BDavisFutureHOF Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 And am starting to like the idea of the Sox getting Austin Kearns. I have no idea what his contract situation is like but he is proving to be a Cub killer and had decent #'s across the board a few years back when he got consistent AB's :fthecubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 that would be good, but I think the Reds LOVE Kearns because they were even talking about moving him to 3b since they have a backlog in the OF... plus he is cheap and will be cheap for a few more years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDavisFutureHOF Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 Liking the idea even more when I notice that his salary this year is a paltry 400K and he is in no position to ask for more after this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 He's also 24 and was one of Cincinatti's shining stars coming through the minor leagues. He's not going anywhere, unless the Reds are either overwhelmed in a deal, or someone agrees to take on Griffey's contract in full(and while that hasn't been stated anywhere, it is just a hunch that I have).

BDavisFutureHOF Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I knew that they were high on him but for some reason I thought he fell out of favor (hence the declining number of AB's over the past 3 years). Eitherway -- I'm lovin the fact that he lit up Prior on a day where Jesus of the north side is virtually untouchable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BDavisFutureHOF Posted September 30, 2004 Author Share Posted September 30, 2004 I know that was the case last year but was unaware that he hurt himself this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
