ewokpelts Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) Dead people would have been better than some of the players that were thrown out there from 2006-2009. Too bad the manager in those years felt he needed a hitter in that spot instead of a guy that could play the position. Especially in 2006, when all but 2 everyday hitters were hitting .275 or higher(with at least 4 over .300) a good chunk of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) To add to the list..... Mike Moustakas Chase Headley Jedd Gyorko Adrian Beltre Ryan Zimmerman Hanley Ramirez Pedro Alvarez David Freese Brett Lawrie Edwin Encarnacion Anthony Rendon Nolan Arenado Kyle Seager There you go. There are about 13 players that I would consider significant upgrades at the 3B position. Any stop-gap or fringy 3B would disappoint. QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) Lol, no. What do you mean "Lol, no" Your list is ridiculous and totally unrealistic for so many reasons it isnt even funny. You managed to name off top prospects, arb controlled young really good players, inter division rival top prospects, and one of the best fielding third basemen of the last 5 years and act like they are just readily available. Im sorry man, but prepare for disappoint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) Lol, no. If you think we can acquire ANY of those players, save Gyorko or MAYBE Seager, than you have been playing too much Nintendo baseball. I mean, seriously, try to come up with a realistic trade scenario for ANY of those players that doesn't include Chris Sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Heyman and Rosenthal both have mentioned the last couple days that the White Sox are trying to sign Youkilis. Dodgers and Phillies also mentioned. With the Red Sox signing of David Ross, I would love to see the Sox go after Saltamacchia. He is reportedly available.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: Hunter prefers to play every day. Ten teams have contacted him, including #Dodgers, #Tigers, #WhiteSox, #Rangers, #Mariners. Anyone still interested in Torii Hunter in a Sox uni?

Even if the White Sox really want him, how do they add him IF they aren't increasing payroll by much? I'm assuming he's going to cost close to $10 million a season, right? If the White Sox have something like 8 or 9 guys at about 90 million already and plan on keeping the payroll at about 100-110, I'm not seeing how they can do this, unless they have plans to shake up the offense with some surprising/unexpected moves. Last season: .313 avg, 16 HR, 92 RBI, 9 SB, .817 OPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rios or Tank are traded I wouldn't mind it, last year he hit over .300 vs. both LHP & RHP so thats a plus. I've been preaching adding only LH bats but I guess its moot if the RH bat can hit both LH and RH pitchers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
