Gene Honda Civic Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 (edited) http://msn.foxsports.com/story/3257650 Just wanted to say I told you so -- I said Bos, NY, or LA -- I guess this is how they make up for the loss of Beltre.

Rowand44 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Could this mean there is more of a chance that Cora could get non-tendered?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Could this mean there is more of a chance that Cora could get non-tendered?? Doubt it, kent is supposedly gonna be playing first base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHarris1 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 They would still have Kent, Izturis, and Jose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 It says he will replace Beltre at 3B. Doesn't LA scout anybody? Jose was a fish out of water at 3B. He's got good tools for there but never caught on to what you should do on a certain ball in a certain situation. It was a great relief when Crede came up, at least he knew whether to throw home or across. I like Jose and was sorry to see him go, I rated him higher at SS than most, but I never expected somebody to stick him at 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credepopsup Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 In 125 games last year, Valentin hit .216 with 30 home runs and 70 RBIs. That's a bit of a drop-off from Beltre's numbers of .334, 48 and 121. No s***!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 With the rumors of a 4th team added to the whole RJ trade, I wouldn't be surprised if it dealt with Vazquez and Navarro going to the White Sox, and Konerko and Garland going to the Dodgers. The 4th team is a rumor, the White Sox involvement is purely my theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Good for Jose, I hope he does well there. I loved to see him go but he's a grinder so I can only hope the best for him when he's playing elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Good luck to Jose. I always liked him. He was no Royce Clayton, that is for sure. You are right IMO, third base is not a good option for him. He was horrific there. I hope we do not trade Paulie or Garland. I think that would be stupid, but that's just my opin.

That's a bit of a drop-off from Beltre's numbers of .334, 48 and 121. That is the funniest thing I have read in a long time What happened to loyalty? Valentin was a hustler, good to children, always said nice things about the organization. Damn greedy owners. I hope players don't start acting like owners and just worry about money and winning.

Gene Honda Civic Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 In terms of difficulty to play defensively C>SS>CF>2B>3B>RF>LF>1B In theory, Jose should be all right heading right on the little chart is much easier than moving left. I've seen 2B and 3B reversed in the past before, but they're essentially the same defensive difficulty, just different skill sets. Jose should be fine. The more reps he gets, the better he'll be.

I was thinking he was getting a little slow on the DP pivot so going to 3rd should be helpful. His arm strength is solid and he's resonably quick. My guess is a dozen E-5 early in the season, then he should settle down and do ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesoxfan56 Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Lay off smoking all of that crack, please. That mexican pornstar couldn't have been gone soon enough! laugh.gif Well you can have your view and i can have mine. thats fine, but there is no need to accuse me of something just because i wish we kept him You're certainly the minority on that. In fact, you are the only one who would say such a thing. yea, i am in the minority, but what are you gona do, i liked his attitude, the way he played. but it was time to move on. when we play LA and he comes to bat i will give him a standing ovation, then i will be hoping he will strike out for the benefit of the sox.

TLAK Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I'll miss Jose and appreciate what a good job he did for the team at SS. You guys want Caruso back? As for 3B Not going by stats on this, just from watching him play I knew there were at least 2 people who didn't want him to play 3B -him and me.

I respect your views on Jose. Welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
