Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Let me just state on the record that I feel this deal only makes sense for the Giants if they don't get Konerko. They seem to be dumping salary so getting PK, who has just signed a long term deal, would be funny. Lee would make some sense if they want him to move to 1st, but I Think strictly prospects makes the most sense from the Giants point of view.

aboz56 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I will just say that if the deal has Konerko that I will no longer support the White Sox because there is no reason to make this trade whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Well, Kent was looking to sign cheaply. Its too bad the Sox wouldn't pull this deal, then go out and sign Jeff Kent to play first to a 3 yr 15 mill contract. He seems to be willing to take a lot less now, and he'd be a steal at that rate.

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 well as we sit here and type the scrubs are foaming at the mouth to get kent.... and it looks like he may go there.........:mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Ya, but wouldn't it be great for the Sox to steal their thunder and pull both? I know this, Kent is a better player then Konerko. Attitude wise, Konerko wins, but just production, you got to go with Kent, and if moving Konerko gets you a pitcher of Ortiz's caliber and then Ainsworth, then I'd pull that deal in a heart-beat. Of course we won't get Kent, but just saying if the Sox really wanted to do something, they'd do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jjav829 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 The Giants want to move Ortiz to clear some salary and they feel that Ainsworth can fill in for Ortiz nicely. They won't give up Ainsworth and Ortiz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 They were going to for JD Drew but the Cards decided not to give up on J.D. Konerko isn't quite Drew, but he's more proven and still fills a need for them at first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbaho-WG Posted December 17, 2002 Author Share Posted December 17, 2002 When you look at the trade, you really have to rethink teh whole Konerko or Lee part. Look, C Lee really improved his OBP, and K/BB ratio last year, but onerko also had a monster first half, and a s*** second half. Koenrko had 3 seasons with 97+ RBI, C Lee not even close. But, do we give up on C Lee right now? This is a lose-lose situation for KW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I'd rather give up a good prospect and Lee opposed to dealing PK. PK is our leader in the clubhouse and was an all-star last season. Trading him doesn't make sense AT ALL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 To me KW can really fill in a free agent for Konerko if needed. Their are many productive first baseman out their. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aboz56 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 If you want Frank the skank to play the field, be my guest. I won't be at commiskey to see it though. If Ichiro hits a grounder, we'll be s*** out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Frank could be their, but man he sucks defensively to be our full time first baseman. Ya, Lief could be their too, but I don't want to lose PK's production and replace it with Liefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 You never know, it could easily work out that way. I still think that KW will pull some deal by the start of the season that gets us a good starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 well i wish he would do something right now.. the suspense is killing me.......too many what if's and i heard's....im going nuts........im also trying to think just exactly whos going to play 1st with paulie gone now... not like we have anyone whos capable of it in the minors to platoon with frank.......we are so f***ed if this happens without something else happening to get us a decient 1st baseman...... man kw just put us in a f***ed position ......what ever happened to the days of us just needing a catcher and decient pitching..... now were going to have to find infielders as well.... oh s***...............:puke more zantac please........

Chisoxfn Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Well, Frank would move to first most of the time. Would the sox pick up an extra outfielder moving Lee/Thomas to first and Dh. Would they pick up someone to play first, keeping Lee in the outfield, with Thomas Dh'ing or will they just stick Liefer at 1st and then eventually go with Borchard in the outfield moving Lee to 1st/dh.
