White Sox pushing for Dunn

[Sammy Sofa]

yeah, they thought the asking price was too high on adam dunn so they moved on to prince fielder???

 

If they're going to trade what few valuable young players they have it might as well be for Prince instead of Dunn. They'd be getting a much better return.

 

fielder is younger, better and hasn't reached UFA yet, plus he's regarded as part of the brewers' core. the asking price for him is obviously going to be higher than it is for dunn.

 

You're missing the point: we don't know what was being asked for with Dunn and the White Sox ultimately have a very limited group of truly good young players that a team would want. Dunn's asking price could be too high in the terms of the Nats expecting to get a Fielder-like haul for him. It's likely that both teams are expecting to essentially have their pick of those few quality young players the Sox have, hence my point that it would be better to go with Prince as opposed to Dunn if that's what they're going to have to do either way.

I thint that the Nationals have demanded Gordon Beckham and the Brewers want Gavin Floyd or John Danks because they dont regard Hudson as more than a 3-4 starte, which would be an upgrade for them because besides Gallardo, the Brewer rotation is full of 4-5 starters at best. I think that Foyd or Danks plus for Fielder who is under team control for another year would be reasonable if Jake Peavy hadnt gone down for the year, maybe longer. Get rid of 1 of those 2, all of the sudden what was supposed to be one of the best rotations in the game at the beginning of the year becomes mediocre at best, especially if/when Freddy Garcia comes down to earth. Also, if your going to trade away top young players like Beckham, Floyd, or Danks, you better be making a move that will get you to the World Series, and in the White Sox case, I think that they, the Twins, and the Tigers are all only good enough to be 1st round knock offs with the Yankees and Rangers in their way.

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen thinks clubs are asking for too much in trade talks, writes Joe Cowley of the Chicago Sun-Times.

 

If their talking about The Nats and Adam Dunn, do neither Ozzie nor Kenny Williams have no concept of the value of a Type A free agent with no chance of accepting arbitration? If they mean The Brewers and Prince Fielder, do they not realize that this is one of the best young hitters in the game and under team control for another year, not to mention that the Giants would probably move Jonathon Sanchez, or even Madison Baumgartner, in which case they could probably take John Danks and/or Gavin Floyd and stick them where the sun dont shine?
