December 10, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 11:33 PM) Why? Great hitting shortstop, great run producer, good D ( not as good as Uribe), add to Konerko, Thome..... Have enough to give Baltimore also to make it happen....
December 10, 200520 yr Author QUOTE(Felix @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) How long until this thread gets deleted for just being stupid? you wouldn't want him if the deal was right?
December 10, 200520 yr Why should we give up a very good starting pitcher along with other key players/prospects to fill a need that we do not have, SS.
December 10, 200520 yr QUOTE(bogie @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 06:37 PM) you wouldn't want him if the deal was right? The deal won't be right, and can't be right. His salary is too large, and he gave up on his team last year. The White Sox don't want overpaid players who give up on their team.. its not a fit. Give it up.
December 10, 200520 yr ill take the tejada for borchard and willie deal. but other than that, no gracias.
December 10, 200520 yr Thats all we need. A player that wants out because he is on a losing team. He signed the contract, honor it!

December 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(bogie @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) WHY NOT? Because you would have to tear up the best team in baseball to get him and pay him.
December 11, 200520 yr http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5157958 White Sox, 30 to 1: G.M. Ken Williams is always up for a blockbuster, and Tejada would be a major upgrade over Juan Uribe. But with Konerko and new designated hitter Jim Thome set to earn a combined $20 million annually, it's doubtful the White Sox could absorb Tejada's contract. Then again, the White Sox could start their package with right-hander Freddy Garcia, who is earning $9 million next season and $10 million in 2007. They also could include Uribe, one of their rising young outfielders and a pitching prospect. Garcia, Uribe, one of our outfield prospects, and a pitching prospect? Way too much to pay for Tejada.

Way too much to pay for Tejada. First, I don't consider Tejada a "major" upgrade over Uribe. And he definitely isn't worth Garcia and Uribe.

December 11, 200520 yr First, I don't consider Tejada a "major" upgrade over Uribe. And he definitely isn't worth Garcia and Uribe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Offensively, Tejada is a major upgrade over Uribe. Not defensively though. :puke <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My thoughts exactly. Edited December 11, 200520 yr by SSH2005
December 11, 200520 yr i think yansy was thinking or at least that is the way i interpreted is, as a whole package, tejada is not a major upgrade. and i agree. what we have to give up to get him is not worth it.
December 11, 200520 yr Miguel Tejada is probably my favorite non-Sox player(though I say that about a lot of guys I think)...but if he were to be traded to the Sox, I'd probly be a little pissed about the whole thing, due to how much KW would have to give up.

December 11, 200520 yr We won a championship with a team built on pitching and defense. To land a guy like Tejada, we would have to downgrade our pitching and defense. No thanks. He needs to stfu and honor his god damn contract.
December 11, 200520 yr QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Dec 10, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) ditto! ^^^^ Its typical for the Red Sox and Cubs to go after a guy like that. Yep- TRASH there farm system for a 'super star' player. If the Sox had a huge hole at SS or were still in need for a big time bat, I'd be really high on giving up a few top notch prospects for Tejada. The guy is arguably the best shortstop in baseball and unlike some of them he's signed to a very fair deal (basically Konerko's deal). He's above average offensively and defensively and is a hard working player (although he stunk to finish the season but so did everyone on Bmore). Tejada is a very good player and would be a big time pickup for the BoSox, Cubs or any other team looking to get better.
December 11, 200520 yr Honestly, if the Sox had a younger El Duque I'd make that proposed deal (well Freddy) although I'd hold onto Uribe as a super sub (this is in a make believe world). But the Sox aren't in position to deal Frederico (even though I have my doubts as to his long term durability, although I hope I'm wrong).

Why? Freddy has started atleast 33 games in 6 of the last 7 seasons. Is it because he sweats so much?
