I listed some names last week. Lucroy and Ramirez from Milwaukee Zobrist from Oakland Possibly Prado from Miami

June 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 06:15 PM) I'm not sure if Lucruy is available but he's 1 player I'd give a boatload to get anderson, hawkins and a minor league sp???
June 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 12:41 PM) If the team finishes 81-81, it'll be the perfect fan identity crisis experiment. Which is funny, because the center of even Soxtalks predictions were in the 84/85/86 wins area.
June 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 12:18 PM) anderson, hawkins and a minor league sp??? More if needed..I will say I'm not an Anderson believer so yes for whom I believe to be the best catcher in baseball in Lucroy

Maybe throw in Sanburn or another reliever type arm. I just want to hold onto Danish, Anderson and Adams as badly as possible.

Maybe throw in Sanburn or another reliever type arm. I just want to hold onto Danish, Anderson and Adams as badly as possible. That seems like a very weak package for a solid player. Decent chance there's not a major leaguer amongst that package.

That won't be nearly enough to get it done, but it could be a blessing in disguise. As good as Lucroy is (and I'm a big fan), he'll be a 30 year old catcher next year who has started to catch the injury bug. Seems like a good candidate to start being worse. Good contract, though.

If you believe Anderson will become a top 5 SS yes it would put the sox in an awkward bind, but I don't. I also think Lucroy would make our pitching staff better an his hitting is pretty good as well. He's still in his prime so we'd have a decent catcher for at least a few years baring injury. It's a pipe dream at best but a move I would make if I could an just my 2 cents.

I just think he's gonna be a really good pitcher for us
June 1, 201510 yr QUOTE (AlSoxfan @ Jun 1, 2015 -> 07:56 PM) I would agree i think Montas will pan out, maybe not as a sp, but as a elite closer. just my opinion.

Martin is really good defenselessly but his bat is questionable. for a yr or 2 martin or newman can then take over ss.

If you're drafting a SS and thinking "he'll take over the big league position in 1-2 years" and making trades based on that, you're out of your mind.
