I wouldn't believe it from a source like that.

Chet has been around the Chicago sports scene for over 20 years. I wish the report was true

Wouldn't be surprising, but would seem to be a precursor to a deal involving Hudson.

 

If they can get him for nothing big, I would be stoked, decent pitcher but is most likely getting type A status and will be in line for a multi year deal.

[Frank_Thomas]

I would love Lilly he is a gutsy competitor who I think who strive with our rotation guy. On top of that, we keep him away from the twinkie and Yankees potentially.

 

I do however think it is essential then for KW to trade Hudson+flowers/morel/or D2 for Dunn. Go for the jugguler an really put ourselves as playoff and divison competitors.

[ChiliIrishHammock24]

I really wouldn't mind Lilly if it meant we were about to get Dunn or Fielder. I just hope we didn't have to give up Brent Morel for Lilly (and I would think that would be who the Cubs would want).

Well, he posted it 3 hours ago, and no one else has picked up on the rumor yet, so.....

Ted Lilly+AL+our ballpark=recipe for disaster. That said, beggars can't be choosers. Why the f*** did Peavy have to get hurt!?

Would have made things a LOT more easier.

[Frank_Thomas]

Truthfuly this may sound crazy but I think Hendry would give the sox a decent rate for Lilly. Him an KW have said in the past they wouldnt overcharge one another if they were in a divisonal race.

 

I think Morel is going to be a good MLB player maybe a Micheal cuddyer like player and agree would hate to see him go to the north side and succeed. However I dont think the cubs would want morel they have Vitters in triple A. I would think flowers or Gatrell plus a few AA pitchers get it done.

 

That move with a Dunn deal, Hudson+one of the trio would kill at farm system but worse comes to worse, they both probably walk after the season and we get A and B compensation to rebuild.

 

Plus these two in my opinion would be cohesive with the chemistry of the team. Lilly is prob friend with a few sox players. Just hold on to the Tank and Beckham my only un touchables the rest of the farm is available. This team is good but needs to add!!

[Knackattack]

I think the Sox probably have a tentative deal in place for Lilly, and they're going to see how Garcia and Huddy pitch these next 2 days, and, if they struggle, they'll iron out the little details and bring him over.

51.4% FB% (highest in baseball) -----> 10.6% HR/FB (12% would be standard) -----> 1.46 HR/9 (11th highest in baseball, would only go up at the Cell)

 

Fun

Yikes... Fun curve ball though.

honestly the cell is not any worse and probably better the Wriley field. I think the whole US cellualr field thing is overratted. Granted it's a small sample size but post game live had a stat saying in the last 20 games at home our pitching has a 2.20 or something era. All pitchers learn to pitch to their ballpark.

[Frank_Thomas]

After seeing Kalapse's post disregard previous post that would be interesting at the cell. Although I could see the sox working the rotation for Lilly to pitch on the road with the days off left. It'd be interestif barring another move to upgrade the offense.

[ChiliIrishHammock24]

This is what I would like to happen....

 

Sox trade Flowers + A or AA player or two (no real prospects) to Cubs for Lilly.

Sox trade Hudson + Danks to Nationals for Dunn.

 

Then the Sox have a rotation of Buehrle, Danks, Floyd, Lilly, Garcia

And a lineup of Pierre, Ramirez, Rios, Konerko, Dunn, Quentin, AJ, Beckham, Viciedo. That's a hell-good line-up IMO.

[Frank_Thomas]

That roster competes with anybody AL or NL. Neither of the moves are huge that will turn a clubhouse over, in other words no one loses a job like JD did basically with Rios coming over in 09. I really believe the clubhouse was divided after that and that's why we went down hilll from there. Rios said it was uncomfortable plus the whole watching football incident. I think the clubhouse was horrible last year and that's why everyone is talking so much about chemistry this week.

Fun

 

You nailed it right here. I just hope there's no smoke here. I'd rather just roll with Hudson.

I think it's more about would you rather have Adam Dunn and Ted Lilly, or Daniel Hudson and Mark Kotsay?

 

I would take Hudson over Lilly too, but the point of getting Lilly is to get Dunn, and that's a sacrifice I think most here would be willing to make.

[Frank_Thomas]

Important Question: Are the Whitesox on Lilly's no trade list?

 

I know Minny is and I also believe Detroit is. Plus I hear that cubs players are afraid to play for contenders. They rather play mediocre ball, just like the ball their fans pay to see.

I would really doubt Lilly would have the Sox on his NTC. I mean, the point of a NTC is to stay where you are, and albiet it's for a different team, I would think Lilly would like to stay in Chicago if he could.

I reluctantly agree with you. But if KW trades for Dunn without being 99.999999999% sure he can sign him to an extension then it really is time for him to go. Now I'm sure somebody's going to tell me I an idiot and throw 2005 in my face and tell me about how bad management was 30 years ago.

Joel Radwanski (who is a host on the TV show) reported according to his close sources that this is a DONE DEAL.

 

I don't know much about this guy. After doing some research on him. I found out that he has stump Schwab twice

Its doubtful Lilly would Deny a trade that would put him on a contender without him having to move to a different city.

[Frank_Thomas]

I figured it would be more of a divisonal thing like most players have. JD had one against the NL west and Lilly had mist the the AL central so who knows. Lee lives in California (that's where his home home is) and he turned down the chance to play for the Angels for Christ sake, no one turns down the halos.
