I hope KW will accept Getz and Floyd for Roberts.

It seems fair. I would take Floyd straight up if that was the only possibility.

Uh that thread ran its course and some people were sent to their respective rooms...

For reference I'd check out how things were handled during the Tex saga...

My fault. Mea culpa. Sorry.

Can this thread be about the Roberts trade, and not about Sports Guy? :laughlol:

Too bad, because I would have liked to see some more!

I like Getz but am unsure of his value as a regular 2B'man. It appears that the O's are pretty fond of him, so I may be a little light in my research regarding his talents. Here is an excerpt from BA...

Weaknesses: Getz never had hit more than three homers in a season before getting 11 in 2008, when he was based in a hitter's park. While he occasionally pitched in relief at Michigan, some scouts question his arm, which limits him on the left side of the infield and on the double-play pivot.

The Future: With Alexei Ramirez moving to shortstop, Getz is the White Sox's best in-house option for second base in 2009. If his wrist limits his hitting in spring training, he'll open the season in Triple-A. Long term, he projects as more of a utilityman than a regular.

I would expect his future as a 2B will depend on how much he hits. The HR's dont concern me at all.

He would still make a nice stopgap until a young 2B is ready to fill our hole.

I don't think anybody here thought he was going to be an All-Star, but for a year or 2 he could be our starting 2B then turn into a fine utility man.

Has anyone posted the comparable comments re: Floyd?

Roberts was seen as a utility guy at one point. A platoon of Freel and Getz at 2B wouldn't be horrible for a year and both can leadoff.

Obviously MacPhail should find somebody better than Getz, but he can audition for the full time role in 2009.

I agree....
