Quin Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Pray it falls through then unless we get another major piece. I am. Santiago alone is worth more than just Eaton, but when the Sox add a prospect something else has to give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapzk Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (beautox @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:26 PM) If the sox acquire Eaton I hope Davidson is coming back as well. Move De Aza to LF and move Viciedo to the rays for lobaton and an Arm Don't know if you are serious lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:27 PM) Alden Gonzalez @Alden_Gonzalez Three-team deal "not imminent" but "getting pretty close," source says. Howie Kendrick NOT involved in it. #Angels #Dbacks #WhiteSox Sox need something else then. I agree, this is the only gutting nixing Kendirck when others have said the Sox are adiment that he is including. Hopefully it's jus part of negotiations and he's a part of this in the end. If it costs another Lower level spect do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I'm still trying to figure out why everybody is so anxious to get rid of a 26 year old starting pitcher who is 4 years away from free agency and has a 126 ERA+ in 224 innings.

Princess Dye Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:28 PM) Wow you really de-value Viciedo. That's okay you'll be eating your word coming June when he's taking for us. Viciedo is going no where, especially for a bum like Labaton lmao He said And An Arm.

Santiago is a decent pitcher but don't let those #s fool you, he gives up a lot of base runners and several opportunities for opposition to score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) Did everyone just hear "grinder" on Eaton and let that color all their perceptions? That's what it seems like in this thread. Eaton is a high ceiling guy, of the right age to matter ASAP, who hasnt had enough MLB at-bats. For months we say this is the type of guy we wanted and now we get upset? I dont get it. Edited December 10, 2013 by Jose Paniagua Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Yeah, Santiago for Eaton straight up is kind of pushing it, but also throwing in a good prospect? I'm really getting nervous about this. I hope other moves are line-up maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not anxious to, but if we can get some young bats I'm willing. The Sox don't need to "settle" for a deal with Hector, which is the main thing Hahn needs to look at.

It's been rather obvious the White Sox aren't very high on Santiago as a pitcher moving forward. Their actions speak volumes. Cooper for some reason, isn't a fan.

Princess Dye Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 People really getting this upset over Eaton's '13? That mediocre 250 major league at bats is the only reason we're in this discussion. Otherwise he wouldnt be available. He tore up the minors, gives our defense much needed improvement. Patient at the plate doubles machine. These were the things we wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed 100%. He is super durable, is only going to get better as he matures as a major league pitcher, and he is a badass motherf***er off the field. Whatever team he ends up on, I will buy his jersey T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If we're giving up a good prospect then Kendrick better be coming back in the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Wonder if the Sox are targeting Conger as well, would fit in pretty well and allow LAA to deal from a position of depth. Allegedly Sox had interest in Conger already this winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I think Santiago for Eaton may be fair, but Santiago plus prospect is not something I'm looking for. If prospect adds Kendrick, then sure. If Quintana gets you Kendrick, then okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:36 PM) This Eaton guy sounds a lot like "settling" I disagree, I see the Sox buying low and selling high. Eaton is going to turn out to be a great addition, I really like the guy. And I'll go on the record and see him being the next Pedroia. Has the chip the build and sprays all over the field. We are selling high on Hector and let's face it, the guy walks a lot of people and once again I trust this team and their assessments of SPs. They have more than earned the benefit of the doubt. That being said, I do hope we get more than Eaton but would be okay if we didn't. Just less enthuised. Either Kendrick or Conger would work for me especially since we are throwing in a "good" prospect on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
