    Crede close to going to Brewers

    I think this move of Konerko and putting Fields at 1B make more sense then some of the stuff we have been hearing. I like PK a lot, but I think losing Crede and putting Fields at 3B is areal downgrade defensively.

     

    Fields is way too good of an athlete to put at 1B.

    Do we need a philosophical change?

    Saying that Dontrelle who had a bad season is done as a pitcher is nonsensical as well. Do you realize that left handed pitchers who have had success in the NL might attract an offer or 2.

     

    Eh I think Dontrelle is done as a starter myself. I really like Dontrelle, but his off-speed (his slider) has gone to hell because he's had arm problems.

     

    I see D-Train being lightning in a bottle until about May 15th.....then AL teams will have a couple looks at his freaked up wind-up and teams will hit him.

     

    I watched D-Train late last year and he was throwing like 86.

    Get Cabrera then trade Willis if you want that is not a valid excuse sorry KW, 2 more specs that are low rated anyway who cares spin the wheel make the deal! :gosoxretro:

     

    Whoever got D-Train is stuck with him. D-Train is damaged goods and will only be a LR guy for the rest of his career.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I love what Detroit did...but they didn't get Miggy for free.

     

    If people want to hate Kenny, I'm cool with that. Just hate him for things he's said about Frank Thomas and his personality around other personnel and people in baseball. Don't hate him for not getting Miggy because he didn't have much control of that.

    If anyone here isn't familiar with me yet- I hate Kenny Williams. Not so much for his baseball savvy, but because he's an arrogant assclown.

     

    With that being said, KW's off-season has been fine. Not getting Hunter for all those bucks was a blessing in disguise. We have a SS that we can go to war with every day in OC and people will love that trade more and more as next season goes forward.

     

    KW still has work to do, but regardless of people saying we could've gotten Miggy....that's nuts. I firmly believe we weren't going to have gotten him for our top 5 young players.

     

    If KW still gets a "Big Fish" like a Bedard or Haren (I'm totally just dropping names here and there is nothing to it but my own speculation) this off-season may not have been so terrible.

     

    KW......you're ok with me as of now. Just keep your cool.

    Rowand offered 4 yrs/55 million from Sox

    I'd like to trade for Bedard, too, but we don't have anyone they'd want. ARow back? Why not? Exciting? No.

     

    I understand that it's totally unrealistic, but KW talked about being realistic. Rowand worth 55 mil over 4 years? That doesn't sound like being realistic to me.

     

    Hopefully KW just keeps his cool about losing his top two targets and realizes he can still have a quality off-season. I believe he will and not lose his mind and give in to what Rowand wants.

    What would you rather see them do? Not trying to be obnoxious, I'm just curious. What is your preference of those players available for CF at this point?

     

    Aaron Rowand is a solid player and I like him, but I'd rather see us throw those millions anywhere else.

     

    I'd rather see us deal for Bedard and extend him with some of that money (I know it absolutely won't happen).

     

    I'd rather see us go that route and throw mega bucks that way. I understand that would be that much more costly with having to deal a Danks/Gio and others to get a guy like that- but I'd rather throw mega dollars a guy like that rather than Rowand.

    Tigers in Miggy Mix

    If this is the best trade proposal the Marlins got, what the hell were the other teams offering? I honestly think the Sox could have got Miguel and Dontrelle for better talent than the Tigers gave up.

     

    :pray Tell me this didn't happen!

     

     

    Miller and Maybin are better prospects than anything we have. That's not a cheap shot on our farm system considering Maybin and Miller are both two of the better prospects in the game.

     

    Add in the fact that the Tigers have thrown in 4 other prospects on this and the Marlins did pretty well for themselves.

    Steve Phillips was just on OTL and said that the talks with the Angels have momentarily broken down. He said the Tigers are now in discussion with the Marlins in a deal not only for Miggy but for Dontrelle Willis as well.

     

    The Tigers are supposedly offering Andrew Miller and Cameron Maybin (probably a few other prospects) for Miggy and Dontrelle.

    Sox Acquire Carlos Quentin for Chris Carter; DFA Heath Phillips

    We have 5 guys of Danks quality (Danks, Gio, Broadway, Egbert, Floyd) no real need to have 6.

     

    I don't think there is anything wrong with adding another guy like that. All it does is give the coaching staff another option and another look this coming Spring.

     

    With only having Javy and MB as strong holds in the rotation beyond next year...we're going to need all the options we can get.

    On the CLTV Sports Round Table last night Bob Sokamato (sp?) predicted and and it was a pure guess------

     

    Konerko for Weaver or Santana and Figgins again he was only guessing but I think he may have some decent insite if he was going to make a preditction.

     

    I think Owings is really overrated and that deal I am not quite sure on as I think you should get better value for Konerko.....Orlando Hudson?

     

    Hudson is a big reason as to why Webb has had the success he's had. I've had Webb the past two years in fantasy baseball and God bless the MLB Package....I've been able to see almost every game. Webb has become a great pitcher, but it's no coincidence he's taken the next step with a 2B being able to take away ground ball base hits away to the right side like that. Right handers really can't inside-out Webb very much anymore.

     

    As good as P-Ko is.....they wouldn't deal Hudson for him.
