SSH2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 No big surprise here, although I did think Willie could net us a mediocre prospect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JimH Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Perez has almost no value on the market but it's a bit frustrating they couldn't land something in return for Harris ... a low level prospect even. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go. My sentiments exactly. However, as many of you know, I'm thrilled to see Willie gone. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out, Cooperstown! He gone.

NorthSideSox72 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 No surprise on Timo. Harris I wasn't sure about. Good luck to them both. Willie did some good stuff for us over the years, and I think he'll get picked up as a utility up-the-middle guy somewhere. Not sure about Perez - maybe a minor league contract.

SSH2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 If Blum cost a prospect, Willie could bring one. Willie's better than Osuna. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ozuna's versatility makes him more valuable than Willie. Willie plays second base, that is all. He wasn't good in center field and he didn't want to learn how to play shortstop in the winter league. That's why he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Before everyone gives Willie the boot outta town, just remember he started the White Sox 9th with a hit in game 4 of the WS and scored the winning run. Love him or hate him, he will ALWAYS be remembered for that... Right on par with Julio Cruz crossing the plate in '83 in the AL West clincher if you ask me. And Timo will always be remembered for some clutch hitting and Hawk freakin' out as Timo ran the bases. You weren't the best players, but you will be remembered (at least by this group). Thanks and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Osuna was a pretty solid bullpen arm in his time here. Now Ozuna, I think he's a better overall player then Willie, better hitter imo even though Willie is more patient. The thing is Pablo can play almost anywhere and Willie refused to play ss in winterball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Lets all have a moment of silence for Timo Perez, the shortest first baseman last year. I wonder if Ozzie will return to the team after his MVP was non-tendered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
