I would take Johnson, but not give up too much for him. Maybe we could make it a larger deal and maybe grab one of their young pitchers (perferably Zach Day) and possibly Schnieder.

The Red Sox, seeking a possible alternative to free-agent C Jason Varitek, inquired about Washington C Brian Schneider at the general managers' meetings, only to be told by interim Washington G.M. Jim Bowden that Schneider was untouchable. Schneider, who turns 28 on November 26, led the majors by throwing out 47.8 percent of attempted basestealers in 2004. He also hit a career-high 12 homers in 436 at-bats, though his on-base percentage was only .325. . . .

 

I've long been a fan of acquiring Zach Day though. He's a young groundball pitcher who would be an ideal #3 or #4 starter for us. Washington could have some interest in Garland and some prospects.

Besides him being physically ugly,

Personally, I liked the Ron Jeremy moustache he was sporting last year in Montreal, but hey that's just me.

Johnson would be a great fit.... And with one pornstache leaving(JosE6), we'd need another to fill in...

 

sseriosuly, though, if konekro is shipped out, Johnson would be a perfect fit at 1B... LHB, good OBP. And singe apparently mang't doesn't have confidence in Gload as an everyday 1B, he's perfect.

 

do you think Washinton would accept a trade Anthrax for johnson, straight up?

 

Sorry ican't spell, i'm a little bity drunk. Go HAWKETES

BTW... if you enjoy posting here.... limit the personal attacks. This is debate not  hillbillie's disputin over who gets to pump their sister next. Understood?

WTF is up with this s***? Why the f*** is it ok around here to use a derogatory term, and sterotype, for people who happen to live south of the Mason Dixon line? What's next? Are we going to start throwing around terms like k***, s***, n*****, Dago, Kraut, Mick, f*****, etc.

 

I mean, if this kind of stuff is acceptable around here, just tell me. I can sling vile filthy degrading sterotypes around too. If not, then MurcieOne .... please refrain from any and all discriminatory remarks. Not just those of your choosing. Thank you.

What about Travis Lee as a 1B option?

Lee was discussed too last off-season I think. Some team will pick him up, probably not us, with Konerko, Glaod and Thomas still all around at the moment.

AnthraxFan, you need watch a couple of baseball games before you start making all these outlandish comments. Throughout this entire thread, I have not witnessed one intelligent comment from you. And I still can't believe you think the Sox have anywhere near 40 million dollars to spend. Try using addition in the future before making such a stupid statement.

:dips***

Ok I had Enough of this Guy, someone tell him the house rules or show his way out please

Guys let's just cool it, I don't want to have to close another thread tonight.

Has anyone actually considered the fact Ross Gload could be able to play RF IF we need him to. A platoon of Everett and Gload in RF, wouldn't be the worst scenario to consider, IF the Sox plan on giving Gload enough reps in spring training at RF.

Unless Jurassic comes into camp in MUCH better shape than last year, a Carl/Gload platoon scares the hell out of me in RF.

Gload MIGHT grow into a half-way decent outfielder in time, but I don't want him learning the job at the ML level.

That's why signing a speedy outfield guy like Dave Roberts would be some perfect insurance as a 4th outfielder, because the likes of Timo Perez and Joe Borchard hardly inspire me in that regard. And Everett will most likely be DH'ing for the 1st month anyways.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got him and if we did, I think someone would've been traded before allowing him to start.

I can't read the entire thread so I'll just ask it here:

How is his baserunning speed...

Is he faster then Paulie... I mean if we are going to get another 1B I don't want another guy that we have to pinch run for in the late innings.

I think Timo is going to be a big part of our team as a 4th outfielder.

I mean the guy is a solid pinch hitter and he did well with runners on base. I wouldn't put him anywhere near the starting lineup though.

He's a little faster than paul but it doesn't really matter because almost every 1B has below average speed.

Your funny

This site has gone straight in the crapper as of late...

Just about the same time Anthrax joined...

I haven't paid too much attention to the Pale Hose forum for a little bit...The board's been great.

Rumors are the Expos/Nationals/Senators want Wilkerson to play 1st so that they can free up room in the outfield. His value is extremely low right now, and he's another of those low risk/high reward guys KW likes so much. If we pull off a deal trading PK, and then maybe throw Munoz and a couple mid prospects at them to get N. Johnson, well first we'd be acquiring two Johnsons    then we'd have a powerful left handed stick who'd probably thrive off of Coors East.

Nick Johnson of reserve player fame? Nick Johnson who was injured for much of the season? Puhh-lleeaassee!

Why not? He's not making 8 mil. Makes much less. Had a great season OBP wise for the Yanks. Only 26. Why not? This is a guy I could see KW realistically going after, low risk, high reward.

Johnson strikes me as one of those JD Drew types. If he ever figures out a way to stay healthy, he is going to be dangerous.

Johnson is a strong lefty bat with potential there's no doubt, but he is oft injured. Konerko is not that much older than Nick J. and he's much more a threat with the bat and is established as an all-star caliber player. Plus I doubt that he will really get thrown out at 1B on a hard hit ball to RF as was stated in another post.

I agree-especially because he won't be injured the whole season.

I wouldnt compare him close to Drew because he doesn't have the power of drew. Although, at Johnson's peak I think he'd get a 380-400 obp, 290-300 avg, 15-25 hr. Very solid #'s. I would be happy w/ Johnson as a replacement for konerko if he is traded.

I wasn't talking about his numbers. That is why I prefaced that by saying I was talking about his injury problems.
