R.J. Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Talks with the Giants haven't gone well, so the Brewers are now discussing Scott Podsednik with the White Sox. The teams might be discussing trading Podsenik and Keith Ginter for Carlos Lee. The Brewers have room in their budget and they could use a power-hitting outfielder. We don't think the White Sox should be trading for Podsednik when they have a superior center fielder in Aaron Rowand, but they like the idea of adding a leadoff hitter. Dec. 13 - 3:42 am et Maybe it's me, but that would be a disgusting trade. Unless it allows us to sign some explosive pitcher/shortstop, which I don't see how.

MurcieOne Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Do the Brew Crew have any other good pitching on their roster or down on the farm that could help us immediately that they could put in the trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him. Brewers fans are saying it would take lee and a top prospect to just land sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Andy Pratt Hendry :dips*** I wonder if the brew crew would be willing to give up Ben Sheets. They are looking to lock him up for three years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 I might consider Lee and a mid-prospect for Ginter, Podsednik and Luis Visciano (sp?)--the guy who starts for them and was dominate agianst the Cubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bartman's my idol Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Do the Brew Crew have any other good pitching on their roster or down on the farm that could help us immediately that they could put in the trade? Does Jaime Navarro still pitch for the Brewers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 This won't happen until after Dec. 20 in my mind, because the Sox will want to see which players will be non - tendered like Alex Cora. But I definitely don't like the trade, and I think we should look to the Marlins for Juan Pierre or Luis Castillo instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 :puke This would be a flat out awful trade and I'm in the minority here and actually like Pods. The only way the sox should be talking with the brewers about carlos is if sheet is available. Most likely Ben won't be availabe so kenny should just move on to a different team.

easyw Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Lee for Sheets and throw in Ginter or even better, throw in Pods. Now that is a deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Also if the Sox do this, they will have freed up about 6 to 7 mil in salary, and can afford to go after a FA starter like Odalis Perez. Rowand or Podsednik would most likely have to move to LF though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 It sounds like the MIL writer is projecting who they'd like from the sox, as the sox have shown interest in Podsednik. They want a power hitting corner OF, and Lee is their choice, not the Sox. Throwing in Ginter wouldn't add much either. What seems certain is the giants and the sox have shown interest in Podsednik, which is smart for the sox, IMO. Would any sox players fit for them, that the sox could do w/o? Everett, whose $4 mill contract seems like a bargain. A straight swap might be enough. Another option could be Borchard, a proven bullpen arm [as Kolb is gone] like Jon Adkins and a prospect. Lee could be moved. But for far more than what MIL has or seems willing to give up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 can someone give me contrace info for pod and ginter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 can someone give me contrace info for pod and ginter Podsednik made $400,000 last season. But he will make $1,380,000 in the next 2 seasons until 2006. Ginter is signed for $640,000 (the same amount he made this season) for the next 2 seasons also.

chisox2334 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Guys thid deal sounds about right. Kenny always been telling us build team for 2007 and guess what that deal does this. Also sox will get a 5th starter if this happeneds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 The real problem with this deal is Posednik sucks ass. He had one fluke season in the majors like a year ago which he will never come close to repeating and suddenly these GM's are creaming their pants over him. His numbers last year were really what he will do. We would have two years of a guy hitting .240 if we can even though that. Why don't we just put Jose Valentin in the leadoff spot then? Just say NO!

Brian Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 yeah that would be pretty retarded..... I dont think that one is gonna happen unless they throw Ben Sheets in along with him. DING! DING! DING! If we are getting Posednik and Ginter, the most we give up is Garland and a prospect who is not that highly touted. If we give up Carlos Lee, we better be getting Sheets and Pod. If we have to throw something else in, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Like kenny said it frees up money and to due that you have to give up people to do that and who knows maybe sheets will become in deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 Maybe it's me, but that would be a disgusting trade. Unless it allows us to sign some explosive pitcher/shortstop, which I don't see how. It would free up about $6 million in payroll. And for those of you saying Lee for Sheets, come on. Lee alone isn't worth Sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthraxFan93 Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 If we are giving up Lee, then Sheets has to be apart of that deal. You don't give up your best hitting power OF for Spod and a utilty inf. Here is a deal we could live with Juan Piere and Mike Lowell 4 Lee and Pauly Then Sign Delgado to play 1st, and should have enough free money to p/u a starter.

Florida takes on salary in that deal, they're having enough payroll problems as it is. And Delgado ain't gonna come for less than about $12 mil, so that ain't gonna happen. If we free up some payroll, we're goin to sign a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
