BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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?

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

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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.

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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.

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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.

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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.

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

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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!!

Re: BoSox Trade Rumor!!

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.
