AnthraxFan93 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 As much as I love Juan, Tejada is a huge upgrade and would be a welcomed addition. That being said I would not trade Garland, period. I wouldn't trade Jon straight up for Miggy, our pitching staff is to damn good and when you have the 5 guys we have, that alone can lead you to a championship. I don't want to go through a whole season with the Duke as the 5th starter again even with an improved offense, it would make this team worse. Pitching>Hitting. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You are correct pitching is greater than hitting, with that said.. I would trade Garland for Tejada, for the reason of we know where Tejada is going to be for the next 4 years..Garland is up in the air I would rather know that we have our 3 (Marky,Freddy,B-mac) after the 06 season..Then all we have to worry about in te 06 offseason resigning Jose..and bullpen help. The deal will never happen.. I can see the northside making a run at him, they have the pitching in the minors to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) If you had the choice between either Tejada or Uribe, I'd gladly say adios to Uribe. Tejada's one of the best players in baseball. I dont know. Alot of people are pretty convinced that Miggy mailed it in the second half of the year in 05. I dont think I would want a quitter on my team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) The key difference to me is that Tejada is signed for 4 more years, Garland has 1 year left. Garland for Tejada straight up is a no-brainer. Garland and Uribe (who the Sox wouldn't have a space for after Tejada comes aboad) for Tejada is a no-brainer, too. If that happened, you would use El Duque as a stopgap 5th starter next year. Since Gio and Haigwood are gone, you either pray that Broadway can be ready by 2007 (not likely) or look to the free agent market after the 2006 season. Stop gap? Stop gap? Keep saying that in your head, and then picture Arnie Munoz, Felix Diaz and Danny Wright in your head. Calulate how many wins that loses us and come back to me. Our team is stronger and better with our pitching intact, than it would be if we traded one of them for a little more offense. Apparently nobody watched us win the WS last year? Now everyone wants some boppers and we can "fill in" some SP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 QUOTE(redandwhite @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) this is a guy playing a game for a living. sure its a lot of bulls***, but a person charactarized as a leader should be able to deal with it, especially one who made a six year committment to an organization. if winning was so important to him, he would have taken a pay cut to stay with a perennial playoff team in oakland. like i said, i love the guy as a player, but and he seems like a quality guy, but he is far from a leader. Notice that I used past tense. He was a leader on the O's. There were several comments made about his leadership last year ('04). He's got it in him under the right circumstances. He may not be a "gets going when the going gets tough" kind of guy, but he does have some leadership qualities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palehose23 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) i dont see tejada diving to stands catching a ball in the world series. Ill stick with juan Urbie Is you crazy? That has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard since Hawk said "where'd you play him?" about Ken Griffey JR.

Rowand44 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Whether Miggy is locked up longer then Jon is really irrelevant in my mind. I want to win the damn thing again this year and imo Jon gives us a better chance to do that then Tejada does. Worry about the Garland situation next year, I'm just not a fan of making a void in the pitching staff to upgrade at short where Juan is still a solid option.

whitesoxfan101 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Uribe plays his ass off and comes up big in the clutch for a pretty good value. Tejada makes 4/48, and tanks it the 2nd half of the year, then asks to be traded if he isn't happy with the team. Quite a leader..... I'll take Uribe, even if Tejada is a better player.

Still confident? i wasnt confident with him before last season either. but he held it together well enough. ALSO remember that if the Count is as good this year as he was the end of last, he should make up for the slip in Duque. beginning of last year Duque was unhittable and the Count was the Count. Now reverse it and you end up with the same net wins/losses theoretically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
