spawn Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Jeez Kenny. You've made some great moves the last couple of years. But if true, this one I just don't get. Soriano is not a leadoff hitter. And Pods is not a centerfielder. Please let this all be a rumor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 We're essentially moving starters #6 and #8 from our organization. Well, Brandon should be starter #4, but that's different. We better be getting some goddamn good talent in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 IMO this would be a terrible trade. We're slowly becoming the Yankees. Building the best line-up 1-9 does not win World Series Championships. Pitching is our biggest weakness and giving up our best major-league ready "prospect" for a 3 month rental is not a smart move. Here's to hoping that IF this is true that Kenny will turn around and deal Soriano to another team for a top SP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Interesting Id really want to keep mccarthy, but i trust kws decision if we pull the trigger. Macdougal is a shock he has some potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I have a decent source but last time I put some stuff on the board I got slammed, but I do occassionally get info, and I was told and fathom can back me up on this because I told him in a PM that Soriano's price is going to include McCarthy. I think its a mistake, but it would make the White Sox offense one of the best in major league history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juevos Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! i think soriano is a very good player.. but this is NOT what we need. as much as he has improved on his defense, he's still a liability (not that pods is playing any better this year). if we trade bmac, we have no chance of landing a top reliever since we can no longer trade garcia/vasquez. and bmac's gonna be a stud. DON'T DO IT KENNY! even if we can turn around and trade soriano for a top notch SP, what team(s) come to mind that is in the market for soriano that has a top notch SP?

Wow this trade would be pretty big....so what are you saying this leads us to a Soriano for A Rod trade? Wouldn't that be funny if that trade happened again.....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Soriano might not be the classic leadoff guy but his OBP is higher than Pods' and he only has 4 or 5 less steals. And he's only a couple short of Thome in the HR dept. I think he would enjoy hitting at USCF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason I've posted the story is because I've heard the same rumor around noon today from a close family friend, a member of the Minnesota sports print media. Thinks Podsednik would be involved in this deal one way or another and Soriano would have to agree to at least negotiate an extension with the White Sox.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) Ha, Bmac better not be going anywhere. You also have to note the fact that KW said no one from the big league club is going anywhere. Especially with the fact that KW has been really focused on getting a mix of talent, young and veterans, for the future, I doubt he deals bmac.

I agree with Pods not being a CF, but look at Sorianos OBP, his steals, his BA and then compare them to Pods and tell me how he is not a leadoff hitter. He is a leadoff hitter who can crush the ball. I dont see how Iguchi would ever see a curveball for the rest of the year. Sandwiched between Soriano and Thome. The only one I dont want to give up on these deals is Bmac. Broadway, Fields they are prospects. Bmac has some major league experience and will allow us to get rid of one of our expensive pitchers in the offseason.

AbeFroman Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 No world series was ever one by the having a decent long relief guy come out of the bullpen... Having a guy who can lead off, steal, and hit home runs.... that works pretty well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 So if this is a prelude to a bigger the trade, perhaps we might deal him off to other teams looking at him such as the Mets, Yanks, Angels. All of those teams have some solid spects. Then I would take a wild guess one of our pitchers is thrown in with him and we would get some bullpen help and a starter or two. But im just throwin out ideas right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 (edited) i dont like trading pitching, but that would a one hell of an offensive jugernut. Im gonna miss Bmac. I like that kid, hes a good player. Edited July 24, 2006 by GoSox05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
