August 20, 200520 yr I'd like to see the Sox pick him up. He's had a poor year this season, but he's a career .755 OPS, and is currently playing well below that. Plus, he's no stranger to a walk -- despite a .216 BA, he's got a .328 OBP. At the very least, he's a "proven winner" and gotsss the ringzz (or ring) to prove it.
August 20, 200520 yr Where would he play? Seriously, he has no spot to play. Also, I think he might be a product of the product, if you know what I mean?

Also, I think he might be a product of the product, if you know what I mean? Meh -- we wouldn't get him because of his power. He's hitting .216 yet has an OBP of .328. I'd take that over anything Ozuna or Timo brings to the table... He's basically a better version of Geoff Blum. Worse defensively, better offensively.
August 20, 200520 yr One of my all time favorites. Overlooked on every team he plays on. More than likely he'll go through waivers, report to Pawtucket, and be back in September, but he'd be an excellent pick-up for the White Sox. Much more so than Blum..
August 20, 200520 yr Bellhorn could definitely help the sox with his OBP, and ability to take a lot of pitches. His #P/PA of 4.23 would be best on the team. PK's 4.17 is 3rd in the AL. the sox have had the most trouble just getting quality AB's, making pitchers work. If he hits .250, he should have an OBP of .360 The worst guys on the Sox for #P/ PA---Rowand, 3.52; Uribe, 3.56; Crede, 3.64 the best: PK, 4.17; Pods, 3.94; Dye, 3.94 and Iguchi, 3.82 Frank's #P/PA? 4.21 With Timo getting most of the AB's for Pods in LF [Anderson isn't a LFer] Anderson could go back to AAA and Bellhorn take his spot. Seeing how playing rosters are set by Sept. 1st with guys on the 25 man and DL eligible [Pods stays there, Bellhorn could get all of Sept. for a trial run] it gives the sox some options.
August 20, 200520 yr Does anyone seriously think the Red Sox would trade him to the White Sox? Seriously?
August 20, 200520 yr QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Does anyone seriously think the Red Sox would trade him to the White Sox? Seriously? IIRC, if he clairs waivers after 10 days [which he should], he can become a FA free to negotiate a deal w/ any team.
