Sox general manager Ken Williams said last week the thought of trading Ordonez at some point this season hasn't crossed his mind. http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...home-headlines1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 If we can get Scott Kazmir, David Wright, Peterson and Mike Cameron for Aaron Rowand and Maggilo Ordonez, I'd do that deal straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Mike Cameron is only good when he plays against us.....so no thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 Mike Cameron is only good when he plays against us.....so no thanks Cameron would giv us some more speed and pop in the outfield, although his average worries me, he'd hav to hit around .260 to be a success, he'd hav that chance at the Cell. Still I'd think, he'd veto any trade to the White Sox if he could. Kazmir and Wright are the two we'd definitely be tragetting in a trade, especially in light of Joe Crede's recent struggles at the plate.

YASNY Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'd love to have Cameron. But we really need a left handed hitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 Correct...if we get someone other than a pitcher it better be a LH bat or a switch hitter whose better side is the LH side (like Everett) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I'd love to have Cameron. But we really need a left handed hitter. J.D Drew was one lefty hitter we'd both like to see acquired to the southside. Still I think a more likely option now is Steve Finley, he slugged 2 more homers today, leads the league with Pujols now I think. With Arizona already 11 or 12 games behind LA, and Sexson on the shelf for the year, we should go afta Finley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sox-r-us Posted June 2, 2004 Author Share Posted June 2, 2004 I would love Finley....but that means Crede will have to sit come playoff time....which is fine with me Uribe will play 3rd B in the playoffs, Willie at 2b This lineup would be awesome come playoffs Willie H Uribe Frank T Maggs Finley (to break up all of our RH bats, this would be a good spot for him) C Lee Valentin (break up the righties again) Paulie K Olivo If a LH pitcher is starting the game (eg Mulder), then we sit Valentin and let Crede play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our minor league depth, he may be the best bet value wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I would cream in my pants if we got, Finley. He's having a monster year and would be the left handed power bat we've lacked for 4 years. Add to that he's got post-season experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 I want Maggs in a White Sox uniform for his entire career. Like Frank has been through the 1990s, Maggs will be for the next 10 years. He is very marketable in Chicago, and will be an All-Star for many years to come. Build the team around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted June 2, 2004 Share Posted June 2, 2004 This all was a fabrication so that there would be contraversy between the two sides and thus Maggs would be angry at the Sox and the Sox would be angry at Magglio. This is just some Mets people who want to start a ruckus so that they can get Maggs in a trade or via free agency. No one turns down $14 million a season, when the best player at the position, who is also a 5-tool player doesn't make that much. If Vlad makes $14 million than Maggs is right at $12-13 million. Although, we will overpay if we re-sign maggs, but to keep him year is huge boost to the White Sox and other free agents and our in-house players.
