CSF Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Link 8. Magglio Ordonez - White Sox - $32 .312/.378/.565, 33 HR, 104 R, 121 RBI, 7 SB in 600 AB Having speed at the top of the lineup may be one of baseball’s most overrated concepts, but it’s safe to assume that Ordonez would have driven in more than 99 runs last season had he had just average baserunners in front of him. That’s not a major concern, though. Ordonez will hit a few more homers this year and he’ll have some better luck, allowing him to finish with at least 110 RBI and possibly quite a few more. Since he will be eligible for free agency after the season, there is a chance he could be traded in July. He’s probably a better bet to switch teams at the deadline than Beltran is.

YASNY Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 With the glut of good young outfielders in the organization, that remark about Maggs being more likely to be traded than Beltran is probably accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 With the glut of good young outfielders in the organization, that remark about Maggs being more likely to be traded than Beltran is probably accurate. Anderson and Sweeney could both move very quickly through the minor league ranks this season like Jeremy Reed if they hit well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastime Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 After this season, we will see Maggs AND C-Lee on that Top 10 outfielder list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 After this season, we will see Maggs AND C-Lee on that Top 10 outfielder list. And playing for different teams if we have a s***ty first half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZZ-fest 2004 Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 And playing for different teams if we have a s***ty first half I really don't think C-Lee is going anywhere this year. I believe that was the point of signing him long-term. I'm sure we'll try to move Mags if we are not in the race though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will start trading for "can't miss" prospects. In that scenario, Frank, Maggs, Jose, E-Lo, Sandy, and others are looking good to some other teams and probably not in our 2006/2007 plans.

Pastime Posted March 5, 2004 Share Posted March 5, 2004 If I had my way, JosE6 and his .221 BA wouldn't be in our 2004 plans. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted March 6, 2004 Share Posted March 6, 2004 As much as I want to disagree with this article and say that Mags is going to be our cornerstone for years to come, I know he's right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
