Four rival executives said they believe the White Sox are open to trades of second baseman Gordon Beckham, outfielders Alejandro De Aza and Dayan Viciedo and starting pitcher Gavin Floyd.

Yeah, I'd part with any of those except Viciedo.  I'd like to hang on to him, being that it'll be awhile before free agency AND he's so young.  Lots of time to see if he'll develop into a monster hitter (or not).

I'd trade anyone if it makes the team better, but not just for one year.  I like all those guys and would only deal them if it was a no=brainer

Sox sign a AAA SS, been a good OBP guy thru the years, 5th rounder at one time for the Twins, Steve Tolleson.

Sox signed a AAA reliever, Ramon Troncoso, used to relieve for Dodgers from 2008-2011, then was sent back to AAA and struggled in 2011 and 2012. He was tough in 2009.

If thats a sign of what this team wants to sign, AAAA players, in hopes of catching lightening in a bottle then they better go look at past attempts to do that and see what that has gotten them. I sure dont see any improvement in the parent club since the past WS. All I see is maybe going for minor league championships. If this is what Hahn has learned from KW we will suck bigtime this coming season.

Come on, No. Tolleson is a better backup SS candidate than what we just released in Olmedo. This RHP is likely AAA fodder. Did not sign him to a major league contract I do not believe.

These are not mainstream deals, I should have put them under the minor league thread, did not realize I would confuse anyone.

Is that an attempt at being stupid?

Best to leave that to the experts, like myself, Jheter, and Shoeless.

And if you have to attempt to be stupid, you're not doing it right. For some of us, it just flows naturally.

We need a starting 3Bman not a backup SS. See thats the philosohical difference. We also need a starting catcher and I see the Flubs signed one yesterday cheaply. I hope that transaction means they will actually bring back AJ.

Not sure what needing a 3Bman has to do with acquiring a backup infielder, do you think this is the only move we can make? Cripes, winter meetings have not even started yet. Give it some time.

Thats why I said the moves since the WS seemed like minor league moves not backups for the parent club.

Maybe Humber will join Harrell in their rotation.

We non-tendered Humber, Dan Johnson and Anthony Carter (AAA reliever who was with Sox in 2010 or 2011 for a bit, no loss). So now we are at 37, still doubtful we pick any rule V players, we tend not to. Opens up space for trades anyway, so that is ok.

I wish we could just pay Johnson 1.2M as is what he would have looked for in arby. That is cheap for a good bat off the bench, but we really have no room with both Dunn and Konerko. If we traded one of them I would like to give Johnson a shot, bet he would hit 30 with a decent OBP
