The Yankees would be the perfect trade partner for the White Sox. The Sox have too many infielders and need a catcher, and the Yankees have too many catchers and need an infielder.

Gordon beckham, for cervelli, or one of the under guys. Fingers crossed Sanchez. It makes sense. Beckham is one of the better fielding second basemen in the game and has very very good experience at 3rd and is a natural short stop, plus he is cheap. Or Conor Gillespie could work seeing as he is out of options and likely will lose his spot to Davidson. A left hander with some pop is always nice in Yankee stadium.

i forgot Jaime Garcia existed…must be real easy being a Cardinals fan
Jeffy25
Yeah, wasn’t around much last year.
Fans expect the worst with him considering injuries, fortunately, they can survive without him just fine.

Sanchez for sale.
Soxcbs
Hell NO!
frogbogg
No… he’s literally forsale. How much you give??

Another gem from Bowden today… The Angels aren’t going to get four FA years from Trout. If he was the Rockies’ GM would he trade Tulo to the Yankees too just so he could write about it a bit more?
Jose Ochoa
Why aren’t the angels going to get four years of fa from trout?

White Sox are my sleeper team in the AL. They do not play in the hardest division, they have a good young rotation and with the additions of Garcia, Eaton, Abreu and Davidson for full years there lineup should be much better. They always seem to be good one year and bad the next. The Dunn Konerko platoon should be worth 45 homers and a 250 average. Beckam can bat in the 8 hole where he thrives. De Aza will move to left and down in the order. Vice do can be traded for a catcher or relief pitching.

There’s a good chance Davidson won’t be up until June. I’ll be thrilled if Dunnerko hits above replacement level. Beckham will probably be 8th or 9th, and I doubt he’ll thrive. De Aza and Viciedo will platoon; De Aza is much more likely to be traded than Viciedo. I think the Sox will be improved, but not nearly to the point of contention. They need EVERYTHING to break right to make a run at the playoffs. This is just Step 1 in the program.

As much as I despise the White Sox (although now that Ozzie is gone, not so much), I am getting tired of the Tigers winning and not doing squat in the post season. (Yes, I know that they made it to the WS but choked big time). It would be a refreshing change until the Twins young studs come up to dominate again.

To be fair beckham was having a breakout year before his wrist injury batting in the 2 hole. But I agree. Screen name aside. The sox have a very good and very deep rotation. With a rock solid bullpen. And a bunch of guys who had bad years last year and can only get better plus with less at bats for Dunn and konerko combined. While adding a true center fielder and a finally legit third basemen. This team could shock some people. Wild card is my guess

I’m a Sox fan but how do they have a “very good and very deep rotation”? Counting on a guy as their number 3 who’s coming off shoulder surgery/problems, and awful seasons, 2 young guys in as their one and two who are bound to have at least one off year (see Danks/Floyd). And finally who is their 4/5 starters? We’ve seen this before where the Sox bring up someone to fill those roles and failed horribly. I’m more excited for the lineup but I’m not getting my hopes up for a winning season much less a playoff spot.

Anyone have any white sox or cubs rumors?

This just in!!
They both will finish last in their division!

Like I posted before, the word “historic” is getting to be a tired and worn adjective to use with new contracts. It was “historic” when Kirby Puckett got a 3 year 9 million dollar deal. There will be a “historic” deals until the economy collapses then it won’t matter.

Explain this to me- assuming Trout continues to be the best player in the game and doesn’t get hurt, he will earn $66 million in arbitration, and then $35 million per year after that. So, if you want to sign him to an extension, you have to sign him using those same dollars?
In that case, why not just go year to year, and let him bear the risk of injury or performance decline?
If the Angels offer him, say, 10 years at $220 million, and he turns it down, he’s a fool. Even assuming everything goes perfectly for him in his career, he will never miss the $100 million that he leaves on the table, worst case scenario, his great grandkids have less to fight over; otoh, if he has a career ending injury tomorrow, he actually has to worry about what he is going to live on for the rest of his life.

The big difference is in 4 years when Trout hits FA, you won’t be able to get him without guaranteeing him at least 10 years at $35 million per year. Now that Trout is only one season away from earning $15+ million, I think the chance to get him on a 10/$220 has sailed. This time next year Trout will already be looking at somewhere around $20 million in career earnings. He would already be set for life, so why not roll the dice that at age 26 you’ll be poised to guarantee yourself the largest contract in sports history? He’ll most likely be looking at 10/$350+ with $65+ million already in the bank at that time.

I hope Trout sacks up and goes year-to-year, and hits FA at 26
jwsox
I would be the does, maybe just maybe singes a 6 year del and hits fa as a 28 year old. It gives him some financial
Security and the halos some insurance.

According to BRef, Jake Elmore played every position this year including pitcher and DH.
