SOXOBAMA Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If this 6 player deal was to go down. We would have some amazing pitching prospects for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOXOBAMA Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 That'd be 4 of the top 6 Jays 2011 prospects. I guess AA wants to win NOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see their 2012 rankings. 2012 here. 2 Gose 8 McGuire 10 Wojo Drabek didn't qualify because of his time in the majors I believe.

IIRC, Gose was their #2, and Wojo was around 7? I could make the case that a Drabek for Beckham deal would be relatively fair. Both guys could probably benefit from a change of scenery and at one point in time were considered completely untradeable. Who do the Jays have slated to play 2B. I know they don't have Hill anymore. But the Sox aren't getting all of the other stuff for Gavin. That is completely insane. I still have a hard time believe they'd get McGuire and Drabek but I love Floyd so I can kind of believe that (Floyd has a fair contract too).

Would Thornton, Floyd, and Beckham command that sort of package? I doubt it but was going to throw it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eminor3rd Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) http://t.co/QTjnG3rD Yep, we're doing this again-- and once again with the warning that there is absolutely no reason to believe that this rumour isn't complete bulls***. That said, someone on Twitter-- @brBoiler2013-- is claiming that the Jays will send Kyle Drabek and Deck McGuire to the Chicago White Sox for Gavin Floyd. And he says he knows this because Floyd married his cousin. I've done a little bit of horrendously superficial internet digging on this one, and it seems that Floyd is married-- which, of course, tells us nothing about the validity of this claim. Floyd's wedding was in Florida, he's from (or was at least born in) Maryland, and guy here goes to Purdue, in Indiana. None of that tells us anything. But maybe some of you can find something more concrete to dispel this one. Get Googling! Floyd has been worth 12.4 fWAR over the past three seasons, is owed $7-million in 2012, with a $9.5-million club option for 2013 according to Cot's, and-- as far as anybody should be concerned-- will begin the season as a member of the Chicago White Sox.

An OF of Viciedo RF Cespedes CF Gose LF would be incredible for many years.. No chance we're getting Gose. This rumor is unlikely anyway, but AA loves Gose. Besides, he's RAW. He's basically a slightly better/not injured version of Jared Mitchell/Keenyn Walker from what I've heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
