The Mighty Mite Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Who can we trade to get some bullpen help and while we are at it, we need another starter, Paulino is horrible. I'm thinking maybe we could get something for Beckham when he's healthy, I think Semien can handle second base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 If we are in this in July or August... maybe. In April? God no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 It's not a team where you hit the panic button and do something drastic right now. Try to fix the problem internally, and then if the team is still in it at the break, then do something. Webb should close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its early but I think with the new attitude with the hitters it would be a shame for the bullpen to keep blowing games. Right now we lead MLB in blowing 3 out of 4 save chances.

Right now we lead MLB in blowing 3 out of 4 save chances. NO one is trading players right now. To get a team to move someone it would take a ridiculous overpay. In a season with zero expectations, they aren't going to mortgage any prospects to get a reliever for a team that isn't going anywhere this year.

GGajewski18 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I read from Buster Olney on Twitter the other day that if the DBacks keep falling back, they could a team that folds it in early. I wouldn't mind trading for Reed again if Sox are in the race... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrockin, like greg, are adult children when it comes to sports. If elrockin had his way, Buehrle, Garland, Contreras, Garcia, Dye, CQ, Swisher, AJ, etc, would still be on the team.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Will wait til near July before thinking about trades. We can fill bullpen via in house. Guerra should be called up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Hahn is likely better off making a waiver claim for relief help. Our best bullpen arm was one. Once Javy Guerra is/proves he's ready, he will likely provide decent middle relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully endorse this. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Apr 13, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) Either has Beckham and guess who is 4 years younger? Except that Beckham has proven something to us - in 2400 plate appearances, he's still not a very good hitter. Semien is at least exciting and talented.

I'd just rather see Beckham on some other team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitey Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I like the OPs idea... Semien is ready for his chance to be the everyday second baseman. Teams like the Yankees would probably pay decent for Beckham when he is ready. Their 2B, SS, 3B situation as a whole is not looking good and they have to be close to hitting the panic button... If the Sox could net a young/nearly MLB ready pitching prospect, and another (average or better) current MLB reliever for Beckham right now, I say go for it.

LittleHurt05 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So Beckham is not good enough to start for the Sox, yet somehow he carries some magical trade value? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
