greasywheels121 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I actually like it a little bit, but that's Xbox like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackSox8 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 if you follow the trade i think it can happen. in real life maybe but odds are really against anything comparable to this kind of trade happening. won't be on KW's or anyone else's mind cuz it's just to much to do. but it is perfect trading for x-box.

DBAHO Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Uribe, B-Mac and 1 of Anderson or Sweeney is majorly overpaying for 1 year of Tim Hudson possibly. Willie Harris and B-Mac should beat LA's offer of Antonio Perez and Edwin Jackson straight up in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why we with the extra money and sign him from thoams, Lee, Pauly, everett and Garland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Realistically if the Sox want Hudson, the money is there for him to sign a long term extension. With the contracts of Thomas and Konerko alone off the books at the end of next season, that's about a $13 million saving, which should be easily be enough to resign Huddy to a 4 year deal. But no way do we trade Uribe, he could be Miggy Tejada like in a couple of years. Willie Harris, now he's expendable with the addition of Podsednik.

Heads22 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 You know as much as I like Hudson there's no way I deal our shortstop and two of our top 3 prospects for one pitcher, even if it is Huddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE can't invest the much money in him right now, unless he has a HUGE 2nd half. I say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSteve Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 If he is willing to take a pay cut in 2006 sure. I do agree. I love the guy, but money is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 I take it you don't think they will pick up franks option at the end of the year? No I don't, although I do believe one of Konerko or Thomas will be back in 2006, it just depends on which one comes at the right price. We all know Frank thinks he's undervalued, although he may not think that after he probably has a sub par 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Doesn't Frank still have a player option? Would he not exercise that? I'm not familiar with his contract, famous as it is.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he had a player option for $8 mill for this season which he picked up. I then think the team has a $9 mill option on him for 2006, or they can buy him out for $3 mill.

Heads22 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 That's what I thought. I want to see Frank retire in a Sox #35 jersey at US Cellular after a Sox WS win. Or maybe that's being a bit greedy...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 So Frank can pick up his $10 mill option at the end of 2005? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 So Frank can pick up his $10 mill option at the end of 2005? Yes And he will too. For him to be worth $10 mill, we'd have to hope he can put up .280 40 110 .950 type numbers in 06. His contract could become a large burden.
