Pedro Lopez acquired by the Reds

Still kind of odd that the Sox have not made an official announcement of the move. They must be waiting until they make their other move before doing it. Also, there is no reason just to leave a 40-man spot open "just in case" so something has to be coming soon.

 

I say Craig Wilson or Bret Prinz.

Lidge and Burke for Crede and Anderson. I'd like to see that deal, even though I'm sure many on here would hate it.

 

I'd make that trade in a heartbeat. I'm absolutely sure the Astros wouldn't. Burke is under control cheaply for years and despite being sent down is still Biggio's heir apparent/

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more I'm against it. Lidge has to be close to a big payday soon.

 

Lidge is a FA after 2008. Why would you be against the trade? Crede has a bad back and 1 year max left with the Sox. Anderson is done in Chicago. The Sox wouldn't give up much and they would get a youngish 2B to takeover for Iguchi and possibly leadoff and Lidge gives them the flexibility to make another deal.

Houston and the White Sox could make tremendous bed fellows as they both are in the thick of it and a bold move could help them greatly.

 

If Houston wanted Crede which I doubt, what would they do with Ensberg? I could see Lidge for McDougal (prior to his last couple of outings that is) and another prospect, maybe Logan.

Obviously I wouldn't mind getting rid of MacDougal about now, but moving a lefty who throws 93-95 pretty consistently, I'm not ready to go there yet.

 

I think Logan will come around in time, and we definitely need him as insurance, because it looks as if Sisco's future is in the starting rotation for Charlotte or Birmingham.

Just FYI.

First baseman Craig Wilson has cleared waivers and is now a free agent.

 

Wilson is available for any team to sign at the Major League Baseball's minimum salary of $380,000. The Pirates are among several teams that will likely have interest in adding the bargain bat.

Say what you want about Crede's injury, and impending departure from the ballclub, but he's still a gold glove 3b and one of the top hitters in MLB with RISP. I don't think Lidge's value, to our team anyways, even approaches Joe's.
