Real Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 This deal has to be false, I think the dude could possibly be getting tested for leaks, for lack of a better pun None of it has been even slightly hinted at anywhere else, even the Peavy and Ejax deals were eventually acknowledged rather quickly after k0na put it out there This was put out there during the day, during prime rumor time and not a single hint of it has popped up anywhere else Not buying it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not that I believe any of this is true. But Rickie Weeks going down greatly alters whatever plan Milwaukee had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 QUOTE (gosox41 @ Jul 27, 2011 -> 10:18 PM) Not happening. Why would anyone want Rios, even if they can have him for nothing? Bob Guys, because Carlos Gomez broke his collarbone. They're literally playing Mark Kotsay in the OF. Remember Mark Kotsay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T R U Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I don't believe this at all, however... If you have no options for CF (and people are intrigued by Rios potential regardless of how he has been doing) why not get Rios, Thornton, and maybe Escobar with a big chunk of Rios salary getting picked up? They gotta go for this division now, rolling the dice on Rios may not be all that bad an option.. hell at least they wouldn't be stuck with the contract as we would more than likely paying a LOT of it.. plus they would get Thornton as well I see how it could make sense, but unfortunately I don't see us escaping Rios until his contract is ovah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco72 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I still don't know if this rumor makes much sense, but I really see KW trying to do what worked for him in the past... First, he acquires a starting pitcher on the cusp of starting (of course, will Stewart be more like Floyd or Marquez?). Then, he turns to acquiring an undervalued or blocked prospect (e.g., the Quentin trade). If he trades CQ, could KW be thinking of Gamel in LF and Viciedo in RF in 2012?

hogan873 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I'd approve of just about anything to rid of Rios, especially if the Sox didn't have to send too much money, but is Gamel really a better option than Morel at 3rd? His offense looks just this side of bad, although with very limited action. How's his defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Not sure where Gamel would play, he is best suited for 1B/DH. Has a tremendous amount of LH power but is a little too much like Josh Fields in the contact department. Dunn would probably as good of an option in LF as Gamel would be.

His offense looks just this side of bad, although with very limited action. How's his defense? His defense supposedly makes Wilson Betemit look like a gold glover. The Brewers are getting less performance from 3b than the White Sox have gotten, yet they haven't brought Gamel up yet. Brent Morel would be a significant upgrade for them on offense.

Disco72 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Based on this thread, it appears is defense is SO bad that the Sox would legitimately have a "where would he play?" situation considering that 1B and DH are tied up for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 So if the Sox were to acquire Gamel he'd most likely end up in Charlotte? Or, was there speculation that Morel would go to the Brewers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
