Done Deal: White Sox Obtain Youkilis

[DewsSox79]

You said they were done while Hudson not? Do you get anything right?

i never once fucking said dunn and peavy were done. NOT ONCE! dont put words in my mouth. me and 901 were the only ones here that supported dunn all through last year, the offseason and this year.

I also knew that Dunn would bounce back! Power hitter in a hitters ballpark? Only makes sense that hed bounce back!

This was covered and acknowledged by Brett already...

That was to prove his point about what I said other teams likely think.

Oh ...

 

[brett05]

Dews not man enough to return the apology

I didn't think he was done. (punny) But I didn't exactly support him. I did think he would bounce back though.

Let's not throw around accusations bro.

I'm still waiting to hear what Cubs fans were taking little shots at this deal...

 

[BigP50]

Why so much hate, were all Sox fans here

tbo did think the deal was crazy but he also admitted that he wasn't an expert.

As long as the Red Sox absorbed most of the remaining salary and the White Sox had to give up nothing more than scraps this was a clear win for the White Sox.

I missed tbo calling the deal crazy, but he admits himself that his knowledge is somewhat limited to these things.

And the bolded is what everyone has said included myself, but it seems like Dews has taken umbrage with my statement that other teams think Youk is done given how little it cost the Sox to get him.

I think there is some truth to that, plus the injury scare and the age couldn't have helped. I would probably say that teams wanted Youk on their squad but didn't want to give up anything due to the aforementioned factors. It may not be what truly happened, but it's not illogical.

But that's also why if this pays off, it's a great move.

low risk high reward situation.

low risk high reward situation.

Considering how little it cost, I'd almost call it a no-risk move

Exactly which is why I have said again and again how good of a move this is for the White Sox. The only thing I've stated is that given how little risk the White Sox are taking in this deal that tells me how little of chance other teams think this has at paying off.

i was talking to brett

And that is my point about other teams views of Youk when they weren't willing to beat that package from the Sox.

 

[brett05]

I wasn't the one setting 24 as an over/under for Dunn Dews. I also don't recall saying Peacy was done either. Still waiting for you to man up my friend

 

[Rice Cube]

How does Youk's option vest? Maybe his trade didn't force him to waive that option and that is part of the scare in trading for him.

there was a tweet by someone earlier that mentioned the counter to that, that there were teams not ready yet and didnt seem as concerned as KW was with 3b. the tweet also notes that some of the teams were caught off gaurd how quickly things happened out of boston
