Luis Gonzalez is older than dirt and his big numbers mysteriously vanished right around the time that MLB started testing for steroids. No thanks.

Would you sacrifice playing time for a young, up-and-comming stud for an old has-been? No. I would look into signing Luis Gonzolez to a one-year deal, if it were cheap. His OBP the last two years are .366 and .359, respectively. I would bet anything Sweeney doesn't post a .360 OBP next year, at any level. I'd like to actually win in 2007, not waste at bats grooming Ryan Sweeney for 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winninguglyin83 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 let's see, we've had Sandy Alomar, Jim Thome, Robbie Alomar, Albert Belle, Kenny Lofton and others. Surely there is some really old former Indian who needs cash and would be willing to play left field for us next year. If we're going to get somebody from Arizona, how about .... CHRIS YOUNG??????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 If he was cheap and the whitesox wanted to give both Fields and Sweeney another season at AAA i wouldnt mind. We would definitely need to replace Uribe though and add a leadoff hitter from that position. If Gonzalez sucks or breaks down he can be replaced at all star break with one of our prospects or trade.

sircaffey Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 52 doubles from Luis this year. I'd look into other options first, but it wouldnt be an bad stop gap solution if it came down to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd look into other options first, but it wouldnt be an bad stop gap solution if it came down to it. This is how I feel. Luis would be better than Pods or Sweeney, but not the best we could do. He is still a pretty good ML hitter. Also, a one year contract, tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yeah, I don't see what the big deal would be with a 1 year, $3 mill deal. Don't even need to add an option on to it. He'd be great if it were a last resort type of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to make sure somebody good was left on the bench for those 2 runners in scoring postion and 2 out situations becuase you can bring it to the bank that Gonzo won't get that hit.
