CySox Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 A-Rod aint what he used to be... A-Rod won't have any more MVP type seasons with his new stance, and all his numbers this year are mainly off of second teir pitching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Yankees were given that $67 million by Texas, we'd have to demand it as part of any trade (which, of course, would raise the price in terms of talent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iguchi=dank Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Crede, garcia/vaz, and a guy like broadway/lumsden. take it or leave it, and I'm not even sure i like the deal. If you could swing that then you pan off uribe for a good reliever and move up fields and Bmac. Seeing it in writing I don't even know what to think of it. Personally i think ESPN is just blowing smoke with all this talk of trading ARod as a publicity thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 QUOTE(toasty @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) and people said we wouldnt bring back everett again last time First of all, you are comparing trading for Carl Everett to trading for Alex Rodriguez. Second of all, no one ever said that about trading for Everett. And finally, ARod isn't coming here, just like Beltran wasn't coming here in the 04-05 offseason. People, cheesus lice, be realistic here. We are only talking about like the second best hitter in the game here, and perhaps the most valuable player in the game as a shortstop. It's a dream and nothing more. This team has much more pressing needs than an upgrade at shortstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to trade this team's future for someone who's just gonna be 5- or 6-year rental.I think it's safe to say that 5-6 years is not considered a 'rental.' A perfect example of a rental was back in '04 when the Astros traded for Beltran, and only had him for around 3 months before he declared for free agency.

What I will say is that while ARod isn't coming here this season, the thought of him in the Sox lineup would intrigue me and probably Kenny Williams in the offseason, when more such moves are made. Does that help a little Kalapse? Edited July 24, 2006 by witesoxfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
