The hard-throwing Webb, 22, spent most of last summer at Class A Lansing, where he finished 4-5 with a 5.59 ERA. He was an 18th-round draft choice in 2009, but was paid $450,000 -- three times baseball's recommended money -- for signing after saying he would attend college. At one time he had been projected to go as high as the second round.

Jaye, who just turned 20, was a 17th-round draft choice in 2010 and was 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 13 starts and four relief appearances at Rookie League Bluefield.

Sure doesnt sound like much

I like the Fraser trade... sucked to give up jackson for so little... but to get that kinda return on fraser is good... plus we got rid of tea-bag in that series of trades.

I would like the Frasor trade too if all I wanted was a salary dump. But if you are hoping for major league talent, it doesnt appear to look so good

Dumping Teahen was one of the most productive moves ever.

Acquiring him in the first place was one of the dumbest.

I disagree that acquiring Teahen was a dumb move. Simply because all it cost was Josh Fields and Chris Getz. Both of them are/were useless and had no real value on the trade market. Especially when you consider that Brent Lillibridge > Fields + Getz combined and Lillibridge isn't good enough to be a starter on the White Sox. The dumb move was giving Teahen a 3 year/$14M contract 30 days after acquiring him and before he even played one game in a White Sox uniform.

I put it in the same category as the Tigers being forced to take Dontrelle Willis to acquire Miguel Cabrera from the Marlins. Acquiring Willis wasn't the bad move as it was a deal-breaker to acquiring the best hitter in baseball (Cabrera) for what would end up being 6 bad-to-mediocre players (Dallas Trahern, Burke Badenhop, Eulogio De La Cruz, Cameron Maybin, Andrew Miller and Mike Rabelo). Two weeks after the trade, when Detroit gave Willis a 3 year/$29M extension before he even threw one pitch for the Tigers was the mistake the Tigers made in an otherwise legendary 'steal' of a trade.

Cameron Maybin is a pretty damn good player himself, not with the team Detroit traded him to, but look what he did for SD last year.

Yeah, I was including that as part and parcel of the acquisition.

Source: #Jays seem to be pushing harder for Gavin Floyd over the last 48 hours.. McGuire seems to be the centerpiece to a potential trade.

I see a lot of Sammy Sosa mannerisms with this guy... let's hope he's clean.

If we get him can we call CF the Ces-Pool?

I'm a generous guy...Floyd and Morel for McGowan and Lawrie...

WshflThinking · « **Reply #469 on:** March 12, 2012, 07:01:17 pm »

Anthopoulos and GM Kenny Williams have completed three trades since last summer, as MLBTR's Transaction Tracker shows.

And we have been roundly screwed by them. They'd have to give us half their team for Floyd to help compensate for all the bad deals. And beings that according to Jim Callis of Baseball America the Sox farm system is near last in talent in all of Major League Baseball, their minor league system has to be lots better than ours

Method · « **Reply #470 on:** March 12, 2012, 08:05:09 pm »

Its actually pretty funny.. we should have gotten Dawson for sergio... instead we got molina... Kenny rarely does well on selling Major league talent.

msf · « **Reply #471 on:** March 13, 2012, 08:13:27 am »

Metodo, Morel is gonna be a nice player, GG and he will hit, maybe a healthier Crede with a better OBP but less power.

Method · « **Reply #472 on:** March 13, 2012, 09:00:30 am »

I agree... its Fury that wants to trade him away.

Fury · « **Reply #473 on:** March 13, 2012, 11:30:40 am »

If he hits .280 this season, I'll agree that he's a keeper.

Method · « **Reply #474 on:** March 13, 2012, 11:45:18 am »

I'll be happy with 260 and an OPS of 800 with GG defense.

I am a fan of his all around, and i think he will show a lot of improvement this year... now i wouldn't mind having brett lawrie... but i am happy with morel.

KW should pull the trigger on Floyd for Dawson... not a bad deal and if we're rebuilding might as well shoot for that top 5 pick now.
