Cafardo On Hamilton, Beckett, Jackson, Green

By Luke Adams 2 | March 7, 2010 at 9:39am CDT

Roy Halladay hopes and expects to pitch in the postseason with the Philadelphia Phillies, writes Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. Cafardo also notes that the Red Sox made a fair trade proposal for the ex-Jay, but that Toronto needed to be blown away to deal their ace within the division. Here are some of Cafardo's other hot stove notes:

  • One National League scout had this to say about the possibility of the Rangers trading Josh Hamilton: "Everybody in Texas denies it, and I don’t know what to base it on, but there’s a feeling the Rangers may do something, and teams want to be ready." A handful of scouts are keeping an eye on the slugger, just in case.
  • The Red Sox' extension talks with Josh Beckett have at least been "amicable, if not productive." Like they did with the J.D. Drew and John Lackey contracts, the Sox could attempt to include medical language in their offer to Beckett.
  • After being traded out of New York this winter, Austin Jackson feels more comfortable with Detroit, no longer weighed down by comparisons to legendary Yankee outfielders of the past.
  • The Red Sox offered Nick Green a minor league contract before he signed with the Dodgers, and now he represents the type of player they need: a backup shortstop. The team is hoping that Bill Hall proves capable of handling the role so that Jed Lowrie can play every day in Triple-A.

    I kinda wonder what was the Sox real final offer for Halladay. The Jays are calling it a fair offer, I wonder if it was better or worse than what they ended up with.

        Toronto would have jumped all over that if that was what Boston offered.

          It has to be something “better” than Drabek/Wallace/D’Arnaud. Maybe Bucholz, Bard, Ellsbury, and Kalish?

            i DOUBT they want ellsbury. he is gonna get 6MIL+ in arb next year and after 2-3 more years, he is gonna walk in free agency.

            basically ellsbury will be leaving the same time the blue jays are ready to compete..it wouldn’t make much sense on the jay’s part.

    That Austin Jackson kid sure reminds me of a young Al Kaline.

    Sorry, couldn’t resist.

    I could see the Giants taking a gamble on Josh Hamilton. Throw in one or two really good prospects i.e. Thomas Neal and Dan Runzler. That being said, Rangers are contenders this year though. Love to see the Rangers take those prospects and package ’em with like Smoak, Ramirez and maybe another 1-2 prospects and grab Adrian Gonzalez.

    CF Borbon
    RF Nelson Cruz
    2b Ian Kinsler
    1b Adrian Gonzalez
    3b Michael Young
    DH Vlad Guerrero/Davis
    SS Elvis Andrus
    LF Jermaine Dye cheap? (the one defensive liability, but Hamilton was going to be one as well)
    C Teagarden/Saltalamachia

    The farm system is the best in the bigs and can afford the loss. By the time Adrian’s contract runs out, 2011, Rangers should have money to spend (new ownership). There would be no reason they couldn’t extend him. At Arlington and with that protection in that lineup, I could see 50 bombs for Adrian Gonzo.

    Injuries really hurt Lowrie. From the future SS of the Red Sox to a back up IF.

    trading hamilton would be completely out of nowhere. the rangers are contenders and they wouldn’t get mlb players in return for the injury risk. that said their season may hinge on hamilton, his talent is off the charts when he has his head and body together. they have a good mix of veterans and top rookies, along with still the best farm of kids yet to break in. trading for another couple kids makes the roster look more like the marlins a year or two after winning a WS. i don’t know….just no.

    as an A’s fan I wouldn’t like it but AGonzo would be a great fit for Rangers. maybe some-kind of 3-way where Hamilton goes somewhere else and the Padres get whatever prospects/young guns
    then, at the end of it all, Adrian can sign one of those one-day contracts with the Marlins so he can retire having gone full circle!

      I forgot about him being drafted by the Marlins. He’s been involved in two really bad trades.

    The Rangers already messed this up when they traded Adrian Gonzalez and Chris Young to the Padres for a few no lifes named Adam Eaton and Akirnori Otsuka, what a great deal we made their. The Rangers could already have Gonazlez in their line-up and still have the great farm system they have today, what a wasteful trade. Yeah and the Marlins traded him to the Rangers for a guy who is in jail right now (Ugueth Urbina). I feel sorry for the guy he’s a great talent.
