December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (sircaffey @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:18 PM) Can this organization develop the single A prospects that it acquires? We seem to develop pitchers very well, it's the hitters we struggle with.

December 6, 201114 yr Very glad that we finally bring in some scouts like Paddy and our new scout from the Minnesota Twins organzation..

December 6, 201114 yr Can this organization develop the single A prospects that it acquires? You mean like Santos?
December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:21 PM) I guarantee you that Toronto asked for Beckham for this guy Beckham straight up for him?
December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:22 PM) Rock, have you heard of any FA that the Sox might go after? Nope. Not really tuned into that. These last few weeks have been really dark outside of a few meetings that I heard about taking place between the FO and other teams.

Unless you consider Dan Hudson and Chris Sale things that havent worked, I would say moving guys through the system quickly has been a decent philosophy of late.
December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Is Nestor the only piece? I would have thought you could squeeze another fringy piece in for Santos. That was my first thought, but I like the trade anyway.

December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:23 PM) Beckham straight up for him? I would take that over Sergio IMO. I get the feeling Beckham's value is at an all time low.
December 6, 201114 yr Even if Kenny isn't lying about not trading the starters now, they certainly have some offensive players and relievers they could move.
December 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Mr. Showtime @ Dec 6, 2011 -> 12:25 PM) Even if Kenny isn't lying about not trading the starters now, they certainly have some offensive players and relievers they could move. Quentin and Thornton have to be the first out before anyone. Hopefully for some more pitching.
December 6, 201114 yr I would take that over Sergio IMO. I get the feeling Beckham's value is at an all time low. A starting 2B, even a mediocre one, is harder to replace than a closer.

Perhaps. No starting minor league time for Sale could hurt though. We'll see this year. I'd also argue that Beckham being rushed hurt as well. I hope Kenny sticks to what he said in that he won't rush him. Do him like the Rays do. If rebuilding, this team isn't doing anything next year anyway. Edited December 6, 201114 yr by DirtySox
