JUGGERNAUT Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 If the CWS do what I want then I like the Lee trade. The trade in my mind is Pods+Luis+Perez+Cairo+PTBNL for C Lee. That's a damn good trade! Odaliz Perez tailed off a little last year but still put up solid numbers. He was rumored a lot in CWS trades last year & with a price drop makes sense for the CWS. I believe both Cairo & Perez can be had for what they saved in the Lee trade. Cairo is not great but he is a much more accomplished 2B than Harris. He provides great insurance & competition for Harris at 2B. The minimal requirement for a team to win consistently is to maintain a team OPS of 750+ OPS every month & a team era in the high 3's/low 4's every month. If KW can put together that kind of team they should win the ALC. Having not won the div in 4 yrs, that should be the first & primary goal for the team. Cairo & Perez help mold the SOX into that kind of team. Cairo has far better consistency than Harris at the plate & is less error-prone with the glove as well. Of course Harris has a far better upside potential but we've been saying that for years. That would bring the CWS payroll up to 70M & I think the team owe's the fans that much. If 70M builds you an expected division crown then that's what you should spend. Looking beyond just a division crown, the SOX need to address their biggest weakness: C. T Green's #'s are impressive & should be signable for less than CJ or AJP prices. He only made 550K last year. COL has offered arbit, so Green would cost a draft pick. I'll add the stats for these 3 later. Other names rumored for the SOX: Matt Clement - Matt will have to choose betw money & home. He enjoys Chicago. I think the SOX will go as high as 7/8M a yr, but the BOSOX are now bidding as well. Slim chance. K Millwood - He had a 4.85 era for 11M last yr. No thank you. E. Milton - He had a 4.75 era for 9M last yr. No thank you. PHI did not offer them arbit. D. Lowe - He had a 5.42 era for 5M last yr. BOS offered arbit. I don't see Lowe passing up arbit for anything less than 10/2 yr. If you're going to spend that kind of money on a SP go with the least risk, least cost, best gain: O Perez. He will cost you a draft pick but that's going to the LAD & not the CHC. Hudson has been mentioned in a possible 3 way with Chicago. Garland to OAK, Vazquez to CWS, & Hudson to NYY. There's a few other players but those are the big names. I don't see any sense in doing this when Perez can be signed thru FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/hot...s&teamPosCode=4 This is a good link to keep track of FAs. My CWS Christmas list. better not dissapoint me Odaliz Perez - LHSP, 5M 3.25 era. LAD offered arbit. VS. LEFT: .277 / .801 VS. RIGHT: .241 / .680 HOME: .238 / .681 AWAY: .259 / .732 Features a low 90's fastball-slider with a solid changeup & curve. He keeps the ball down most of the time. He's easy to run on, but I think Ozzie can help him there. A better than average defender. He was healthy last yr & threw 196+ inn. Todd Greene - RHC, 600K, COL offered arbit. 282BA, 10HR, 35RBI VS. LEFT: .366 / 1.155 VS. RIGHT: .234 / .646 HOME: .299 / .915 AWAY: .261 / .733 I'm just looking for an improvement over Davis & Burke & this guy is clearly it. Should be signable for a few million a year. About 1/2 the price of AJP or a CJ. Miguel Cairo - RH2B, 900K, NYY declined arbit. 292BA, 6HR, 42RBI VS. LEFT: .336 / .822 VS. RIGHT: .267 / .730 HOME: .319 / .836 AWAY: .262 / .682 Again I'm just looking for an improvement over Harris & this guy is it. Should be signable for a million a yr. About a 1/4th of the price of Polanco. A good fastball hitter w decent speed, good range, & good instincts. His versatility makes him a good choice for a utility player in both the IF & OF. Rotation: Buerhle, Garcia, Perez, Contreras, Garland Bullpen : Schow/Adkins/young-gun, Politte, Vizcaino, Hermannson, Marte, Shingo Lineup : Pods, Uribe, Thomas, Koney, Dye, Rowand, Crede, Greene, Harris. Bench : Davis, Cairo, Everett, Gload, Burke/Sweeney Cairo is a perfect fit for the utility guy, Gload can play 1B or RF, so the SOX can either go with 3 C's or another backup OF. Given the weakness in their C depth they might be best off going with 3 C's. I think this team can win the ALC & compete in the post-season. To be a favorite to win in the post-season you probably need to replace Harris with Polanco & Garland with Vasquez. Those deals are possible but it would boost the payroll to the mid-high 70 range. That's heart attack territory for JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Ok, bear with me here. About a half hour ago Q101 reported(Yes, the alternative rock station ) that they were the first to bring us an story. They went on to say that the Yanks have officially gotten Randy Johnson. Now I was going to give tjhis its own thread, but then I considered the source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JUGGERNAUT Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 The RJ deal is falling apart. Both LAD & AZD want NYY to throw in more cash. LAD lost Beltre the the M's tonight. Beltre signed a 65/5 deal with the M's. The M's recently signed Sexson to a 50/4 deal as well. This may cause LAD to re-think trading S Green who has vocally said he's not interested in a trade & has no intention of waiving his no trade clause.
