redandwhite Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Considering the money being tossed around this offseason, I don't think it's bad deal at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably right. I would rather have Nomar for that cost than the contract Pierre received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The Thomas signing was also awful. Nomar at 3rd base is gonna be a joke and he'll be hurt in no time. I don't give that much money to guys that have proven over a relatively long period that they can't stay healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What exactly is it that suggests Nomah will be playing 3rd? Did somethign happen to Betemit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did somethign happen to Betemit? I don't know if you caught the Times/Register after Pierre signed, but Nomar said he was very open to playing 3rd base and Coletti mentioned that as well. Specifically they were talking about how Loney would play first with Nomar at 3rd. Personally speaking I think it would be idiotic because I think Betemeit is pretty damn solid. And by no means was it 100% set in stone that Nomar would play 3rd, rather it was just said as a possibility because they want Loney at first or in the field (and obviously he could also play RF, but from the sounds of it they are trying to find a Rfer).
