Initially I was going to say Micah/Beck but wasn't sure with both of them having injuries this past season. Oakland looks like they have an opening at 2B so I figured Johnson and a pitcher. Looks like they might have an opening in the OF too but I think it's CF so I doubt they have interest in Avi.

i really think you premise is right but not the players...

 

MJ for sure and then maybe, i would imagine a pitcher and one of J May or Engel.

 

i made an error.

I'm of the mindset that were gona snag CarGo and Lawrie. I like Lawrie because of his age.

Pedro Alvarez literally cannot play 3b any more. See here for full.

Derek Dietrich marlins. 25 years old LH .256/.346/.456/.802 Hoping to come up with the right package for him and Ozuna. They want pitching.

Dietrich is a butcher in the field; worse than Micah.

Hoping if he stays at one position he can improve. could also pull late if that bad.

Why would the Sox want those 2?

Dietrich's not a 3B. yea, maybe he improves. Avi, Sanchez and Micah could too (and the latter 2 are already stellar defensively).

 

Defense has long been a huge albatross on the Sox

 

On other matters:

 

Lawrie's no better than average. Micah would be a fair deal for him, especially as Robbie doesn't know how to use him.

Cargo be just a ridiculous trade. $20 mill a year, 2 year rent, heavily stacked Coors field stats, low OBP, lots of Ks.

Sox need to build, not wish-cast.

You always bash our ideas, yet don't provide your own ideas of what the Sox should do.

i know .... cargo with many posters hoping for a trade. i just can't see him doing good outside coors.

 

i know it is me....

He is looking for guys who make minimum, so he can afford David Price. It is weird, in his world, the Brewers should never have traded Lawrie yet teams should not trade for him either.

CarGo can hit outside of Coors. Sit down with that nonsense

I've looked up the stats.

My prediction is Freese on a 3 year deal...and it won't go well.

well I dunno what stats you use, try these: http://www.fangraphs.com/statsplits.aspx?p...OF&season=0

That would anger me so much.

I've consistently said what I would do.

Gotten a lot of bashing for it.

Here you go:

Build with youth.

Not trade for these over-priced, over-rated "proven" veterans.

Too many holes to try to win in 2016.

But, if we must have a "star" I'd go with Upton, although I wish he didn't have a QO attached. Wish we hadn't wasted resources on Melky when Upton was up the next year.

 

I'm fine with Lawrie - trade Micah for him. I think I said that. He's passable and passable at 3B would help a lot. Could improve. (but I know the Sox when it comes to dealing with Beane: they fall all over themselves trying to impress Sir Billy, and it will be Micah and Montas and an A ball prospect thrown in, which would be nuts).

Find a different/better young 3B. Trade EJ or Montas for him.

 

Trade one of Sale, Q , Eaton to plug 2-4 holes with good young talent.

 

Play both Trayce and Sanchez this year. A lot. They should be starters.

 

If we must trade prospects, try to do it with 2nd and 3rd tier prospects: Saladino, Beck, Danish. Then the Johnsons, May. Leave the A ball prospects alone...some of those guys are going to blast; don't know which one will. But keep them.

Didn't have a great avg. at .243 but hit 16 HRs and 36 RBIs and 21 BB. You wouldn't take that on this team? He had a better year on the road than LaRoche did all year. He's a better option than Avi out there and instantly adds much need power to this lineup and someone who could hit behind Abreu.

That would anger me so much.

 

Not only is he pretty mediocre, but I also feel like he's Crede-esque in terms of consistently being banged up.

I explained below.

 

If ya don't like him then suggest a better option.

Not only is he pretty mediocre, but I also feel like he's Crede-esque in terms of consistently being banged up.

 

I have that same feeling.

everybody's got an appropriate value to them. CarGo is better than Avi, I will admit that. Depends what they'd have to give. I like Upton and patchwork the rest. I don't want to trade Quintana or Anderson.

There's just not a ton of great 3B options out there unless ya wana move a bunch of prospects.
