September 19, 200421 yr The Tribune today mentioned that if/when Jay Gibbons gets a subtantial raise due to arbitration, the White Sox will be interested in acquiring him to replace Magglio Ordonez in right field. That is of course if Magglio doesn't resign. He is having an awful year, but he's had a few good seasons, and if he's available for cheap due to the raise, I'd definitly take a chance on him.
September 19, 200421 yr I would, too. He's had an injury filled year, but he has patience, very good power, and plays decent defensively. At the price he'll likely go for, he would be a nice pick up for the White Sox. But, boy is he ugly. Think Ron Karkovice. You should have seen the work they did on his face so his bobblehead wouldn't scare children. Mercy!
September 19, 200421 yr I'm a huge fan of his. I'll take him!! A change of scenery is what he needs IMO. Edited September 20, 200421 yr by SoxAce
September 19, 200421 yr Author I haven't signed up the chicagosports.com crap so if someone who has can find the article, or snippet I should say, your welcome to post it.
September 20, 200421 yr Batted above .250 once in 4 years OBP over .333 never. Sign me up!!! Ditto (assuming that was being sarcastic?). Hell, I'll take Carl Everett over him. Like Cheat said, his OBP is low as hell - even during 'healthy' years. He isn't that good, IMHO...
September 20, 200421 yr Gibbons has been hurt this season, All he can do is get better, plus he's a lefty powerhitter
September 20, 200421 yr Maybe we can trade one hideous looking RF for another. They look exactly alike. Freaky...
September 20, 200421 yr Gibbons has been hurt this season, All he can do is get better, plus he's a lefty powerhitter Why can he only get better just because he is only 27?
September 20, 200421 yr Just what we need- another player with a sub 320 career OBP. How about getting some good players onto the White Sox
September 20, 200421 yr How about getting some good players onto the White Sox Why that would makes sense.
September 20, 200421 yr I'd take him if he came here as a backup OF and he was acquired for a minimal cost.
September 20, 200421 yr when you're lusting after marginal hitters from a third-place team, that's when you know how really bad you are.
September 20, 200421 yr when you're lusting after marginal hitters from a third-place team, that's when you know how really bad you are. Who is lusting over Jay Gibbons? I think he is a guy whom we could take a CHANCE on if the price is right, I am far from lusting over him.
September 20, 200421 yr Author Although I am not a fan of trading Konerko whatsoever, if he does happened to be traded, Gibbons is a definite upgrade over Gload at first base.

September 21, 200421 yr We really don't need to take chances. We could probably do a lot better with Maggs salary gone and any budget increases.
