Friend of Nordhagen Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 04:43 PM) Yes, he played LF when they had Lowell. He played quite a bit of RF in 2003. They used Conine in left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 05:52 PM) Cabrera would play LF. If we did this, we'd probably just play Crede at 3b this year, and then let him leave after next season. Remember, if we did this, it's not like Cabrera would blow the budget THIS season. There'd still be money around to possibly acquire a starting pitcher. I disagree. They'd trade Crede, Cabrera at 3B and Quentin in LF.

iamshack Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 04:45 PM) This could very well be a plant...but at least it got me excited today. Saying the halls of the hotel were buzzing at that the team is close to an announcement seems a bit unethical if you are looking to plant misinformation. These people are there. At the hotel. How you could you make that up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanOfCorn Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Any chance that it could be Crede and another prospect instead of Fields??? So, Crede, Gio, Danks or Floyd and another prospect? I really do like Fields and think he could be good (and cheap) for the Sox. Just a thought. If not, then maybe Crede for 2008 and then Cabrera moves to 3B in 2009???

He is a 24 year old HOF candidate, and all indications say he would love to play for the Sox and Ozzie. You get this guy locked up for years, and you have a Frank Thomas type hitter to build around. At least I can guarantee with 100 pct certainty that quickman will agree with this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 I can't imagine we could get this done...no way no how. I can't imagine other teams can't easily eclipsed what the Sox are offering. I'd ... if we could get Cabrera for Fields, Gio, and Floyd. Adding Danks in there instead of Floyd is tough to swallow, but probably still a worthy move.

Gregory Pratt Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 Yeah, that report can't possibly be true. Poorly written and the return sounds like crap. That would baffle me as to why the Marlins would accept that unless everyone else flatly refused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregory Pratt Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 The Santana-Angels stuff is bogus, according to Reagins just now; so I doubt the Angels are moving away and going to allow us to trade for Cabrera with Fields, "Geo" and "right-hander" John Danks.

And how exactly are you looking at what we are supposedly giving up and saying ....hell I will hedge my bets with that because thats what a championship is built around. I like Danks. I like Gio. But those 2 dont scream championship. If we can get this done, and not give up DLS. s*** its a steal. DLS >>>> Danks or Gio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
