soxmalone21 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 On Whitesox.mlb.com someone posted that they heard that there is a trade brewing that would send Marte, and Harris to the Florida Marlins for Luis Castillo. I know that it's probably old news, but don't know how relaible this source is, but it's something to stay tuned to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabroni Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Why not a reliable person on that site huh? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you read those boards for long enough you will realize why. It's filled with trolls (some Cubs fans / Sox bashers) and people who like to make up bogus trade rumors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnin Ugly Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 When I heard of this trade awhile ago I called a friend who lives in Fla.. He has some pull since he works for one of the newspapers there has an intern for the sports section.. He doesnt think that Fla will trade Castillo but he has heard that the Whitesox are intersted in Alex Gonzalez.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxmalone21 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Are you kidding me Winning Ugly. That would stink if we got Alex Gonzalez. What was his stats last year. I would rather have Castillo than Gonzalez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winnin Ugly Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I wish I was kidding but I guess Ozzie likes A Gon defense game.. I think A Gon had 240 avg with 24 Hr's. with a low OBP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I see no reason in getting Castillo if we do get Iguchi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I will stay out of this one other than to say it makes quite a bit of sense the White Sox might be interested in Luis Castillo. Â A lot of sense. Â Heck, it seems like they've inquired about almost every 2B in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I also read on that site that Magglio is announcing his retirement in a press conference today at 2:00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Lets face it, KW isn't done this offseason. He will either get a starting 2B or a utility infielder who can play 2B, 3B, and SS. I won't be surprised if KW tries to aquire Graffinino from KC. The Alex Gonzalez rumor sounds interesting as well. I wouldn't count out the Iguchi signing just yet... I sense something happening within the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OFSoxFanMike Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I would think that the only reason the Marlins would need to get rid of Castillo is if they end up signing Delgado. Then they may need to clear up some room. I would love to have Castillo, but it would be hard to give up Marte. Dominating lefty set-up men don't exactly fall from trees.

soxmalone21 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 The Alex Gonzalez thing doesn't make sense because of his stats, but whatever. That site does have a ton of trolls on it though because now another thread came up, and the poster said that there is a press conference at 2:00 about Magglio Ordonez and his retirement, so who knows about the credibility on that message board.

Winnin Ugly Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I would love to see KW called the Bluejays to see if Orlando Hudson is available that dude is going to have a great season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OFSoxFanMike Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I would have rather re-signed Valentin than go after Gonzales. At least Valentin is clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beck72 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 The guy who started the thread, jiminusrex, is an old, reliable poster.

I responded but he hasn't replied. But he's not the type of poster to start a bogus rumor. I believe he's had some contact w/ local sports writers in some capacity in the past.
