SoxFanForever Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Did anyone hear Jeff Brantley's comments on ESPN earlier today after they were going over the Cub Collapse? They were discussing Nomar and what they think will happen with him next season. Brantley said he doesn't believe he will be on the Cubs next season and they were talking about West Coast and Yankee possibilities. Then near the end Brantley said that he may be playing in Chicago next year but it won't be for the Cubs. He said that he thinks that he has a chance to go to the Sox. Anyone see this and/or have any opinions on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I thought Uribe was already named 2005 starting SS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Uribe has basically been named starter for 2B or SS...but not SS. KW will go after the best available 2B or SS for the Sox, and then Uribe will play the other, simple as that. Let me just say that I would like to get Garciaparra, so long as it didn't cost us $15 mill a year...hell, $12 mill is probably too much. Get a starter, get some bullpen help, move some money around, get some other key guys to fill other holes, and then worry about getting Nomar.

winninguglyin83 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 I thought all the reports last winter were that Nomar did not want to play for the White Sox when there were discussions about the Ordonez trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Hmmm I honestly would rather use the money on pitching like previously said before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Jeff Brantley is less accurate than Peter Gammons. He is a fool who should not be on television, let alone passed off as an "expert". Disregard anything he says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoomSlowik Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 That better not happen. He is way overrated and is not worth the $12 mil plus. He never plays a full season, he is bad defensively, his most productive years are well in his past, and does not have the speed or on base percentage we need. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does outside of Fenway without Manny Ramirez batting behind him long term. My theory is he will be mediocre. If we were going to get a SS, I'd much rather get Renteria. The OBP still isn't there, but the average in comparable, he has more speed, and is a better fielder, plus he'd probably be moderately cheaper.

CWSGuy406 Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Jeff Brantley is less accurate than Peter Gammons. He is a fool who should not be on television, let alone passed off as an "expert". Disregard anything he says. Ditto - he was the same guy licking Esteban Loaiza and Brian Cashman's collective knob's on the day of Loaiza's first start. He kept saying how had Loaiza not given up two homers, he would have had a great start. Worst analysis ever, like R44 said... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted October 2, 2004 Share Posted October 2, 2004 Just what we need; an over rated over-the-hill clubhouse cancer for 12 million. Well, the good news is that he's injured so much that he may not have much time to whine and complain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But true Brantley is Moron. If Nomah is going to the yanks then he has to play second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
