Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 The LA Herald ( I think it was the Herald) floated this today - Ortiz or Washburne for Carlos Lee. This offseason is sucking, but wait until April for the real suckfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I saw that in the L A Daily News. They suggested Ortiz for Lee would be a good match. I wonder what they've been smoking. Here's the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I'm actual a fan of both pitchers, but for Lee? With CF open and both Konerko and Thomas clogging first, I'm not sure it would be smart for them to pull that deal. On the other hand, if the Sox want to compete next season some deal will have to be made. If this is the case though, and the AROD deal falls never turns out, I'd see if I can add Valentin to the deal and grab Eckstein and one of their relievers in return. The pitcher would be Washburn or Ortiz, pending the reliever we get. That is if the Sox were to trade Lee, which I'm not in favor of.

Chisoxfn Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I wouldn't do it for Carlos Lee, although I wouldn't be shocked if there was some sort of deal with the Angels where the Sox took on one of the Angels bad contracts and the Angels took on one of the Sox bad contracts but a productive hitter which is what they are looking for. Konerko could fit in with them, but for that to happen the Sox would have to take on one of their bad deals. It would need some creativity and right now I can't think of a good match. I know Erstad would fit here, but the Angels wouldn't do Konerko for Erstad straight up but I could see something centering on those two.

Guest williestokes Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Well, just looking at last year, Lee was our best hitter while Washburne and Ortiz were mediocre. Id avoid this one folks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 I don't know what else could be put together, but Lee for either of those pitchers would really suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
