Southside hitmen Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 On the A's fan board it mention that Rosenthal reported that the Sox are talking trade with Oakland about Eric Chavez for a Joe Crede and a top minor leaguer.. As anyone heard about this... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iguana Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 interesting. depends on the minor leaguer. as long as it's not Honel, Mac, Anderson, Sweeney....i'm probably forgetting a few other studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 That has got to be BS. The Sox can't be looking at trading starters right now, and especially for picking up that much salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I don't buy what a guy at an A's board says but if Rosenthal said it, I'd believe it. Rosenthal is about the only guy that has been spot on with his rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaCWS Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I'm sure this rumor is BS... but as long as we're not giving up pitching, I would do what it takes to get Chavez. If that means Crede + Anderson or Sweeney + another (non-pitching) prospect, I do it in a heartbeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southside hitmen Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Im just going to assume that we get Chavez our lineup would look awesome 1 Pods 2 Iguchi 3 Chavez 4 Konerko 5 Thomas 6 Rowand 7 Dye 8 AJ 9 Uribe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Controlled Chaos Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Man..Id like Chavez, but I'd hate to alter the makeup of this team. Anybody know how Joe is in the clubhouse. Is he well liked..out going..or does he kinda keep to himself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 (edited) Honel??? Lol...he is always hurt! If the A's trade a franchise player like Chavez, it won't be for Joe Crede and Kris Honel... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed, it would probably take Crede, Anderson OR Sweeney (OBP guys that Beane loves), and a pitching prospect to net Eric Chavez, even with him in a Dye-like slump. I could definately see Beane shopping Chavez though. The A's aren't going anywhere this season and Beane could be looking to free up money for the future.

kapkomet Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 IF this is true and I don't think it is, it's Crede and BMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I would love to see Chavez on the SouthSide...but it will cost a ton to get him and probably wouldn't be worth it...I would bet they'd want more like Crede and Bmac....or Anderson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the minor leaguer was Honel I wouldnt even think twice about this trade... But in all reality I don't really see this happening. Isn't Joe a FA after the season as well? So basically the A's would be trading Chavez for the one minor league prospect...well I guess that could happen???? But dont forget folks: Chavez this year .205/.272/.321 with 4 HR's and 17 RBI's He hasn't exactly been tearing the cover off the ball. Will he end up hitting? Most likely...but this isnt near as good as it sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As anyone heard about this... Haven't heard any news related to this rumor. But if Beane is truly conjuring up trade proposals with Williams, and I'm Kenny, I'd be very careful. Apparently, the Overlord of baseball transactions can do no wrong. No need to rehash concepts detailed in Moneyball. I'll also feel its necessary to take advantage of this thread to laugh at Oakland's mediocrity. Beane supporters, nothing should warm your hearts more than this wonderfully insightful article written several days ago in the Boston Globe. Enjoy. http://www.boston.com/sports/nesn/wilbur/s.../blog/05_17_05/ Edited May 19, 2005 by Flash Tizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Why would Oakland trade Chavez if he just signed a 6 yr deal <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, they suck right now but will probably be good in the future with their young talent. Maybe Beane wants to dump his contract so he can clear up some money for the future? Here's the thread from the MLB.com A's board... "Eric Chavez to the Whitesox?" http://www.forums.mlb.com/n/mb/message.asp...g=36586.1&ctx=0 Keep in mind it's a MLB.com board and they are filled with lying trolls.

Jabroni Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I would move Uribe over to 3rd base <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I doubt they would do that. Uribe is fine at 3rd base but I don't think they would go with a guy who isn't a "true 3rd baseman" for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
