fathom Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 QUOTE (quickman @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:59 PM) konerko needs some time off, maybe now is the time. Move swish to first, give konerko the weekend off. Have a backup outfielder in place if we need it. Ask and you shall receive. PK likely out this entire wknd. Anderson to start in CF, Swisher at 1b.

fathom Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 QUOTE (quickman @ May 23, 2008 -> 10:57 PM) you asked who we could get for andersen and I gave you a name. I think they would make that trade, griffey and Dunn will both be traded within the next year. so there you go. I think Ray Durham for Brian Anderson and a pitching prospect is more likely. Nice to see you around here quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29andPoplar Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Have a backup outfielder in place if we need it. DeWayne Wise. "What's Happenin' DeWayne?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29andPoplar Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 so what, we have enough veterans to keep him in line I agree that Freel likes to drinky drinky but lots of players did (do) that. As you say if the leadership is strong enough it wouldn't be a problem. Sheer speculation on this though. Reds are in the basement but only 6-7 out and it's still May. I think their new GM wants to wait and evaluate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29andPoplar Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 geez, people are reading waaaaay too much into such a simple move. Uribe got DL'ed, opening a spot on the bench. It was simple to see who would get called up, and that was Wise. Looking at his numbers, he has plus speed, and has been ridiculous in Charlotte this season. Plus, he is a lefty. This was a simple move, as if he can play all 3 OF positions with plus D, and add a lefty bat off the bench with some pop, he can contribute more so than Getz, or Bourgeois (who's been terrible this year anyway). Totally agree it's being analyzed more than it deserves. If Cowley is to be believed, KW is looking for a 2B who can lead off. He mentioned Figgins, I don't see why LAA makes that deal. Then there's Durham which is a possibility but the White Sox won't give anyone off their 25 man to get him, nor should they unless it's Uribe. Scouring the other rosters ... it's Freel. He hasnt' played much 2B lately but he's not bad there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think their new GM wants to wait and evaluate. While I agree we changed this topic completely and nothing will happen immediately i think freel is expendable at anytime. He is not griffey or Dunn. I think if the osx wanted too they could get this done rather quickly. Anyway, the winning streak ends tonight, LA always gives us fits. We will need to re-group and start another win streak.

witesoxfan Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Why burn an option on Getz? Why call up Jerry Owens when his OPS is sub-.600? The call-up is easy. After Uribe is activated, you hope Wise has either shown he's a capable 4th outfielder and you can trade Anderson for a 2B-leadoff type, that he's bad enough that you can DFA him and he'll accept an assignment to AAA, or he's shown enough that you can get a piece, any piece for him. Period. I'm not really for a Durham trade that involves Anderson because I love the s*** out of Anderson and I think there are a few other pieces the Giants would like more, but it is what it is. Anderson's not nearly as untouchable to me as Fields is, so you do what you feel is necessary. I'm not for it, not against it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wise was brought up because he can hit and from the minor league is our best left hand hitter off the bench.. he can play all the outfield positions.. I looked at Swisher's stats he does not do well from the left side against righties.. If we are going to give Wise a shot try him against some righties and take Swish out for a game or so. We face right handers at least 60% of the time.. Maybe it could be a regular platoon thing if it works... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Wise is gone as soon as Uribe is healthy. They brought him up because they don't care about burning his options. Best case scenario is that Richar's rehab goes well, and quickly, and we bring him up and cut Uribe completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
