fathom Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 11:11 PM) He has a point, we need those upgrades, at RF/C/DH if we're gonna stick with Morel at 3B. Exactly...if you want to start Morel, Viciedo, and Sale next year, then let Konerko go and rebuild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 .310 / .380 / .497 / .877 That would be Beckhams post All Star break line.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 05:48 PM) If we are talking about someone like Adrian Gonzalez or Prince Fielder I'd do it. Otherwise, I hold on to Gordo. Having a cheap star is worth getting talent over and above his ability. I would want one of those guys for at least four years to do that.

Balta1701 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 07:50 PM) Of course Viciedo is an upgrade over Kotsay/Jones, but as of right now we have Manny as the DH. Manny > Dayan, no questions here. We need a big LH bat there next season, I'm talking Dunn type of bat. Not sure if Dayan can bring enough for this team to win 100 games which might be needed to win the division again. (pending an offseason failure by the twins) I don't think Omar can pull another season like 2010, while I have to admit he was outstanding this year and I hated the thought of him being a fulltime player here - gladly admitting my mistake, thank you Omar. I think Morel will be fine, we bring Omar back as a IF backup and if Morel pulls a Teahen, Omar can save the day.. again. Last there is the RF situation (I assume Pierre/Rios aren't going anywhere). We either take our chances with Q (possibly platoon?) or find someone more consistent and less of a defensive liability. I note that this post actually addressed nothing of the argument I made. We've gotten crap in terms of total offensive production from both 3b and DH this year, that includes Manny Ramirez. In terms of treading water with the bats, Morel and Viciedo taking over 3b and DH could easily be a significant upgrade for next year.
