Example?
edit: I take it back. How about good value, that's really what we're talking about here. When was the last time a reliever in a walk year got traded for an A list prospect? |

Well now you're just moving the goalposts aroud on me, but I'd personally be happy with a B-level prospect for a guy we're going to lose this off-season anyway. I know the Sox need some top level talent, but they also need a lot of organizational depth as well. Really anything at this point helps.

I don't expect a top prospect, but I would be annoyed if they didn't get one steady starter out of these guys they could sell.

And who is to say any of those prospects are going to great let alone average or a complete bust. For every Mike Trout their are plenty of herald prospects who end up going bust. Prospect is just like the word says. The Yankees for years sent there prospects to Kansas City for proven players and Kansas City kept finishing at the bottom of the standings. I understand that your farm players are very important; but to say if the Sox were able to get the aforementioned players would be a steal is premature at best. It might look good on paper but it only counts on the field. Winning requires skill; but also a lot of luck. I'm pretty sure no one looking at the Sox's 2005 roster thought they were headed for the World Series. The Sox need to upgrade their defense CF, 1B, SS, and Catcher. Hopefully they hold on to most of the pitching and are able to acquire players in trades and the off season to be able to compete.

I just listened to the Score talk about how if this team gets gutted noone will come to the ballpark. I don't believe that. I don't think attendance would go up, but I think people would still come out for a team that isn't paying a ton of money to lose as much as they are.
I'm not sure who the Sox should target. Hitting definitely needs to be improved. It seems like the toughest place to get a hitter in free agency these days is 3B. It'd be nice to see them upgrade that position young and build around it. I personally could live without Peavy, Thornton, Floyd, Crain, Konerko, Rios, Dunn. That's the majority of money there. There's not much I'd say is necessary to keep. Sale, Quintana, and Ramirez if you can. Save some money and get that power position player after some younger talent is developed. Build a defensive team with good pitching and move on. Bring in the big money players when the supporting cast is assembled. |

If there are any pluses for the Sox in the long-term, it's that we don't have (m)any bad long-term deals. Just $75 million on the books in 2014 and $36 million in 2015. The Sox may not have a lot of young talent, but they do have quite a bit of flexibility for the future.

The LA media seems to think the Angels are going to trade either Mark Trumbo or Peter Bourjos for some pitching. Either of these guys would look good in a White Sox uniform. The LA media claims the Angels have absolutely nothing in their farm system to help their pitching staff. They seem to think the Angels have a glut of outfielders and are going to move at least one of them.
