White Sox reunite Peavy and Adrian Gonzalez? Pinch me!!!

[Jays_Cards]

[quote="Jays_Cards":2waeawtm]This makes almost no sense for either the Padres or the Angels. I really dont get it at all...Unless the package is something along the lines of Beckham, Hudson, Flowers (to SD) and Konerko (to the Angels) this reeks of a terrible, terrible idea. I dont think this will ever top "speculation" though.

Don't forget that the Angels are loosing Vlad to free agency and need a new Dh.

I am thinking along the lines of::::

To Sd:
Hudson
Flowers
Jose Arredondo
Brandon wood

To Anaheim: Konerko
To CWS: Adrian Gonzalez

Thats just not enough from the Chi Sox in my mind and WAY WAY too much from the Angels. Ignoring the salaries of each player (which again would be an ENORMOUS win for Chicago), that trade is way uneven from a talent perspective.

You think Arredondo and Wood is WAY TOO MUCH for Paul Konerko? Really?
I would do that trade in a heart beat[/quote:2waeawtm]

Do I think Wood and Arredondo are too much for a 34 year old (when the season starts) DH who makes $12M and will put up .270/.350/.460/.810 stats with around 25 HRs and 90 RBIs? Absolutely..It's moot really since there is a 0.0001% chance that Hudson and Flowers are enough for Adrian Gonzalez. Due to his team-friendly contract, age, and defensive ability, Gonzalez is in the top 5 most valuable players in baseball. Add the fact that he is the face of the franchise in SD and that he is from SD, and you understand why it has been said that it would take 3-4 top prospects to acquire him.

It would take WAY WAY WAY more than that to get Gonzalez from the Padres, Flowers would be a p;ayer they want but unless it involves Beckham or some stud arms the Pads will just hold onto him.

That would be true if the Padres made intelligent moves with their players... they'll end up giving him away if history is an example. I hope they don't, but I don't have much faith in the Padres FO lately (even though they have mixed things up there lately).

The new GM is no fool. San Diego will get a lot for him - much more than Flowers as a centerpiece to a deal.

Yes, not sure people are taking into account the new GM in San Diego,(Jed Hoyer)
