Goodoleboy58 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I say sign him up and get rid of Norton... Bobby wants a veteran lets get a decent one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I think hes a perfect fit to replace Norton he can still play in the OF and can play 1B and he gives us a true CF to backup McLouth hes still only 33 and he loved playing in Atlanta so im sure if we wanted him we could get something done especially if he ends up being released Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.C. Collins Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I wish we would, I really liked Kotsay especially when he hit for the cycle last season.Good guy but, I would be a little surprised to see the Braves do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

House Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 x2I don't dislike Norton, but he is just not having success with us this season.I don't hate Norton, but when you have 5 hits all season my patience with the player is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I just think he gives us better depth than Norton because Kotsay can still hit he can still play in the field and hes a veteran bat coming off the bench late in the game with some pop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kotsay was a very good player for us last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 3:55pm: Mike Petraglia of WEEI.com says Kotsay was designated for assignment, not waived. This gives the Red Sox ten days to make their next move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 dam, be nice to have mclouth have a true CF backupWe can still get him that just means the Sox have 10 days to trade or release him or if hes not claimed they can send him to Triple-A but I would say the odds Kotsay isnt claimed are slim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If anyones wondering Luis Sumoza is the player we got in the Kotsay trade and so far this year he started in Rome hit .266 with 2 HR and 25 RBI with a .645 OPS in 305 ABs then was promoted to Myrtle Beach so far there hes at .189 with 0 HR and 2 RBI in 37 ABsCareer stats in the minors are .257 21 HR 131 RBI .718 OPS 1,026 ABsHe is still only 20 though he started his career at 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Waiver means we can get him for nothing and trade Greg to another team. Lets get him!We actually dont get him for nothing he wasnt waived it was actually DFA like the Red Sox did with Lugo we'd have to trade them cash or a minor leaguer because I doubt they would want Norton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodoleboy58 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 well they got 10 days to do something with him... the original report was waived not DFA... if he is indeed free id take him... not sure how much id trade for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
