QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) Who says Oakland is going to dump salary? They still need someone to market in order to draw people to the ballparks. Beane chose Chavez over Giambi and Tejada. With his ego, do you really think he would just give up on Chavez just for Crede and McCarthy? How would that make him look in three years when Crede and McCarthy are All Stars? GMs live for finding diamonds in the rough. That said, I'd make the deal. Boras probably wants $10million/year for Crede, so forget him.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) I'm looking at the print edition of the Daily Herald right now. Scott Gregor wrote a column this morning that this rumor exists. There is no mention of how and where the rumor got started, nor are there any comments from Oakland or White Sox sources. And we all know how Kenny Williams feels about tipping off the media after they lost Vizquel. He's going to be more secretive than Jerry Krause from now on.
