southsider2k5 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 08:08 AM) Whether they send Molina to winter ball probably depends a lot on innings. He's thrown 93 innings so far this year with a month to go. His tops was 130 last year. If they think one of the reasons he struggled this year is that his arm isn't built up yet, they'll hold him back from winterball. If they think that he needs the innings, they'll send him. If he is healthy, he is a prime AFL candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 31, 2012 -> 08:10 AM) If he is healthy, he is a prime AFL candidate. Yeah, I agree with this. If he's healthy, then they should try to give him a few more innings. I still think he hasn't been right all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) To return to the Thread topic; maybe K. W. pries "King Felix" out of Seattle. The Mariners need hitting, and aren't going anywhere for a couple of years. They aren't going to compete for a playoff spot any time before Hernandez's expensive contract is up. , Could the Sox put together a package that would interest them? They'll need an "Ace" caliber right hander next season to replace Peavy, who is not worth that $22 Million, one year option. The Sox aren't going with a starting staff of 4 lefties next year. If they resign Liriano, and he's as good as hoped, they'll need to trade one of the lefties. Would you give up Viciedo, Quintana and Floyd for Hernandez? Would the Mariners? I'd hate to lose Viciedo, but it would be tempting for Hernandez. We'd be the favorites to win the Central this year, and maybe for the next two after that. Bring up Connor Jackson to play left the rest of the way, and use Jordan Danks as a defensive replacement. Jackson finally seems healthy again, and if so, he would certainly be adequate. Then there is always Dan Johnson for the LF spot opened up by Viciedo's departure. Next year's staff of Sale, Hernandez, Liriano, Danks and one of Castro/Humber/Axelrod, or any other rhp, who wouldn't cost much, would be very formidable.

That seems like a pretty unrealistic proclamation for a player as young as he is. Who knows what kind of contract he'll be wanting, and where the Mariners will be in 2015, when he becomes a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's Eriely quiet out there right now for KW on a deadline day. Usually there is some kind of rumors going around or talk out there about the Sox, but nothing the past two days. It's odd with KW comments after The Liriano trade. I can't remember the Sox being this quiet on a deadline since we landed peavy at the wire a few years ago. Either something is up or nothing it up lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have said that all last winter and nothing was up. I think the people who think KW is planning on adding King Felix, Cliff Lee, Justin Upton and a few others to the roster are going to be a little dissappointed at 3 pm. The heavy lifting has already been done. I think he's looking for complimentary pieces some of which may be available after the deadline when more teams will be out.

I agree, I don't expect a large move, it just wouldn't shock me. I would be happy with staying pat honestly, but it would be excited to double down again.
