Kalapse Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 And now they're gonna let that pesky little b**** David Exstein go as a result of the signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 The White Sox may be interested in David Eckstein. Rotoworld.com Angels non-tendered shortstop David Eckstein. Eckstein figures to land on his feet after being ousted by the Angels. St. Louis makes a great deal of sense here. The White Sox might also want to consider him as a replacement for Willie Harris.

Chisoxmatt Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 The White Sox may be interested in David Eckstein. I dont really want eckstein his arm is s***. By the way, Renteria's contract IS 4 years 40 million not 36 million Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I dont really want eckstein his arm is s***. By the way, Renteria's contract IS 4 years 40 million not 36 million He would play second and his arm would be perfectly fine there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxmatt Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 He would play second and his arm would be perfectly fine there. Oh yeah, he would be replacing harris. Eckstein would be a step up from Harris. Alright im starting to think its a good idea now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Can we change the headline so it doesnt look like he signed with the Sox? I thought that's what it meant when I first clicked on it....thankfully they didnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 what would make the eikstein signing even better is it could bring rowand down in the order like either 3rd or 5th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Eckstein is a GRINDER ! oh s*** I said that too loud. I hope KW doesn't read these boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxmatt Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 what would make the eikstein signing even better is it could bring rowand down in the order like either 3rd or 5th... I agree. I want Rowand batting #3 especially while Frank is out. Rowand needs to be at a spot in the order where he can drive in more runs. He is a born #3 hitter in my opinion.

bulokis Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Eckstein wont be a bad idea. He was a pesky hitter, we need somebody like him on the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 If Eckstein came cheap, I'd definitely love a platoon of him and Harris at second base. Both would be pretty tough outs at the bottom of the order, and while Eck doesn't hit lefties particularly well (at least he hits them better than Harris does, .340 OBP last year vs. southpaws), he plays the game the right way, a grinder, if you will. I think Guillen would love him on the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 God I'll take Esk. Good OBP, solid leadoff hitter, then we could put SPod in the 2 spot. He can hit lefties and righties, steal bases, fields solid, can flat out make contact, love his walk/k ratio. Yea... I think he's duable.

SoxFan562004 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 wow, I am shocked by the contract... That seems like a lot of money for a guy who people were saying gave up in Montreal... I know he kicked ass for the Red Sox... but this seems like an awful lot for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Eckstein is better than Harris in so many ways. the dude has one more World Series ring than anybody on the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesox91403 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I read on rotoworld that The Angels didn't like any of the starting pitchers left on the left on the market so they gave the mney to Cabrera? Does that mean they have NO interest in Odalis and who else was looking at him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean they have NO interest in Odalis and who else was looking at him? Washburn was tendered a contract, so I'm thinking that's a very good sign they won't go after Odalis or any other starting pitcher on the market.

DBAHO Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Washburn was tendered a contract, so I'm thinking that's a very good sign they won't go after Odalis or any other starting pitcher on the market. Which really leaves 4 main teams out there still going hard for starting pitching. The Mariners, the Dodgers, the Nationals and the White Sox.
