daa84 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 QUOTE (Saufley @ Nov 3, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) Anyone hear Rolen for Javy rumor? thoughts? haven't heard it...im not opposed to rolen...hes on the wrong side of 30 but i think hes only got a year or so left on his deal....hes always a stud in the field (if healthy) and has decent on base and slugging abilities (esp. in our park)...certainly fits KWs grinder mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I don't like Javy, never did, but I wouldn't trade him for Rolen. While at one time he was quite a player, he makes too much cash, plays too infrequently and doesn't play anywhere near the level he once played. It would be like signing Joe Crede but doubling his salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 i rather have fields play than rolen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G&T Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Where did the rumor come from? Rolen hasn't played a full season since 2006 and would be a down grade, looking forward, from Fields. I'd rather have Javy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Rolen is on his last legs. His shoulder is extremely weak now. That would be a terrible trade. A deal of Javy for Glaus would make a lot more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we can't go after Brian Roberts then...Glaus' extra base numbers were fantastic last season considering his slow start and suckiness vs the Cubs.

Frankly, no I don't really want Roberts, and that's a big part of my reasoning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Glaus had good yr. Now will see if he can match that. Rolen is hurt and thats not getting younger. I rather have a vasquez as our 4th starter than bring in all or nothing hitter who keeps getting hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sircaffey Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2008 -> 05:02 PM) No juicers please. Oh please. I would love Glaus on this team. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Rolen has 2 years and $26M remaining on his deal ('09:$11M, '10:$11M + $4M bonus, the Cards agreed to pay the bonus but there's no guarantee that money would be included in any deal with the Sox) and has missed, on average, 2 months per season due to injury over the past 4 years. That's really all you need to know about Scott Rolen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Glaus does what hitters in this lineup do Hit for home runs, strikes out, and of course cant score on single from second. No thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantl916 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Anyone given any thought to the Sox trading Javy to the Rockies for Atkins? I think Atkins would be a good fit for this team. Haven't really looked at his numbers or salary, but just a quick thought that came into my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Atkins should not be considered. He's mediocre defensively and his OPS on the road in his career is .752, and he was not really that good last year anyways (to go along with a road OPS of something along the lines of .660 or something).

He's not a scumbag or anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetman Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm sure JR would give LaRussa a call before they got Rolen. Ergo, not gonna happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 QUOTE (Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 3, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) Javy has a NTC to West Coast clubs I wonder just how many times this will have to be said before Javy is traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
