QUOTE(SABRSox @ Jan 31, 2005 -> 07:10 AM) I live in LA, and haven't heard anything out here about this rumor. I doubt it will happen, because of the money, but this would be a GREAT trade for the Sox. That's a lot of value for Crede, who doesn't really have a lot of value, but this is dependent on too many things to happen. You never know, though... DePodesta is blowing up the Dodgers, and Kenny may be in position to swing a great deal. not happening. oh, and i live in LA as well.

you gotta just wonder where some of these ideas come from =)

Podsednik - .292 Iguchi - .277 Rowand - .304 Frank - .281 Pauly - .279 Dye - .291 Pierz - .280 Uribe - .260 Crede - .302 Gload - .275 Everett - .287 Buehrle - 4.02 with 235 IP Garcia - 4.25 with 222 IP El Duque - 4.10 with 147 IP Garland - 4.55 with 195 IP Contreras - 3.94 with 175 IP

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Jan 30, 2005 -> 05:22 AM) Hey anyone can copy and paste a good article. It takes a real man to post the lame ones. classic vlassic even.

Having grownup a baseball fan in Japan, a lot of my friends here in the States often ask my opinion on how defecting Japanese stars will do in the Major Leagues. Unfortunately for them and for White Sox fans, it is almost impossible to tell. Tadahito Iguchi had stellar seasons recently, but great statistics have often been lost in translation. Ichiro Suzuki has been a great success, while Kazuo Matsui struggles for the Mets. Hideki Matsui underwhelms in the regular season and dominates the playoffs. Nobody could have predicted the first-year success of the White Sox's Shingo Takatsu after his poor spring training. Nevertheless, I think the White Sox have made a wise decision to sign Iguchi. This is because they don't know what to expect from their own infield. Willie Harris, Juan Uribe and Joe Crede are all young and have been inconsistent. For the White Sox not to bring in an experienced infielder as a safety net would have been foolish. So while one cannot predict Iguchi's statistics this season, I can safely say the White Sox will be happy to have another option in their infield.

since sirus radios stock is at about $6.00 right now.. and xm is at around $33... if they mereged, sirus stock holders (i assume) would get a large boost to their portfolio.... any stock monglers out there think this might be a good long term high risk investment?

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:57 PM) Prior accomplishments? in 2001 he hit 30 HR stole 44 bases and hit above .260 - not outstanding, but good his last 2 years have been carrer years in most aspects.... im just saying hes worth a chance

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:47 PM) This guy has had exactly two good years in the Japanese league. I believe he went 1-19 against major league pitchers in the Japan vs. MLB classic. didnt robin ventura hit something like 0 for his first 40+ MLB atbats? just because he didnt have sucess in such a small sample size (19 at bats) dosent mean you dont give him a look and seriously consider his prior accomplishments.... even more so if your scouts are saying he could hack it in the leauge

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Well you can't blame KW for that. If we sign Iguchi, I don't want to hear anything about KW not getting it done this time around. If we get him, KW's done absolutely everything he intended on doing this offseason. if KW dosent sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason if KW does sign iguchi, i give him an A for this offseason kenny has done a great job this year, and iguchi would be a little icing on the cake that could pan out to be a cherry.

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 21, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) How many of you are going to be b****ing about this guy when he sucks at fielding on grass, and he can't hit major league pitching? if that happens, i wont blam iguchi one bit... for a guy that has the kind of talent and potential he does... you put 6 mill on the line... i mean, s***... we gave borchard 5 million... borchard hasnt had anywhere near the success that iguchi has... i like the risk/reward factor and for a 3 mil per year loss (at most) you take it.
