Steve9347 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 08:10 AM) The Werth contract is ridiculous. Makes Dunn look like a bargain. Adam Dunn is 7 months younger than Jayson Werth and the much more impactful player. Dunn - 4/56 Werth - 7/126 Kenny Williams is a genius for jumping the market.

dmbjeff Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) I'm sick of ATT UVerse not offering MLB Network. This is the time where I really NEED MLB Network. Dammit... Like I said before... I wouldn't be surprised if KW packaged Quentin and and/or Viciedo (and maybe even Floyd or Jackson) together in a trade for a stud outfielder. Can you imagine how good the Sox line up would have been if we moved on David DeJesus before Oakland snagged him? maybe quentin and viciedo could be offered up for rasmus??

Who is the Cardinals Center Fielder in this situation, Lance Berkman, Matt Holliday, Carlos Quentin, or Dayan Viciedo? And how much better do they get when they bench their current 1b to get Viciedo some at bats? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 ChuckGarfien White Sox meeting with Paul Konerko's agent Craig Landis at 11am eastern. Diamondbacks reportedly making big push. about 2 hours ago So we should hear something on the sox front shortly. One way or the other. I agree KW has been a master this offseason and I think he has a few more aces up his sleeve. Both in the trade market and free agent wise. I have a good feeling. With JR in Orlando I'm thinking we may be going after someone else big and JR is there for approval, not just for Paulie. I really think this week will be memorable for the southsiders.

Chisoxfn Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think JR is typically at this meetings. Might be wrong but I swear he was usually at the GM meetings. Either way, I wouldn't look any more into it because we all know about Paulie's relationship with the chairman. Nice trade by the Orioles.

Maybe we trade Pierre and sign Crawford...ha...I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, how much does Ichiro get paid? Ichiro is one guy that you really don't care how much he's paid, because, just thanks to the added interest and viewership and ad sales in Japan, you make up most of the money. It's nearly $20 million, but it's a $20 million check and an extra $25 million in revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) If you could subtract Buehrle or Peavy from the payroll, then Ichiro would actually fit nicely. Of course, the M's wouldn't take on either of those two contracts, but I'd think they would be interested in Viciedo/Mitchell/Sale (some combination of one of them) + Quentin + Floyd/Danks for Ichiro. As mentioned before, he basically pays for himself. Now he's lost a couple of steps and not the same player he was a decade ago when he was in his prime, but he's far from Ken Griffey, Jr., Manny Ramirez or Roberto Remember the Alomar.

I know it won't happen, BUT if you added Ichiro to this team along with PK coming back... would the Sox have a lot of national writers and reporters picking them to go to the World Series? I think the national attention would HAVE to be there then. Edited December 6, 2010 by Chet Kincaid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
