BoSox Trade Rumor!!

[GridironGrace]

IM in an online sports community for online Gaming for Play Station 2. MVP 2005 etc.

Anyways i have freinds from boston. And i've confirmed this with 3 of them.

Anyways closer to the deadline it seems that the BoSox will be trying hard to get Dunn or Casey.

Anyone else Caught Wind of this?

Casey maybe but Dunn? lol

btw this is my first created post.

Epstein after Casey?

[GridironGrace]

Well the talks from my freinds is they REALLY want Dunn, but are also lookin at Casey in case they cant get Dunn.

Epstein after Casey?

Yea, at least Mienkeweicz (sp) had a glove, but I could see him envisioning Casey lobbing doubles off the green monster.

They'll grab Casey. But then, where will he bat?

[schroomytunes]

I'd trade Casey for Arroyo and Shoppach. We need pitching and catching. We can have Shoppach for sure, not sure about Arroyo though, but I'd play hardball to get those two, would even be tempted to Shoppach and Youkoulis, as it clears salary to resign Dunn longterm, but I still push for Arroyo.

[GridironGrace]

Arroyo came to mind while talking to these crazy bostonites lol.

Rumor is which ever one they get will go right into a starting role at 1B and bat around 5th or 6th

I'd take Hanley Ramirez and Shoppach for Casey. That's right, no pitching prospects.

Having Hanley Ramirez at SS is the only legitimate reason for moving Lopez to 2B, he's good.

We need a catching prospect. I don't like Shoppach's K rate (he averages I think over 1K per 9 in the minors), but he is good defensively and can hit.

and we really need to shed Casey's 8.5M due next year with the terrible signings of Milton and Wilson.

However, with the presence of DanO's boyfriend, Andy Machado, I doubt Ramirez will be targeted.

I believe Peter Gammons has mentioned the Sox being interested in both of them. He has mentioned the Casey trade more than a few times. I only heard the Dunn reference once. I don't know if that is the origin of things. I have not heard anything in RI about it. WEEI and others have been all over Kevin Millar's performance but the focus appears to be on whether Olerud should replace him for at least a short spell as opposed to looking outside the organization.

[TC81190]

Dunn will be a little unhappy if they decide to make him the 1B. I will be less than happy if DUnn becomes a 5-6 hole hitter for many years in Boston.

[savafan]

Wouldn't they wait first and see how Olerud works out?

[GridironGrace]

Both the bosox you mentioned were what one of my freinds were saying we'd get. And frankly if olerud is one of them im not sure i'd like the deal regardless.

With BOS, I could see Theo dropping Adam in the 3 spot ahead of Manny and Ortiz because of his OB skills (he's smart)

Dunn
Manny
Ortiz

YIKES!!

Dunn will be a little unhappy if they decide to make him the 1B. I will be less than happy if DUnn becomes a 5-6 hole hitter for many years in Boston.

i think Dunn would be hitting 4th or 2nd in Boston.

Shoppach and Ramirez would be very nice though I doubt both. Anybody know anything about Anibel Snachez. He is BBA's Prospect Hot Sheet. Arroyo and Shoppach was my though when I first heard Gammons awhile back. One of the local papers was speculating on the Sox looking for a frontline starter (Isn't everyone) so I would be surprised if they gave up Arroyo. Casey makes sense for Boston. Doubles off the monster as well as Millar being in the last year of his contract. Casey gives them another year.
