January 5, 201214 yr DirtySox is gonna cream his pants if the sox get McGuire. I know he likes him alot as a prospect. (don't mind him either though) Edited January 5, 201214 yr by SoxAce
January 5, 201214 yr Well that would give us the big name everyone has been hoping for. It was also put us into the 65-70 category for next year in all probability.
January 5, 201214 yr Something else I had not seen before. MLBInsideNews Scott Swaim #Angels have also checked in on Jesse Crain.

It was also put us into the 65-70 category for next year in all probability. Which, honestly, I'm fine with. A couple people around here have pointed out that this "rebuild" doesn't look like it needs to last more than a couple seasons because our big-money commitments will expire. I will gladly watch the kids lose 80-90 for a couple years to set this thing onto the right course.
January 5, 201214 yr Sox loved Asher during the draft scouting process. I'm not a huge fan of his, as his fastball has lost some velocity. I'd be fine with Deck, as finally we could get a GT guy to be a star after dealing with this bum from UGa at 2nd base.

If we get him, I hope we don't pay what he would have commanded upon being drafted.
January 5, 201214 yr From Sickels 2012 pre-lims: 7) Deck McGuire, RHP, Grade B+ Doesn't have the ceiling of the younger guys, but should be a solid inning-eater at worst and won't need much longer in the minors. 12) Asher Wojciechowski, RHP, Grade B-: His season was not as bad as you think and he was hot towards the end. Breakout candidate for 2012.
January 5, 201214 yr So if the Sox trade their major league talent for the blue jays minor league talent, does that mean that J4L will have to say that AA is an idiot and KW is a genius
January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 12:16 PM) Deck McGuire? For a #4 starter on a bad team? Sign me up. That's undervaluing Floyd a bit. He's been the #3 starter in one of the majors' best starting rotations. Just McGuire would be a disappointing return.
January 5, 201214 yr If we're going to make three trades with the Blue Jays in one offseason, we better damn well get one of their top prospects from that combination.
January 5, 201214 yr I know nothing about these prospects talent-wise, but just the names Deck McGuire & Asher Wojciechowski excite me. Get it done KW.
January 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) I hope to get Kyle Drabek... lol, no way man. We don't want him.
January 5, 201214 yr Couldn't some of these moves...Thornton, Crain, Floyd all happen in July just as easily and with more teams desperate to add? Call me crazy, but I think there's an outside chance the current roster can win. To me, they should give this roster a few months to play, and then if they're 6 games back in July and under-.500, trade anyone you can/want.
January 5, 201214 yr lol, no way man. We don't want him. I've a feeling Drabek will be a lot better next season.. Floyd to Toronto for Drabek & McGuire, would be a great deal for the Sox.

I wonder if KW won't sign a couple scrap-heap veterans on one-year dealsin Feb to fill in the holes, like Francis or something. Seems to be a common move during these rebuilds. Makes the team not a TOTAL joke at least.
January 5, 201214 yr Is no one else already worried that we'll only get a "project" prospect and a throw-in?

Stick to it or don't, no in-between s***.
