Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) He's going to have to make it a perfect game to impress anyone with the way things have been going recently in baseball. You're going to have to throw back-2-back perfect games for them to have any meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 FWIW, if Sale blazes through the minors (big if) soon, I'd be open to shipping Gavin right away once he regains his value. A rotation of Danks/Peavy/Buehrle/Hudson/Sale would be hypothetically wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A rotation of Danks/Peavy/Buehrle/Hudson/Sale would be hypothetically wonderful. Has Buehrle shown you anything more then Floyd has that he'll still be a quality pitcher in the 2-3 years till Sale gets here? I think Peavy, Danks, Floyd, Hudson, Sale is the more likely option at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even begin to think about that. Do you see this a response to him not signing his extension and an indication that he's going to be moved?

It also could be a product of Danks potentially bringing the biggest package of anyone on this team if we do indeed pull a full rebuild.

Do you see this a response to him not signing his extension and an indication that he's going to be moved? Well, my instinct says no. But I'll agree at some level with what 2k5 says. There's right now no reason to expect that he's going to re-up with us, he's 2.5 years away from FA and so right now is probably his "Peak value", even low budget teams desperate for a pitcher could afford his salary for a year or two. I don't think they'd draft Sale because they thought they wanted to move D1. But it is possible that having drafted Sale will make them a little more willing to do so, if a team offers the right package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a free agent at the end of 2012, he's rejected every offer the Sox have made to sign him long-term so far, and it's entirely possible that he could be up for on the order of a 6-7 year, $15-$20 million a year deal.

Gotta hope for some kind of a discount, I would be totally comfortable with moving Buehrle and offering Danks about 70% of the salary that we save on Burls.

D1 has shown zero signs of offering any discount. If he was willing to give any discount they'd likely have signed him by now. D1 I'm sure is sitting there realizing he'll hit free agency as a 27 year old if he doesn't sign anything. He gets in the right groove one of these next 2 years, and he could be talking about nearly Sabathia type money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
