July 16, 201312 yr Not a bad idea but maybe in the future for a thread Title you might want to say something like Trade Idea with the Dodgers. Your thread title lead me to believe there was a trade. Just sayin'.
July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 09:35 PM) I mean, they need pitching and don't need Joc Peterson right? Definitely a possibility for Peavy if he proves his health, but much less so since they picked up Nolasco.

With their current financial budget, I'd never count them out of any trade, but yeah, since they got Nolasco they are solid 4-deep in that rotation. It depends how concerned they are about the 5th spot with Capuano/Fife/Lilly

I could see a package of Reed and Ramirez for Pederson, Dee Gordon, and Onelki Garcia. Lets the Dodgers move Hanley to 3B and put Uribe in a UT role, and gets them the upgrade to Brandon League that they really need. Gordon can plug in to SS for the rest of the season and let him try to get things figured out.

Uribe is more productive than Alexei this year, they already have a utility guy in Punto, and possibly Hairston, and why mess with Hanley. Wasn't there an issue with him being asked to move to 3B to make room for Reyes a year or two ago? Now, they might bite on Reed and Beckham.
July 16, 201312 yr Wrong Los Angeles team but is there anyway the Sox can acquire CJ Cron from the Angels? He is going to be blocked for quite some time. They will need pitching. Just a thought.

July 16, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 16, 2013 -> 01:56 PM) Son of former-Sox Chris? Yes I do believe so. Was 17th overall pick in 2011 draft. Has Plus-Plus raw power. 1B prospect. Just played in the Futures Game and is one of Angels best prospects in a system that is worse than the Sox system.

They will need pitching. Just a thought. Angels are probably sellers come this trade deadline, though. They're 11 games behind Oakland and 9 games out of wild card contention with every team in the East as well as Texas and Cleveland in front of them. If Peavy isn't dealt this July or August, maybe there could be something with the Angels in the off season, but for now, I don't see them looking to buy pitching any time soon.

Even with him being blocked by Trumbo and Pujols for several years into the future, there is just no need for them to trade him now. But I fully expect Cron to be traded at some point in the next year or two.
