ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:08 AM) Eh..it's his shtick. Whatever. I like coming up with different ideas, crazy ideas and have fun in the offseason. Some people on here take it way too serious. I like the Sox and this is an awesome board. I'm on it because it's the best on the Internet. I like the posters on here too. 100% agree. This place is also why I don't discuss Sox baseball on Twitter anymore. There are way too many nitwits on there. I love this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) How many were hit in Oakland? I'm on my way to work so I can't look it up. I will look it up later because I'm curious.I think he can hit 20 with us realistically. .247/6/26 in Oakland, .272/10/34 elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:07 AM) I do. You just don't like what I throw out there. Acquire young talent. Don't trade for rents, career years and mediocre veterans. What the Sox are doing has a 100% failure rate. I have no interest in the average Lawrie, except on the cheap. This team is not competing in 2016, no matter how much fawning Williams and Hahn do at the feet of Billy Beane. No matter how many of our young players we hand over to him. And if the price I heard is correct, it's an outrage. You're the guy that wants to trade Eaton and Melky but keep Avi... That plan seems like it'd have a 100% failure rate as well.

LDF Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:14 PM) Montas to the A's? Maybe the next Frank De Los Santos? I really have no idea how to speculate on the package for both Lawrie and Reddick but I don't think your idea is far off and sounds pretty close to me. A defensive OF of Eaton LF, Thompson CF and Reddick RF sounds really good to me. Huge upgrade over last season. right now, montas and other prospects are a gamble.... until they make it to the bigs, no one know how they will develop. however this team is in a desperate condition with now help coming in key position.

I watched some highlights of him earlier and he can hit some absolute bombs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A defensive OF of Eaton LF, Thompson CF and Reddick RF sounds really good to me. Huge upgrade over last season. if we're talking Reddick AND Lawrie, it freightens me to think of a package. Dealing for TWO major league starters is going to cost us atleast Montas and Anderson. That's a steep price to pay for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched some highlights of him earlier and he can hit some absolute bombs. Looking at his 14 numbers, he had 12 homers in 70 games. If he had stayed healthy, who knows how many he could have hit.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Why are people bringing up Josh Reddick? His name hasn't been mentioned anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Is us getting Reddick just speculation or has it been tweeted by a legit source? I know we'd likely be giving up one of Avi/Trayce, but still, Melky/Eaton/Reddit/One of Avi or Trayce/Shuck still seems like one too many.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I truly think that Lawrie could be a 20 homer guy on the South Side...that would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had stayed healthy, who knows how many he could have hit. His average was also .025 higher (.247/.272) on the road. Oakland's ballpark clearly had an effect on him.

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 09:11 AM) Lawrie was a former top prospect who is 1 year older than Trayce Thompson. Has breakout potential. He might not do it, but he's certainly a better gamble than some of the others. I don't know the players involved but I like him as a somewhat buy low high reward type of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, don't see the Sox going after Reddick. They'll want an OF with at least 2 to 3 years of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Didn't know that Brett Lawrie was the Canadian cover athlete for MLB 14 The Show. Weird that they picked him over Bautista/Encarnacion and company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 08:27 AM) Supposedly MLB Radio said the Sox are giving up Engel, Thompson and Avi. I don't know this report to true so don't freak out but that would be steep. The probably meant one of them in a deal. If all three, we'd probably be getting something else back.

flavum Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 This thread is the equivalent of a watched pot not boiling. Hope something real gets done this morning. Avi being gone would be a positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Trayce because of his brother in the area that makes sense plus he was productive in his small sample size in the bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
