DBAHO Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Giambi - He's not playing everyday this season, what does that tell you. They'll buy him out, or get an upgrade e.g Paulie. Just because they're paying him heaps, they're not forced to play him everyday if he's not performing. They're the Yankees. Overbay - Milwaulkee are going to really want something big for him in a trade. Just look at his splits. And if any team is going to get him, it's the New York Mets. 1B next year - If Konerko stays, then that position is locked up, but I don't want more than $10 million per season in a contract with him. He's streaky and can't hit lefties. Now if he does leave, the options are; 1 - Move Dye to 1st base and Brian Anderson to RF. Total saving of about $8 million. 2 - Sign someone like J.T Snow or Doug Mientkiewicz. Total saving of about $5 to 6 million. 3 - Let Ross Gload play everyday or sign a platoon partner. Total saving of about $6 to $7 million. I like the 1st option the best IF Dye can handle 1st, but I wouldn't mind Snow on the southside. He's a lefty AB, a great fielder, and hits for good average with a little pop that would increase at the Cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually on Dye, he said he went to the Sox because they made him the first offer. Arizona offered him more money, but because the Sox already offered him a deal, he decided to take it, so the D-Backs had to settle for Jose Cruz Jr. who's hitting about .210.

Actually I believe it was more that he had already accepted a deal in principle from the Sox...Arizona was calling him and upping their offer while he was taking his physical, and he wasn't going to back out on our deal after he had already given a verbal agreement, even though he was technically not locked in at that point.

Paulie likes playing he's played well for the sox. If we can't come to terms I like the idea of getting a better fielding first baseman with more range. SOmeone who can run the bases and hit for average.. Who could lay down a bunt instead of hitting into a double play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be Good Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I want to have Konerko back, but if he wants too much money, we could use it else-were. And have Gload start 1B next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
