Rey Ordonez - End Of The Line?

Wolf Hopper · 12-09-2003, 11:21 AM

Is this it for Rey-Rey, in his early 30's? Does no one want a no-hit, overrated defensively, and somewhat problem child SS?

Are you sure he's just early 30's??

All it takes for one GM in the majors to combine watching Sportscenter, believing in diving for balls = good defense and throw in the fact that, in a small sample size in 2003, he was a ".300 hitter" and Ordonez will be starting for someone in 2004.

Yes, I could see some team desperate for IF depth picking him up. Whether he would sign up for a chump change contract or not is another thing.

Lee, Ordonez did not have a Rey Sanchez like .300 average. Before he was injured, Ordonez actually appeared he could hit legitimately, much to my happiness. I have stronger opinions of your post but there are content guidelines here.

If Ordonez is able to recover from his injury, some team is definitely going to take a flyer on him. His best bet will be on an AL team though.

Maybe 2003 was a fluke, but with the fact he was capable of putting up a legitimate average and supplanted it with power (who needs walks?), will easily give some teams interest. Quite honestly, I think Seattle would be a good fit...since I've heard a lot of talk of Guillen going to the hot corner again. I mean, Ordonez could hit better than Cirillo.

I find it hard to believe this particular Rey is at the end of the line. Now, the other Rey...that's another story.

LGO, rey's season was a one-yr fluke masked by his limited AB.
