I'd be open to that.
But, that still leaves you needing a left-handed bat and the outfield/DH thing gets pretty crowded.
That said, I can stand it if they can.
Never had a problem with a little depth.
Price?
What kind of trade value do you see being needed to pry him loose from the Yankee’s? If he comes anywhere close to his overall projected fan WAR value for 2010, I’m all for this move. Cheap and under control for several more years if I remember correctly.
Jeff Marquez and Jhonny Nunez.

Not sure what the Royals were offering
or if they even offered anything, but I gotta think we could top it(and the offer still being not a whole lot). Gardner would fit very nicely here.
Comeon Bacon, you're the future captain!

quit being such a baby gordo.
you’re gonna bat where ozzie tells you to bat, and you’re going to like it.
the suck is not just a river in ireland.
Especially when we need a 6/7 hitter!

you ordered a 1500 dollar bottle of liquor on your parents dime
and they were ok with this?
12/12/07- We'll miss you Andy Gonzalez
that they would not be
I ordered a single drink. I started to become nervous when the waiter started giving me printouts documenting what went into the drink.
They don’t take me out for my birthday anymore, something about, ‘we already covered this year.’
so you orderd a ~$100 drink
and they were ok with this?
12/12/07- We'll miss you Andy Gonzalez
Chump change
I’ve bet a $100 on a single down of a football game.

by onlysoxfaninboston on Dec 11, 2009 8:22 AM CST up reply actions
glove would be nice in RF
and somewhere between his 08 and 09 numbers would be acceptable as well.
12/12/07- We'll miss you Andy Gonzalez
need to bat him 2nd or 6/7, no?
what about rios in the leadoff spot? too much “pop” from his bat as well? but KW will probably pick somebody up, hopefully not Pods!
so you would rather have Beckham lead off instead of Pods?
This doesn’t make any sense. I will take Pods back even with his terrible defense. Putting Beckham in the leadoff spot is a giant waste of his RBI potential. Beckham needs to be in the 3rd spot in the order IMHO. He’ll be our best hitter in 2010.
why?
His offensive numbers were not awful. If I remember correctly, he batted at or near .300. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not clamoring for them to re-sign him, but I disagree with you on Beckham leading off.
Not likely
but he does have a new workout regime which kept him healthy for once. Good point though, another year older and slower = more pickoffs and worse defense. My main issue with all this is to not have Beckham lead off, I don’t really care if they don’t re-sign Pods.
so pods has become the fine tuned porsche he never was

and i agree w/ beckham not leading off due to wasting his rbi potential
That was the point i was making. I don’t know if you can put him in the 3 spot yet, I’d rather see him 2/6/7 personally. What about Rios leading off? Has that been discussed by anyone or is there just zero chance of that happening? Has he ever done it in his career?
:/
Why would we want one of our worst bats at the front of the lineup getting tons of PAs rather than one of our best?
not saying i'm for it entirely or advocating it
just curious if it was an option at all, probably isn’t
its not a terrible idea
if he can get his obp up around 350 again, which he did in 06/07 and was 337 in 08. he runs the bases well.
I’d be in favor of it if he can stop making so many outs.
2, yes.
6-7, not so much.

I've got a question
is there an inverse relationship between the amount of time that people talk about lineup construction (specifically regarding leadoff men) and the difference that such tinkering makes to a teams record at the and of the season?
yes, similar to this

It's much more important to talk about than to actually fill out the lineup card.
This is why god created cold weather and hot stoves. And White Sox Interactive.
Though seriously, I think I’ve read that your “optimized” lineup (high OBP/speed leading off) means about 10 runs or 1 win per season versus the ones you’ll see Ozzie and others use.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
this is essentially correct.
which is why it’s more important to simply not have a shitty offensive player like pods in the lineup instead of worrying too much about where players bat. the most important thing is to get the best 9 players together in the lineup as much as possible.

Unless Beckham starts putting up 40/40 years with 400 OBPs I refuse to believe he's the savior at leadoff
And it “feels like 2” outside, awesome. Can’t wait to walk to the bus!
The world needs the Jedi now more than ever
Theres some 2009 highlights show on MLB Network
and they just did a nice segment on the perfect game.
Please find Jay Cutler some help...
Becks can and will hit like he did this year, if not better
after a full offseason of training w/o having to worry about making the team, he will be amazing
as always, take my Beckham comments knowing i think he is the best thing since sliced bread
