November 16, 200421 yr Another positive... Guzman is a type B FA, Castilla a type A. Since washington/montreal has a top 15 pick, Colorado gets their second rounder for Castilla, and the Twins only get a third rounder for Guzman.
November 16, 200421 yr LEts make the Run at Orlando.. Lets not . Go after Polanco and if we can't get him, we'll have to look to another position to get a top of the order guy
November 16, 200421 yr Author In regards to Orlando Cabrerra, I'm assuming Tim Raines may be semi familiar with him so I would guess he would talk with Ozzie and Kenny about him. I wonder if the Braves would move Furcal. I highly doubt it, but you never know what they would give up if someone were to take on one of their bad contracts (ie Andruw Jones). Of course I don't see any chance in hell of it happening, but you never know, potentially the Sox could then move Jones to Pitt or somewhere else in exchange of bad contracts.
November 16, 200421 yr Whew, dodged a big bullet there. Great news. Now who does Minnesota look to play at SS...Jose Valentin?
November 16, 200421 yr Wow dodged a huge bullet there... unreal how badly they over paid him...good for them.
November 16, 200421 yr Great news. Now who does Minnesota look to play at SS...Jose Valentin? They will probably have some minor leaguer that will come up and kick ass. They always seem to have that happen...
November 16, 200421 yr They will probably have some minor leaguer that will come up and kick ass. They always seem to have that happen... No need for that, they can sign Jose and he'll break bonds homerun record.
November 16, 200421 yr Lets not . Go after Polanco and if we can't get him, we'll have to look to another position to get a top of the order guy Yep there is the SOx way of settling for last place. Polanco was a bust as the everyday 2nb in Philly.. and you want to bring him here to play SS everyday.. that makes sence
November 16, 200421 yr Yep there is the SOx way of settling for last place. Polanco was a bust as the everyday 2nb in Philly.. and you want to bring him here to play SS everyday.. that makes sence No, I want to bring him in to be the everyday 2b and how the heck was he a bust with Philly, his numbers are much better then cabreras, Orlando is just an overpaid and less productive uribe.
November 16, 200421 yr Yep there is the SOx way of settling for last place. Polanco was a bust as the everyday 2nb in Philly.. and you want to bring him here to play SS everyday.. that makes sence Wtf you talking about? A bust?
November 16, 200421 yr Yep there is the SOx way of settling for last place. Polanco was a bust as the everyday 2nb in Philly.. and you want to bring him here to play SS everyday.. that makes sence Polanco hit like .290 15 60 .780 per year both years in Philly...how's that a bust? I wouldn't mind signing Polanco and then having him take on Uribe's assumed role this year, that being the guy who pushes the 3Bman, SS, and 2Bman.
November 16, 200421 yr God damnit. Who the hell are we gonna get to shore up our MIF? Not the I really liked Guzman, but jesus. Looking at your sig, I'm kinda surprised you're not overjoyed...
November 16, 200421 yr Looking at your sig, I'm kinda surprised you're not overjoyed... Yeah I actually hate Guzman, but I'd rather have him and Uribe rather than Willie and Uribe.
November 16, 200421 yr Looking at your sig, I'm kinda surprised you're not overjoyed... Ditto. Mike, you've been waiting for this moment.. enjoy it.
November 16, 200421 yr No, I want to bring him in to be the everyday 2b and how the heck was he a bust with Philly, his numbers are much better then cabreras, Orlando is just an overpaid and less productive uribe. Look at Orlando numbers once he hit the AL, much better than the NL numbers.. those are the ones I am going on, since he would hit in the AL 2nd, SS is what the Sox are looking for not 2b.. since KW and Ozzie are high on Harris.
November 16, 200421 yr Yeah I actually hate Guzman, but I'd rather have him and Uribe rather than Willie and Uribe. Even with the money factor willie?? Even without the money I'd rather have willie then guzman, jmo.
November 16, 200421 yr Look at Orlando numbers once he hit the AL, much better than the NL numbers.. those are the ones I am going on, since he would hit in the AL 2nd, SS is what the Sox are looking for not 2b.. since KW and Ozzie are high on Harris. Pretty small sample size you are going by. Also he hit .294 which is good but his .320 obp is not. :puke
November 16, 200421 yr Look at Orlando numbers once he hit the AL, much better than the NL numbers.. those are the ones I am going on, since he would hit in the AL 2nd, SS is what the Sox are looking for not 2b.. since KW and Ozzie are high on Harris. Are you referencing his .320 obp once he got to the al :rolly . I think the sox would rather sign a shortstop so uribe can be that super utility guy, however they'll sign a 2b if they have to and make Juan the everyday shortstop.
November 16, 200421 yr since KW and Ozzie are high on Harris. Really? Then why was Willie constantly riding the bench behind Uribe, and why was it apparent that Ozzie had grown frustrated with Willie?
November 16, 200421 yr If the Sox sign PP, I be on this board from now on.. I can't wait to hear all you b**** about how bad he is.. come mid-June time. Wow and PP obs is whole .025 Higher whoppie.. signing PP is signs of throwing away 2005 season.
November 16, 200421 yr Really? Then why was Willie constantly riding the bench behind Uribe, and why was it apparent that Ozzie had grown frustrated with Willie? All I heard all year from Ozzie, from what I could understand from him.. was how high he was on harris.. Peronally I throw him and bocahrd in a deal together for a bag of balls.. But then again.. that might be to high of an asking price.
November 16, 200421 yr If the Sox sign PP, I be on this board from now on.. I can't wait to hear all you b**** about how bad he is.. come mid-June time. Wow and PP obs is whole .025 Higher whoppie.. signing PP is signs of throwing away 2005 season. Forget his ops and look at the obp. What's the point of signing another guy that has a ton of talent but can't live up to his potential. Cabrera would be bad for this team, while Placido would be great for this team, imo.
