If true about Beckham, I think it says a lot about what they think of Sanchez.

It makes sense. 3 are cheap and Floyd is a rental type. The 3 probably have more trade value than 90% of the roster because they arent making much.

[gr8mexico]

Alex Rios name should be included to that list

His worth is probably less than any of the 3, dont know about Floyd.

Does Beckham have much value at this point?

More than most on Sox, it appears the Sox have very little value on their roster. Sale of course, then the closer I guess, after that Im thinking slim pickens.

I disagree I am sure that A.Reed, A.Ramirez, DeAza, Tank, Santiago, Flowers, Floyd, amongst others have value. All teams are out their ready to spend money on the free agent market and I have to believe even Dunn and Rios have value as they only have two years left on their contracts.

I read where Josh Willingham, who is owed less,than half what Dunn is owed, might be able to fetch a #4 starter. I don"t know about Rios, but Dunn has no value.

I heard on the Score yesterday morning that Sanchez and, gulp, Viciedo were 3B options.

I'm not, both were underwhelming at the plate, and are getting substantial raises the next few years yet still have enough potential to interest other teams.
Especially Dayan, since power potential is like gold on the trade market. Remember all those crazy Willy Mo Pena rumors a few years back?

I'm more surprised by De Aza. Seemed to me like he's locked up an outfield spot the next few years. Good leadoff guys are hard to find.

I hope Thornton ends up on that list too.

Mods, please merger with the thread Lip started in Sox Clubhouse. Thank you.

Note on Alex Rios: execs not certain he's available but say would be easier to move his salary after 2012.

Rival team executives believe outfielder Alex Rios’ contract --- which guarantees him $26 million through 2014 and includes a $13.5 million option for 2015 --- would be much easier to move after he rebounded in 2012. Neither is certain the White Sox have made Rios available, however.
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.

Hahn spent the first two days of the general manager meetings in exploratory mode.

Willingham is also older and half the power hitter Dunn is.

They just don't. Reed was a closer with an ERA near 5 last year and was not showing the blazing fastball he had in the minors. His value is not very high right now.

Alexei wasn't that good last year. He has nice range, a good arm that is not always on target, makes dumb mistakes sometimes, isn't really a base stealer, had a power decline etc. His value is probably the lowest of all time right now especially given the fact he is not young

DeAza has value, Vicideo has some value although it isn't extremely high either (big power, no patience), Santiago was up and down, but no one knows what he is, maybe a starter, maybe a middle reliever, maybe a loogy.

Flowers is another guy with value at a supreme low. He is no longer a top prospect, he is now a back up C that did not hit well and had a problem catching pop ups.

Gavin has value but it has to be the right trade. I read somewhere a suggestion of Floyd and a prospect for Moustakas. I would be down with that!

.500 teams generally are not loaded with a bunch of high trade value guys. If they were, they would not be a .500 team.

Might want to check the second part again. His OPS was almost 100 points higher and he is $8 million a year cheaper. As for the age gap, it is a whole 7 months.
