Adrian Gonzalez to be traded "sooner than later"

[Backtobanks]

Daniel Hudson is going to be very, very good. Mark my words. If he plays in Petco... A rotation starting with Latos and Hudson would be a step in the right direction.

 

Isn't Vlad's contract nearly up? Konerko can't be much more than a DH to just about any team at this point.

Edit: Of course that still pales in comparison to Lincecum, Cain, Bumgarner, and Sanchez (not that I'm super high on Sanchez, but he's a good back end guy).

 

So the Angels are going to give up some good prospects to get an expensive DH? Why don't they just sign a FA like Blalock, Matsui, Huff, Vlad, Thome, Byrd, Dye, Nady, Tatis, etc. to DH for less money than Konerko ($12 million) and no prospects?

 

Hey, I didn't make up the trade idea.

 

I didn't mean to make it sound like I was criticizing you, just trying to point out that the deal doesn't make much sense from the Angels side. Basically the deal makes it sound like the Angels are trying to help the WS get Gonzalez.

It's got White Sox land buzzing, that's for sure.

 

I'm not sure I see the point for the Angels either, as stated.

White Sox get Adrian Gonzalez

Angels get Paul Konerko

Padres get Sox + Angels prospects

 

The only way I can see that going down is with Gordon Beckham involved.

Why wouldn't the Angels just deal with the Padres directly for Gonzalez?

Why would the Angels want Konerko? Why would they give up the type of prospect needed to land Gonzalez for him?

Beckham will not be traded. The only thing that I can think of is the Angels are getting more from the Sox than just Konerko (or paying a portion of his salary).

 

Also realize this "trade" was started on a WSox fan website.

Flowers, Hudson and Viciedo for Adrian Gonzalez...close, kind of close or not even in the neighborhood of close?

That wouldn't do it for me. I'm not as high on those White Sox prospects as others might be.

 

 

 

Ouch, sorry White Sox fans.
