NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I say Valentin is a lock to be gawn cause there's no way Reinsy is gonna cough up 5 mil a year again for a 30 something SS who K's too damn much. Especially with our infield as stacked with talent as it is. Valentin goes & frees up money to sign Maggs and that deal gets done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Wishful thinking has me saying Maggs won't leave. I can only hope that is true now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I voted josE6. I have had enough of the Sosa Swing at the slider in the dirt. Also don't want to worry about every grounder that goes his way - I know he's improved slightly over the years, but I still think "Where's the throw gonna go" whenever he raises up with a grounder. I want Maggs to stay, but josE6 can leave after the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelasDaddy0427 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I think we are better off with both of them gone. Maggs is solid but not worth 14 Million a year. He wants a 7 year deal and if he gets hurt long term it's like shooting ourselves in the foot in terms of any means of success. We can use that money elsewhere... BYE BYE MAGGS!

southsider2k5 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 With the way Uribe is hitting, Jose will be the quickest gone. I'll bet we don't offer him arbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I think we are better off with both of them gone. --No offense but that is about the most insane thing I've ever read anywhere. A perfect example of not appreciating what you have til it's gone. Maggs is a freaking star and Jose V. is an underappreciated (by some) stud. Check our past history for some horsebleep shortstops outside of Ozz and Aparicio. Jose V. has been a stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 What bout Billy Botch. If Botch can hold it together the rest of the season I wouldn't mind seeing him stay around. He still has a long way to go in my eye though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Right now its not something I want to think about. I'm going to enjoy the Sox season and you never know what can happen. The Sox are playing good baseball, have some talented players, and Kenny seems to of been given the ok to add a front line starter, maybe even more (who knows). If the Sox do good and attendance continues to creep and they end up in the playoffs and make a push....we could be having a completely different mindset this offseason. Instead of thinking who they will lose, we could be thinking who they will add. I know its farfetched, but right now, I'm just going to enjoy the way the Sox have been playing. The defense could be better, but I've seen great pitching (minus the 5th) and some timely hitting and the Sox offense really doing a good job battling pitchers and going with the pitch (they had a slump where they struggled with this, but it appears that it really could of been all the rain delays that affected the club).

Yoda Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I just can’t believe how many haters we have here. I see someone post this: :fyou at Jose Valentin as if he were a Cubs fan. If you really call yourself a White Sox fan (though I haven’t seen you say that) you’d be supporting your team members and not talking s*** about them. They are the White Sox and they are the ones who are winning games... not us. So please, show a little support for your team members while they are still around.

This post wasn't meant to bash either player, jackass. Oh, by the way who are you to question what kind of sox fan I am? Maybe the poor fans are the ones like you who feel that up and down the lineup and throughout the pitching staff that all the players are above criticism. They're not & when they deserve it then they should be criticized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both you and me are Sox fans and we are attacking each other. Actually, I never meant to attack your or Jeckle, but to have a good Sox fan conversation, but I see it's pretty much impossible if you're going to be calling someone a jackass.

That’s pretty much the problem with us. “ We're poor Sox fans” but instead of trying to be the opposite of that, we go around attacking each other. I want you to realize that I wasn’t attacking your or the other guy. I know we all have negative feelings on some players, but I just can’t believe we have fans that say “f*** Valentin.” Once again, I never saw you post such comment.

No sense in arguing, so I was just saying that you should think about who you were talking to. I know u have no problem with this at all, forgive me.
