DBAHO Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 I know we also hav to giv Shoe $2 mill thru Arbitration, but out of that list I'd take a look at Pitchers - Alvarez, Anderson, Batista, Ponson, Lidle, Lima, Timlin C - Alomar Jr., Ausmus, Santiago 1B - Scott Spiezio 2B - Alomar, Castillo, Vina, Young 3B - Ventura SS - Aurilla Outifielders - Guillen, Tucker Any ideas why Orlando Cabrera or David Eckstein ain't on that list for SS's? I thought they were free agents in the off-season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted November 2, 2003 Share Posted November 2, 2003 DBAHO, I agree with you on Brian Anderson. Sure, he's not a flamethrower, and he won't ever be confused with Barry Zito, but he's a "crafty veteran" who gets people out, and is a smart pitcher who changes speeds and keeps hitters off balance. He made the Sox look stupid last year, but that's no great feat. Plus, he would be relatively cheap, which fits right into the thinking of Williams/Reinsdorf. However, if he was a possibility, he would have to be in the middle of the rotation, since Buehrle has a similar style of pitching. You don't want to give any opponent the same "look" two days in a row. I really like that thought of yours. Good job. Let's hope Kenny is listening.
