ZionrulZ Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 I defer to one who knows all. I have changed my mind, we now need A Rod You're an idiot. I NEVER said I'd do it; I just asked if you thought the Sox should consider it. Â Here's the point (once again)...IF he becomes available and IF at that time he's the best option for the Sox (ALL things considered), I think the Sox might (should) consider signing him. Â Reading is a skill, people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 QUOTE (Lamar Johnson 23 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 12:40 PM) IF the Yankees are successful at voiding the remainder of A-Rod's contract, and IF his surgery is successful (and he passes a drug test(s)), would you take a flyer on him if you were the White Sox? Absolutely. For the right price, I wouldn't be opposed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Latest report says it is very unlikely ARod ever plays for the Yankees again. His hip will either be declared a career ending injury or they will work out some sort of settlement. If the Yankees won't have him, I believe we have seen the last of ARod on a MLB diamond.

witesoxfan Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Remember when Barry Bonds said he'd play for pretty much anything and the White Sox decided that "hey, now is better than never to finally get Barry Bonds?"

Wrong!  My concerns are that Keppinger might not be a 160 game 3B and/or that Beckham (still) sucks. If one or both of these proves to be true, the Sox will have 1 (or 2) huge holes to fill in the IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Keppinger sucks, Sanchez will get a shot. If they both suck, Sanchez will get a shot and the White Sox will no longer be competing for a division anyways so why would they want ARod?  Use rational logic.

Agreed...although KW always seems to like to get "his guys", no matter how washed up they may be at the time. (See Griffey Jr, Manny, either Alomar, Fukudome, etc.). Hopefully, he won't (can't) influence Rick Hahn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just never going to make sense. Â I also don't think KW has any real effect on roster decisions, though I'm sure he has a voice if asked. Personally, I don't believe he has had this for about 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that number was much lower, the Yankees wouldn't be as concerned about voiding it. No, the reason he's saying a voided A-Rod contract would mean he's untouchable is because he must have done something really, really bad to void the contract. MLB contracts are pretty iron-clad for the players, so there aren't many outs. The only eventuality that could lead to a voided contract is if something truly significant comes to light.

Â I agree with Littlehurt, if the Yankees owed him $10M there'd be no talk of voiding his contract. I would not be at all surprised if the Yankees hired their own investigators to see if ARod was involved in anything that could get his contract voided.
