JDsDirtySox Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 The Score just said the Sox are talking with the Yankees about sending Schoenwies and Loaiza. Who the Sox would be getting was not mentioned. If this is true... my guess is it includes Contreras and Lofton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Dude what the hell?? I'll just have to laugh at that. Why would we trade TWO of our SP's; we don't have much as it is. I'm laughing at the idea, not your post BTW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wedge Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I could sort of see this trade happening, actually. The Sox were close to getting Contreras earlier in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 That trade sucks, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 It was Contreras and Proctor. Supposedly, Contreras wouldn't waive his no trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 well, i wouldn't mind diaz at 5, he can't be anyworse than schoenweis, granted, scho scho had a good outing last night. What ever, i don't like kenny lofton...of course, that might not be part of this. I say, we ask back for A-rod...if they don't roll on the floor laughing, i say, they are interested, then BAM, make them pay the salary and the deals done.

reesdi Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 The Score just said the Sox are talking with the Yankees about sending Schoenwies and Loaiza. Who the Sox would be getting was not mentioned. If this is true... my guess is it includes Contreras and Lofton. Contreras has an ace's upside. Neither Show, nor (velocity-less) Esteban can claim that at this point. If the rumor has any validity to it, clearly the Sox would be banking on Contreras to flourish under Coop, and on Diaz to improve on the 6.50 that Schoeneweiss posted since like early June. Big risk, bigger reward. Loften would be huge as long as he stays healthy. I could live with his defense in CF if it means him and Willie are 1-2 in the line-up against righties - check out their OBP against them. Hopefully another bat would be added before the waiver deadline. Somebody along the lines of Burnitz or Cruz, Jr. Or maybe Catalonato to DH for us if Everett can't get over the latest injury and Frank is not back by late August, which he won't be. Then again, this trade ain't happening, so yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I'd do Contreras for Loaiza straight up - I dunno about Schoney in there... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 If they throw in Vasquez/or Brown (Mussina) instead of Lofton, then we'll talk.. I don't mind Contreras though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 It sounds like Scott wasn't involved in the trade and good thing too. If we were going to trade for 2 starting pitchers, we had better get back 2 pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were going to trade for 2 starting pitchers, we had better get back 2 pitchers. I don't know if you noticed, but Schoeneweiss has been TERRIBLE in quite a while. He will be much better as a long man out of BP who would fill in the Sean Lowe role if need be. A pitcher like him could really benefit from a few extra mph on his pitches as well as from hitters only seeing him once. That means Felix Diaz better be ready. His fastball, change and slider are all better than Scott's. Control is key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
