White Sox Acquire Mark Kotsay, Trade Brian Anderson to Red Sox

Kotsay will join the club on Wednesday. The White Sox also receive cash in the deal.

Kotsay's experience at 1B may make Josh Fields even more redundant.

We're filling out quite the lineup these days

Mrs. Pods, Ashley Richard, and now Jamie Kotsay? That’s some terrific scouting we’re doing.

I haven't really paid attention to the Red Sox roster this year

Would Brian Anderson have a spot on their big league club?

A Red Sox press release says Anderson will be assigned to Triple A Pawtucket.

Thanks, Mark.

I think it depends a little on Colon's start.

He tanks, Richard is entrenched in and KW goes and gets a lh reliever.

Kotsay is a backup 1B at this point -- he can't really play the OF anymore

Fields will be off the major league roster. He has an option left, so I suppose he might just get sent to AAA. But I’ll guess that he’ll probably be sent packing by the deadline as well.

by hitlesswonder on Jul 28, 2009 2:28 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

kotsay probably could still play a corner

but probably won’t need him to with wise and probably nix ahead of him.

White Sox acquire Kotsay, cash from Boston for Anderson
By Mark Gonzales


MINNEAPOLIS – The White Sox added a left-handed bat by acquiring veteran outfielder Mark Kotsay and cash considerations from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfielder Brian Anderson.

  
Kotsay, 33, is a .281 (1,543-5,493) hitter with 306 doubles, 110 home runs and 614 RBI over 13 major-league seasons with Florida (1997-2000), San Diego (2001-03), Oakland (2004-07), Atlanta (2008) and Boston (2008-09). The 6-foot-0, 205-pounder batted .257 (19-74) with one homer and five RBI in 27 games with the Red Sox in 2009 before being designated for assignment on Friday.


Since the start of the 1998 season, Kotsay ranks third among all major-league outfielders with 113 assists, trailing only Bobby Abreu (117) and Vladimir Guerrero (115).
  


Kotsay owns a .373 (25-67) lifetime average as a pinch-hitter, the second-highest mark among active players with at least 50 pinch plate appearances behind Seth Smith.

we’ll be OK. Guess Seth Smith was not available.

He's the required veteran former-OF deadline acquisition

Adds veteran presence, a kind-of-crappy lefthanded bat to rest konerko against RHP and pinch-hitting ability(!) off the bench.

BA clearly had 0 value….and that’s what they got for him.

by hitlesswonder on Jul 28, 2009 2:35 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd rather the Sox got nothing.

There’s a reason that Boston DFAd Kotsay – he’s toast.

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Jul 28, 2009 2:37 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

Fields can't hit either, so I don't see it being a big detriment

If Kotsay for some insane reason actually plays with regularity then you’ll be right. I’m hoping Kotsay plays less than Fields currently does, but that just might be optimism.

I agree, but I think Fields will be moved in a similar trade to this

Something along the “bad A ball reliever” line — I don’t expect value in return, I think they just want him out of the organization.

Kotsay had a good '08 season, batting .289 in 88 games.

But he’s only gone more than 56 games in a season once in the last four years (not on pace to pass that mark this year). Is this guy an injury magnet or has he always played back-up?

The Red Sox are really smart.

From MLBTradeRumors.

“This isn’t about Brian Anderson. Its about the Red Sox controlling where the players they dump go.
They released him, so he was going somewhere. This way he doesnt end up patrolling Yankee or Tampa outfield.

L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he’s leavin’ the life he’s come to know,
He said he’s goin’ back to find
Ooh, what’s left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He’s leaving,
On that midnight train to BOSTON,
And he’s goin’ back
To a simpler place and time.
And I’ll be with him
On that midnight train to BOSTON,
I’d rather live in his world
Than live without him in mine.
He kept dreamin’
That someday he’d be a star.
But he sure found out the hard way
That dreams don’t always come true.
So he pawned all his hopes
and he even sold his old car
Bought a one way ticket
To the life he once knew,
Oh yes he did,
He said he would
Be leavin
On that midnight train to BOSTON

(Even more Rain Drops of tears………my eyes are a floodin’….)

If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away;
All the birds that flew in the summer sky,
When our love was new and our hearts were high;
When the day was young and the night was long,
And the moon stood still for the night birds song.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, Ill make you a day
Like no day has been, or will be again;
Well sail the sun, well ride on the rain,
Well talk to the trees and worship the wind.
Then if you go, Ill understand,
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go, as I know you will, you must tell the world to stop turning
Till you return again, if you ever do, for what good is love without loving you,
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go, Ill be dying slowly till the next hello,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
But if you stay, Ill make you a night
Like no night has been, or will be again.
Ill sail on your smile, Ill ride on your touch,
Ill talk to your eyes that I love so much.
But if you go, go, I wont cry,
Though the good is gone from the word goodbye,
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.
If you go away, as I know you must,
Therell be nothing left in the world to trust,
Just an empty room, full of empty space,
Like the empty look I see on your face.
Id have been the shadow of your shadow
If I thought it might have kept me by your side.
If you go away, if you go away, if you go away.

Yeah, but I think Fields will be gone as well (but not as part of any substantial trade)

He was whiny about playing time — had to have a face-to-face meeting with Kenny and has to be the type player (no glove, K’s) that Ozzie doesn’t want. Although he can bunt.

Every team in the game wants Crawford, believe me

Mitchell will be hard-pressed to match his production. Their games are, at this point, pretty different, too. Crawford was leading the league in steals at Mitchell’s current age. The only parallels I see are that they are black, very fast, and athletic.

As a hitter, Mitchell will probably be closer to Curtis Granderson or Milton Bradley than Carl Crawford. Holding true to the player comparison golden rule, of course.

by Daniel Berlyn on Jul 28, 2009 6:44 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'd take either, without Bradley's attitude

and injury hx. I think you might be early in judging, though, as he has not devoted all of his time to baseball. We’ll let it unfold.

What I'm saying is that, by default, Mitchell is a high strikeout high walk player

He’s going to be a little older by the time he’s polished and his max value, as of now, looks like it may be as a power hitter with decent value on the bases and in the field rather than a line-drive hitter with a ton of value on the bases and in the field. Mitchell and Crawford, in their infancy stages of pro ball, are at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to discipline and aggressiveness.

Pretty sure if Mark throws a perfect game tonight

It will be the first time a pitcher has thrown back to back perfect games with 2 different catchers.

Sox win, cubs lose.....what a wonderful world!

At the least, our future #2.

The OF will be wicked too, with Owens-Anderson-Sweeney left to right. Fields-Cintron-Figgins-Kotchman around the horn.

Wicked HAHD!

I thought Allen was going to be in Kotchman’s place?

au revoir from BA
He leaves with no hard feelings, including toward his manager.

“That was all played out moreso by the media and by the fans,” said Anderson of his relationship with Guillen. “We weren’t the closest on the team, but his job is to manage and not to be my friend. He was doing his job.”

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election. A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita. The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
