SnB Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(bulokis @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 12:17 PM) Great addition to the bench. Pretty sure he plays better 3rd than Ozuna. i could play better 3b than ozuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) has to willie. has to be. Unless someone is sent to another team. If I were TB, I wouldn't mind having Ozuna thrown into a big trade. For all his problems at 3B, he's been a pretty steady SS, and has shown he can hit, and makes the minimum.

fattyguy78 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Rotoworlds take....White Sox acquired infielder Geoff Blum from the Padres for LHP Ryan Meaux. Insurance with Joe Crede on the way out? We hope not. Blum will be an upgrade over Willie Harris in a utility role, but since manager Ozzie Guillen likes Pablo Ozuna, he shouldn't get enough at-bats to have any fantasy value. Blum was hitting .242/.323/.377 in 223 AB for the Padres.

Guest JimH Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 you and Jim must have the same phone lines. Literally Jim said the same thing word for word. Jim got caught cheating in school as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Stop, I did not say United Airlines. I can't wait until after this deadline is over so you can go down into that wine cellar of yours and open a bottle of nice wine and relax yourself.

White Sox Josh Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Good trade as long as this isn't the only trade they still need another bat. I think Blum is a good utility man and will play the role perfectly and it also means this: WILLIE HARRIS=HE GAWN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowand44 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 For Meaux this is a good deal. Now we have a real backup third baseman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Isn't Meaux the guy the Sox traded a year or two ago and then got him back this year via waivers or rule 5 or something. If so, Blum for someone off of waivers is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Nice move. I know we're all looking for a blockbuster, but its pretty important that we solidify our bench. Especially when you consider the games that Ozzie likes to use his B-lineup. He's a switch hitter that can play a bunch of positions. This kind of reminds me of when we acquired Tony Graffanino in 2000. Not saying he's as good as Tony G., but he can definitely fill that role.

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 I wouldn't be so quick to punch Willie's ticket... It's common knowledge that Ozzie dislikes Gload... If he can play 1B then Gload needs to watch his back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 When playing third base, Blum hits .309. My guess is he starts two games a week at third, in order to ensure Crede is healthy for the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are right, this doesn't necessarily mean we've seen the last of Willie. Gload is another guy who might interest a team as a throw in. If any other team's GM read this site the last few months, they can only come to the conclusion that Ross is bound for Cooperstown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way this theory is proven is if they move Gload and prospects to Tampa for Huff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
