December 10, 201312 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 35s Ken Williams said on Hot Stove that #WhiteSox had "exciting" move brewing. Getting Eaton from #DBacks, as @keithlaw reported, would be that. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 1m Per @keithlaw, Eaton would go to #WhiteSox as part of three-team deal with Trumbo going to #DBacks, Skaggs-plus to #Angels.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (dayan024 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:58 AM) Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 26s As I said last night, the White Sox are not in on Juan Uribe. Entertaining guy, great teammate. Doesn't fit their plan right now f*** yeah
December 10, 201312 yr Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 59s Dback A. Eaton can play CF, bats left, 2 needs for #whitesox. And he's young (25). Santiago rumored in 3-way deal w Angels. #WinterMeetings
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 10:59 AM) Too much smoke for something not to happen. Eaton would be a good fit. If the trade goes off as stated with the Sox sending Santiago to acquire Eaton, there will have to be subsequent moves in the works. Probably a De Aza trade of some sort.
December 10, 201312 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 1m Just talked to Ken Williams. Talked about the team getting younger and more exciting. More to come on http://whitesox.com

December 10, 201312 yr Mike Berardino @MikeBerardino 25s Was told to keep an eye on the White Sox re: John Buck. Buddy Bell, No. 3 in BB Ops for CWS, managed Buck parts of 3 yrs with #Royals https://twitter.com/MikeBerardino
December 10, 201312 yr Ok, I am asking myself why on earth would KW go on this show and mention this? I doubt it was to give us some excitement about a potential deal.
December 10, 201312 yr Troy Renck @TroyRenck 2m #White Sox working hard to get a CF.. Been linked to Dbacks Adam Eaton.. White Sox had some interest in Fowler before he was traded

December 10, 201312 yr Apparently the Angels were also the team that tried to trade for Santiago earlier but went a different direction
December 10, 201312 yr Adam Eaton was the dbacks#5 prospect in 2012 Adam Eaton Rank: 5 ETA: 2012 Position: OF Age: 25, DOB: 12/06/1988 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 5' 8", Weight: 185 Drafted: 2010, 19th (571) - ARI All the Miami of Ohio product has done since becoming a pro is hit. He made it to Double-A in his first full season and hit better than .300 in the playoffs to help Mobile win the Southern League title. He hit .340 overall in his first two seasons, and that didn’t even count his .344 showing in the Arizona Fall League. Then, he upped that in 2012, absolutely scorching Pacific Coast League pitching. He has a plus arm from the outfield and likes to bait runners so he can throw them out. He gives 100 percent effort at all times and could be an outstanding fourth outfielder at the very least. Eaton made his Major League debut on September 4.
December 10, 201312 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 4m Sale is the ace, Quintana will take a ton to pry away, nobody wants to take on Danks' $$. Makes Santiago the default LHP trade chip.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) And most importantly he adds much needed OBP to the top of the lineup. .314 last year in essentially 1/2 a season of at bats. I do like that the Sox are targeting CF, which I think is the biggest needs.
December 10, 201312 yr Assuming they acquire their centre fielder. Who gets shopped: Viciedo, or De Aza?
December 10, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:10 AM) Assuming they acquire their centre fielder. Who gets shopped: Viciedo, or De Aza? Could be either.
December 10, 201312 yr Not a fan of Eaton. I saw quite a few of his at bats last year, and he didn't seem like an impact player. To me, it would seem like Santiago should have more value than him. If it was a trade of someone like Reed for Eaton, I'd be ok with that.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:10 AM) Assuming they acquire their centre fielder. Who gets shopped: Viciedo, or De Aza? Both, whoever the get more in return for, however, I imagine they'd prefer to deal De Aza.
December 10, 201312 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 58s More KW: "We think that we are on the cusp of doing some other things that I think our fans are going to like." https://twitter.com/scottmerkin
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) Getting Adam Eaton does not equal fan excitement, so now I'm intrigued No I think KW's is excited about Eaton's grindiness
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:13 AM) Getting Adam Eaton does not equal fan excitement, so now I'm intrigued Some say we are in for Juan Uribe and Scott says we arent.....honestly I thought that was what Kenny was originally was talking about
December 10, 201312 yr I love this, our front office is trying to make this team better to compete next year and I am excited.. Outfield of Viciedo-Eaton-Garcia could be great for years if they pan out
