JorgeFabregas Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 12:16 PM) Griffey isn't really a CF anymore. Although, I like how you're trying to remind us of '05. Admirable. Looks like the last time he played there was 2006. I would wager that Konerko and Swisher would both put up better numbers than Griff for the rest of the season.

OilCan Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Don't forget that Paulie has that 5/10 status that he can veto any trade. And as a previous poster said, Votto in Cincy is holding up very nicely. I doubt that Cincy would ask for another 1b since their prize prospect is doing pretty good. If anything, Cincy would probably ask for front-line pitching and an OF prospect(s) for Griff....if he would also agree to this too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) In the middle of an offensive tear and a 6 game win streak and we want to trade the captain? Edited June 9, 2008 by whitesoxbrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 8, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) Joe, People are not going to fork over good talent for guys who have underperformed, are older than 31, and have large amounts of money due to them. They are here, hope they hit well for the rest of the season. Not to mention Konerko has 10/5 rights. "Hey Paul, how would you feel about going to Cincinatti?"

witesoxfan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 trade Konerko to bring a nearly 40 year old player in. Quite honestly, that doesn't make sense to me in the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not proposing Konerko to Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyKyGruber Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Didn't the sox offer Brandon McCarthy for Soriano in 06? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DABearSoX Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Is this thread really 3 pages long.....why do people want old man Griffey year in and year out on this team....I don't care if your his biggest fan, we don't need another old man on this team....

greg775 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 I agree with DaBear. Screw Griffey. Don't need him to go with Thome. The crazy thing is I read in the Trib we are looking for cf upgrade and second base. We still got a lot of money invested in Swish. Seems like the outfield is set for starters at least. As far as second base ... I guess Alexei could cool off, but right now he's the young blood we need in an old lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) Can we have a slow down every 3 days of a trade Konerko thread. He is 10/5 and going nowhere! Edited June 9, 2008 by Soxfest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was not proposing Konerko to Cincy. Either way, Konerko is not going to drop the no-trade rights he earned. He's the captain of the team. He's in his 10th season here. They're in first place. He won a World Series ring here. He took a discount to stay here. It'd be bush league for the organization to ask him to leave this season. Maybe if they sucked dick and offered him an opportunity to win a ring elsewhere... but that's not the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveBrown85 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah trade for the white sox franchise player great idea. Trading Konerko is stupid And althought Griffey is my favorite player he is on the decline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
