winninguglyin83 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Been out of the loop for a bit. Just wondering if either of these guys has signed with another team -- or if the Sox are chatting with either one of them? would think somebody would take a look at willie because of his age, speed and versatility.

I don't follow Timo, and the Rockies were interested in Harris, but he wanted too much money: The Rockies had been talking with free-agent Willie Harris about the utility job, but he was seeking more than double the $450,000 the Rockies offered and is not as capable at shortstop as Wilson.

winninguglyin83 Posted January 16, 2006 Author Share Posted January 16, 2006 so they are both unsigned? I assume Mackowiak is our primary utility outfielder. Who is going to be the fifth outfielder? Borchard? Owens? Any other nominees out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is going to be the fifth outfielder? Borchard? Owens? Any other nominees out there? I actually thought Mackowiak would be a primary utility infielder along with Pablo, and Borchard, gload, or another player from the minors would step in for the extra utility OF role. Who knows what happens though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I got the impression that the 4th OF'er was going to be Borchard and I support that if it does happen. I think he might get agood look at the CF job too, if Anderson isn't ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He better be hitting .350 with 15 home runs in 200 at bats off of the bench before he gets a shot @ starting in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 if Borch ain't the fourth outfielder, who is it going to be? Considering the chance for injuries, the fourth and fifth outfielders are pretty important folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the chance for injuries, the fourth and fifth outfielders are pretty important folks. IMO it will be Borchard. Who are the other options at this point? Jerry Owens most likely lost his chance due to leaving the winter league early. I'd rather see him get consistent playing time at AAA anyhow. Perez and Harris are both goners. There could be a couple of non-roster ST invitees who have a shot, but with a solid spring I think Borchard will take the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
