Any details?

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.

This is our current setup per mlbdepthcharts.com.

 

You know, I don't hate that team, as-is. One "splash" and I think I might even be excited.

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?

I dont see the Sox typing up that much into one player, especially one with so many risks. It just isn't like the Sox to do that.

 

I'm 95% sure that the splash (if any) will come in through trade.

Ellsbury is supposedly available for pitching, but that is certainly a long shot.

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.

I don't think regression is what you worry about, it is injury

I don't think we have the chips to get him anyways. 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.

Pretty sure Boras is Ellsbury's agent. Think it's safe to say that's not gonna happen.

Jose Quintana sez "Hola".

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.

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

If the Sox can get something of value for Morel, they should leap at the chance.

I'd like Dunn at 4, Rios 3, PK 5

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?

Sign me up to drive him to the airport. Hope he likes Southwest.

that's the problem... who would offer something of value? At this point it is better to sit on him and hope he rebounds to league average. If not, he has no value anyway.

Morel for Stanton. Get it done

Morel for Stanton. Get it done

 

They should probably throw in Nolasco to make it fair.

Only Mike, though. I don't trust that Giancarlo guy...

I wonder if the Sox could get Morrison for a package based around Morel?

5-9 are up in the air if they will even be with us next season. Some of those pieces may be gone.

You do realize that we are all going to get a lot less done at work for the next few weeks now. Things could be exciting (in a good or bad way) soon.
