LosMediasBlancas Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 OK, am I nuts, or was there not a quote from KW recently in which he said AJ didn't fit into our plans??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 OK, am I nuts, or was there not a quote from KW recently in which he said AJ didn't fit into our plans??? He mentioned that how it happend about 2 weeks ago, but Ofman and Levine are now saying the Sox have renewed interest in AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 The one thing I will speculate on is this. When the Sox have made there signings there haven't been rumors of them offering the particular guys contracts, more like straight up signings. I guess El Duque started more as a rumor, but kind of a rumor of it being a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSOX45 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 What time did this report come in? If Bruce and the Score are reporting it, then I guess it's a possibility. Â I've never liked A.J., he's such an asshole, but if it helps the team then do it. Â One more question, how much was A.J. making with the Giants before being released?

EvilJester99 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 The only thing that makes me a little nervous about AJ is his defense and with pitchers like Contreras and Garcia, you need a pretty good defensive catcher back there to stop any pass balls....

southsider2k5 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Or it could have been the Sox were targeting other players and those moves fell through so they went back to AJP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 With these new comments, I think its safe to say the remaining "piece of the puzzle" will either be AJP or a middle-infielder. Â Its as simple as that. Now, we just have to wait and see. Â If AJP is signed, I think Kenny will pack it up and call it an off-season. Â If a middle-infielder is signed (Iguchi,Cora,Cairo), I think Kenny will pack it up an call it an off-season. Â Look for one of either AJP, Iguchi, Cora, or Cairo to be brought in.

CWSOX45 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 So how much money does KW have to work with? I haven't been keeping up with our budget, if someone could direct me to another thread with the details or just fill me in it would help me get an idea of how much we have left to spend.

CWSGuy406 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 AJ is one of the best in the league at blocking pitches in the dirt. Good point. Â The arm isn't great, but he can block those pitches. That is huge, especially for Contreras and his splitter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilJester99 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 AJ is one of the best in the league at blocking pitches in the dirt. Really?? I thought I read somewhere that his defense wasn't all that great...maybe I am mistaken... wouldn't be the 1st time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He calls a good game, and stops a lot of balls in teh dirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
