CWSGuy406 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I'd like to see the Sox pick him up. He's had a poor year this season, but he's a career .755 OPS, and is currently playing well below that. Plus, he's no stranger to a walk -- despite a .216 BA, he's got a .328 OBP. At the very least, he's a "proven winner" and gotsss the ringzz (or ring) to prove it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Where would he play? Seriously, he has no spot to play. Also, I think he might be a product of the product, if you know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 This team needs a hitter, not a walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 20, 2005 -> 03:29 AM) Where would he play? Seriously, he has no spot to play. Also, I think he might be a product of the product, if you know what I mean? Meh -- we wouldn't get him because of his power. He's hitting .216 yet has an OBP of .328. I'd take that over anything Ozuna or Timo brings to the table... He's basically a better version of Geoff Blum. Worse defensively, better offensively.

redandwhite Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 One of my all time favorites. Overlooked on every team he plays on. More than likely he'll go through waivers, report to Pawtucket, and be back in September, but he'd be an excellent pick-up for the White Sox. Much more so than Blum..

beck72 Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Bellhorn could definitely help the sox with his OBP, and ability to take a lot of pitches. His #P/PA of 4.23 would be best on the team. PK's 4.17 is 3rd in the AL. the sox have had the most trouble just getting quality AB's, making pitchers work. If he hits .250, he should have an OBP of .360 The worst guys on the Sox for #P/ PA---Rowand, 3.52; Uribe, 3.56; Crede, 3.64 the best: PK, 4.17; Pods, 3.94; Dye, 3.94 and Iguchi, 3.82 Frank's #P/PA? 4.21 With Timo getting most of the AB's for Pods in LF [Anderson isn't a LFer] Anderson could go back to AAA and Bellhorn take his spot. Seeing how playing rosters are set by Sept. 1st with guys on the 25 man and DL eligible [Pods stays there, Bellhorn could get all of Sept. for a trial run] it gives the sox some options.

Guest JimH Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Does anyone seriously think the Red Sox would trade him to the White Sox? Seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, if he clairs waivers after 10 days [which he should], he can become a FA free to negotiate a deal w/ any team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
