December 10, 201312 yr Saw the idea in another thread, and we're trying to keep these kinds of things separate. What say you, Soxtalk? How much is he worth?
December 10, 201312 yr Well like previously mentioned, he would be a good fit in Baltamore. They have a weak farm system, but I can see us going after pitching in any De Aza trade

December 10, 201312 yr Hopefully he is worth a swap of ML talent. The Giants are said to be looking for a LF and would love to pry Edwin Escobar away from them as they dont have position players at 3B or C that would be a match. The Mariners need help in the OF and I would call to see how down they are on Montero or Ackley who presumably dont have a position for the forseeable future.
December 10, 201312 yr The Mets also need OF help and are looking to move Murphy, he came up as a 3B and could fill the gap here.
December 10, 201312 yr I would trade whoever nets you a better catching prospect between ADA and Viciedo.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:33 PM) If we can swap him with a catcher or 3B or package him that would be great Not sure what the O''s have but that would be the idea no doubt. I'm gonna look around and see what the O's have to offer up.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 03:37 PM) In the time that it took to read this post, De Aza got picked off. That's all I can think of when I think of De Aza now.
December 10, 201312 yr Author I have no idea what he's like, but an interesting name that I saw in the O's system was Michael Ohlman. He was an 11th round pick in 2009. Was busted at the beginning of the year for a drug of abuse - probably weed - and suspended 50 games. He came back and tore it up after his suspension, and put up a .313/.410/.524/.934 in A ball this year. He was also just added to the 40-man to protect him. Again, I'm assuming he's worth more than De Aza, but that's the type of deal I'd look to make.
December 10, 201312 yr OK, this idea is crazy on too many levels but here goes. Flowers and DeAza for Weiters. I know Boris is Weiters agent but KW no longer sits in the GM seat so would a possible extention be too crazy? Switch hitter with some power would help this team no doubt and the Sox have payroll space. Doubtful DeAza and Flowers is snuff but you get the general idea. Maybe add Rienzo to the mix?
December 10, 201312 yr I get the feeling he's not worth a lot. If that's the case hopefully we just keep him.

December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 10:08 PM) ADA is not going to bring much back in a deal. Why is this? He's just as good as these guys getting 2 year, 10 million dollar deals.
December 10, 201312 yr We could Viciedo and send DeAza to the fundamentals part of the Cell in his off time. I like the speed of DeAza in the lineup, just not his fielding and base running... or lack there of.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:08 PM) ADA is not going to bring much back in a deal. Agreed... Viciedo is the piece to move. Then replace Viciedo's bat with Uribe. If Viciedo can be shipped for a young catcher (e.g. Jaso), that would be perfect.
December 10, 201312 yr QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 04:21 PM) if there's any way to get Daniel Murphy you do it. Isn't he a second baseman? Not that I'm against the idea. I think the mets are still looking for OF help so this could work.

He was a 3B in the minors and had to move when he hit the majors because of the presence of David Wright.

He could be extended to keep him around longer. He can hit, runs a bit too. Let's do it. Edit: Left handed bat too. Get on the horn Rick. Edited December 10, 201312 yr by StRoostifer
December 10, 201312 yr ADA for Daniel Murphy would certainly make some sense for both teams, I think. Similar caliber players in a similar contract situation going both directions.
December 10, 201312 yr Do the Mets even need De Aza at this point? Signed Young and Granderson this offseason already....OF probably isnt on the top of their list at this point
