Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 so we can move this to another forum, since we are not mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Are we assuming that amassing these pitching prospects will result in KW parlaying them into a major acquisition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sox-r-us Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 We really do not have any BIG name that we can give up, so I doubt we are involved. I am assuming we are not giving up Buerhle which is how I see it now that we traded BMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsoxfan Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Hypothetically, if it were A-Rod - what would YOU be willing to give up if you were the GM? Would you give up Crede, Danks, and a mid-level prospect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

103 mph screwball Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I saw no mention of the Sox. Interesting, and I appreciate the information, but the Sox are not specifically mentioned. Three teams and BIG names is intentionally vague. No telling with KW. He has money and a revitalized farm system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 Crede is a big name....well bigger. Get something KW, we have a plethora of young talent now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW thinks big and a nice way to remind the fans that the plan still is to win the World Series in 2007 would be to add salary to bring in a star if the deal was right.

KW thinks big and a nice way to remind the fans that the plan still is to win the World Series in 2007 would be to add salary to bring in a star if the deal was right. The way I read it was that there were 3 BIG names involved and hence, I am assuming, we are not involved. I am not sure I call Crede big. Maybe it is a ARod, Manny and Tejada 3 way swap (JUST KIDDING). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan562004 Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 This could be the D-Backs getting Johnson back... there's a thread about that potential already, but ESPN.com's story hint that a 3rd team could be involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I love how Carroll just throws that out there but doesn't give any information. Maybe he's just throwing crap at a wall ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
