RockRaines Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 QUOTE (toasty @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:36 PM) If granderson gets close to this it will be a desperate move by somebody I bet he gets close to 60 if not 60. And yes it will appear desperate, if it was the Sox it would be super desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 QUOTE (Sockin @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 08:05 PM) Confirmed by second source! Jesse Sanchez @JesseSanchezMLB Sources confirm @Ken_Rosenthal's report: Abreu 6 years, $68 million pending physical with CWS. #Astros & #RedSox were also in hunt today. https://twitter.com/JesseSanchezMLB/status/...036073565880320 BOOM GOES THE DYNOMITE!!!

RockRaines Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 QUOTE (daggins @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:42 PM) Very true. I would def. rather have the second round pick and Abreu than Grandy. Right now the wish list is down to Salty, maybe a trade for some infield depth, and a bonafide lefty in the pen. That puts the Sox on the road to legitimacy. Infield depth isnt a concern, I think its impact MI. Every year one of ours is a hole in the lineup or defensively. Our rotation also could be a bit diferent on opening day.

Though, I wonder if this impact MI is someone sox figure is in the system already (Semien, etc) or is someone like that just bait? different than when, end of 13? I sure hope so!

BigHurt3515 Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Oct 17, 2013 -> 10:44 PM) or even where does Abreu hit? 3? 4? 5? As we sit now you have to think our 3-4-5 is some variation of Abreu, Dunn and Garcia. You would think it would be left-right-left. So probably Abreu, Garcia, Dunn if Abreu shows he can hit. I would start him at the highest 5th in the line up to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 So does this mean we are out of the running on any of the potential OF free agents, I mean we should still have plenty of money to go around to add an impact bat and a catcher I'd imagine.

Is Ellsbury a possibility or was he never one. I dont think Choo make's much sense and outside of those 3 don't think anyone really worthwhile to sign.
