August 25, 200520 yr Author Since we traded for him. Everyone knew Bellhorn was going to be released, so if we really wanted him, we wouldn't have traded for Blum. I just think that Bellhorn isn't the type of player that Ozzie wants on this team. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Blum was added as insurance at 3rd base because of Crede's bad back. Kenny saw like all of us that Ozuna is just not good at 3rd base. Blum was added to be a backup 3rd baseman and stick off the bench, not for Ozzie to worry about getting him playing time like Timo. He is a bench player. Edited August 25, 200520 yr by GoSoxGo
August 25, 200520 yr Who would have ever thought Matt Smith being outrighted to Charlotte would get so many pages?
August 25, 200520 yr Author Who would have ever thought Matt Smith being outrighted to Charlotte would get so many pages? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because it means a move could be in the near future. Why else would Kenny be freeing up a spot on the 40-man roster?

Blum was added to be a backup 3rd baseman and stick off the bench, not for Ozzie to worry about getting him playing time like Timo. He is a bench player. And Joe Crede is our starter. Trust me, if the organization disliked Crede, he would have been gone a long time ago. Crede will get every chance to prove to the Sox he should be brought back next season through arbitration.

August 25, 200520 yr Just a thought: No one will accuse me of being a dreamer....but that would be f***ing insane if we traded for Griffey Jr. tomorrow, and his first game with the Sox is in Seattle. Has he played in Seattle since the trade?

Has he played in Seattle since the trade? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Wow. Didn't even think about that. That would definately be a pants-creamer. But the deadline is next Wednesday so any move could take another week.

August 25, 200520 yr BTW, quick research shows that Griffey Jr. hasn't been back to face Seattle since the trade. If someone finds out otherwise, please correct me.

August 25, 200520 yr How much longer will this Griffey talk go on? He is NOT coming here!! (gosh i hope i will be eating crow within the next week
August 25, 200520 yr Author How much longer will this Griffey talk go on? He is NOT coming here!! (gosh i hope i will be eating crow within the next week <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, it doesn't have to be a move for Griffey but it could be an open spot for another player. I hope it's Griffey though.

August 25, 200520 yr Damn Rex, where you been hiding at? Haven't seen you post much on PHT in a while...
August 25, 200520 yr Well, the roster spot could have been opened up for someone other than Griffey. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Matt Lawton?
August 25, 200520 yr Author Matt Lawton? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, maybe a guy like Raul Ibanez for example. I just hope it's Griffey, a real difference-maker.
August 25, 200520 yr Roster spot = Young or Owens who are not on the 40 man. .340 hitter with speed or 30-30 man (granted its all at Bham) but would be nice in September.

Both guys are only in AA and probably aren't viewed as being ready yet by management. Also, Pods is due back on Monday so adding Owens wouldn't make too much sense. If they were going to bring Owens up, I think they would have done it right when Pods was placed on the DL. Edited August 25, 200520 yr by GoSoxGo

There was a story when Pods went to the DL that the organization thought Owens was ready, but Ozzie didn't. It could be opening up a spot for him when the rosters expand.
