December 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 12:32 PM) I don't think anyone is suggesting this at all. You are bringing in someone to strengthen the bench. LA fans may hate Uribe but when he was here the players ssaw him a sa great team player. If we don't ever consider signing Juan Uribe I am fine with that too. Nothing about what Uribe has done the last two seasons strengthens any part of a Major League Baseball team's roster for 2013.

December 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) Bring in Uribe and trade Keppinger for a reliever and backup catcher. Stop it.

December 13, 201213 yr I'll never forget in 2006 when the Sox scored like 23 runs off of the Cardinals.... every Sox player had at least 2 hits, except Uribe - who dug in the box and waved at 3 straight fastballs over his head.
December 13, 201213 yr Ok then let's sign Contreras for the bullpen, Scotty pods as a 4th outfielder and maybe we sould look on what softball field Chris Widger is playing on so he can backup flowers...... Edited December 13, 201213 yr by JoshPR
December 13, 201213 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 02:47 PM) Bring in Uribe and trade Keppinger for a reliever and backup catcher. Just since no one said it... Keppinger literally cannot be traded. A player cannot be traded until some time during the season after he's signed as a free agent (not sure what the date was but that's been in every CBA).

December 14, 201213 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 13, 2012 -> 06:50 PM) I was at that game. It was the high point of that season. And then the Sox finished 3rd in the division and the Cardinals won the World Series.

You sound like those University of Kansas basketball fans who only remember negative things about the former players. Not trying to jump on you; it just reminded me of the Kansas fans who always remember the failures.

December 23, 201213 yr There's no way I'd give Uribe much more than the league minimum, and that would be on a non-guaranteed contract. There are worse ways to spend $2 million - finding a random fan in the stands and giving him or her a $2 mill contact is probably worse - but not many. I might even go as far as to give him a major league deal, but yeah, not for much more than league minimum and certainly not giving up anything to trade for him.
December 24, 201213 yr Please, no. The last thing I want to see is Uribe's power stroke that causes his to throw his hands in the air like he just crushed the ball 550 feet, only to fly out in short LF 300+ times this year. Maybe a minor league deal and a late inning defensive replacement if injuries plague the team by July and he's still sitting out there, but spending any significant $ on him is silly.
