Sox acquire DH Adam Lind in about a week from Toronto.

 

Will JR force Lind to remove the small animal growing on his chin?

 

Smoak claimed on waivers by Toronto. That can't help Lind's chances of not being gone, although Smoak sucks.

That was a dude who was supposed to be sure 30 homer guy annually, but maybe even 40. Now he is hot garbage.

Sox acquire CarGo and cash from the Rockies for Tank and a prospect.

I was hoping the Danks boys for Mike Trout and cash would go through first.

Can't give up Jordan in that deal. The Sox will probably nix it.

Remember how crazy-awesome that draft was supposed to be? Didnt really turn out how people expected

If Levine was accurate at all when he said the Sox were going to target Victor, unless they have already been told no chance, I can't see them trading for Lind. But he has been wrong before, even when he said he would stake his reputation on it's accuracy.

Alvarez, Beckham (both of them), Smoak to start with. Hosmer to some extent.

Jeez, I never heard his report was to this extent.

 

Regardless, whoever does end up with Lind may as well have been a contender for Martinez. A lot of people have thrown Baltimore and Seattle out there as options and they figure to be involved with Martinez as well. If I had to guess on both I would say Lind to Oakland and Martinez to Seattle or Detroit.

 

EDIT: I still think nothing of Levine, just thought it was interesting he'd put his reputation out there. The Sox have watched Martinez very closely over the years and it's not hard to believe they like him a lot as a player. His age, contract and compensation are a lot to swallow though.

 

in the 2004 offseason he staked his reputation on the Sox signing Omar Vizquel. less than 24 hours after he did that, Omar signed a 3 year deal with the Giants

It was another comment. When Omar Vizquel was a free agent, he said it was a done deal he would be a White Sox and staked his reputation to the claim. Omar signed with SF a day or so later.

Viciedo to Seattle for Montero.

I can't believe I'm saying it, but I think I'd rather have Viciedo.

What's Montero's contract status?

Pre-arb, so roughly league minimum plus unlimited ice cream sandwiches.

Before Jose Abreu (BJA), circa July of 2013, I would have taken a flyer on Jesus Montero, but AJA, the year of our savior, 2014, there is no real appeal in Montero to me. He's a DH only, he doesn't fill any glaring need, and he has no positional versatility. If he doesn't hit, he's useless for everything except the ice cream sandwich toss.

Lol so funny to me. How pompous. To think any person on earth gives a s*** about the words or reputation of a sports writer, one of the all-time major clown jobs of modern society.

 

Oh you predicted some sports event? Cool man, here's a taco.

Yeah, the other guy I take great delight when he is constantly wrong, but you wouldn't know so from his pompousness, is Hub Arkush.

I see us trading Matt Davidson away for starting pitching.

 

As Tim Lincecum seems to be out of favour in San Francisco and Sandoval is out of contract.

 

I reckon we could see Matt Davidson and Marcus Semien for Tim Lincecum as the 1st trade on November 23rd.

No declining, woefully overpaid veterans, please.

Sox need young talent.

 

 

Jason Heyward doesn't fit the cost-controlled, core young guy theme so maybe he isn't a realistic target. We have to pay somebody at some point, so if we can lock him up that would be great and he would be a nice core piece. Maybe the Rockies' outfield is where we should be picking, as somebody mentioned. We gotta pick from somewhere.

At the GM meetings, Hahn trades a Sugar Daddy to Nats GM Mike Rizzo for a fun size Snickers. The deal is widely praised as a steal, though Morosi questions why Hahn got a Snickers when he had a full size Milky Way in his briefcase.

Acquire all the nougat!!!

If we want a proven hitter, sign him, don't trade for him.

We'll never get anywhere if we don't get the farm up to spiff.

What about Rasmus - he had a better year than most of these players people want to trade our prospects for. He may not even get a QO.

Careful what you wish for. Beckham sucked so I bet your player would suck, and suck heavily. Might be better off with the cayysh.

 

You're never better off with just cash in a trade that small. That player could figure something out or suddenly click. A few thousand dollars is just money.
