Keppinger is only due $4M next year, so IMO his relative inexpensiveness and track record will push his value higher than we expect. |

Cots is showing 4M in 2014 and 4.5M in 2015

If you're going by "needs to be on the team" it's a short list, but I don't think the sox are going to replace 22 players.
Should stay- Semien, L Garcia, Beckham, Gillaspie, A Garcia, Viciedo, Jordan Danks, Sale, Quintana, Santiago, Johnson, Reed, Jones Should go- Konerko(sorry Pauly), Dunn, Keppinger, John Danks, Flowers (keep at AAA as emergency call up at maximum), Axelrod(he'd look good in a Newark Bears uni) On the fence - Ramirez(I don't think the Sox need to dump his salary per se, depends what who can be acquired), DeAza (maybe should stay as 4th OFer due to his relatively strong left handed bat), Phegley (he hasn't exactly impressed, but "he looks like a ballplayer" to me, maybe he can develop as a backup), the other bullpen arms.

If it was me, I'd move Ramirez and Beckham and see what you have with Semien and Garcia. I'm into total rebuild mode though. I'd even entertain deals for Sale and Quintana. If I'm overwhelmed, they're gone.

As for Dunn being one of the most productive players on this team, that is irrelevant as this team sucks. The whole point is a better team in the long run, obviously there is no room for Dunn in that plan. Under my scenerio, you could see what you have with Semien, Leury and the other infield prospects as well. Between the five positions in which you could move the infielders there would be a potential of 810 starts, which could mean 100 starts each for eight players. I would advocate signing a first baseman and leaving DH open. Give him 150 starts between first and DH, that leaves 660 starts which could translate to 110 starts for six players. Basically, I would have A. Garcia and the firstbasemen penciled in for 150 starts. Other than that, the play at other positions should be divided by players based on who executes(if Garcia can't execute he shouldn't get the time either, I just don't feel like he is going to fail). This way we can see what we've got without anyone being blocked, a healthy competition. Personally, I think Beckham could make a quality utilityman provided we have the players to outperform him at all the infield positions. I don't think the Sox should be handing playing time to anyone at this point. You're probably right about Danks, though, he'll be next to impossible to unload. Dunn and Keppinger should be cut if need be, their presence on the roster is not going to help the Sox turn it around in anyway. If the effective Sox payroll is 20 million less next year and 4.5 the year after that because of it, so be it. Last edited by TheVulture; 10-03-2013 at 03:09 PM. |

I'm not sure what value he has, but I think we could get an average outfielder in return for him. ADA actually walks some. I want him out strictly because we need to change the culture and I think the mental clowns, like ADA (and Ramirez and Dunn), need to leave to make that happen. But I think he's a pretty good player and I hope other teams think so too.
