KevHead0881 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The Score just reported that sources from San Diego are saying that Blum will be returning to the Padres next season. If true, while his stay here was short and mostly uneventful, he'll forever have a place in Sox lore with that Game 3 homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevHead0881 Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 Nothing is really said, but here's an article for confirmation: http://www.signonsandiego.com/sports/padre...-padstrade.html The Padres also are expected to re-sign utility man Geoff Blum, who played most of the 2005 season for them before going on to help the White Sox win the World Series.

TLAK Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 So it came down to Ryan Meaux for 3 mos of Blum. 7/31/05 Acquired INF Geoff Blum from the San Diego Padres in exchange for LHP Ryan Meaux; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm assuming Sean Burroughs can be had for a steal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Even though Blum only spend a few months here, he can go into the HOF with a Sox jersey on Seriously, put this guy's face on the OF wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Burroughs wouldn't be a bad Blum replacement. He also has some upside (still) and would be a good backup plan to Crede (in case his back does flare up and really bother him). I just don't know if burroughs would accept that role. He's supposed to be a quality individual though (although the fans don't like him much since he's a bust). Of course Mueller would be beter, I just don't know how the Sox can afford that.

SSH2005 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Did his bat go to Cooperstown as part of the 'Southside sweep" exhibit? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know Podsednik's bat from his walk-off homer went to the Hall of Fame. Blum's bat probably did as well considering his homer led to the end of the longest World Series game in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I guess you could say we only rented him out. But what an investment it was. Ryan Meaux for Geoff Blum, ehh I wasn't too high on that trade. But if it wins a World Series, which it helped big time, it was worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 All thanks to Kenny Lofton and the San Francisco Giants. July 28, 2002: Traded by the Chicago White Sox to the San Francisco Giants for Felix Diaz and Ryan Meaux (minors). Sox still have Diaz...who are they going to trade him for to win the World Series this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
