WhiteSox311 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yep, and that's pretty old for a baseball player. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 I like a few of the ideas here. A-Rod makes a lot of sense, Santana would make for a devastating staff for years to come (but so would Felix Hernandez IMO), Cabrera is just a sick hitter at the 3B position, and for those saying Pujols, would you plan to move him back to 3B or LF (where he played early in his career for the Cardinals), or just use him as a DH?

G&T Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Mar 3, 2006 -> 05:49 PM) There are vastly younger, healthier bats to take your chances with, IMO. He's 30, that's not that old. When he's healthy he's as consistent a bat as any. Plus he can play defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank the Tank 35 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Since you started it out with King Felix, I'm assuming the Sox get to keep the player in question for as long as he's useful not just the upcoming season. Given those parameters, I'd go with MCab. He's proven that he's not a flop. He's still ridiculously young and will probably improve on those K numbers. Plus he could be used in a position where there would be a significant upgrade from what we have currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 (edited) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 32 years old is somewhat old for a baseball player. Did I say something that was hard to understand? If age is a factor like the thread starter indicated, I want someone younger than 32. Edited March 3, 2006 by SSH2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really old but it's definately "older." I believe 27-29 are usually a player's prime years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said to factor in age. If you could take any player from any team and put them on the White Sox, factoring in age and ignoring salary, who would it be? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guarantee you that no GM in baseball would take 32 year old Ichiro over 22 year old Miguel Cabrera.

But it is definately older. 32 is usually getting past the average player's prime. The Sox gave Konerko a 5-year contract because they had to. That was the going rate to re-sign him. I'm sure that the Sox would rather have signed Konerko to a 3-year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever heard of a player "being past his prime"? It doesn't mean that he can't be productive, it just means that he won't be as good as he was in his younger days.

GoodAsGould Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Id take Joe Mauer..... I know he has had a little injury problem but he could be our catcher for the next 10 years and I think when all is said and done he will be one of the best.

ZoomSlowik Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 In this order (I'm obviously sticking with younger guys): 1) Cabrera 2) Santana 3) David Wright 4) Felix Hernandez 5) Teixeira (nowhere to play, but I like his potential) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
