cabiness42 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Unless the money is substantially less for Volquez, I'd much rather have McCarthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 This is weird too. I don't mind the intention, but this doesn't seem like a good mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hopefully it won't be a long deal. I'm still not sold on Volquez's season last year. Career low in BABIP at .263. K/BB rates were very average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 There's just no way McCarthy comes back. Too much water under the bridge with that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) I'd assume there'd be a Danks domino to fall if something like this happened but who knows, the Sox still might have a bit more cash to play with than they're letting on.

BlackSox13 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Volquez is supposed to be looking for a 2/20 contract. I would not be opposed to that in the least bit. Would be great to sign Volquez and trade Danks/ Viciedo. Would open up about 9M for the Sox to spend elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Without moving Danks, it would be odd for them to go after Volquez instead of just sticking with Noesi for that spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact of the matter is we spent much of last off-season on this topic. The difference is that IF IF IF you could offload Danks' contract (and you're going to take back Ethier, Crawford, Kemp or Victorino in return, so you're not SAVING money)....it would be a pretty critical get to add one more veteran piece to hold down the 4th starter's spot. We all saw what happened with Erik Johnson, Paulino, Rienzo and Carroll out there last year. There's no guarantee that Noesi won't end up like Phil Humber. On the other hand, there's a good chance he will pitch better than Rodon this season. Who really knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I would love Volquez, especially if something is on the table with Danks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 So I am absolutely not trolling here whatsoever, but I think Ervin Santana makes a hell of a lot more sense than Edinson Volquez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
