Dam8610 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Okay, don't flame me for this, this is not a rumor, this is not something I think will happen (so please spare me the "get off the XBox" comments), this is something I'm looking for advice on. If offered this deal, would you take it (assuming financial constraints were not a concern)? Toronto gets: LHSP Aaron Poreda LHSP Clayton Richard 3B Dayan Viciedo RHSP Dexter Carter 1B Lars Anderson (from Boston) Chicago gets: SP Roy Halladay 3B Mike Lowell (would move to 1B) RF Alex Rios 3B Scott Rolen Boston gets: 1B Paul Konerko OF Tyler Kuhn Edited July 22, 2009 by Dam8610 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are also taking on an insane amount of payroll so I'd hope they'd be getting 40M in cash or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox are also taking on an insane amount of payroll so I'd hope they'd be getting 40M in cash or so. See, I knew Lowell was on the DL, but I also did a little bit of research before posting this and found an article dated just a week ago that said he could return to Boston's lineup soon. Should I take that to be false then? EDIT: Also, in this scenario, Boston does not have LaRoche, and financial constraints are not a concern, so the insane amount of payroll doesn't really matter.

Boston gets totally hosed in the deal and somehow we end up with a ridiculous amount. First - I know the Jays are desperate to move salary but they don't need to move all of it. Secondly - we couldnt afford all of that. Thirdly - they wouldn't even take that package for Halladay. Including the random Lars Anderson addition. So to add rios and rolen. Doubt it - dumping salary or not. Fourth - We couldnt get Anderson from them for Konerko + something. Fifth - Lowell would be a silly addition to the Sox to play first because there is no reason to remove Pods from the lineup. He has played very well for us. Which would mean you would be moving Dye to first I'd presume and Quentin or Rios to RF. Lots of wholes in the idea. I'm not flaming you. Just way too lopsided for us. Toronto gives up waaay too much without getting enough in return - even if they are dumping money. Boston gets next to nothing. Although - Kong in their park would be fun but no one thinks he is worth what we do. If they did - we would've had Ervin + Kendrick + Figgins or whatever rumors always swirled with him.

Chisoxfn Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If money isn't a factor than the Sox are basically getting all stars for each prospect dealt. Boston gets totally screwed giving up Lars and Lowell for PK. If money was a factor than Toronto would be doing incredibly well as they'd get Halladay and Rios contract off there books and get a lot of talent and I mean a lot. Chicago would be doing the worse because they'd be taking on a lot of contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the lead offer for Halladay before the addition of Anderson, they're looking for power hitting corner IFs, and they want to dump Rolen. Boston came to me with the offer of Anderson and Lowell for Konerko and Kuhn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case you haven't figured it out, this is in a game where each person controls a team and can trade players as they see fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Okay, I've split out the thread. I called it fantasy because this is much more like a Fantasy Sports Trade than a real trade and I want real trade discussion in our thread. Once you see this Dam, let me know, and I'll move it over to the Fantasy Forums where people can continue to discuss it there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
