Wanne Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 "The Mets also could get into the Beltran bidding or go after one more Boras client, former White Sox Magglio Ordonez, whose stock seems to be plummeting after he backed out of promises for an early December workout for interested teams." Well that's just a friggin shame! :fyou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxmatt Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I was expecting this to happen soon. I really dont care what happens to maggs. I better go sell the ball he autographed for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.J. Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 :fyou Magglio. I think he would have definately screwed us over and accepted arbitration if we offered (knowing he is hurt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 :fyou Magglio. I think he would have definately screwed us over and accepted arbitration if we offered (knowing he is hurt) Yep. And that's why he was so pissed when we didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LosMediasBlancas Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Stock plummeting?? BS. No, I don't see anyone gambling on him until his January work out.....but believe this: He'll prove to be healthy in April and will sign somewhere for one year, for cheap and put up monster numbers so that his stock goes back up for 2006. It will probably be with a contender and we'd better hope it's not a certain north side team. BOOK IT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 you guys can flip him off all you wnat, but believe this: He'll be healthy in April and will sign somewhere for one year, for cheap and put up monster numbers so that his stock goes back up for 2006. It will probably be with a contender and we'd better hope it's not a certain north side team. BOOK IT. That's VERY possible. But, with him cancelling a workout at the winter meetings and Boras not letting the Sox check him out prior to the arbitration deadline, I think Maggs and Boras were trying to force the Sox hand into offering arbitration. Which would have tied our hands over the offseason. The Sox made the right decision under the circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kogs35 Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Yep. And that's why he was so pissed when we didn't. and thats why he called moronotii and lied about everything cause he knows jay hates the sox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Eh, I have a stupid question/thought. For most of the time that Maggs refused the White Sox a workout, he was, technically, still a member of the team. An employee of the White Sox. If he is an employee, I think he should be forced to let the Sox look at him; he's their property. Just my take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would have tied our hands over the offseason. The Sox made the right decision under the circumstances. I wonder if Maggs is kicking himself for hiring Boras. Granted, he didn't know he'd be injured when he hired him, but if I were Maggs, I'd be asking my agent, Why am i not getting the offers you told me I would get? Why wasn't I offered arb?

I've written this a few times, if they can unload Sammy, they WILL land Beltran and since they are serious about making a run, could sign Maggs to play RF for cheap.

Why wasn't I offered arb? maybe he is but some owners are now starting to get smart with borass. as u can see beltran only got 1 offer nad it wasnt even close to the 200 mill that his crack lover agent wants. why hasnt jason varateck signed? cause borasss is asking way too much for any team even the redsox to bid on a 32 year old catcher. the only way beltran goes back to houston is if his wife wants to stay there. i dont think he will handel the ny media well (see chad pennington). giambi told his former oakland teamates with thought he made a mistake. the ny media can have a big affect on you weather u play well or not.

Cut the losses and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's suppose the Sox had really wanted Maggs back for 2005 and that the surgery in Vienna had been botched, then what?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I'm not happy about any of the Magglio situation, but I am sort of relieved that the Sox didn't take an expensive gamble on him, given the injury situation. It still sucks that it had to end like that - I liked him very much as a White Sox player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
