rowand's rowdies Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I have found a possible fit for the CF job. Kenny Lofton. One year deal likely between 2-3 mil. He would take less playing time, worked out well with us before, and would allow anderson or owens to get some time. then get rid of timo so we can have 2 of the owens,anderson,sweeney, young group up.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I would sooner bring David Wells back to the South Side than watch Cancer Lofton half-ass his way around CF again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 I would like to see it happen. Problem is it has already happened once and it didn't go over too well the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnhillegas Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 you guys have got it all wrong. lets sign.....rickey henderson. did you know that once in the mid-1980's he stole more than 100 bases!!!! im sure with a 4 year deal we can lure both him and lofton, and maybe sign chris singleton and mckay christenson while we're at it.

SoxFan1 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 He played well for like the first 2 months when we signed him in 2002...then he just got hurt and sucked ass.j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Will someone please remind people that we already have our starting CF in house next year? One of the rookies is going to get a shot, I just can't see KW giving up any value for anyone when cheap and decent options already exist in house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox think they have an abundance of young talent for the OF. They're right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) No thanks. Brian Anderson is gonna be our cf. People need to let it go. Edited December 7, 2005 by Jordan4life_2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSFAN35 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Lofton wouldn't be signed as a starter. If anything he'd be Timo's replacement in the outfield. I personally think he's a much better option than Perez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im wondering why people are still clamoring around looking for a CF'er, now to the point of bringing up probably one of the WORST options out there for this team. We have some of the best minor league OF talent in the MLB. Anderson was KW's first round pick in 2003 and he has been crazy about him. We have been waiting to plug some of this talent in our lineup and see what happens, but year after year we have traded our top picks away. I think its time to see what our system can produce. Seattle seems to think that our system produces some pretty good players, why dont we find out for ourselves. -end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exepct that KW was also High on Bochard, and would not give him up.. ANd now we see what we got out of him.. I want to see what anderson can do, I have stated since when I started being a middle market team we need a farm system that produces home grown talent we can use. I have a feeling Anderson is going to do fairly well, not great and not "Ortonlike" The good thing is that we can see if anderson does well.. If not KW will correct that mistake by end of June.

I'm with you if we can't develop talent in our minor league system and use it we'll perish. Anderson will need some work but the other 24 can pick him up for a while as I remember the one game in Seattle where he hit the 2 home runs he picked us up.

Kenkait Sox Fan Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Let Lofton go play for Baker and his Cubs. Would rather let Anderson be our CF and find another lefthanded OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 That makes no sense at all. You are passing up Pierre because you want to give Owens or Anderson a chance .. yet now you are going to sit them down for a 40 yr old? Fughedabutit! If it's not Anderson/Owens (they will compete in ST for the job) then it will be a proven SB threat who can play in the OF. The White Sox are not against moving Pods to CF in order to add more speed to the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 There is only one fit when it comes to Kenny Lofton, and that is his own head, firmly up his own ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let it go once Pierre was traded to the Cubs. BA is our CFer. The only move KW will make is a utiluty INFer. I know its boring, but our team just won the world series after all.

GreatScott82 Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 speaking of Lofton. Is it me or does KW have an infacuation with veteran former Indians? We've had: Sandy Alomar, Roberto Alomar, Bartolo Colon, Kenny Lofton, almost had Omar Vizquel, Albert Belle (although not from KW) and now Jim Thome. Thats 2/3rds of there 1996 World Series team. Geeze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 It's to bad things wouldn't work with Lofton. I think he would be a good replacement for Timo as a fourth outfielder and insurance in case the rookies fall flat. Bernie Williams would be another option but I can't see that happening. If we are going with Anderson in CF I really beleive that we need someone to replace Timo as the back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
