ptatc Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Hopefully it's something of significance. I'm going to bet it's not Furcal. One site said that the A's are offering a 4 year deal. I would go near him for that length of a deal and his injury history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunk23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ben Sheets? That would be nice. He would hit the DL around the time Jose comes off it. As long as it's not Willy T I'll be happy. Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox It To Em Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) I think you'll see a signing by the Sox by thursday at the latest. This excited me at first... until I realized it's probably Willy T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisox2334 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 just reading what rock says and when he says the words " depends on your definition of significance"... You would hear rumblings or some sort if it was a major impact name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunk23 Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 You clearly don't know how KW operates if you expect to hear rumblings before a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 QUOTE (chunk23 @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 12:11 AM) You clearly don't know how KW operates if you expect to hear rumblings before a move. Apparently there is still a mystery team for Furcal, over at mlbtraderumors.com. I have no idea if its us, doesnt make sense in a lot of ways, but does at the same time. He would fill the SS/2nb/CF base dilemma and leadoff spot yet KW says Alexei is the SS, and that the payroll is already over budget. Signing Furcal does open a lot of options though, do you keep Alexei at 2nd, or do you move him to CF and put Getz at 2nd, or put Anderson in CF? Lots of options, but I dont see a four year deal for him from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitlesswonder Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I would guess the signing would be Taveras. It sounds like the Sox would get outbid on D. Cabrera (which is fine), with 11 teams expressing interest. If you take Kenny at his word, they are currently over budget (presumably with Jenks arb raise factored in). Even a minor signing like Taveras at $3M forces Dye or Jenks to be traded. Given that, I'll be very surprised if the Sox make any significant FA signings season given their financial situation.
