Balta1701 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Do you guys have any other source on the PTBNL being Gio other than Bruce Levine? I don't want a name or anything...just a yes or no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 ESPN.com is saying that ESPN 1000 is reporting it's only Haigwood for now. Good news. Let's keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felix Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm probably behind, but the White Sox offical site has nothing on Haigwood or Gio. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'll take that to mean "No we have no other source." Did anyone actually hear what Levine sounded like when he said that? Was he just tossing out something off the cuff, like "And a player to be named later, someone like maybe Gio Gonzalez" or something like that where he wasn't really saying it with confidence?

NorthSideSox72 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 FYI, if you look at the article on whitesox.com, it talks about sending Haigwood and Gio in no uncertain terms. Just states it as fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHawkaroo Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:47 PM) I am not in favor of this trade. Too much talent, if in fact it is true, going away for an oft injured IBman when we have other options Oft injured?? where do you get this idea? He was hurt last year, but the past ten years before he averaged about 40 HR a year. Pretty damn good for an oft injured 1B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much talent, if in fact it is true, going away for an oft injured IBman when we have other options I am going to be peeveish, but why do people refer to Thome as "injury prone" or anything of that ilk? In the last 11 years he has played less than 120 game ONCE (last year) and less than 140 games twice. Don't you have to be injured more than once in 10 years or so to be considered injury prone? I know his back gave him problems last year, but the guy basically never missed anytime in his career because of injury until 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his back gave him problems last year, but the guy basically never missed anytime in his career because of injury until 2005. I'm just guessing here...but I'm somewhat wondering if there weren't a few people calling Thome risky, injury prone, etc., just because they wanted to either drive his price down once it became obvious that the Phillies had to deal someone or because they wanted to drive other teams out of the market. You have to admit he's not a bad candidate to be called "Injury prone"...he's 35 and he just sat out a season with 2 injuries. But then again, that's why we have the DH slot.

Gene Honda Civic Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 It's Haigwood and Gio, with Haigwood being the PTBNL. Haigwood is on the 40 man roster. Tossing him into the trade right away means that Philly would have less flexibility with the upcoming Rule 5 draft. Once that mess is all straigtened out, Haigwood/Gio will be made official.
