Dream Scenario


Chisoxfn

Recommended Posts

Sox Acquire: Tim Hudson, Carlos Delgado, Nomar Garciapara

 

How: Three way deal with Konerko going to Pitt, Kendall and cash going to Oakland and Huddie coming to the SouthSide.

 

The Sox then sign Delgado to like a 2 yr 16 mill deal with some option years. They then sign Nomar to a 1 yr 7 mill deal.

 

Payroll wise it would essentially fit right into that so called 75 mill payroll. Only weakness this team would have would be the bullpen.

 

But could you imagine:

Hudson

Buehrle

Garcia

Contreras

Garland

 

Harris

Nomar

Lee

Delgado

Thomas

Rowand

Everett/Gload

Crede

Davis/Burke

The one hole I can punch in your theory...

 

The pirates would be better off if they just traded Kendall for Hudson straight up...  More salary relief, and probably a more valuable player than Konerko.

Damn, that Konerko for Kendall for Hudson deal was kind of mine from the start...with that crazy trade idea.

 

But I had never thought about that. That is probably true. That would throw a kink into the deal big time. You'd undoubtedly have to sweeten the deal quite a bit for Pittsburgh to make that move...perhaps having something arranged prior to the trade that would then send Konerko to like Baltimore or Arizona or something similar to that.

Time for a dose of reality.

 

-Aquire Kendall through either PK or Garland (not both)

-Sign Jeff Nelson

-Trade PK for a front-line starter (A's, Yanks, Randy)

-Aquire a IF/OF Utility guy off the scrap-heap

 

That would be a fantastic off-season for a team utilizing Reinsdorfian baseball practices.

In my opinion we have a solid team.

My dream scenario would include us signing Derek Lowe which would give us a rotation of:

Buherle

Garcia

Lowe

Contreas

Garland

You cannot tell me that wouldn't be one of the most solid 1-5's in baseball and would be alot cheaper then any RJ deal.

 

Plus trading Konerko for some kind of a RF (Reggie Sanders maybe from the Cards) and signing a decent 1B (Gload is more valuable off the bench).

 

Then we need a setup man.

Plus i'd want to sign a decent backup utility infielder to backup Harris and Uribe.
