Balta1701 Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ May 7, 2010 -> 09:25 PM) Instead of one bat, I'd rather spend money on 3-4 additions in the next few offseasons. Well, considering we seem to need a new RF, 2b, and SS, because ours have forgotten what a "bat" is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 7, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) You really think, right now, if we added Gonzalez tomorrow to this lineup and only had to give up minor leaguers, that we'd be in position to compete for the division? Yes, because i think if we brought him in, it would be under the pretense that we could secure him for a few years. IF that's the case, we'll be competing for the divison for years to come.

If this team traded the farm for Gonzalez and signed him...They'd be throwing in the white flag financially for the next 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think that just getting him would have any impact on the amount of people coming to Sox games? We're a large mark team with an owner with deep pockets. You give Jerry a reason to believe that the team will improve, he'll spend the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, unless we start winning, people won't start going to the games. Gonzalez is a great player, but he's not someone who will just make people go to the park to see him play. That's very rare in baseball...it's not the NBA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even if that does happen...unless everyone else starts hitting, it's not going to be enough to offset the additional $25 mil a season it will take to sign him. You need to increase revenues by $25 million beyond where we've been the last 3-4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
