Chisoxfn Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) I believe he is actually. Yep, he had a minor rehab stint down in Seattle last year but hasn't pitched extensively since 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny Hates Prospects Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) Hopefully It's Austin Kearns. Actually... I could see this signing as well. I like that idea but I wouldn't want to give Kearns guaranteed money. A split contract would be nice however, or maybe something similar to what the Red Sox did with Smoltz??? where there was a specific date given for the player to be in the Majors, and if he wasn't up by that point the player became a FA.

Lemon_44 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 he would create moe excitement than Vizquel, but i'm hoping for Duscherer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorkChopExpress Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 My guess on the mystery reclamation project is Daniel Cabrera. I believe he is a free agent, although I may be mistaken. He's really struggled lately, being released by the Nationals last year, but he has/had big upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Cabrera, "The Human Cock-tease" would go right along with T-Pain, in terms of guys with flawless stuff and limited ability to control it. That being said, i'm all for it, assuming we give him a dance down in AAA first. The kid's stuff is to live and die for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is injury-prone, but he'd make a great swingman in the bullpen, and there were rumors of KW interest before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princess Dye Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I like the thought of bringing in OV for late game defense...but who does he go in for? OV to 2b and Becks to 3b? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Here's a terrible little tidbit. What if the Sox are signing Vizquel... to start? I wouldn't put it past them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put it past them. Unless you are saying a trade of Beckham or Ramirez is in the works, this makes no sense. It would definitely be past them to start him over either of them - no one would do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
