2012-2013 Off-season thread part II

[Nomar]

Corcinos BB rate doubled and dropped from 10 to 7 K/9 this year though he did skip a level. Ok place to start if you're the reds but clearly not enough for us. Sickels has him as a B prospect.

My friend who has a position with the Redsox, nothing major lol. Told me don't be surprised if Boston is the 4th team involved with Cleveland, Arizona, and Kansas City. He's no one important so take it lightly obviously. I don't want you guys to A either be jerks and be like well my cousins cousin is so and so... or get to excited I'm just passing along the info..

When I asked kinda what he thinks is in the works... He said Ellsbury Skaggs/Bauer to Cleveland, Buchholz Choo to K.C. Cabrera, Moustakas to Arizona, and Boston would end up with Masterson, Upton. He said other pieces would be involved obviously but thats the frame work. He said Boston would retain both of Xander and Bradley, but is going to lose one of Webster/Barnes/Owens and one of Britton/Workman/Wilson. Myers would probably go to Cleveland.

Again take it for what it is... a rumor...

That would be very major and we would seemingly be losing too much hit thanks for giving us that info bro.

Yeah KC and Boston get killed in that.

[Soxfan85]

Stephenson or bust.

Thats the Reds #7 prospect. You will need to add Alot more if your trade Ells to Reds.

Something is Brewing. As i said earlier it has been relatively quiet yesterday and today. As long as we keep Boagerts and Bradley,im okay with that.

Stephenson is their #2 behind Hamilton

Agreed I think we would get more stuff, and K.C is getting another pitcher as well(I forgot to say that). He said it could be a historical trade...

All I know is the if we lose Buchholz Ells and one of our top 3 P specs we need a lot more than Upton and a 4th starter. Like Hosmer or Myers coming our way instead of Cleveland.

I hope something huge happens though just as long as we don't get raped.

Does anyone that has an inside source need verification by the Mods?

Agree, we'd need to get Bauer/Skaggs instead of Masterson. But I don't fear getting trade-raped by anyone. I have more faith in Ben when he does trades than on free agent signings. Typical Theo protégé...

With that being said, I can't see this trade going down, even though something is brewing between Arizona, Cleveland and Texas

[EwanSellars]

Lester and de la cruz/jacobs for myers and orodizzi

[Soxfan85]

nickcafardo Boras on whether he'd do a sign and trade with Ellsbury: I do what Jacoby tells me to do. - think Jacoby is focused on playing in Boston

nickcafardo Boras on Ellsbury: I'm sure (GM) Ben and I will be talking in Jan about his contract. Until we're told otherwise that's the focus of it.

Yeah i trust BC as well. Things have been eerily quiet with Lester and Ellsbury today though, I wouldn't rule something major out.

Wasn't there a trade we got rapped by? I know there was and cant remember who.

People claim the Reddick trade but that doesn't bother me too much. Other than that not under BC
