Even though he'd actually be a perfect fit, I'm sure he'll get some nice money to be a possible starter for another team.

Byrnes would actually make a lot of sense for the Cubs if they platooned him with Jock Jones in right field. Byrnes rakes lefties while Jones sucks against them. Too bad the Cubs are too stupid to do something like this. Instead, they will let Jones flail away at lefties.

Byrnes defense in RF would be comical. He's the most overrated fielder in baseball. However, I had the same thought that you did, and I could see the Cubs going after him.

I agree with you on that. Byrnes makes insane diving plays only because he has to because he gets horrible jumps. Then ESPN lauds him for being such a stellar defender.

I hope Willie is back. He's a better player than a lot of you think. I would probably take Willie over Gload simply because we know Ozzie likes speed. The second the Sox got Makoviak, I think Gloads days in this org were done (imo).

 

Byrnes wouldn't be bad (I happen to like the guy). I think he's pretty solid all around, but IIRC he had a rough 05. Still I think someone will give him pretty decent money.

 

Also, when did Byrnes move to RF? I remember with the A's the guy was always in left.

I think Willie will get a decent deal with another team as a backup or possibly platoon second baseman. The Cardinals have nothing good at second base right now (Aaron Miles :P ).

 

Byrnes has played 320 games in LF, 134 games in CF, and 65 games in RF. He can play every outfield position, albeit poorly. He makes diving webgems because he usually gets horrible jumps.

GOOD

 

We need to ride your gift for killing players on teams.

 

I suggest that you change your avatar to Santana of the Twins, your name to IlovePronk, and have a sig pic of Maggs, Mauer, and Nathan.

 

Pretty much we win 120 games then and the AL central is locked up for 10 years.

Non-tendered so we can still negotiate with them.  They just wouldn't be able to take the pay cuts the Sox wanted if they were to actually go to arbitration with them (IIRC). 

 

I think there is a shot we still see one of them back.

They could only ask for a pay cut from Timo, as the other 3 are making the minimum. Please, no more.

This thread has forced me to bring back my famous chart which clearly proves Timo was merely a victim to lack of playing time.

Are these results just a coincidence? To me the answer is obvious, but I'll let you be the judge.

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...

 

Exactly. I forever thank Willie for that. And Ozzie for going with him.
