Chisoxfn Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(JimH @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) By the way .... Levine was right that the Sox were sniffing around Thome and so were the two guys on the Score, Boers and Bernstein. Just an aside. I'm giving myself a pat on the back too. I said the deal would be done by the winter meetings a week or two ago Makes up for promising Randy Johnson last year, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) Does anyone think Thome was on the juice and maybe that has something to do with his injury and horrible '05 stats? This is not the type of injury you get from steroid abuse. Those usually involve tendon or muscle problems (contractile tissue). Thome's injury was a ligament. (non-contractile). You can't definitely say it's not but it's very unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) Not really, spring training doesn't mean all that much and Owens is still way to raw to be in the major leagues. Give him a year in Charlotte then we'll see what happens in 07. Probably. But Owens was insane in his AA season, he's hitting .400+ in a winter league, and Guillen specifically mentioned him in an interview earlier this month when discussing people he'd love to see on the team soon. Interesting that he did that, given his request for a #2 hitter, and the now-open OF spot. I'd be willing to wager he gets an invite to ST, to compete for a slot.

maggsmaggs Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Steroids, no way for Thome, but at least we will get to hear Hawk say "he is country strong" many times now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) Its got to be a speed guy. Hell, I know a lot of people hate this name and I highly doubt the Sox want to spend the money. However, Johnny Damon is now a candidate and would have a place to play. I can't possibly see the Sox doing this, but you never know. Johnny Damon is totally out of the realm of possibilites and his name should never be mentionned here again. Here are a variety of reasons why 1. Scott Boras. 2. That contract Boras wants. 3. His age 4. Paul Konerko 5. He's not a speed guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made up for that, by telling everyone that was bashing Konerko were a bunch of idiots and that he'd be one of the key reasons this team would win the series. I also pretty much dead on called how he would finish the season (statistically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Jason ... put your thinking cap on .... Who else fits besides Pierre? Somebody with speed, can handle the bat, and can function in the #2 hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody with speed, can handle the bat, and can function in the #2 hole. Rafael Furcal moving to CF Darin Erstad (can't play CF really) Figgins (Angels won't deal him) Milton Bradley (Sox won't go for him...plus injury problems..plus not as fast as he used to be) Johnny Damon (probably too much money...hell of a hitter though) Vernon Wells (not a typical 2 hole hitter) Carl Crawford (I think he's over-rated) Ichiro??? Soriano (move him to CF) I still think Pierre makes the absolute most amount of sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jphat007 Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Might as well trade for Manny in our continued quest for the acquisition of the late 90s Cleveland Indians. Lofton.....Check Vizquel.....Almost Alomar......Check Thome.......Check Manny.......MIght as well... Fryman......eh, not so much Baines (in the 99 playoffs).......Check Sandy.......Check Colon........Check Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
