AngelasDaddy0427 Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 I'm hoping he can get really hot down there and maybe we can use him as trade bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 10 days to decide whether to take his $1M and a tour of the International league or become a free agent. He chose the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox seems to like Widger's defense so they went with him instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegionSox Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Why do people keep assuming that we can trade Ben Davis for something? The only way to get rid of him would be to pay most of his salary so we might as well keep in the minors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 He's a switch hitter right? Maybe he should've just decided to bat on one side and just work on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Maybe he should just retire? Because he isnt major league quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not going to get us a first rate prospect, but he does have some value. I like the fact he's still with us in case AJ or Widger goes down.

I like the fact he's still with us in case AJ or Widger goes down. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, he really doesn't. Any team could have had Davis for the cost of a waiver claim. Unless he lights it up at Charlotte and a team loses their catcher to injury, Davis has zero trade value.

Capn12 Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Trade value? Debatable maybe, but no question, Davis is an excellent "Oh s***!" policy. "Oh s***! AJ is hurt" well, good thing we have Davis down there ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabroni Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I disagree, but whatever. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Davis was put on waivers and every team in the MLB chose NOT to claim him. He's a nice backup in case we have an injury to one of our catchers but other than that I don't see Davis having any trade value. Care to explain why you think he does?

Unless he lights it up at Charlotte and a team loses their catcher to injury, Davis has zero trade value. If a team had claimed him off waivers they would've also been responsible for his $1 mil salary, thus the reason he was not claimed. He also didn't sign with someone else because he would've had to forfeit that $1 mil and Mrs Davis didn't raise that much of an idiot. He still has value to teams(if the Sox pick up most of that salary) and that could include the Sox but we really don't have a need we need to fill at the moment so why force a trade.

If the Sox have to eat most of Davis' salary just to trade him, that means that he doesn't have any trade value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
