July 26, 200521 yr While duking it out with the Red Sox in the A.J. Burnett sweepstakes, the White Sox are busy on other fronts, trying to pry outfielder/DH Aubrey Huff away from the Devil Rays, and trying to find a taker for former Yankee Jose Contreras, says the Newark Star-Ledger. From CBS sportsline.. Could you perhaps see a 3 way deal happening with Tampa, Marlins and White sox? That could indeed be interesting to see the possibilities there. Also on a radio station score sportstation 670 supposedly was reportin that AJ and Lowell was part of the deal being discussed recently with the white sox. I wonder what folks could speculate with a 3 way deal here? Perhaps TB Contreras, Prospects White Sox AJ Lowell (cash) Baez Marlins Huff (has a pretty big contract for TB) Marte McCarthy Perhaps something like that? I dont know really just speculating. But it could be interesting to see.
July 26, 200521 yr I doubt it...but I love Huff and I think he will be huge next year (just needs to get out of Tampa). I would do that deal in a second but we would still need another starter.
July 26, 200521 yr If the White Sox were looking to aquire A.Huff... why does your trade show us getting him? I just find that odd. lol. I think if we were to do a trade like that, it would look a tad different. TB Gets - Brandon McCarthy Eric Reed Matt Perisho ChiSox Gets - Aubrey Huff A.J. Burnett FLA Gets - D. Marte J. Contreras Travis Miller
July 26, 200521 yr Huff is pretty bad at defense. Besides, no one will deal with Tampa. Their GM is freakin' nuts in his trade demands.
July 26, 200521 yr The White Sox should be getting Huff in any scenario. They're the one who inquired about him and not to ship him off to another team.
July 26, 200521 yr As much as I love Huff we have no place for him really. Pierre stays put, Enc is having a great season(never EVER thought I would say that). Cabs is in left. Trade Lowell away then we have something by either putting Huff at third or moving Cabs to third and sticking Huff in left. Then next year Hermida moves to left and Huff in right. But Lowell would have to go and right now Lowell looks like he's coming back to life.

July 26, 200521 yr Author I figured if we did a three team deal we would find a way to dump lowell's salary. That would be the key I think to any deal we do with a third team.
July 26, 200521 yr I heard that the White Sox wanted Alex Gonzalez... 875210[/snapback] Umm no. The only SS rumors involving the White Sox are for Omar Vizquel.

I'm pretty sure you aren't the White Sox GM... I heard that the White Sox were interested in Alex Gonzalez and it makes sense. Their starting SS is Juan Uribe and he's hitting .238, their manager is ex-marlin 3rd base coach and Venezuelan Ozzie Guillen who is good friends with Alex. Gonzalez.

You obvioulsy havn't seen many Sox games if all you're going on is stats for Uribe. He's a GG caliber SS with an arm comparible to Furcal's. His average is low right now but he's also one of the streakiest hitters in baseball. I may not be the Kenny Williams but I know what the Sox need/don't need. They have no use for Gonzalez.

This way the Sox would recieve Schmidt and Vizquel then move Uribe to third seeing how he's capable of playing three different infield positions. And since the Marlins have no interest in Crede, the Sox would have no use for Gonzalez.
July 26, 200521 yr The possibility would remain to move Crede to another team and put Uribe at 3rd and Gonzalez at short...
July 26, 200521 yr The possibility would remain to move Crede to another team and put Uribe at 3rd and Gonzalez at short... 875305[/snapback] Yet the resurgance of Crede plus the fact that he as well as Uribe is a GG caliber thirdbaseman (Uribe at SS) would say that a trade involving Crede would be unlikely. Unless the two herniated discs in his back become a problem then the Sox could be in the market for a 3B or SS, however the chances of that happening are slim to none.
July 26, 200521 yr Author guys the marlins wouldnt trade Gonzo. Him and Castillo is the key to our philosphy for defense first. Plus we have nobody to replace him. The Idea is a moot point. We would trade Lowell but not him sorry.
July 27, 200521 yr I forget which Florida paper it was in, but I recall seeing something about Alex Gonzalez signing with the Sox next season because of his relationship with Ozzie. I'll pass.
July 27, 200521 yr I doubt it...but I love Huff and I think he will be huge next year (just needs to get out of Tampa). I would do that deal in a second but we would still need another starter. 874936[/snapback] We have plenty of talented starters in the organization... 875181[/snapback] As much as I like gving young players a chance, I don't think any of these kids can be counted on to be a consistent #3 yet

But it could be interesting to see. 874881[/snapback] I presume that it is the Marlins giving TB those prospects. There is no chance that the Marlins get those 3 players for a mere rent of a good, not great pitcher, and for a stiff like Mike Lowell. Lowell is basically one of those freebie players - you don't have to give anything for him as long as you pick up part of his contract. Considering that there is no way that the Sox would prefer Lowell over Huff, the Sox would make 2 separate deals, instead of a three-way.
