balfanman Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Okay all of you minor league experts (I know we have several on this board); now that it's almost certain that Hahn will be dealing over the next 4 - 6 weeks, who do you want? Of the teams that are in contention and looking to acquire help for the stretch run, what prospects do they have that you would love Mr. Hahn to trade for? I know that we'll probably get a few impossibe suggestions, but I would love to hear some realistic thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShandyMan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 (edited) Mike trout and jurickson profar!!! duh!!!! Kidding. I'd like to see us get a few position player prospects. I'm no expert so I have no idea. I'd love for someone like Anthony Rendon but I DOUBT that happens. A change of scenery player like Smoak might work too for a lesser player.

witesoxfan Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Michael Taylor Scott Van Slyke Dee Gordon Kolton Wong Randall Delgado Zach Britton Those are the first few I'd be scouting pretty hard. Older young players who are close to the majors who've shown success who appear to have been given up on by their original team. Both Delgado and Britton would be used out of the pen initially.

Balta1701 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 QUOTE (staxx @ Jun 17, 2013 -> 10:06 AM) A change of scenery player like Smoak might work too for a lesser player. Just remember, he's arbitration-eligible next year, so he'd cost several million dollars to keep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I am very familiar with the Colorado Rockies' system, and I have always liked OF Charlie Blackmon. He's gotta be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing the Sox pull one of the following: Gregory Polanco (Pirates) Mike Olt (Rangers) - Started the year down but has started to come around Carlos Martinez (Cardinals) Kolton Wong (Cardinals) The likelihood of the Sox getting any of those guys is probably slim to none, but I would be ecstatic if they somehow landed one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I would like to see Hahn and the Sox acquire: Corey Seager 3B - LAD David Dahl OF - COL Gary Sanchez C - NYY Matthew Olson 1B - OAK They're all young position players with high upside, and they can be paired with Courtney Hawkins and Tim Anderson to form the core of the team from a position player perspective.

Dunt Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Sox should just trade Alexei, Crain, and cash to the Tigers for Nick Castellanos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you expect the Tigers need cash? Also why do they need Alexei? Who are they benching, Cabrera, Peralta (hitting .331), Infante (hitting .307) or even Austin Jackson?

caulfield12 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Isn't the weakness of Adams more than he might be another platoon or split time player, rather than a surefire, everyday, "pencil him permanently into X-Y-Z" spot of the line-up? What have his minor league splits been, up til now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like the idea of Olt. I think he has been substantially overrated and I think the Rangers know that, so I think he might actually be attainable. A ton of his value comes from his solid defense at third, which would be great for us but is useless to the Rangers as long as Beltre is around. The bat doesn't play at first.

There's a lot of concern he'll end up something of a hybrid of Brandon Wood/Pedro Alvarez at the big league level in terms of actual performance. OTOH, he's attainable now...but losing value fast.

Why are you convinced his bat doesn't play at first? He had a 1.000 OPS in AA last season. He certainly isn't likely to do that in the big leagues, but if you get him you're hoping he looks like the guy that was on a 50 HR pace last year.

That's only 40 PA, but I've listened and read some commentary on BP and BA about his ultimate ceiling, and they say it isn't super high -- his value comes from being an advanced bat that is close to the majors and is a complete player at third base.

Bruce_Blixton Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'd like to get Matt Adams from St. Louis, he's rotting away on their bench with Craig at 1B and would make a good replacement for PK next year. Maybe we can get him in a package for Alexei, I'd be nervous with Kozma heading into a playoff run and Furcal is out for the year with Tommy John surgery.

oldsox Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Since the Sox need catching, there is a AAA catcher available who is hitting about .330. Can't remember his name. Fegley?? I hear he is available because his current parent team won't bring him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I'm sure they are completely unaware of his presence and they don't have some other motive for keeping him in the minors and it has nothing to do with the jar of crickets he left in manager McEwing's office.
