After reading a few articles yesterday.. the Angels could end up seriously powerful next year if they play their cards right. They are in the market for Cabrera, Tejada and Hunter. That's alot of offense. I'm willing to bet they'd have to dismantle their pitching staff to achieve that though.
The White Sox are going to be major sellers this year. Hell they've already realeased Podsednik (overrated anyone?).

I would trade Ellsbury and Buchholtz for Santana because you are trading 2 unknown commodities for a proven commodity in his prime. That's how the Sox got Beckett. Actually, I think Hanley Ramirez was more valueable than Ellsbury, and Anabel Sanchez pitched a no-hitter his rookie year, too. I also think they have enough young players from the system at the moment (Youk, Paps, Pedrioa) that they can afford to let a couple go and restock in the next few years.

No I don't think they'd really go for the CoCo/Schill trade. They would probably take CoCo as he's a fast fielder who could cover the ground in Minn and he might even bat well in a stadium like that. I don't think you'll see Theo even pretend to shop Buckholtz. There were alot of teams interested in him last year and he just wouldn't do it. As far as Ellsbury goes, I think he could seriously be the future face of the Red Sox. He has that potential and he obviously doesn't fold under pressure.
