ... too much?

Definitely, so I guess we can live with Quentin's horrible glove in RF.

Make sure you have a couple competent backups for when he hurts himself on a play.

Which will happen in the first week of the regular season.

Bill James is always super optimistic with his projections for some reason.

Man, I was actually getting some stuff accomplished here at work until this started.

You're right. I think the Sox will play like they are willing to go with Flowers for leverage purposes. Once AJ sees the market as terrible, he will probably accept a one-year deal wit the Sox for like $3 million or something.

Or an odd nickname by Joe? I'm ashamed of you, SoxTalk.

Few thoughts:

 

- something we lacked last year in my opinion was a strong sinker ball hitter, which was a void left by Thome leaving. Dunn would really help us with this, especially against a team like the Twins if they retain Pavano.

- D. Lee was a player that seemed to get hurt a lot by the wind blowing in a ton at Wrigley the first few months.

Heh...something like Spicy Sanchez or something else that makes no sense.

Or a tangent about some random animal? (see: Peavy thread - penguins)

Which reminds me, why don;t we target a player that rakes in April? We seem to have too many guys that start off cold.

Austin Kearns...

To this day, that is my favorite SoxTalk thread of all-time. Although i feel the one on Waldis Joaquin has potential.

What's everybody's speculation on Lee based? Have the Sox been linked to him by any media source?

maybe had some to do with it, but what I saw was Lee was struggling at the plate last year, however, at a good price I would love to see him with the Sox

Cowley: Yes, the Adam Dunn talk is very legit, and building steam.

Everyone's favorite columnist joined the Dunn rumor mill, saying it's legit and building steam.

That he won't be all that expensive and he's familiar with the city, as well as his relationship with KW and Ozzie.

#chisox appear to be closing in on deal for adam dunn. huge move for them!

I'm sure that this is just the White Sox covering their bases. If some team (Baltimore being the latest) makes Konerko an offer that he can't refuse, Williams needs to have a replacement in hand. It's even possible that he may choose Dunn over Konerko if he can get him for less money and/or years though most of what i have seen for Dunn is for four years. In either case, the Sox need to have some semblance of a 30 HR hitter in their #4 spot in the lineup next season along with improving the rest of the lineup, and it's going to be hard to do both.
