santo=dorf Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I believe this was a rumor started by Will Carroll and the New York press is on it, but Bruce Levine shot it down during the 9 o'clock hour on ESPN radio. Would you trade Garcia for Sheff + cash and put Gary in LF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Some questions to be asked from this; Who's going to leadoff for you if you acquire Sheffield? Does that mean you have to sign a Pierre or Roberts to play CF. That means that there's no spot open for both Anderson and Sweeney, something which I'm not a fan of. Will Sheffield behave without a new contract? Very doubtful. And considering how KW wants to acquire "clubhouse" guys, it's not a good fit. Why trade Freddy for a power hitting OF, when you could get good young starting pitching (which is probably one of our main needs right now) in return for him?

Texsox Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Sure I would do it, in a heartbeat, and without any hesitation, laughing all the way and wondering if the Commissioner would allow it to go through. If I was the Yankees! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHITESOXRANDY Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I don't believe that KW and Ozzie would pick up Sheff if he came FREE - no trade and no salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you trade Garcia for Sheff + cash and put Gary in LF? It could be tempting, but I'd still want to know what we did about the leadoff situation. Plus I'd want some serious cash in return and an upper echelon prospect (the Yanks have a few of them now). Lets me preface this by saying I'm a huge Sheffield fan. That said I'd still have serious concerns and I think there are better trades out there. And no way would I make this deal straight up.

Than again so could the Sox/Yankees. I should point something out. What if Crede is going to be moved and Sheffield is the bat that replaces Joe while the team than goes and makes other moves and uses Crede to get a leadoff hitter and loads of prospects. I'm not saying I have any logic to this yet, but throwing out reasons why we could potentially make the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Because a deal is in place this early it almost makes me believe it's the Sox. I just can't see Kenny pulling a deal on Sheff though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 With Dye likely to regress and injury/age concerns with Thome, I would hope the Sox pick up a hitter of Sheff's caliber. I'm not sure if Sheffield is that guy, but I wouldn't dismiss this as easily as some here. I certainly wouldn't do it for Freddy... perhaps Buehrle, but not Freddy.
