sircaffey Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) I know some people defend Levine on this site, but he's one of the worst "inside" guys in baseball. I can't remember the last time he was on top of a trade rumor. When's Bruce gonna hang em up? Hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 14, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) Anything on Sportsnite? According to Bruce, the 'White Sox are doing everything they can to get this deal done.' He said this towards the end of his talking points.... Started off by saying that that Griffey Jr. cleared waivers, and the White Sox could make a trade with the Reds, but then said that the Reds are for sale, and may not want to trade a marketable player like Griffey Jr, but then said Griffey Jr. and Kenny Williams both would like to make a deal.... Basically, his report was nothing new - it's going to be difficult to make a trade because of the sale of the Reds, the money involved, and then agreeing on players before finally going to Griffey to get his approval. Despite not knowing if the White Sox have actually talken with the Reds about this, being unaware of the players involved in a trade, according to Bruce Levine, the 'White Sox are doing everything they can to get this deal done.'

Ozzie Montana Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Remeber though, he staked his reputation on the White Sox getting Omar Vizquel in the offseason. Whats his reputation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem...Those local reporters (Levine and Ofman) are just hilarious to me - they know the game because they watch it for a living (but probably not any better than a lot of people here), but when it comes to those trade rumors, they don't seem to be reporting any information besides already public knowledge.

White Sox Josh Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Guys almost everyone in the media reported that Vizquel was headed to the Sox this november. Bruce was not the only one. I'm not sure why everyone hates him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it's his profession, he sure doesn't have a very good grasp of the baseball industry. He should be known as Captain Obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't hate Bruce Levine - you're right about Vizquel - everyone from the SunTimes/Tribune to the Score/ESPN 1000 all had that as being a foregone conclusion. I think Bruce knows the game. I just laugh at some of his 'inside info' and his player love sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
