Indywallin Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'd like to see the Sox sign SS Alex Gonzalez, the former Cub. He has a good arm, some power and would allow Uribe to move to 2B. I think he would be a cheap signing as well. Also, how about Omar Daal as a fifth starter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 PASS ON BOTH OF THEM... ALEX GONZALEZ??? The only Alex Gonzalez i would looks at is the one in Florida Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 We dont need a shortstop. Uribe played well there. What we need is a second baseman. If we can trade with Florida, I want Luis Castillo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically the right handed Jose Valentin with a little less pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevHead0881 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 :puke Alex Gonzalez If it came down to him or Uribe, I'd take Uribe every day of the week. AGonz flat out sucks, to put it lightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 he'd be the same as jose valentin but with less homers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Alex Gonzalez has defensive problems at shortstop. Renteria or Cabrera would be a better option at SS if they wanted to move Uribe to a different position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 No doubt I would rather see Uribe as our everday SS over him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Uribe needs to be the SS, I am more worried about second base quite frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Yes they would, but are buddy Wallin is talking about brining in a cheap replacment to fill the role, which is what the Sox would most likely do, but AGone is the wrong choice for the job, just like all of you said, its exactly what the Sox are trying to get away from. Yeah it's a biiiig if. Uribe at short and a cheap 2b would be fine with me. They can platoon Willie at 2b while Raines helps him with his base stealing.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 You guys are forgetting, Uribe can play second base! We can sign a short stop and have Uribe play second base, he was last years Tony Graffanino. Uribe is not just a shortstop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 A guy like this won't play everyday, which would mean that the signing wouldn't bother me. I would love the extra experienced depth, and the fact that we could work the match ups a little better. Plus isn't this the AGon with the arm?

knightni Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I know Uribe can play 2b. But, he is a better SS IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I'd pass on both. I think the Sox need to make a splash and land one more very good starter. After that I think I'd rather see Barry Larkin then Alex Gonzalez. Gonzalez doesn't quite have good range and he strikes out way too much for my liking.

GoodAsGould Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Alex Gonzalez has defensive problems at shortstop. Renteria or Cabrera would be a better option at SS if they wanted to move Uribe to a different position. you must be rating his whole defensive career on 1 play in the playoffs but if you look in the same year im pretty sure he had the best fielding percentage of all SS's.... he might not have some awesome jose valentin range but he does good enuf and doesnt make errors.

Gene Honda Civic Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I know Uribe can play 2b. But, he is a better SS IMO. It's amazing how few people notice this. That cannon of an arm makes him more valuable at SS, farter away from first. His range at 2nd and short is very simillar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
