September 5, 200421 yr idont know about the rest of you but it seemed like when valentin went out and uribe and willie started earlier in the year we really had lots of momentum and me personally wouldnt mind seeing those 2 start next year at 2nd and ss and we upgrade in other positions.... both are cheap as hell 2. maybe sign odalis perez or something and then get JD Drew i know he is a boras client but damnit we can sign a boras client every team thinks they cant sign boras clients(except yanks) but they obviously do or the guy wouldnt have a job so id like us to make a run at him... id much rather have him then beltran 2 and he shouldnt be as much as beltran
September 5, 200421 yr Jose is gone after next year. and thats cool with me he had a good run with us. I think Uribe and Willie need to play everday.
September 5, 200421 yr While I dream a sweet pipedream of Edgar Renteria, I realize that will NEVER happen, so I'm interested in seeing some of Wilson Valdez this month and in Spring Training. Hopefully, he can make the SS situation interesting and competitive. Renteria-type money would probably be better spent on pitching anyway.

September 5, 200421 yr Renteria??? Personally I'd rather see Cabrera. While Renteria is better offensively, I don't think he's a major upgrade (althoguh Cabrera is having a down year). However both are good defensively, Cabrera is a bit better, but most importantly if the BoSox let him walk (dont' ask me if they will) then I think he would be a good pickup, but I'd most like to see the Sox spend money on pitching. Its also obvious they need top of the order guys and I don't think Renteria is a 2 hitter, but I guess you could do it. Its just to me, he's gonna get 8 mill and his production doesn't warrant that. He can't be as good as he was in St. Louis, when he loses all that protection. He's good, but I don't know about 8 mill good.

I'd rather have renteria, to me cabrera is a more expensive version of Juan Uribe and he might not even be as good, but that's jmo.
September 5, 200421 yr I'd rather have renteria, to me cabrera is a more expensive version of Juan Uribe and he might not even be as good, but that's jmo. I agree and his career obp is worse than valentin which does not help.
September 5, 200421 yr Yea i think Willie should be our starting 2nd baseman, and Juan should be our starting SS! Willie is awesome!! They turned an awesome Double PLay today!! Although i don't want JOse to leave! Jose is awesome!!
September 5, 200421 yr He is? ok well maybe hes not the best ss!but hes good! but thats not really what I was talking about! hes a cool guy!!!
September 6, 200421 yr ok well maybe hes not the best ss!but hes good! but thats not really what I was talking about! hes a cool guy!!! Jose is a very cool guy, but even I dont think he should be back next year.

September 6, 200421 yr Jose is gone after next year. and thats cool with me he had a good run with us. I think Uribe and Willie need to play everday. His time here is defenitely over, especially at 5 mil a season. I think Uribe and WH can handle the chores on the infield. Now if we could get a better 3d baseman or at least someone who can teach Joe Creded how to hit we'll be all set.
September 6, 200421 yr Yea i think Willie should be our starting 2nd baseman, and Juan should be our starting SS! Willie is awesome!! They turned an awesome Double PLay today!! Although i don't want JOse to leave! Jose is awesome!! That has got to be the happiest, most excited post i've ever seen.
