Crasnick's Latest: Hamilton, Figgins, Andruw, Inge

Inge is great defensively, I would consider getting him if I was in need of a third basemen and I could get the Tigers to eat a bit of dough.

I was just thinking... you know what makes too much sense? Reopen discussions sending Paul Konerko to the Angels. The White Sox can't compete for years and the Angels obviously have the prospects for the trade. WHat about Adenhart and Kotchman?

I like the Kotchman and Adenhart for Konerko idea. If the White Sox could get the Angels to bite on that, what would be stopping them? Do they honestly think they can beat the Tigers or Indians?

scribblestone,
i doubt he meant ramirez for figgins straight up.
it would be figgins plus wood, santana and probably willits to start.
that's my guess anyway

as an angel fan i would hesitate to do adenhart+koth for konerko i would maybe do santanna+kotch but i would rather not trade adenhart for konerko.

First off, Konerko is the face of the White Sox franchise, along with Buehrle, and Santana-Kotchman wouldn't be enough. Adenhart-Kotchman would do it IMO though.

"i doubt he meant ramirez for figgins straight up."

Seems shocking, I know, but I was on ESPN before I even stopped by this site, and it most definately says A-Ram straight up for Figgins: "some people in the organization want to see GM Jim Hendry pursue a trade for the Angels' Chone Figgins, a switch-hitter. But the Cubs probably don't have what it takes to land Figgins. The Angels value Figgins so highly, one person with ties to the Los Angeles organization said the team might ask the Cubs for third baseman Aramis Ramirez in return." Its a pretty preposturous notion though. Reagans must be gettin hooked up with some pretty decent crack..

i would love to see the angels put together a package much like the ones they put up for cabrera ...ramirez for adenhart , figgins , and willits . thats reaching for the sky but at least the angels wouldn't have to give more than three players and none of them include your catcher .

if i were the cubs i would trade ramirez for adenhart , figgins , and willits.

figgins
willits
lee
soriano
fukodome
derosa
theriot
soto

i never realized the angels were so good at growing their own talent until this off season. maybe they could teach the cubs a few things about drafting , scouting , and bringing up the young guys . what ever happened to dallas mcpherson ? i thought a few years ago he was going to be a major contributor ?

scibblestone,
i apologize. i read the article after i posted that. i think he was speculating... i hope the angels aren't that insane! lol

14 million could go a long ways to rebuilding a bullpen , signing a legit closer , or making up a huge chunk of the salary of an ace .
