daa84 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(forrestg @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 09:39 AM) here's one the yankees want ElDuque and the yankees have 2 first basemen Martinez and Giambi both playing well. martinez = old giambi = WAYYYYYYYyy overpriced. worse than konerko with twice the contract for way longer :puke your idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I think the sox will get Burnett. Florida needs bullpen help and they need it badly. They would be stupid not to take the Sox Offer. If the Sox do get Lowell i think the Sox should spin Lowell off to another team for some prospects or bullpen help. Do you think the Sox should keep Lowell or not if they get him. He is another right handed masher and they have enough of those already. If they are going to get a power hitter i would want him to swing from the left side.

southsideirish Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:34 PM) Yeah, fathom's definitely right on this one. Robinson had that thing wrapped up about a month ago. Bochy would've even had a good shot at coming in second a while ago. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really don't believe so. The Braves were 11 games over .500 and only 2.5 games behind Washington a month ago today. The Braves were playing well with rookies at 3B, 1B, and both corner OF positions. They were playing with an injured Furcal and Chipper Jones, Hudson and Hampton were all on the DL. Their bullpen was and still is in shatters. Yet, they are 11 games over .500 and 2.5 games behind Washington. Everyone was waiting for things to catch up with Washington because they were scoring less runs than they were giving up. I don't see how you people think Robinson would have it wrapped up and would have ran away with it just because he was only 2.5 games up and was a "surprise" to everyone. Everything was lucky for them and I do believe everyone saw it that way. Maybe not you guys, but everyone else did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Honestly, I don't see anything happen between now and the deadline. I wish Oakland was out of it so we could inquire about Zito, but that ain't happening. If there is a deal made, here are my most likely to happen to lease likely: Huff & Baez Burnett & Lowell Overbay Schmidt Schmidt & Vizquel(I just don't get where people get the idea that SF is going to want to downgrade at SP and SS, especially when they have publicly said they are going to want to contend next year when Barry is back) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think they will get Aubrey Huff. Time has become a serious factor more than anything right now. With roughly 3 days left, KW really needs to focus on a select 1 or 2 players adn work extremely hard to aquire them. Splitting up his attention, IMO, would not be the right thing to do unless of course you make the select few teams more anxious/nervous to deal before time escapes them.
