harfman77 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Maybe the trade is to bring in an SP and a Griffey salary dump is part of the deal. Maybe Fields and Anderson for Harang or Arroyo and Griffey. If not JD is gone to another team for an SP, Red Sox? if they really do trade Manny. Teams that would be in the market for an OF would be the Diamondbacks, Mets, Yankees, Marlins, Cardinals, and Rays. Tampa and Arizona would be the two that would have the pitching to get a deal done and still be able to contend. And we know that KW likes to make deals with the D-backs. Marlins may have the pitching depending on how Sanchez comes back this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joejoesox Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 The difference between .230 and .245 is a few singles. Hardly noticeable over the course of 4 months. i don't like looking at a players stats on the whole, until the season is over. griffey has something like a 13 or 14 game hitting streak and his July numbers are really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Tizzle Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 08:34 AM) If it's for two insignificant minor leaguers, I like the deal. Griffey Jr. is on a 14 game hitting streak. And when you're insignificant in our system, you're REALLY insignificant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The Sox are not trading Dye or Quentin, so no reason to even speculate about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:34 AM) I'd still rather have a few more singles from that slot since the odds of people on base are probably higher with CQ, Dye and Thome hitting in front. If that slot draws a walk who's going to knock him in? Toby Hall? The .314 hitting Cuban in the 7th/8th slot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 09:36 AM) SCORE with a nice thought, Griffey had to move to RF because Dunn is so bad in left they needed a better CF, just a thought. Makes some sense to me. I dont know, kinda sounds like they are just trying to put any positive spin on it they can, no matter how out there it may be...

WilliamTell Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'd rather see Griffey to go right, Swisher stay in center, and Dye play first. I've heard many posters talk about Dye playing first in the future, maybe this is the time now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 Do you really want to dick around with Dye defensively while he's kicking ass at the plate? Also, he's been outstanding in RF this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 The huge problem with trading Cabrera today is the White Sox would be short on a day they play Minnesota. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. It still makes no sense. I don't understand why the White Sox would assume Griffey's contract even if it meant getting a mediocre reliever for next to nothing. Weathers or Affeld aren't worth taking on Griffey's money if that is what is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it sounds strange but KW probably just thinks Griffey will play well for a contender over the final 2 months of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 31, 2008 Share Posted July 31, 2008 I'll give KW the benefit of the doubt. We've all doubted him more than agreed with him and he's given us a championship and 2 great teams in the past 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
