beck72 Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Don't know if this has been posted anywhere but the Suntimes had this little piece in the paper today. ******************************************************* DOUG PADILLA-- While one new outfielder just walked in the door, the White Sox could be preparing to say goodbye to another. On the day the Sox announced that Jermaine Dye will take over in right field for Magglio Ordonez, who will depart via free agency, rumors were circulating that left fielder Carlos Lee might be traded as early as this weekend during the annual winter meetings. ******************************************** People know I've talked about trading Carlos before. With Dye on board, a Lee clone, getting a SP or a leadoff man would be a decent move. The question is which teams would have what the sox want, and would need Lee. The A's come to mind, with Hudson available. Sea. could use a big bat like Lee, but don't know who they have the sox could use. Maybe the Marlins [Luis Castillo everyone--though FLA would like Marte] I guess we'll have to see how things pan out, and get some hints by who KW is seen talking to.

CubKilla Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Wouldn't surprise me. For KW to continue to fly under the radar, he's going to have to move salary cause, GOD FORBID, the White Sox actually add considerable (around $10 million) salary over the course of one offseason. If Lee or Konerko are moved, it had better be for a proven, established SP. None of this Todd Ritchie "innings-eater" bulls***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I don't know how I feel about a CLee trade. I remember watching him this year and got the feeling he was turning into a SamMe clone. I got the feeling he was more interested in padding his own stats than getting us back in the division race. Did anyone else get the impression that something changed for the worse for him this year? Like he wasn't as hungry to win? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Hey, it was a long season - and my mind seems a little addled lately. Maybe I'm getting mad cow from the bad italian beef at the Phillies game I went to a couple months ago. I thought it was Carlos, I was thinking of - but then again I got so angry at so many players this year, its hard to keep track. Now you know why I post so infrequently in the on topic message boards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosMediasBlancas Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Let's face it people, KW has said he is pretty much done in the FA market. Any additions will have to come via trade, which would mean losing offense, possibly Carlos, to get pitching or a SS. It's the old plugging one hole and creating a new one.

Like he wasn't as hungry to win? I saw Lee's performance like this .... When Magglio and Frank were healthy, he was trying to use all fields and get on base as often as possible. Hense, the 28 game hitting streak, with only 5 HR thru the first couple of months. After they went down, he started cranking it up because he thought the team needed him to supply more power. No, I don't think Carlos was only concerned with his self interests. I think he was trying to be whatever the team depending on the circumstances.

Dye needs to improve on Lee, and we are marginally ahead. We shouldn't ask Dye to be Maggs. Lee becomes Maggs and he has the talent IMO to do that. We're treading water but not sinking.
