Balta1701 Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I Love how ARow was sprinting over there thinking the left fielder wasn't going to get to the ball, then he had to duck behind the guy in better throwing position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 1st basemen. Nevin: are you joking?

Bgwell: not moving Erstad: Maybe... if we werent replacing a 40 HR a year player Ortiz: DH, but isnt going anywhere Wilson: Not good enough to replace 40 HR a year..

He's proven over the last few years he can only make a certain amount of starts before breaking down. It's not like he's on the last year of a one million dollar deal. He's scheduled to make like 5 mil next year, I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see in another thread that you mention Rowand will be back to form next year? Blalock is a much more dangerous hitter than Rowand at a position that we're definitely lacking a big time hitter. I'd rather have Dunn though. Blalocks away numbers in the last 3 years: .242/.306/.426/.732 with 28 HR and 91 RBI in 669 AB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you get this stuff? There are 6 guys in all of baseball who make $18 million or more. Manny Ramirez, Derek Jeter (so overpaid its not even funny), A-Rod, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, and Roger Clemens. I fail to see how teams are going to pay guys like Derrek Lee who has had one great year and Paul Konerko who is a very good hitter but hardly a great hitter $18 million a year.

Not saying it's valid, but Lee almost won the triple crown this year. And he's young. I'm sure there are some teams willing to overpay for him.

Mr. Showtime Posted September 25, 2005 Share Posted September 25, 2005 I have no idea what his health situation is right now, I know he has a big contract, but I wonder since Kenny likes to make a splash if he'd try to get Thome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the Sox play in a pitcher's park. And as for Thome, I've heard the Phillies will pick up between 33 and 50 pct of his deal. You'd have to make sure he's healthy though.
