nitetrain8601 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Hola from California! I had to come here and let everyone know of some juicy gossip I got from a friend. Take this for what it is worth, here is my source: My brother and I's best buddy used to date JR's daughter awhile back and they are still friends. I called my buddy for the whole happy holidays thing today and caught up with him. Here is what he told me: That Kenny wants Tejada and is willing to give up Fields and a young pitching stud combined with whatever else to make it work out. He also said they prefer Crede to Fields and are really just trying to up Fields value in a trade right now. All of the recent young arms are being acquired for a possible run at Miggy. My take: this would make a lot of sense for them as a new leadoff man / SS / veteran. I think Miggy could replace Uribe and Pods in one move. Again, just take that for what it is worth. I just thought I'd share. Miggy Iguchi Paulie Thome Dye That is sick. http://realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=606422 Now take it with a grain of salt, but Graden actually has been a reliable poster in the past. I know it probably won't happen, but there's nothing else to discuss today so meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I cannot see trading Fields unless Crede is extended. I also don't know about Tejada leading off. And somebody will tell you real soon that Tejada will NEVER play for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tejada more likely would bat #3 or 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tejada almost DID play for the Sox before going to Baltimore. Never say never. With that, I'm on the record saying this dude is bored.

It's the one thing I've heard consistently from people around the Sox organization, that KW and Ozzie aren't exactly big fans of Miguel these days. They were enamored with him following his Oakland days but have soured on him to the point where KW doesn't want Tejada in his clubhouse and Ozzie doesn't want to coach him.

I'll give you the opposite of a well thought out post: He's been connected to steroids on several occasions. I wouldn't be shocked if his name is included within the 100 collected by the government.

sircaffey Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 (edited) Where would you bat Tejada? 2nd? Pods, Tejada, Dye, Thome, Pauly, AJ, Crede, Iguchi, Anderson? That's one way to make up for some pitching loss...Pods needs to get off the team. He's out of place in a lineup like that.

Pods, Tejada, Dye, Thome, Pauly, AJ, Crede, Iguchi, Anderson? That's one way to make up for some pitching loss...Pods needs to get off the team. He's out of place in a lineup like that. Where would you play him??????????? Jokes aside, I would love it if we got Tejada. What that would do is allow us to keep Crede at 3B for next 2 years, move Uribe to the bench and be the infield utility guy to play 70 games at 2B, SS and 3B (relieving Crede if he has back issues we need to worry about). Tejada would help us solve the hitting the lefty problem. I could live with a line up of: Pods Iguchi Tejada Thome Paulie Dye AJP Crede Anderson Uribe + Cintron - Super infield subs Sweeney + "I forget his name...geez"- OF subs If Anderson can play the way he played 2nd half of last year and continue his stellar D, and if Pods can simply return to what he did 2 years back, we are set to take this division with that lineup, even if we have to rotate the 5th starter between Floyd, Danks, Gio etc (hoping we do not trade one of them in the deal) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesox61382 Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Is it just me or does everyone have a friend who has dated JR's daughter? She must really get around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
