December 10, 201312 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 9s Robin Ventura admits team wanted to improve center field mix . Getting younger and better is appealing to team.

December 10, 201312 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 1m Improving defense and base running number one priority.according to Ventura.
December 10, 201312 yr Ben Badler @BenBadler 16s One name to file away for the Rule 5 draft: Blue Jays LHP Tyler Ybarra. Two above-average pitches, high strikeout rate, still wild.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:19 PM) Kendrick gets $9.35M in 2014 & $9.5M in 2015 We move him then right? Still go with Semien? Man I hope not! Kendrick is what we hoped Beckham could be as a hitter. I have been a Kendrick fan for a long time. With Eaton leading off and Kendrick batting second that line up looks much better to me and I don't think Hahn will be done. I can see Viciedo ending up at DH and Dunn gone.

December 10, 201312 yr Bob Nightengale @BNightengale 2m No official announcement yet, but deal is getting awfully close Expand
December 10, 201312 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 1m We are different going forward regardless of what we do (trades) said Ventura
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:44 PM) Buh bye Alejandro. Not necessarily, ADA in LF significantly improves the teams defense.

December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) When Nightengale speaks, I listen. He's the best. Sure is, when he tweets something he is 100% before and when he does it usually happens. He is about as reliable as a writer can be these days with twitter, texts, and all that which GMa use to generate interest and whatever.
December 10, 201312 yr I could see someone like Cole Calhoun or Luis Jimenez coming from LA. They are both decent players who can play on the majors now but have no immediate future with them. Just a shot in the dark....hard to see much else coming from the Angles because their system is pretty awful
December 10, 201312 yr Bruce Levine @MLBBruceLevine 3s Beckham was never 100 percent at any time last year -Ventura.
December 10, 201312 yr I'm still holding out hope for Howie, or Conger now that he has been mentioned. I just don't see how LA gets Santiago, Skaggs, and Cahill. AZ get Trumbo plus 2 prospects and we get Eaton. Something is coming back, it's a matter of what and how significant. Howie or conger would be a hell of a deal, and I would be beyond excited Edited December 10, 201312 yr by Frank_Thomas35
December 10, 201312 yr There has been nothing in the rumors that the Sox are receiving anything beyond Eaton. Lots of names thrown around that could be, but nothing indicating it is more than Eaton. I think it is on the low side, but probably not crazy. Really depends if the prospect is actually good or more of a throw in.

December 10, 201312 yr The scouting report on Eaton suggests that his best skill is getting on base. However, he has yet to prove that at the MLB level. If is not successful at that, he is nothing more than a fourth outfielder. He lacks the speed and skill to stick in CF. He lacks the power to be a corner outfielder, and he also does not have the arm for RF. Even if he can get on base, he is not a real threat to steal, to make him an ideal lead off hitter. With his skill set, if he were a proven player in the big leagues, he might be worth Santiago. But, he is still only a prospect. Please don't tell me that he is all the Sox are going to get for Santiago, plus a prospect!!! The fact that he bats left handed is not significant, in that our need is for a LH hitting, middle of the order guy.

All this coming from the guy who wants Grady Sizemore to play CF after a million knee operations. Edited December 10, 201312 yr by scs787

Dayan, Beck, Rienzo/Snodgress, and Hawkins? Could that be a thing?
