January 13, 200521 yr In this week's edition of SportsWeekly I found the following nugget in the "Buzz" feature in the baseball section (sorry, about no link but I couldn't find the section on the USA Today web site): "The Dodgers are talking to the White Sox about a deal for catcher Ben Davis." Not sure I buy it, but I thought I would throw it out there.
January 13, 200521 yr If that's the case, the obviously don't think Navarro won't be ready until July. I guess this could mean Jamie Burke could be coming back as well, as it looks like no team has claimed him yet. I don't buy the rumor though, we all know how much KW BD.
January 13, 200521 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 01:15 AM) Very interesting. What would we be looking at getting from LA? Minor leaguers? I'd assume so. We don't really have many needs left on this ballclub to fill.
January 13, 200521 yr Well their better be some kind of a catching prospect thrown in to. I mean if god forbid something happened to AJ then that would leave us with Burke and that's it. I don't think any team with catching depth as pathetic as ours can afford to trade their backup catcher. Do the Dodgers have another backup they can give us?

I don't think guys who hit .207 bring much back in trade. Maybe KW thinks Burke makes a better back up and is trying to save the $1 million Davis is getting, and use it on getting another middle infielder, which the White Sox desperately need.

January 13, 200521 yr I found it. Here is the article. The quote is in Bob Nightengale's "THE BUZZ" section on the right side of the page... http://www.usatoday.com/sports/bbw/columni...ading-off_x.htm The Dodgers are talking to the White Sox about a deal for catcher Ben Davis.
January 13, 200521 yr Author The more I think about it, the more I think that this rumor is BS. The only way they trade Davis (given the Sox current catching situation) is if they have another trade in the works involving another catcher. Who is the Sox' best catching prospect? And where is he playing? A-ball?
January 13, 200521 yr I think Davis is far more valuable as a backup than whatever LA can give the sox via trade. With Burke the only C close to the majors [unless Chris Stewart's defense is major league ready--who cares about his offense] trading Davis doesn't make a lot of sense

January 13, 200521 yr Guillermo Mota <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mota is on the Marlins now. He was involved in the Brad Penny, Hee Seop Choi for Lo Duca and Mota trade of last season.

January 13, 200521 yr They could finally give us Jeff Berry or Barry or whichever one Kenny Williams thought he was getting the last time he made a trade with the Dodgers.
January 13, 200521 yr Gagne, I know he is about to go into arbitration. Maybe they will give him up?????????????????????????????? Or probably a player to be named, who is 35 and in double a

January 13, 200521 yr QUOTE(babybearhater @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) it was a joke, you know, ha ha some people are real quick You didn't use green.
January 13, 200521 yr Maybe they would give up Jose Valentin. He would fill our utility IF hole rather well. Why is my green not working?

January 13, 200521 yr QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:55 AM) Thank you. Was it necessary to do that before the upgrade? Yes it was.
