I've heard he's lost 40 pounds. Now all he needs is a new head on his shoulders, a work ethic, a time machine, and he'll be good to go.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) I'd rather focus the remaining energy and dollars on the pen, and go with what we have for the offense (except deciding the 4th OF slot - Lillibridge vs De Aza vs Gartrell). Sale, Thornton and Santos is a solid start, and you have to figure one slot goes to Infante/Bellamy, and one to a long man. That leaves 2 open slots to go get 2 legitimate strong bullpen guys. I think addressing the pen is #1 too, but I think if we can get a cheap (salary wise) lead-off man by trading prospects we need to jump on it since we're always looking for that and we're always missing terribly. I wouldn't want to let the potential opportunity slide. Hopefully we have a couple extra million for a reliever or two. Teahen is mostly useless to us with a decent 4th OF since the IF is covered and he doesn't belong there anyway, but there have to be NL teams out there who think he's worth at least $2M per, maybe even $3M because of his "versatility" and mainly that lefty bat that can DH during interleague games. Maybe we could dump him in another Linebrink deal and free up enough money combined to either pick up a cheaper closer or maybe a couple smaller names. I'm sure the pen is Kenny's top priority now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chetkincaid Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The Sox won't be able to re sign Andruw Jones, will they? So who is going to be the back up outfielder? Who'll step in if Rios or Pierre goes down? Teahen can't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) It's in Crawford's best interests to make it seem as though many teams are still in the picture, especially the Yankees and Red Sox. But read between the bs, Balta... Yankees met with Crawford's people over dinner last night. Olney also says that multiple Red Sox team sources say they're still in on Crawford. None of this appears to be BS spouted from Crawford's side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they either sign one bullpen arm, or that is it. I don't think we are going the trade route for talent this year. I would love to see an Upton acquisition, but no way that happens.
