Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I was told by bucket to stop listening to Bruce Levine, but apparently he told Mac and Spiegs that the Mariners are interested in Dayan Viciedo. What would it take guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would it take guys? That scoop is only about 3 months late. Bucket mentioned that on here during the Winter Meetings. Unless they're suddenly willing to give Nick Franklin, it's not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) https://twitter.com/JonHeymanCBS/status/441285743592239104 I believe the Mariners would be interested in Viciedo. He's had some good games out there. edit: looking at his splits...only 1 HR at Safeco. Fooled me. Edited March 5, 2014 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the Sox will target in return. Hahn hasn't exactly been shy about asking for big returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had some good games out there. It really is just a matter of time before one of them is moved. Hopefully De Aza as I think he has reached his ceiling and is probably as close to max value as possible. I think if the Sox move Viciedo they will regret it for the next decade unless the return is something spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I think this was BEFORE he went out and got Corey Hart AND Logan Morrison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I would need a nice return to trade Viciedo. I see De Aza as the more likely one to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heyman has a lot more credibility than Levine. I think if Heyman is stating it, it's probably legit and he heard it from someone more reliable than Levine.

Dick Allen Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 6, 2014 -> 09:44 AM) Like others have implied, hope its De Aza that gets traded. I would need a pretty good haul for Viciedo or use him as something bigger. Trading De Aza for peanuts makes zero sense as well. I don't think he will get thrown out on the bases 11 times and picked off 6 times again, and defensively, he has to be better than he was, because he has been. I have never seen an OF have a tougher time picking up a base hit cleanly at any level including Little League than De Aza last season. Offensively, he's a pretty good player. Dumping him for next to nothing is beyond selling low. When he has his head together, he is a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Levine, Bernie Pleskoff, and Jon Heyman have all mentioned Mariners interest in Viciedo now. Levine said this morning that Zduriencik was in camp watching Viciedo. What would the Sox even be interested in from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Keep Viciedo, trade De Aza. Viciedo went .265/14/56 in just 124 games last year. Give him a chance. We know he has a ton of power in him (2012). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) The Twins have some interest in White Sox outfielder Alejandro De Aza, who is getting interest even though he's not everything a club would want in a center fielder, leadoff type. Last season, De Aza slashed .264/.323/.405 with 17 homers in 675 plate appearances. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/03/cafa..._medium=twitter Edited March 9, 2014 by Y2JImmy0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 This is a tough one because Viciedo with a good year would suddenly have some real serious trade value. The organizational-health move is to give him another shot at this thing. Meanwhile De Aza is more of an all-around player. I think the mental mistakes are something that can be focused on...we saw Rios improve in that department. If we want to pile some wins early this coming year and take our best shot at this thing, then ADA is playing more than Viciedo If we want to try and take a shot at the Grand Prize, and take a chance in hopes of getting something substantial for our troubles..then Viciedo plays.

Viciedo definitely plays. It's not even close in my mind. I like De Aza, but he just does not fit on this team anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like De Aza, but he just does not fit on this team anymore. I'd have to disagree that De Aza doesn't fit IF the Sox think the power he displayed last year is legit. If Davidson breaks camp as the everyday 3B then De Aza would be nice to have hitting in the 6-7 spot to break up all the RHH. I loves me some Tank but I wouldn't be mad if he's the one that gets traded. We'd all like for him to be a middle of the order hitter, but with Garcia, Abreu, and potentially Davidson the need for a middle of the order RHH hitter isn't that big.
