GLOAD is GOD Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 After watching Choo for the past two years, its obvious he's a pretty tough out. Not sure how salaries would match up, with arbitration and everything, but with Cleveland clearly out of it for sometime....do you think a White Sox package with Quentin as the headliner could get the job done? I just think Choo's bat and glove would be the perfect complement to the current team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Except that would be a ridiculously one-sided trade for the Sox. Quentin doesnt have a ton of value at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere between you two is reality. Quentin would not get it done for Choo, but calling his offense the same as Jones is just silly. And I doubt CLE wants to part with Choo anyway.

scotty22hotty Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 TCQ is one of the worst RF in the league... Choo is one of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOAD is GOD Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Obviously not Quentin alone.....I would even consider throwing Morel in there as well, considering the year he's had. I really think Choo would balance the offense so well....with both him and rios capable of hitting 25 homers and stealing 25 bases. Lefty, righty as well.

daggins Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Quentin is fragile, inconsistent and getting expensive fast. It's not like no one has noticed his struggles. Most articles i've read blame his exaggerated flyball tendencies for his insanely low BABIP. Right now he has little value, but tantalizing potential. Choo, meanwhile, is a consistent producer in all facets of the game. Decent power, on-base monster, excellent fielder with a rocket arm, even steals a base or 20. Basically he's one of the better RF in the AL. Maybe Q for BJ Upton but even then I think the Rays would want another good piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the risk in the trade and why he may not be as valuable. Choo is a much better player than Quentin. I'd love him in right field.
