July 31, 200520 yr 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.
July 31, 200520 yr 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.
July 31, 200520 yr 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. Jul. 31 - 1:15 pm et Ryan Meaux - S - CWS Padres acquired LHP Ryan Meaux from the White Sox for infielder Geoff Blum
July 31, 200520 yr 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.
July 31, 200520 yr 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!
July 31, 200520 yr I think Bloom will fill in good for us...got him for basically nothing...does anyone know his contract status?? Or where i might find info about it? Thanks

July 31, 200520 yr 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.
July 31, 200520 yr 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.
July 31, 200520 yr 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...
July 31, 200520 yr 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.

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.

He has 36 career games at 1B... If he's even halfway decent at the position then I have a feeling we've seen the last of the Gloadster....

The only way this theory is proven is if they move Gload and prospects to Tampa for Huff.
