CWSGuy406 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 04:04 AM) I'm definitely not opposed to Baldelli, but I'm not about to trade Dye for him nor am I about to say that Dye won't be back with the organization. In fact, I think the odds of Dye returning are about 50/50 and I even feel the same way about Buehrle/Iguchi. My Dye to LAAAA for Saunders, Saunders + prospects for Baldelli is clearly a pipe dream. I have one hope this offseason -- that the Sox go full out after A-Rod if he becomes a FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 09:03 PM) Not really. When he started hitting well in the second half -- and it was clear his defense was helping the pitchers -- he was still platooned. Thats cause at that point he had already buried himself and while I realize his average improved, all you had to do was watch the games to realize his approach and swing were still god awful.

beautox Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:06 PM) Screw Jones. Get Ichiro. That fits a need more than Jones does. He can leadoff. He is a hard guy to strikeout. He hits lefties as well as righties. He can steal. And he plays good defense with a great arm. we've been competitive with a maso menos lead off man for two years now, 3 won't kill us, we need to keep the production in the heart of our order up Thome, Konerko, Jones thats a stacked 3-4-5. all the while playing GG defense at a premium position. a defensive OF of Erstad/Jones/Sweeney is going to help our pitching staff out alot.

I have one hope this offseason -- that the Sox go full out after A-Rod if he becomes a FA. I'll say one thing, if the Angels don't finally get off there asses and acquire a bat I may officially protest them. Stoneman has continued to be an absolute moron and he's refused to give up any kids in order to protect these team for the future. However, during that entire span he's had a team thats a bat away from potentially winning another world series and the longer he waits the lesser the chance of something like that happening. This year the Angels have a loaded rotation, a deep pen and they have a nice influx of young players/veterans in the lineup but they still lack that major bat to put with Vladdy. If they weren't willing to give up Saunders and a couple prospects they'd be absolutely morons. Quite frankly that woudln't be enough to convince me to move Dye. My price would start at Weaver or Santana (and I realize there are some injury concerns with Weaver and obviously Santana has struggled on the road but I don't care, he's got a far better up and much more upside than Saunders) and I'd also demand Figgins (this is mainly because I absolutely love Figgy) and a prospect. There is no reason the Angels shouldn't overpay to get a bat like Dye's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC they did. Anderson looked just as bad at the end of the season as he did at the beginning of the season (his avg was better and I do happen to think given how bad Mack was in CF that he should have still been playing, but this year Erstad is as good defensively, if not better, and offensively he's a far better player). Its one of the reasons the Sox were quietly looking for CF's all off-season. In fact I'm quite surprised nothing happend with Tampa or Milwaukee considering the Sox were constantly in talks with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
