CubsSuck1 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 What are some teams that will be sellers at the trade deadline that would give away some good players, esp. pitchers, for minimal in return? I think we could get a couple good players still for a few prospects, and not mess too much with our ML roster. I'd like another starter. I don't think Shoe is going to be durable enough down the stretch, and I'd like too see how he fares in the pen as a high-pressure mid to long relief guy. That is, if he stops whining like a b**** about it. We could get a #4(?) starter, someone at maybe around Garland talent level, or maybe even a little bit better, and righty setup man. Which would give us DOMINANT staff: Buehrle Garcia Loaiza (Trade) Garland Shingo Marte (Trade) Adkins Shoeneweis (?) Cotts/Politte As far as position players, we have a very sticky situation. Timo and Rowand have both been SOLID, and you still have to fit in Harris if hes not at 2nd. Then there is Lee and Maggs(who know what will happen with Maggs). Gload can play there if needed, but he'll be better at 1st. Rowand was so amazing back in 2001, but he had to get on his motorbike or whatever and get crazy, and he hasn't been the same defensively since then. He's great, don't get me wrong, but we might want top move him and a prospect or two for a lefty bat. I'm not sure of all the teams that are selling, but like last year, we can take advantage of their misfortune, and maybe get them to pay for parts of salaries.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 No way do we trade Rowand... The only trade we need is Maggs for Jones/Ortiz..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big backer of Maggs for Jones/Ortiz...but the White Sox NEED another bridge man to Damaso and Shingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
