December 22, 200421 yr from rotoworld Since Orlando Hernandez wouldn't require as much money as was set aside for Matt Clement, the White Sox could pursue free agents A.J. Pierzynski and Alex Cora. Pierzynski would be a clear upgrade over Ben Davis. Cora would also help, though one has to wonder if the White Sox would consider him if he weren't the younger brother of third-base coach Joey Cora.
December 22, 200421 yr from rotoworld Kenny said it's not happening(Aj, that is), rotoworld can believe what they want, unless kenny is lying to stay under the radar, this ain't happening, imo.
December 22, 200421 yr Hell if the Sox could now get both or Pier and Eck...this would be a damn good offseason... one of the best in quite some time.
December 22, 200421 yr we'd also have a team where the money is spread out and not going to just a handfull of guys.
December 22, 200421 yr i think we need AJ to tell you the truth, the catching situation is the only thing that i dont like about this team.
December 22, 200421 yr No Aj. Ain't happening. Bring on Eckstein. Enjoy Soxfest, then count the days until Spring Training. I'd be all but satisifed.
December 23, 200421 yr No to Eckstein. Nearly all of his ab's are as a leadoff hitter where he has an OPS < 700. He does not fit well with the CWS. Pods & Uribe will beat that & possibly his 343 obp. I'm not willing to experiment with him in the 7-9 spots. What we need: Zaun & Cairo. Both are proven 7 & 9 hitter. 7-Zaun 349 o, 469 s 8-Crede 330 o, 503 s 9-Cairo 368 o, 436 s AJ can't block a pitch or throw out a runner to save his life. That's why the SFG said adios. Zaun is a better fit for the CWS.
December 23, 200421 yr we'd also have a team where the money is spread out and not going to just a handfull of guys. good point
December 23, 200421 yr AJ can't block a pitch or throw out a runner to save his life. That's why the SFG said adios. Zaun is a better fit for the CWS. that's what i was thinking about aj, esp. w/ our staff.
December 23, 200421 yr im not too worried about the catchers position...if we upgrade it great, if not, oh well
December 23, 200421 yr ok, that does it, ROT world can no longer be used as a 'source'. Have fun finding another place that gets updates quicker.
December 23, 200421 yr That rotoworld quote was nothing but pure speculation on their part. There isn't even a "rumor" aspect to what they said. For the record, I agree with JUGGER. Zaun would be a very solid addition to this team. I can't argue against Cairo, either.
