AddisonStSox Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 Levine said Kenny has talked to Arizona and San Francisco about moving Takatsu; called him a non-contributor and said he needs to be moved. Levine thinks Adkins will be brought up eventually. Two situations today: 1) need to re-activate El Duque today 2) Ross Gload's rehab assignment is over today.

I wouldn't be suprised if they got Burnett. I could see where the Marlins would want McCarthy in the deal and KW won't do it, while Orioles are willing to put in their young pitcher Cabrera, that would give them the edge IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I hope the Orioles get Burnett, because the package we are talking about is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY overpaying for a mediocre pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can find a deal, then fine, take it. Not worth overpaying for something we really don't need.

SoxFan562004 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 One of the other threads linked an ESPN article saying it's Julio, Bigbie (sp?) and Penn, so that would definitely mean a Sox offer of Contreras and Marte would have to include McCarthy, but IMO that is WAY too much for Burnett, even if they sign him to an extension (the Orioles would be taking Lowell too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wiling to overpay for a utility infielder and a reliever, not a shady starter Well the Count will get to pitch against Boston. That should be the best barometer for how far he has come. They are a team that absolutely has PWNED him big time and someone we will face in the playoffs possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he having a Konerko-esque fluke bad season, or is something seriously wrong with him and he is not going to be what he was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 (edited) Levine said the Sox would have had to give up 4 players on the current roster for Burnett. Now I ask who? Count (obviously,) Marte (probably,) Crede? Harris? Ozuna? Carl? Way too much for a guy with an average career?

Now I ask who? Count (obviously,) Marte (probably,) Crede? Harris? Ozuna? Carl? Way too much for a guy with an average career? I think the first two for sure, then Crede if the deal involves Lowell, and I would guess Carl or Rowand If a that's the rough sketch of any deal that is WAY to much and I would rather see the Sox wait and see if a few more teams fall out of it before July 31st and open up more names on the market Edited July 18, 2005 by SoxFan562004 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubs Suck23 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 David (Lincoln): Steve, if your in Kenny Williams' position what would you do? The key to the Sox success has been their depth and they have a few players coming back from injuries to help further the depth (Hernandez, Marte, Gload). I guess my view is really only to move unless you see something big because the chemistry on the team has been fantastic. Steve Phillips: (12:28 PM ET ) Williams has done a tremendous job. I have so much appreciation for what he has done. He had a vision, put a plan in place, executed and now they are managing it as good as can be. The White Sox should consider either adding complimentary pieces .. middle relief depth, bat off the bench, etc. ... or a significant, All-Star caliber player .. possibly a closer, like Billy Wagner, if he becomes available. To add any other pieces might be risky. But I think they need to do something. Teams that don't make moves because of chemistry have logic for their plan, but players look around and see other teams getting better. If a team doesn't make a move, the teams feels like everyone is catching up. Even a small move makes you feel like you are moving forward. The only other spot that is a ? is 3B. Joe Randa might be a consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand or Carl is way too much. We need Carl as insurance. We dont need to be in the injury place we were last year. Carl seems fine with his role and gives us a great option.
