knightni Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Tonight is the start of a stretch of great baseball - I can just feel it! Let's get that DH, a stud 3B, and a LH reliever and take this division! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 I recommend Jorge Cantu as a possible option. He's a butcher but can hit like no one's business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 How are we going to trade for said stud players? We don't have many guys with legit trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share Posted May 22, 2010 Ideally, you'd trade for Aramis Ramirez and Adam Dunn. But, Cantu would be cheaper and can play at 3B or 1B if needed. This is mostly a positive thinking thread. I'll leave the "how" of the acquisitions to KW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHITESOXRANDY Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I'd take Uribe at third base in a heartbeat...I'd also take him at 2B as well. Yeah, but somehow if he were playing here he'd be hitting .188 with a .229 OBP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we got Teahen, I wanted to have him as a super-sub, and resign Uribe for third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chetkincaid Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Has anyone heard anything from Joe Crede lately? Good God how cool would it be to have the Joe Crede from 2006 on this team right now... Maybe he'll have a sort of rebirth like Pods did last year. I know it's wishful thinking but oh well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good God how cool would it be to have the Joe Crede from 2006 on this team right now... Maybe he'll have a sort of rebirth like Pods did last year. I know it's wishful thinking but oh well... I think he's basically assumed to be out. No one around MLB is even typing his name as an option. Last thing out there including his name was a Gonzalez mailbag from a week ago. I'm not anti-Mark Teahen but he's not the best fielder I've ever seen. Will we see more Jayson Nix? (Is Joe Crede still an option?) David Kuechel, Rio Rico, Ariz. There are plenty of people who agree with your assessment of Teahen. I think it's time to give Jayson Nix more of an opportunity elsewhere. I know he's a reserve, but he's hardly played. Maybe Brooks Boyer can sell t-shirts that read: "Free Jayson." Advertisement I thought Crede would be a mid-season answer in St. Louis, but David Freese is playing well for Tony La Russa's Cardinals.

southsider2k5 Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Hell, if Joe could hit .200, he would be a massive improvement over our usual two 3Bs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Man that's sad. I hated to see him in a Twins uniform, but I didn't wanna see the guy completely out of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I know its early but Teahen doesn't really do it for me. IMO he has already reached his full potential. Giving him that contract extension before he even did anything in a Sox uniform was a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really want to sign Crede to a Pods-09 contract, put him at 3rd, and have Teahen be the super sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
