LDF Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 10:18 PM) Initially I was going to say Micah/Beck but wasn't sure with both of them having injuries this past season. Oakland looks like they have an opening at 2B so I figured Johnson and a pitcher. Looks like they might have an opening in the OF too but I think it's CF so I doubt they have interest in Avi. i really think you premise is right but not the players... MJ for sure and then maybe, i would imagine a pitcher and one of J May or Engel. i made an error. Edited December 3, 2015 by LDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 I'm of the mindset that were gona snag CarGo and Lawrie. I like Lawrie because of his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want pitching. Why would the Sox want those 2? Dietrich's not a 3B. yea, maybe he improves. Avi, Sanchez and Micah could too (and the latter 2 are already stellar defensively). Defense has long been a huge albatross on the Sox On other matters: Lawrie's no better than average. Micah would be a fair deal for him, especially as Robbie doesn't know how to use him. Cargo be just a ridiculous trade. $20 mill a year, 2 year rent, heavily stacked Coors field stats, low OBP, lots of Ks. Sox need to build, not wish-cast.

He is looking for guys who make minimum, so he can afford David Price. It is weird, in his world, the Brewers should never have traded Lawrie yet teams should not trade for him either.

I've consistently said what I would do. Gotten a lot of bashing for it. Here you go: Build with youth. Not trade for these over-priced, over-rated "proven" veterans. Too many holes to try to win in 2016. But, if we must have a "star" I'd go with Upton, although I wish he didn't have a QO attached. Wish we hadn't wasted resources on Melky when Upton was up the next year. I'm fine with Lawrie - trade Micah for him. I think I said that. He's passable and passable at 3B would help a lot. Could improve. (but I know the Sox when it comes to dealing with Beane: they fall all over themselves trying to impress Sir Billy, and it will be Micah and Montas and an A ball prospect thrown in, which would be nuts). Find a different/better young 3B. Trade EJ or Montas for him. Trade one of Sale, Q , Eaton to plug 2-4 holes with good young talent. Play both Trayce and Sanchez this year. A lot. They should be starters. If we must trade prospects, try to do it with 2nd and 3rd tier prospects: Saladino, Beck, Danish. Then the Johnsons, May. Leave the A ball prospects alone...some of those guys are going to blast; don't know which one will. But keep them.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 07:35 PM) and you believe this why? Didn't have a great avg. at .243 but hit 16 HRs and 36 RBIs and 21 BB. You wouldn't take that on this team? He had a better year on the road than LaRoche did all year. He's a better option than Avi out there and instantly adds much need power to this lineup and someone who could hit behind Abreu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 everybody's got an appropriate value to them. CarGo is better than Avi, I will admit that. Depends what they'd have to give. I like Upton and patchwork the rest. I don't want to trade Quintana or Anderson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
