Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I saw an internet rumor that Boston is interested in signing Graffy. I'd hate to see him leave, but if he gets a big raise, good for him. Works hard, doesn't take a me first attitude, and produces in his role. Of course I remember KW saying Graff is a priority, so I'm sure we'll keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I see a disturbing trend developing with the Sox free agent list. KW says that signing them (Colon, the Alomar's, Tony G, Flash, etc) isa priority and then backs off saying they are out of our price range. I don't know if this is just negotiating ploy, or we are that tight as far as budget is concerned. If Tony G leaves I am assuming Miles will replace him as the super sub.

southsider2k5 Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Of course I remember KW saying Graff is a priority, so I'm sure we'll keep him. This is JR's favorite player. It will be interested to see if he pushes KW to resign Graffy or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 It depends on what Boston offers him. He's definately valuable, but at the same time, the Sox may put their money elsewhere. I like Graffy a lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 I hope we get Graffy back. Seriously, the utility position would be greatly filled again by him...as we all know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishmookie Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 i will never forgive him for screwing up against the flubs two years ago with tjhe bunt that he couldnt put down and his errors but, other then that he was a great utility guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been a sweep. Tony G is great off the bench, but when they played him for longer stretches, he got exposed, and wasn't nearly as effective.

witesoxfan Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 For $2 mill? Maybe Anything more....see ya Tony. Great in the clutch, can play any INF spot and the occassional OF game, and is a good hitter off the bench, who runs well. But there are other options out there. For example, I believe Denny Hocking is a FA....he ain't good, but he can play all 8 fielding positions and is a switch hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say 1 million is fine. 1.2 tops. I like him but not for 2 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Two mill gets you Robin Ventura and he'd be much more effective on the bench. Heck, two mill gets ya Ventura and someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 If Tony G. can get a shot somewhere at being a regular, I'm sure he'd take that over being the Sox utility man again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnSoxFan Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 If he replaces Walker in Boston, let me be the first to say he hits .275 with 20-25 homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Frank, Ozzie, Robin? Lets bring back Alverez to!! Hey...I'd very much support that move. I wouldn't have any problem giving Wilson 1.5 or 2 mill. I know he pitched his ass of last year, but I don't see a team giving him too much money. He'd be a better investment then Scho considering what Scho will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
