GoodAsGould Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 idont know about the rest of you but it seemed like when valentin went out and uribe and willie started earlier in the year we really had lots of momentum and me personally wouldnt mind seeing those 2 start next year at 2nd and ss and we upgrade in other positions.... both are cheap as hell 2. maybe sign odalis perez or something and then get JD Drew i know he is a boras client but damnit we can sign a boras client every team thinks they cant sign boras clients(except yanks) but they obviously do or the guy wouldnt have a job so id like us to make a run at him... id much rather have him then beltran 2 and he shouldnt be as much as beltran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxman352000 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Jose is gone after next year. and thats cool with me he had a good run with us. I think Uribe and Willie need to play everday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 While I dream a sweet pipedream of Edgar Renteria, I realize that will NEVER happen, so I'm interested in seeing some of Wilson Valdez this month and in Spring Training. Hopefully, he can make the SS situation interesting and competitive. Renteria-type money would probably be better spent on pitching anyway.

Chisoxfn Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Renteria??? Personally I'd rather see Cabrera. While Renteria is better offensively, I don't think he's a major upgrade (althoguh Cabrera is having a down year). However both are good defensively, Cabrera is a bit better, but most importantly if the BoSox let him walk (dont' ask me if they will) then I think he would be a good pickup, but I'd most like to see the Sox spend money on pitching. Its also obvious they need top of the order guys and I don't think Renteria is a 2 hitter, but I guess you could do it. Its just to me, he's gonna get 8 mill and his production doesn't warrant that. He can't be as good as he was in St. Louis, when he loses all that protection. He's good, but I don't know about 8 mill good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather have renteria, to me cabrera is a more expensive version of Juan Uribe and he might not even be as good, but that's jmo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and his career obp is worse than valentin which does not help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxfan14 Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Yea i think Willie should be our starting 2nd baseman, and Juan should be our starting SS! Willie is awesome!! They turned an awesome Double PLay today!! Although i don't want JOse to leave! Jose is awesome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted September 6, 2004 Share Posted September 6, 2004 Jose is gone after next year. and thats cool with me he had a good run with us. I think Uribe and Willie need to play everday. His time here is defenitely over, especially at 5 mil a season. I think Uribe and WH can handle the chores on the infield. Now if we could get a better 3d baseman or at least someone who can teach Joe Creded how to hit we'll be all set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
