Eminor3rd Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 QUOTE (GoGoSox2k2 @ Dec 6, 2012 -> 11:21 AM) quick note.. Revere to the Phills is done. Really surprised to see them move Span and Revere in the same offseason I thought so too, at first. Then I realized they can use Mastroianni there until their glut of 20-year old CF prospects get ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Does anyone have a good idea of the left-handed hitters that are available via trade? As Rock said, the outgoing package could be Floyd, Quintana, and Thornton...that doesn't open a spot in the lineup. So, maybe it's Floyd, Quintana/Thornton, and Rios/Viciedo. Could the Sox actually be in on Hamilton, and the trade frees up cash and brings back prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just isn't like the Sox to do that. I'm 95% sure that the splash (if any) will come in through trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Ellsbury wouldn't be a bad pickup, but it's tricky adding to a position of strength. A hiccup or regression for Ellsbury and you have gained nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston is looking for young cost controlled pitching which we really don't have to trade. It would take some sort of three way deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Pretty sure Boras is Ellsbury's agent. Think it's safe to say that's not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 6, 2012 -> 11:29 AM) 1 CF Alejandro De Aza* 2 3B Jeff Keppinger 3 DH Adam Dunn* 4 1B Paul Konerko 5 RF Alex Rios 6 LF Dayan Viciedo 7 SS Alexei Ramirez 8 C Tyler Flowers 9 2B Gordon Beckham Way too many outs in this lineup. OBP needs to improve, specifically from 6-9 in the lineup. Is Konerko still a #4 hitter? On this team, he probably is, but the 2nd half of the season was ugly and he's now a year older. Alex Rios has been up/down/up/down...he's coming off an up season. I'm fairly comfortable with De Aza and Dunn in the lineup in their spots. Dunn will frustrate with his K's and low average, but on the hole, this is a poor lineup that the pitching will need to cover for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayitaintso Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) DKnobler @DKnobler Marlins, who still need a 3B, have asked White Sox about Brent Morel. 3B mkt still crazy enough that Hannahan asked teams for multi-yr deal Edited December 6, 2012 by sayitaintso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, unless there's someone willing to overpay..i think i'm going to disagree with this. If the player that once was fell off due mainly to injury, and you believe the injury is not career-threatening (unsure on that)........ then isn't he of greater value as a young guy to just monitor while Keppinger gets older and older?

At this point it is better to sit on him and hope he rebounds to league average. If not, he has no value anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
