3E8 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 $1,000,000. Good. No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 He is not really an everyday player because of his lackluster bat. He could get by in Boston because the rest of their lineup was so dominant. Here, he would be expected to contribute more than he can produce. Nice utility player/defensive replacement for late in games, but nothing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 sounds like a good idea to me, where would he bat though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 No, No No, to Reese. We have this guy on the roster already for a much more reasonable price. Cora is the logical answer to the middle infield problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmatt Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Wouldnt he be just another Willie Harris type hitter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I would take Reese over Cora. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Yeah I think Reese is too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaseballNick Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I say no to Reese and NO to Cora. We already have this type of player in Wilson Valdez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmatt Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I say no to Reese and NO to Cora. We already have this type of player in Wilson Valdez. We need a guy that can hit well. We should get Cairo or just stay with harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 I thought of Reese because he has played short and is right handed. I am okay with Harris at second versus righties but maybe we get a platoon partner for lefties. I also wanted the partner to be able to sub at short to give Uribe a day off. Hence no Grudzielanek who hasn't played SS since 99 and fielded .955ish, Grudz also hit .220 vs lefties. I don't know if that is typical avg. Valdez may be better served to play everyday at AAA.

qwerty Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 I would take Reese over Cora. Why? Reese is horrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 If camp opened today, it would be between Valdez and Dransfeldt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That funky motion Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 If camp opened today, it would be between Valdez and Dransfeldt. It could be worse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 If it comes down to it, what we might be able to do is platoon Harris and Valdez at second base. I have to think that Valdez would be able to hit left handed pitchers at at least a .270 rate or so. Then again, like JUGGER has been preaching, Cairo would be an awesome pickup. Cairo kills lefties, and I honestly believe that if you were to platoon Harris and Cairo, you'd have yourself a .300 hitter with a .380 OBP. Cairo really would be an awesome pickup...
