I still haven't caught up entirely, but I thought this might be relevant. The White Sox and Yankees have a good relationship, don't they? So, perhaps NY would let Griffey slip by?

Interesting but there is no space for Junior.  Unless maybe if we moved Dye to SS and Junior to right and Uribe as backup INF.

Uh...

 

Ya I heard we are seriously considering moving Dye to short and putting AJ in right while moving Rowand behind the dish.

 

We need a DH...

Yeah and the posts like

 

We should just package Harris, Borchard, Timo and Kevin Walker for Griffey and Ryan Wagner.

 

 

Spilt milk..

 

 

:sleep

There's a spot called DH. You could put a hitter there who you don't want to play the field.

 

 

LOL

Honestly if the White Sox were to get him in that deal, then I could see Griffey going to LF and Pods becoming a DH since Pods isn't so great at fielding.

 

Griffey would rotate with a bunch of players. He would be in this lineup. His bat is better than anything in our lineup right now.

I really think the Sox need another lefty reliever. Marte is overrated and he cannot get leftys out.

Most Likely Griffey can't play a corner OF position due to the condition of his legs. He will only be playing DH and some CF if we were some how able to swing a deal for him.

Huh? Centerfielders have to cover more ground than corner outfielders.

I would rotate Griff and Everett at left. I totally forgot about Podsednik's defense. I'd put him at DH.

Name one lefty reliever out there that we could acquire. Guardado is the only name that comes to mind and obviously since KW didn't make a push for him during the regular season he would be reluctant to go after him during the waiver process.

i really dont see the point in acquiring burroughs when we have crede and blum, i know burroughs is capabl of playing second but are their other positions he is capable of playing

 

If the Sox pick up Burroughs it will be to push Crede for the starting 3b job next season.

Yeah but corner OFers put a lot more torque on their legs, J.D. Drew was talking about it, that's why he pretty much only plays CF now becuase his legs are in as bad shape as Griffeys and LF/RF put more stress on your legs than CF.

Then I would say Rowand would play LF and Griffey CF.

I woulda just liek to randomly add...

 

Scoring position - .286

Scoring position & 2 outs - .333

J Hood said that The Rockies dont want to resign Fuentes and will probably be put on waivers. On Sporting News Radio I heard Guardado's name mentioned that he'd be a guy that would pass through waivers cause of his injury and contract. Ive been high on Fuentes for a month now and this guy is good. I dont know what Guardado' contract is though. Either way, Fuentes and Guardado, both lefties, good closers. But I agree with you I'd like to see another reliever.

I have a feeling Fuentes and his 328 K are not sliding through waivers.

Then I would say Rowand would play LF and Griffey CF.

I would say Griffey would play DH and SOME CF, hardly any. Pods is the kinda guy that has to be moving around at all times in order to keep his legs fresh, he'll continue to be our everyday LFer.

Kline???

J Hood also on Saturday that he would be suprised if Jose Conteras makes the playoff roster. Shows how much that guy knows about the White Sox despite his claims of rooting for the White Sox. He pulls so much s*** out of his ass.

Kline???

LH hitting .338 against Kline this yera

Kline???

i think that he is probably past his prime. The wear and tear on his arm i pretty evident.

Aw damnit.  Prepare for two weeks of:

Griffey to the White Sox?

Whatever happened to the Griffey deal?

Did the Sox claim Griffey?

 

I have an old buddy at Skyline Chili that said a Reds scout was working the Sox minor leagues.

Damnit.  Damnit.  Damnit.

 

 

I'd rather have this then our world series winning managers, b****ing about Cotts only facing two batters.

Im just interested to see if no one claims Junior and if the Sox make another push, if the Reds wuold trun them down again.

His ERA is in the high 5's....pass.

 

QUESTION: If Griffey was acquired, why not just put him in the 3 spot and at DH and keep the outfield intact?

Wait, why are we talking about this? This deal didn't get done and I know it won't. Sad I know, but I hate having to talk about guys we could've had. Especially my 2nd favorite player ever. I mean if we talk about Griffey, we might as well talk about Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds(both guys we could've had).
