Did a small post on it here. Should be interesting to see if the White Sox can pull this off considering that the Brewers want a high pitching prospect and they White Sox don't have one.

Maybe they can get a third team involved.

Hudson is a high pitching prospect/power pitcher, they need to realize that soon if we wanna get this done.

Now Buster Olney says it probably can't get done without Gordon Beckham.

Probably too high a price.

Yeah there is probably another guy that will end up here.

Fielder is going to cost a TON when he's a free agent. Dunn would cost pennies in comparison. I think Fielder wants $170 million.

You know, if we do trade Hudson, Beckham, plus a bit more for Fielder and we plug someone like Torres into the 5 hole and he does at least decent/average, and Fielder destroys in our lineup, this team is going to the playoffs for sure. Fielder could be that piece we need to get to that next level. Then I can see us making a small move for a 2B to replace Beckham.

as much as i like torres, i would still want a jake westbrook type pitcher in case freddys arm falls off....( i worry about him )

as far as beckhams replacement, well we are probably stuck with lillibridge or omar when teahan comes back

How much do you trust Brent Lillibridge? I would guess he replaces Beckham at second.

he isnt the best but it will have to do, and if it means prince you might have to do it.

I guess it boils down to this. Would you rather have Hudson and Beckham for a number of years or Fielder for 1.5 years and the two draft picks you get when he becomes a free agent.

I actually might want Fielder and the picks.

^^

When Fielder leaves, we get two picks.

And who knows, maybe we do retain him.

he would be a major impact bat in this lineup. just imagine pulling kotsay out of the lineup everyday and inserting prince. thats huge

The Sox could get a trade done for Fielder but it will cost them. Look what he did with Peavy last year, no one saw it coming and I could see another trade like that but will KW offer Beckham or Dayan Viciedo. I don't know and that is a lot. Plus they will have to add a pitcher like Hudson in it. Maybe Dayan and Hudson will get it done. That trade is actually not to bad for the Sox.
