Chone Figgins

[AramisRamirez]

the angles have no reason to trade him but i would die to get him. he can play so many different positions we could put him anywhere. i would give up pie for him. whats the price tag on a guy like figgins??

 

figgins did pretty good in 05:

 

.290 BA

.352 OBP

64 SB

 

tell me you wouldnt like a pierre-figgins combo at the top of the order with lee and aramis following.

I don't think I'd give up Pie for him unless someone like Vlad was coming too. What, anything's possible, isn't it? Anywho, I've liked Chone since I first saw him.

[ZMovieman]

I'd give up a good amount for him, but not Pie. A bit too steep if you ask me. Figgins is a heck of a player still, and I'd love to see him in Cubbie Blue.

This will probably pain Roast, but it's true: Figgins = Pierre

 

We don't need two of those in our lineup.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Figgins = Pierre

 

Figgins is a switch hitter that can play 17 different positions, runs the 40 in 2.7, will be 23 for the rest of his life, and has a lifetime OBP of 950.

 

Seriously though, he plays many different positions, puts up better than average OBP numbers from the left and right side of the plate, and is DIRT CHEAP. Figgins >> Pierre

Alright, Figgins and Pierre are nearly identical offensive players.

I would have liked him INSTEAD of Pierre. Hes a better fielder, a better base stealer, sees more pitches, would be under our control for 3 more years, is much much cheaper and, is more versatile so can be moved when pie is ready. Not to mention he wouldn't have cost us anything more interms of prospects than pierre. Plus, the angels are a much much better team with Erstad in CF, Kotchman at 1b and McPherson/Quinlan platoon at 3rd.

Don't say that loud enough for CPatterson20 to hear ya'. He just started up the Missourah chapter of the Juan P fan club I think... :lol:

nice touch on admitting the angels have no reason/desire to trade him, yet putting it in transactions anyways

[Brian]

Chone has always reminded me of Macias, except Chone is actually good at baseball. :)

How has Roast not posted in this thread yet?

:cry:

[RynoHawk]

I agree figgins would look nice in blue.I would give up pie and walker and stick him at second base.

[Warpticon]

Figgins - pigment = Freel

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Figgins - pigment = Freel

 

We have a winner!

A forum for discussing trades, free agent signings, etc. - either real or imagined

[AramisRamirez]

if he can think of a way to attain chone figgins without it being a transaction, more power to him.
