South Side Fireworks Man Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) How much of Adam Dunn at 1b did you honestly watch last year? All the games against the Sox and most against the Cubs. He looked pretty bad - very awkward/clumsy and missed some easy throws that weren't charged to him as errors. And in previous years I remember him being embarassingly bad wherever he played on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 QUOTE (Capn12 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) 16 mil a season for the next 3 years. That'd be payroll suicide. I agree, it would be a terrible acquisition unless the Rangers were picking up at least half of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) posted this in the MLB offseason thread, but makes more sense here... Heyman said Lee now has 2 seven year offers and NYY and Rangers weren't expected to go beyond 6... he has it tagged as "doublemysteryteams" or something of that ilk. totally left field, but how much revenue did Twins add with new stadium, any chance they are in on this?

SoxFan1 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 The bullpen panic is funny to me. We have 3 legitimate relief options in Thornton, Santos, and Pena, and a 4th in Sale. Yet people are saying we have 1 reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos is still something of a newbie at this, as is Sale, and Pena has been below average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santos is still something of a newbie at this, as is Sale, and Pena has been below average. Santos did quite well for a newbie, and another off-season and ST as a reliever can't hurt. Sale was awesome and there's a reason he went so high in the draft. Pena was below average overall, but he was HUGE for us in an unexpected long relief role. And there's no denying he has great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's no denying he has great stuff. If you look at these last 2 posts, you can find reason for optimism and reason for a lot of worry both. If nothing else, hopefully you can see a little why people would be concerned about the bullpen as is; even with everything you've said, there's no sure thing anywhere other than Matt, and Matty's elbow started acting up too much for comfort last year.

I'm of the same mindset as you; the market is flooded with decent relief options and potential high upside pick ups. in addition to that we have some back end material in infante, nunez and santos rodriguez and that wavier wire claim from SF. I would like to see the sox go after these relief options out there. Joel Peralta, Andrew Miller, George Sherril, Hideki Okajima, Takashi Saito. or maybe trade to get bell or broxton.

pktmotion Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 05:05 PM) Does that mean he has, or has not been linked to Kenny over the past few years? Sorry, I must be slow at this. Yes it was almost two years ago, Michael Young had requested a trade because the Rangers moved him to 3B. I believe that was before he was signed to that ludicrous extension. It'd be a salary dump now and I wouldn't bet the Sox are interested anymore.
