Marty34 Posted June 2, 2009 Author Share Posted June 2, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) What if instead of going after a pitcher, KW is trying to acquire a dynamic young outfielder, and will go after Pence with a package of Poreda, Flowers, etc? Have to give up too much for Pence, wouldn't be able to get an arm in July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 He'd be getting Pence for the next 4 years...I don't think KW's going to give up on our young prospects for a one-year rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Well, if we're trading for Tejada we clearly need to clear out some of our middle infield. I propose Getz + Beckham for Tejada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have who they think is their dynamic young OF'er, Danks. Pence would be a luxury, one that would most certainly cost Beckham or Danks.

Pence is the exact name I was thinking. That said, I don't see the Astros giving him up, but I'd definately send a ton of spects for Pence.

knightni Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 QUOTE (RME JICO @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 10:37 AM) So that must mean the Sox are talking to Houston about a positional player. Could it be an Outfielder? Bringing Carlos Lee back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan3530 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I would like pence very much, but yeah not gonna happen. Also, I cant get over how akward he is. Especially when he runs. He looks like he's made of elastic or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pence was the deal breaker that Kenny insisted be in the Garland deal, which is why it fell apart. It wouldn't surprise me if he was sniffing around a guy like that.

daa84 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 remember KW loved pence back in the day....IIRC when the astros traded hirsch and buccholz to the Rockies for Jennings the guy they really wanted was Garland and KW wanted Hirsch buccholz and Pence and the astros said no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that in the Oswalt thread, page 3. This is an easy way to rebuild a farm system and is a guy KW as been looking for, for years.

ILMOU Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 09:11 AM) I thought he was only adequate defensively last year at second too. Though I will say, his arm did allow them to turn a lot of DP's they otherwise would not have, that was a big plus. Well, we can debate how good he's been at SS (considering he's in his first year in MLB at the position, and played mostly OF in Cuba, IMHO he's doing pretty darn well), but my main point is that he's currently the best defensive SS on out team, and in our organization.

elrockinMT Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:33 PM) Why would the Sox have a scout following the Astros when Oswalt isn't pitching? An IF of Konerko, Ramirez, Beckham, and Tejada would be an impressive upgrade. Question is what would it take to get Tejada? I might have agreed with you a couple years ago, but not now. Ramirez is getting raves about his play at SS and Getz handles the glove well as does Nix. I am thinking Beckham fits in either at 2B or 3B soon. Tejada costs too much. Not that he isn't agood ball player it's just we don;t have to spend that kind of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 While on the subject of O's (at one time) IF.... I wonder if Melvin Mora could be a guy we'd look at. Last year of contract (at 9 mil) with an option for '10. Can play 3B. Power down this year, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
