Frank_Thomas Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 11:30 AM) Hector spending a little time above his promised land last year.......and Eaton spending a little time below it last year...... ........is why we even have a shot at this. I'm on board. Do it. LHP is a surplus, and we have a need for a ready-now guy with great ceiling. Well put, the more I hear on Eaton the more I say pull the trigger. We are trading from a position in which we have flexibility, especially LH's. And IMO Santiago is probably the one who has a chance to flounder ( I think JD comes back to what we are used to). Lead off guys who draw walks and play CF, hit left-handed and bring a grindy-ness that will excite fans like Rowand did (as I have read many scouting reports say this guy plays balls out regardless of his safety) are hard to come by. This kid has 88 at bats, was AZs 5th overall spect in 12, 73 rd overall in MLB in 13, and who is coming over injury and devalued. Not to mention this dude has had a chip on his shoulder since being drafted cause of the tag he was too small to be an everyday MLB'er. I'll take my chances, if he can turn that chip and be even in the same zip code, or state as Dustin Pedroia who also had that chip, RH is a genius in 2 years.

GreenSox Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If Williams has had his "eye" on Eaton for a while, it wouldn't surprise me if the Sox throw in a prospect just to close the deal. We should be getting a prospect. It's way too early to say Santiago has maxed out. On the other hand, when Eaton played 1/2 a season, his numbers fell way, way off from his 120 AB season.

Butter Parque Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Love Juano, just don't understand the fit. We made one mistake with Kep, why compound it with another 2 years of Juano?

hogan873 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Just like around the trading deadline, I find that if I just step away from the computer stuff will start happening. Sure enough, I just got back from a meeting and things are happening. I like the idea of Eaton. Hopefully there's another piece coming back with him. And I'm not totally against Uribe. If he is signed, however, wouldn't that mean that one of Keppinger, Beckham, and Gillaspie will be gone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, but I'm not sure why we want Kendrick or Uribe, nor why we signed Paulino when we have Johnson. I have no idea what the Sox are doing right now. Maybe they are planning on unloading a whole bunch of players and bringing in stopgaps. Makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butter Parque Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 05:58 PM) Its 2 years..... It's not something you need. You are supposed to be going younger. You already have a veteran at 3B with Kep for another 2 years. Just seems contradictory to everything else you are hearing. Unless they are confident they can move Kep or Beckham, it's odd.

bear_brian Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If we sign Uribe, we will turn Keppinger back to Tampa for that LH hitting catcher (name escapes me). We will platoon Uribe and Gillaspie at 3B, be able to spot Juan at SS and 2B when needed. It would be a good acquisition because of his defense and the flexibility he brings.

We made one mistake with Kep, why compound it with another 2 years of Juano? I don't mind getting Juan, he plays every position in the IF well and offers a solid PH off the bench. The only thing I would need to be okay with it is if it's contingent on us trading Keplinger or a different IF. But preferably swapping Kep with Juan is be okay depending on the money and return for Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian310 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 The way I look at the Juan situation, is that Keppinger has 2 years on his deal. If we get Uribe for 2 years and ship Keppinger away, nothing really changes other than us bringing in some sort of bullpen or minor league piece for Keppinger. I would expect Juan to platoon at third though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
