The Sox Stove Is Broken: Offseason Discussion

[Rice Cube]

Wish the Sox would get in on Justin Upton, like Floyd Viciedo and maybe more specs

Might have to cough up more or involve a third or fourth team. D'Backs seemed pretty insistent that they want a shortstop.

 

[MRubio52]

Seems like the Royals are now in on Anibal as well.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Well get the indians involved, get them Cabrera and Viciedo and Gavin and more specs to ARI and CLE, not happening just a proposal on my behalf

 

[DewsSox79]

the sox will NOT pay greinke that money. I agree with not giving out huge deals to pitchers.....than again it aint my dough.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I wouldnt touch Greinke for that money. Why would ya?? He aint Verlander! You could spend 160 mil and get Hamilton and Lohse or Sanchez possibly

 

[Rice Cube]

White Sox took this guy in Rule 5 just now:

Actually look for the one from the Angels' system, this guy looks like the Astros guy. Sorry.

If the #chisox can clear money (look away gavin floyd), they will start thinking seriously about a big hitter, likely a lhh

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Hmmm wonder if they're trying to clear up money for hamilton

Hmm this is interesting.

 

[Rice Cube]

Unless you think Jerry is going to open up the wallet a bunch, I'd assume Swisher rather than Hamilton, though both would cost you guys a draft pick.

Saw this little gem from Knobler:

Marlins, who still need a 3B, have asked White Sox about Brent Morel. 3B mkt still crazy enough that Hannahan asked teams for multi-yr deal
LOLOLOL:roll::rolling::lol::lmao::rofl:ray:
Get it done Hahn!

 

[DewsSox79]

**** draft picks

ray:

Swisher

 

[DewsSox79]

im on that bandwagon. I wish! Someone would have to go. Im guessing Viciedo. That would be a very strong outfield with Swisher,Deaza and Rios. hell maybe move viciedo to 3b and keppinger to 2nd and get rid of beckham or use him as a late inning defensive replacement.

 

[nickofypres]

I would be fine with that, honestly.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

I read online at Chicago tribune that sox shopped viciedo to Seattle and de aza to the reds

 

[Capt. Serious]

Mark Gonzales of the Chicago Tribune reports that the White Sox are listening to offers for Dayan Viciedo and Alejando De Aza.

 

[BigSoxHurt35]

Ok there we go ya that's what I read

 

[DewsSox79]

viciedo is 23 and has a huge upside.

de aza you can probably actually get a descent return for since teams want a lead off guy....he played well i just dont think he is the ansewer with being injury prone.

From MLB Trade Rumors

The White Sox sound like they would like to add another bullpen arm to the mix, writes Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com. General Manager Rick Hahn specifically identified the role vacated by free agent Brett Myers, who is now drawing interest as a starter.
