Chisoxfn Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 But what if the Sox could acquire Giles. How sweet would that be. I'm thinking Rauch, Lee, and a prospect for Giles. I'd do it, Pittsburgh probably wouldn't, but I'm just dreaming. Just throwing it out there for those that think we are weak in center.

Bighurt52235 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 That would be wonderful. If only we'd gotten him when he was nobody on the Indians. Who'd they get him for, by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 I'm pretty sure Giles has that trade clause that allows the Pirates to only trade him to like 6 teams without his consent....and we aren't one of those 6 teams. However.....I'd like Giles...but we'd need to give them more than just Rauch, Lee and a prospect......probably need to give them Malone and a prospect or two....because Giles is their only real offensive threat...without Giles, the Buccos are a horrendous team....probably the worst in the league. Giles is probably untouchable....but imagining having him is nice. Regardless...we won't get him.... Maybe Rauch, Lee, Malone, and Holt/Valenzuela, along with cash.....I'm not sure I want to give up that for Giles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Giles said he wouldn't accept a trade to the Sox's (that was last year), maybe he would change his mind this year. I think Rauch, Carlos, Rowand and Diaz would get the job done (maybe not, probably not), but that's giving up a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 That would be wonderful. If only we'd gotten him when he was nobody on the Indians. Who'd they get him for, by the way? I assume it involved Ricardo Rincon going from Pittsburgh to Cleveland...but that's a guess Regardless....the Indians wouldn't have traded within the division. They also traded away Jeromy Burnitz in their little run....if it matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also traded away Jeromy Burnitz in their little run....if it matters. As well as Ritchie Sexson. Oh ya, I know I'm dreaming. Also, the Sox couldn't get the deal done before because of Giles no trade clause, or at least thats how I always understood it. Either way, I don't think there is anyone out there that would be a better fit for center. Well, I ain't going to complain about JR not being able to make this one happen. I'm so happy as it is.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 exactly.. i say give rowand a chance first.. he may surprise ya...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted February 12, 2003 Author Share Posted February 12, 2003 exactly.. i say give rowand a chance first.. he may surprise ya...... I think Rowand could turn into a big time surprise player, mainly because everyone is counting him out and I do think he has some talent.

CubKilla Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Not even Giles will make me want to part with Rauch. He's gonna be a stud. Ditto. There aren't many trades out there right now where I'd be willing to part with Rauch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
