southsider2k5 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 The free agent shortstop pool includes Edgar Renteria, Nomar, Orlando Cabrera, Jose Valentin, Omar Vizquel, Pokey Reese and likely Julio Lugo and Cristian Guzman. Those potentially in the market include the Cardinals (if they don't sign Renteria), White Sox, Cubs (depending on Garciaparra), Giants, Diamondbacks, Red Sox (depending on Cabrera and/or Reese), Rangers and the Washington Lobbyists. "It's an interesting market," one GM said. "But where last year you had Miguel Tejada being bid on by the Orioles, Tigers and Mariners, there are enough market options that it's unlikely any of those shortstops will get Tejada money."

greg775 Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 How bout Nomar? Is he any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 How bout Nomar? Is he any good? Good when healthy, not very healthy the past couple of years. Heard today that his minor-league teammates nicknamed him "Glass" because "he was always broken" ( hurt ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Visquel or Guzman for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't get that much b/c none of them is as good as Tejada. Renteria is the closest, but I wouldn't think too long about that choice.

CanOfCorn Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I would take Cabrera or Pokey Reese. Reese can bunt, he can run, he can even play 2B. Sounds like an upgrade from Willie AND Uribe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 No to Pokey, He's been in decline. I would take Cabrera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I would guess, barring a trade, that it would be Cabrera. He is the best of the 2nd tier FA. Maybe this Jose Valentin guy...he hits 25 hr's a year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Cabrera or Vizquel would be fine by me, if we could get Cabrera for $5 million though, I'd say that's a pretty good deal, especially if he gets back to his 2002 - 2003 Expos form.
