Princess Dye Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 (edited) Does anyone remember specific trades that were rumored with Fields involved? Back when he was a good piece that is. Kenny at least loved that particular prospect a bit too much. Edited July 21, 2009 by Princess Dye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Was Fields ever a part of the Soriano deal. I know Bmac did, but don't remember Fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Josh Fields for Scott Linebrink was talked about a lot when our bullpen was struggling in 2006-2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 end of 07 was probably absolute peak for Fields Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bschmaranz Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yeah, I'd agree, end of '07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbabins Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i think he might have been one of the centerpieces in the miguel cabrera deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Fields was supposedly the centerpiece, or one of the centerpieces, in the Miguel Cabrera trade. IIRC Gio, Danks, and Sweeney were also involved. In hindsight, the Marlins would have been better off taking the Sox package because Johnny Danks alone is a lot better than anything they got. Glad the Sox didn't offer to take on DTrain though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back when he was a good piece that is. Kenny at least loved that particular prospect a bit too much. Great question. We could do a top 10 list of prospects that Kenny kept, but should have traded when they had value. On the other hand, also a top 10 list of prospects that he dealt to other teams that never worked out for their new teams. I have to think he would come out ahead over all. Another question, what could we get for Fields now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya - I kind of like our return on that one. Most of the other guys listed wouldn't even have been able to net this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
