South Side Fireworks Man Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 As long as this is a "wish" list, Hideki Matsui would be a nice upgrade over Carl. If not, Carl is a free agent now... Also, if Ozzie really wants to move Iguchi to the middle of the order, we could use a good number two hitter. Furcal would fit the bill with Iguchi moving to DH, but he may be too overpriced which might knock the whole team payroll/team chemistry out of whack.

South Side Fireworks Man Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Nov 2, 2005 -> 08:12 PM) Is Ozuna a FA? Cas if he is, I want him back. Timo too. Either Joe Borchard or Brian Anderson should take Timo's spot on the Sox roster next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. None of our starting pitchers are going anywhere I'll guarantee you that. The only regular I see as possible trade bait is Aaron but we shall see.

kapkomet Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Ya... I didn't say who, but some of our favorites may become trade bait. Personally, I like doing business with the Yankmees. Seems like when we do, we do well... (see E-Lo). How about A-Rod for A-Row? LMAO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beck72 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 QUOTE(kapkomet @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 01:09 AM) Guys and gals, we will TRADE if we do anything. In fact, I'd say we would trade for sure. The core will probably be the same, however, I'd imagine that a couple of "favorites" will most likely move to get that OBP guy we all wanted on July 31. The only guys who likely could be traded are Marte and El Duque, or some minor leaguers. No Sox regular will be traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If KW liked the team chemistry in 2005, what makes you think he'll mess with it in 2006 by trading away a Rowand, Uribe or Crede? I'll stand by my prediction that no sox regular will be traded. That's not "Xbox" thinking--it's "why mess with a good thing?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Because, frankly, they won't catch lightning in a bottle twice without a solid #3. They know this.

Agree, but the problem is one injury from being out of the "most competetive division in baseball". The team was special, but they need more horses to stay competing in the long run. Man, I'm sounding like Antonio Osuna and some others... yes, we won... but this team will NOT win again with the exact same lineup. I think they can be BETTER next year, but there's going to have to be some give and take most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this was the thinking that got the Angels into trouble in 2003. Not to say it won't work for us, but something to think about. As long as we add a #3 hitter, preferably (IMO) one wearing #35, we'll have upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be the popular opinion but we're not the Angels, that team didnt have near the starting pitching this team does. If you guys want some changes that's absolutely fine but don't have the 03 Angels be the reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
