maggsmaggs Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 good point, maybe a mod can fix it to make all of the above and more options. Good point Reddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I don't think we can even answer this. There may be players that justify moving one prospect or another. However, out of the blue like this, I don't want to see any of them leaving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 One of the outfielders. It is much, much easier to get OFs vs Pitching, and I don't like giving it away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think we need Sweeney's bat eventually, and I think its bad timing for Brian to be this good right now, when there isnt room for him for at least a year. Trade him, and Trade BMAC, the rest, no way. Gio WILL be a better pitcher than BMAC some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 We have proven for over a decade now that we are a quality organization when it comes to producing thumping OFers. That puts Anderson & Sweeney at the top of the list IMO. On the flip side we have traded high & wide for pitching & have little to show for it. That only increases BMac's value to the WSox.

go-sox05 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I would trade all those guys to get Jose Valentin back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I honestly think Anderson is going to be a victim of bad timing, he is ready now, will be ready next year, and there is no starting job for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted June 6, 2005 Author Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think Kenny will trade Anderson b/c we have Jermaine this year and next, Pods and Rowand will definately back next year. So there would be no room for Anderon. I wouldn't even mind it that much since we still have Owens, Sweeney and Young. Anderson and Crede with maybe some other lower level prospects could net Baez and Huff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHAFTR Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 At this point, Brandon McCarthy. He is considered one of the top 15 prospects in the league right now. If he turns into an Ace, then we traded away an ace for a high quality player (as I'm guessing we would be doing). If he turns out to be a solid #3 starter or worse, than we traded him away at his peak trade value. I'm guessing this would be the case.

Balta1701 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think a much more valuable poll question would be "Who would you NOT trade to upgrade at the deadline". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetsy Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I voted Sweeney. He's more upside (risk) than performance at this point. He might bite you in the ass, but he also might not develop any power and become a .290/.340/.400 guy that isn't worth wasting a corner outfield spot on. Anderson, I think, is a major league ready player. I'd personally rather have him on the roster than Dye, but that's not going to happen. McCarthy just needs to resolve his dinger problem - not sure what that relates to - and he's a top of the rotation starter. Those are rare and must be preserved at all costs. Gio Gonzalez is just too incredible at this point to even think about trading. He could be better than McCarthy. You can't even think about trading him until you see what he does in AA to know what he's got. Speaking of which, wasn't McCarthy moved up to Winston-Salem by about this point last year?

nitetrain8601 Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 If this was my team, all of them are touchable for the right price. The least guy I want to trade is Gio Gonzalez. He'll be better than BMac IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Anderson is the most likely to go guys. He is major league ready, which is a major requirement of getting a high priced arm or bat near the deadlline. Did you think it was Miggy who got the deal done for freddy or was it our major league ready OF prospect Reed. Sweeney will be ready in 07. Which Ironically enough is when Dye 's contact is up. He has a sweet swing and we are getting away from the home runs. Plus Ozzie loves Sweeney ever since last years ST. Pods in CF, Arow in RF and Sweeney in LF will probably be what it is in 07.
