santo=dorf Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 "Nomar Changes Sox" That headline will in the lower left hand corner. This will be the main sports story in the Tribune tomorrow, "CUBS GET GLOVER!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Bartman's my idol Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 No it won't, it will read, "Cubs thinking about getting Glover". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Do you know Huff's numbers off hand, if thats the case can he play centerfield, if so, I would still sign Juan Gonzalez for right. No...he's mediocre in right, although Juan Gone in right would be a butcher. The big thing is Huff is a left handed hitter. Huff is also due to make about a mill next year...so it will cost a ton to get him via trade. This past season .311 AVG, .367 OBP, 34 HR, 107 RBI, .922 OPS and he is 26, although he'll be 27 on opening day. Maggs ops was .926...so very similar.

mac9001 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Remember, Aubrey Huff put up in my opinion, better numbers then Maggs last year. Not that I think the Sox are gonna get huff, although it would be nice. Rumors have Huff wanting out of Tampa. Rauch, Borchard, Pacheco, and maybe one low-level prospect. I can't see tampa getting a better deal than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see tampa getting a better deal than that. I wouldn't give Jo Bo and Rauch for him. One of those and Pachecho, yes, both of them and Pachecho, no.

Rauch and Borchard still have value, might as well trade them while they still have it and to get Huff the Sox's would need to make a really good deal, Tampa has no intention of trading no matter how much he wants out.

Loaiza21 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I wouldn't give Jo Bo and Rauch for him. One of those and Pachecho, yes, both of them and Pachecho, no. Pacheco was amazing, why not deal Rauch? I mean he's older, and he is coming off a major injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Pacheco was amazing, why not deal Rauch? I mean he's older, and he is coming off a major injury. Once again, Huff is cheap, young, and has Maggs type numbers. To get him we'd have to offer A LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 if I were KW, I would talk to Nomar to see if he would be willing to play here and potentially sign here. If not, we should make a deal with LA. If so, I'd keep him, he's a great player and could fill our shortstop needs. forcing the Dodgers to take Konerko for Perez could be another good way to do this since they are desperate for offense. and then, if you can dumb Valentin, you can then save enough money to keep Nomar and sign Ponson or some relief help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Ponson is not coming here. If the Dodgers don't end up with Nomar, then they'll go towards Vlad. If that happens the O's will step up their offer even more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 JOHN Valentin has been out of baseball for a long while... Actually he was on the Mets last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 I am not sure I like that lineup; I don't like the fact you got Uribe, Guillen, Olivo, Konerko, Huff, Rowand, all in one time. I dont see too much run production out of that bunch, if you sign Juan Gonzalez, that would look better. Also, dump Billy Crotch, to the Mets and get Royce Ring back. I agree that is not the best looking top of the order, Uribe would be a HORRIBLE choice for leading off. The guy had a .290 OBP, that is horrible. As for trading Koch to the mets for Ring, don't put your marbles on it. New York fans are high on this guy, and the Mets are taking pride in developing a young bullpen. Some are predicting Ring to be closing or setting up for Grant Roberts as soon as next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Best case for Sox is the scenario with keeping Nomar and forcing Dodgers to take Konerko for Mota or Perez, then you have Nomar, Williamson for Mags money, whatever we get for Jose (probably somebody who can play 2nd), then the money we saved on Konerko.... That should work money wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1549 Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 One more thing on Royce, I heard he was throwing 90's when we drafted him, last I heard he was throwing mid to high 80's. If he has arm problems, then it looks like that was a good trade we made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Actually he was on the Mets last year Being on the Mutts is very close to being out of baseball! And NEVER trust ANYTHING you hear on the Snore - they are "tabloid radio" - they'll say anything they feel like to get you to stay tuned. They suck.
