chw42 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 11, 2012 -> 08:51 PM) The Indians are HUGE winners in that deal, IMO. This looks horrible for Arizona, unless Bauer is a ticking time bomb. Gregorious does not have a ton of upside, from what I've read -- more of an average player ceiling. Stubbs and Bauer for Choo. That's an awesome haul for a guy they weren't going to re-sign after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggins Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 So the Dbacks probably aren't gonna trade Upton. So thats three times in a row the Rangers have struck out on a target. Olt for Floyd!!! #RANGERTEARZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Rangers missing out on Upton and Grienke. A combination of Floyd and Rios is looking good to the Rangers for some GOOD prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Glad to see Choo out of the division. Not so happy to see Bauer in it. Can picture him dominating the Sox in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. De Aza could have easily been the player the Reds leadoff hitter they were looking for. But I still think the trade has something to do with the Phillies. They still want a corner OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 12, 2012 -> 04:48 AM) I read where Philly talked about trading Dominic Brown for Alfonso Soriano. I'd take Brown on the Sox. I've been saying Brown +, for Rios. Brown is a great prospect, but not ready to be inserted in the middle of the lineup. Could we all please agree that the candidate must fit the profile of a middle of the order, left handed bat? I'm pretty sure that is what Hahn wants, and that is easy to understand. He probably doesn't want to see Dunn batting anywhere lower than 5TH or 6TH. If the Sox have to hit Dunn 3RD again, they are not going to be very good. Assuming Viciedo is traded for this "mystery" player, and A. J. is not brought back, the lineup should look like this: de Aza Keppinger "Mystery" LH Bat Konerko Dunn Rios "Blah, Blah, Blah," whatever Brown is no where near ready to bat 3RD. I'd love for it to be Hamilton, but I'd settle for someone like Eithier, or the just traded Choo.

I'd say Howard, A-Rod, Pujols, Werth among others. Carl Crawford would be on that list, but I guess the money-crazy Dodgers proved that wrong.

Chicago White Sox Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I still think Hamilton at 4 years/$25 million per makes a ton of sense for us. Trade Rios & Thornton for prospects and we'd only be adding $6.5 million in salary. 1. De Aza, CF 2. Keppinger, 3B 3. Hamilton, RF 4. Konerko, 1B 5. Dunn, DH 6. Viciedo, LF 7. Flowers, C 8. Beckham, 2B 9. Ramirez, SS #1 Sale #2 Peavy #3 Danks #4 Floyd #5 Quintana CL Reed SU Crain SU Jones MR Veal MR Omogrosso or veteran MR Leesman or Septimo LR Axelrod or Santiago (loser starting in AAA) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckweaver Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 With the report the Yankees have resigned Ichiro (MLBTraderumors), they now have 3 LH outfielders in Ichiro, Gardiner and Granderson. If we're "signing up," for a strategy...I'd like to see Granderson and some salary relief for De Aza. To me, Granderson is a complete player. He's hit for average and power and is a very good center fielder. Last season's average was down because he was a middle-of-the-order guy. Put him in CF flanked by Rios and Viciedo and bat him first. All this, and he's a stellar human being, too...and from Chicago. Several years ago, the winter after he had his September (maybe a little more) cup of coffee with the Tigers, he was a coach at a baseball camp for kids in Libertyville. He took time for each kid, smiled, signed autographs and answered everyone's questions. He came across as totally genuine. I'd love for him to have some very good years with the White Sox.
