November 16, 200421 yr http://www.startribune.com/stories/503/5087786.html . talks about how guzman could be signed as early as wed. and by the looks of it, somebody is gonna overpay for him, better not be us. and FWIW the Score reported that the sox are not one the the two teams negotiating w/ guzman currently
November 16, 200421 yr Of course the AP had a story and felt it was the Sox that were going to sign him today or tomorrow. We shall see.
November 16, 200421 yr Worries me is KW might be worried about getting out bid on this one and over pay majorly....
November 16, 200421 yr Worries me is KW might be worried about getting out bid on this one and over pay majorly.... I hope not, I rather outbid for Caberea than Guzman
November 16, 200421 yr He'll be a Whitesox by tomorrow. I honestly would have no problem with that. If not Guzman, then give me Ronnie Belliard and slide Uribe over to 2B.
November 16, 200421 yr I honestly would have no problem with that. If not Guzman, then give me Ronnie Belliard and slide Uribe over to 2B. If you're talking about the Belliard from Cleveland, he's a 2B.
November 16, 200421 yr If you're talking about the Belliard from Cleveland, he's a 2B. Your right, typo there. I meant Belliard at 2B and Uribe at SS.
November 16, 200421 yr Your right, typo there. I meant Belliard at 2B and Uribe at SS. But he's not a FA.
November 16, 200421 yr But he's not a FA. Is he just arbitration eligible? Cause I thought I read at one point that Cleveland wasn't expecting Ronnie Belliard to be with them next year. I thought at one point they were rumored to potentially non tender him, but thats just off memory so I am probably wrong, lol.
November 16, 200421 yr Why would anyone be excited about Christian Guzman? Isn't he Willie Harris with a lower OBP? Guzman (576 AB) .274 AVG 8 HR 46 RBI 10SB .309 OBP Harris (409 AB) .262 AVG 2 HR 27 RBI 19SB .343 OBP
November 16, 200421 yr Why would anyone be excited about Christian Guzman? Isn't he Willie Harris with a lower OBP? Guzman (576 AB) .274 AVG 8 HR 46 RBI 10SB .309 OBP Harris (409 AB) .262 AVG 2 HR 27 RBI 19SB .343 OBP No Guzman has shown he can hit for a higher average, but other then that Willie is superior in terms of OBP and of course his price is a hell of a lot better. But I completely agree with you. I sure as hell hope this talk is insidesr thinking Kenny is going to force shortstop and that in fact Kenny has already turned to look into other areas (thats what I'm hoping for at least).
November 16, 200421 yr Willie's pro-rated numbers to Guzman's AB's leads to 3 HR, 38RBI's and 27 SB's.
November 16, 200421 yr Willie's pro-rated numbers to Guzman's AB's leads to 3 HR, 38RBI's and 27 SB's. Willie can't figure out how to steal a base, he gets no reads off pitchers.. with all that speed and is still clueless.. and Guzman is the same way.. KW DON"T SIGN GUZMAN
November 16, 200421 yr One thing Guzman is on another planet when compared to Willie is bunting. With the way that Ozzie manages, this is one of the only reasons why a Guzman signing wouldnt upset me greatly.
November 16, 200421 yr No Guzman has shown he can hit for a higher average, Has he? .260/.281/.357 on the grass the last three seasons... He would play 150 games on the grass if he came to chicago.
November 16, 200421 yr Is he just arbitration eligible? Cause I thought I read at one point that Cleveland wasn't expecting Ronnie Belliard to be with them next year. I thought at one point they were rumored to potentially non tender him, but thats just off memory so I am probably wrong, lol. Yes, arbitration eligible. They have been trying to trade him ever since the world series was over.
