July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:25 PM) Danks and low prospect for Upton and Jed Gyorko Gyrko's contract is brutal.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:27 PM) So is Danks. Gyrko's goes thru 2019, Danks 2016. Gyrko's is worse.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Billness33 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Bob Nightengale (USA TODAY's baseball columnist) is reporting the Sox are currently on the phone with Detroit. They're looking to get Cespedes and move Garcia... He didn't say anything about moving Garcia.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:28 PM) He didn't say anything about moving Garcia. Yeah I don't see what they are seeing about that. I don't think it is worth giving up Avi for 2 months of a guy who wouldn't put us in World Series contention
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 05:28 PM) He didn't say anything about moving Garcia. Cespedes refused to play RF for Boston and Detroit. why would we trade Avi for him???
July 30, 201510 yr Jim Bowden @JimBowden_ESPN 4m4 minutes ago Where are the possible fits for Justin Upton and Yoenis Cespedes rentals? #WhiteSox #Orioles #Angels #Mets #Royals #Twins #Cardinals
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:35 PM) Cespedes refused to play RF for Boston and Detroit. why would we trade Avi for him??? We could just slide Melky to RF. Even if we kept Garcia and acquired Cespedes, that's what would happen.
July 30, 201510 yr You can pretty much cancel the Cards off that list. Baltimore's farm system is an issue. The Angels have a pretty nice surplus of OF now. The other teams are a problem.

The other teams are a problem. Royals made a huge splash. Not sure they make a whole lot of sense. Twins and Sox make most sense.
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 04:48 PM) Has Melky played RF before? All I know is he's listed as a LF/RF in MLB The Show, and he's the right fielder in my fantasy draft franchise and he does ok

July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:50 PM) and Mets Forgot about them but was just going off the list from your tweet
July 30, 201510 yr QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 30, 2015 -> 03:51 PM) Melky has played 108 games at RF in his career Answers my question then thanks! Wonder how he'd feel about it now.
July 30, 201510 yr I've been skimming the Tigers message boards. Pretty amusing that they think we have zero in our farm system. Unless you count that whole pitching thing. But the Tigers dont need that right? One person suggested Danish.

July 30, 201510 yr No one's going to have to empty the farm, or trade a top 100, for 2 months of these hitters. I hope we get neither - don't give up young players for a slim chance at a wild card. I'd rather trade Shark and roll with Johnson and we'd probably not take much of a step back. But of the 2, would far prefer Upton. Don't need any of these "I won't play RF" guys on team. Cespedes has a career OBP of .316. And don't want to send a player to Tigers. Edited July 30, 201510 yr by GreenSox

Cespedes has never been a on base % guy. At least Upton offers other demensions in his game like speed. Both are streaky but I think Upton is the better bet. But don't get me wrong Id be happy with both.
July 30, 201510 yr They trade all of their prospects and knock ours lol. We have 3 top 100 prospects.
