Buehrle to Marlins likely means Pujols to Cards, Wilson to Angels and Fielder to Cubs

 

I thought Fielder to M's.

I could see the Rangers making a late move for Fielder

Goldschmidt would look great in a Sox uniform

 

Doesnt really make sense for the Dbacks to trade Goldschmidt to get older and more expensive at the same position.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 03:56 PM)
Could be, but throw in the Gio Gonzalez trade to happen before Danks.

Forgot about Gio.

blow. it. up.

I agree with this, he'd be a great fit there.

Leave a trail of gas to Kenny's Office before you light it

nope, Reinsdorf is too big of a f***ing idiot for it to happen. Kenny's probably thinking to himself "LOL, I can't believe I still have a job. Hahahahahahah!"

Not what I meant.

you seriously just ignored the numbers there didn't you... wtf??

 

Quoting career numbers makes no sense at all.

 

This graph shows a different story: http://www.fangraphs.com/graphsw.aspx?play...1,8001&wg=3

 

Hanley falling off a cliff after an early peak, Tulo sustaining three consecutive seasons at roughly 6 wins.

So tulo's allowed a bad season and dip, and Hanley isn't?

 

at the same age - 24-26

 

Tulo WAR 18.5

Hanley WAR 19.5

 

To say Tulo is clearly the better player is just incorrect... I'm sure Hanley's gonna bounce back in a big way this year. We can revisit it then. lol

Hey guys - this thread is for Sox rumors and discussion - not a Tulo vs. Hanley war.

No, I'm saying that what happened 3 or 4 years ago isn't what's happening now. You could argue that Hanley has had a better career overall, but not that Hanley is, right now, the better player. If you went off of career cumulative WAR, you could argue that Vladimir Guerrero should be in way more demand than Prince Fielder.

I can't believe that the O's are putting Jones on the trade market, wonder what it would take to get him

I'd do a deal for Adam Jones.

This is sad LOL

 

Date: Team: Pos:

Brent Lillibridge - OF - White Sox

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the White Sox player drawing the most trade interest from other teams has been Brent Lillibridge.

The Sox were supposed to be one of the most active teams at the Winter Meetings, but the only move they've made to this point has been to trade Sergio Santos. They've put John Danks, Gavin Floyd and Carlos Quentin on the block, but so far nothing has been close to materializing. Lillibridge was a nice utility player for the Sox in 2011 but wouldn't bring back much in a trade.

vlad isn't 26 and 27 like tulo and hanley respectively... you can't say that hanley's last season is indicative of hanley next year either! it's called an outlier, and they happen. If I recall PK has had a few of those. Does that mean he's not a good player?

Trading Lillibridge would be incredibly stupid.

lol i agree - but remember when we all hated him... that was funny.

Tulo has been significantly better for the past two seasons, Hanley has been trending downward for three. Numbers from four years ago don't have much predictive value.

Man, I gotta admit, I hated him A LOT.
