FredGarcia99 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 A while ago this was posted and then was never talked about again, what about picking up alfonso soriano. He would provide power and from my knowledge has decent fielding ability. I also heard that he had problems with his manager in texas so he shouldnt be that hard to trade for. Every time i watch this kid he amazes me. I dont really know how u guys would feel about this so lets hear your thoughts. Also who do u think we would have to give up to get him if we were to trade for him :fthecubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 and from my knowledge has decent fielding ability. Umm... Isn't he an absolutely terrible fielder? Not the guy we need. High power, low OBP righty. We have enough of those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 No thank you. Strikes out and swings from the heels. He is exactly what this organization is trying to get away from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 fielding wise he is a lot like valentin good range but lots of errors... i wouldnt mind him but only if konerko was traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Alfonso's past three years: 2002 AB: 696 OPS: .880 AVG: .300 HR: 39 2B: 51 RBI: 102 R: 128 SB: 41 2003 AB: 682 OPS: .863 AVG: .290 HR: 38 2B: 36 RBI: 91 R: 114 SB: 35 2004 AB: 608 OPS: .807 AVG: .280 HR: 28 2B: 32 RBI: 91 R: 77 SB: 18 77 runs in 608 ABs? That's terrible. If we could get the 2002 version of Alfonso, then I'd be all for it. He'd make a great #5 hitter. 51 doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Looks like a steady slow decline so far. I wouldn't pass him up though, if he was available for some prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox91403 Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I would take Soriano if the deal was right. He is a 30+ SB player. That is what Ozzie wants. I saw a rumor on benmaller.com a while back that Texas was offering Soriano for Garland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw a rumor on benmaller.com a while back that Texas was offering Soriano for Garland. They would except that i think if that rumor was real. I do not see them getting a s*** load more than garland for him but that is just me. I remember seeing that for only a day or two so it wasn't a very big rumor.

BobDylan Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 How does anyone say no to a potential 50/50 guy? If it's Uribe, Harris or Soriano...I'll take Soriano. The Sox can add grinders in RF and 3B a hell of a lot easier than they can at 2B. How many times do you run into a player of Soriano's caliber at a position that isn't normally offensively strong? Not often. Trade Konerko and replace his firepower with Soriano, and get additional speed as well. 50 steals would more than benefit Ozzie Guillen and the White Sox. Alfonso Soriano > Paul Konerko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I agree Soranio would be counter productive. The last thing we need would be more high K swing for the fences kind of player. Plus he has publicly refused to play any other position. I wouldn't touch this guy with a 10 foot pole. No way in hell should we give up pitching for him.

Alfonso Soriano > Paul Konerko Soriano is going to make about $8 million playing a position we can field someone making $300k-ish. That's how you can say no to Soriano, we don't have the payroll and he doesn't fill any of the teams real holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
