knightni Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The one positive thing in all this, Rowand is going to the NL and not to the Yankees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) Just because I'm curious, is your primary reason for hating it the presence A-Row had on the team? Or his stats? Or one particular aspect of his game? Just curious what people would most miss. For me, the biggest loss would be his overall presence on the team - he represents hustle, and he was a big part of the heart and soul of this club, it seemed. Very tough to replace that. Bittersweet for me. I like Aaron Rowand the person and the player. I am not sold on BA like the rest of you. But mainly I'm just gonna miss Rowand the person, the Bears fan, the stooge.

Bittersweet for me. 1) His presence 2) His defense How will this effect a guy like Joe Crede to lose his best friend?

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Wow, I never thought I would be so bummed about adding a guy like Jim Thome. I'm gonna miss Arow so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 According to the recent ESPN sports update: The deal would be Rowand, Cash, and a young player (NOT BMac) and we would get THome and Philly would pay part of his contract. Pretty sweet deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Report: White Sox Trading For Thome Jim Thome Sources have told ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney that the Phillies are on the verge of trading first baseman Jim Thome to the White Sox for center fielder Aaron Rowand. The deal is expected to include major cash considerations due to the size of Thome's contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox1422 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I don't mind this. Rowand is a bit overrated. Trade him while his value is high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJP has seen this before when he was in a Twins uniform. Also, the guys in the clubhouse know that Jim Thome is a wrecking ball in the batters box, they know what this means to this offense. The offseason has just begun, my interest is now piqued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
