BigSqwert Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) As it stands right now, the Sox are the only team to have on the roster 5 guys who drove in 70 or more runs last year. EDIT: Meant to post this in the Sox catch-all. Edited December 10, 2010 by BigSqwert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 10:34 AM) So how is that off-season feeling for the Tigers so far? They signed a guy without a real position to a large contract, and missed out on all of the big names so far. At least they got V-Mart, the Angels are having a rough one as well as Oakland.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 09:51 PM) As in Alex Gordon? s***, the Newark Bears have enough pieces to get that bust. I think it is important to note that Kevin Correia's brother was killed in a hiking accident in May, which effectively ended any hopes of a good season for Correia. He is a good pitcher and up to last season, was deserving of the contract he received. Take away 2010 (which I think he wishes could happen) and he's a solid 4/5 guy in the NL.

I remember reading that article. He and his brother were very close, and it tore him apart. Hopefully he is able to focus more this year.

Steve9347 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 A source told AOL Fanhouse's Ed Price on Friday that he is "certain" Rays right-hander Matt Garza will be traded this winter, probably to the Cubs. That'd be a nice get for the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing the Rays really don't need right now is starting pitching though. They wouldn't even have a spot for Cashner as a starter if they traded Garza.

Keeping their young Major Leaguers while trading unproven prospects for someone like Garza, and then extending him to a reasonable deal, would qualify as rebuilding. Rebuilding projects usually fail when they try to have all their prospects come up at once and turn into viable Major Leaguers. That rarely happens.

I don't think the Rays want unproven prospects for Garza. Tyler Colvin might be someone the Rays would want back, although that's not likely to happen.

Maybe Cashner but I can't see why they'd have to trade Colvin. Besides, so far it's been said that TB would be getting prospects, and Cashner at this point is past that.

Tyler Colvin might be someone the Rays would want back, although that's not likely to happen. 9:54pm: The Cubs and Rays met again to talk about a potential trade that would send Garza to Chicago for prospects, according to Bruce Levine of ESPNChicago.com. The Brewers and Rangers have also met with the Rays about Garza, but the Cubs have the strongest current bid, according to Levine. However, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel hears that talks between the Rays and Brewers did not progress (Twitter link). 5:17pm: The Rays have been uninspired by the offers for Garza and may hold on to the right-hander until next summer, according to Joel Sherman of the New York Post (on Twitter). 10:40am: The Cubs are one of four teams in the mix for Rays righty Matt Garza, reports ESPN's Bruce Levine. The Rays are interested in receiving prospects in return. That's what is out there. I don't think the Cubs would be interested in this deal if they had to gut what they're building.

fathom Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Cubs are going to try and get Garza for guys like Carpenter, Archer, etc. It would be funny if they got Garza, as it would give them two of the most unlikeable players ever in Zambrano and Garza.
