Rowand44 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 11:48 AM) jaysonst Hearing #RedSox viewed #WhiteSox as main competition on Adrian Gonzalez. Before Dunn I assume. Kenny certainly isn't f***in around this offseason though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loney has racked up a lot of RBi's because of the guys he hits around, but look at his OPS the last 3 years: .772, .756, .723. He just isn't showing the kind of offensive production he was supposed to. He'll be 27 this year. He's the kind of guy I'd go after if I were a team that was on the outs like the Cubs or Astros; he's a guy who won't be terrible for me, has a slim chance of suddenly turning it around, and he won't be too expensive. But if I wanted to compete next year, I'd rather go with Viciedo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 would have been nice to have both AGon and Dunn in a whitesox uniform but oh well if we get Konerko i'll try to pretend that was never a possibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Makes you think the Sox have to consider moving Quentin or a pitcher to get some other younger players on board. One nice thing is that the Sox should shed pitching payroll with Buehrle/Peavy coming off the books relatively soon so that should enable you to at some point offer Danks a hefty extension (if the Sox feel that is in there best interest). I'm becoming more and more open to a trade of one of our starters, as long as the club is able to get two top 100 MLB ready pitching prospects with upside in return (which I'm not sure is a realistic expectation).

If we bring PK back we're about to have to get real freakin creative. I agree. Don't get me wrong, I want Konerko back. But the bullpen needs a lot of work. I'm not nuts about Chris Sale being the closer, and I really don't like the idea of Matt Thornton of being the closer.

I'm open to moving a starter as long as we get a pitcher who can step right in and take a rotation spot. KW said that Sale is going to be in the pen and if we're planning on contending this season(which we obviously are) than that's the right spot for him.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) Lorenzo Cain being dangled? MLBtraderumors says the Brewers are looking for a starting pitcher. If we can give them Floyd, that really improves their pitching a TON with Floyd and Marcum. And Cain looks pretty good, even if he is going to be 25 before the season starts and has yet to really see much time in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we were getting cash for Thome and Vazquez. Including the money from LAA for Cabrera, the confusing money from the Phils for Thome and cash from the Reds for Griffey: the team's final payroll was around $110M in 2008.
