November 23, 200520 yr Who was all included in this deal?? Man it sucks to lose Rowand...but Thome will crush at the Cell...
November 23, 200520 yr Author no word yet on money or prospects but htey only mentioned thome and rowand as it came across the wires according to Olney. If we only gave up Rowand, we got a steal
November 23, 200520 yr Author Welcome Brian Anderson to CF, Thome to first/Dh depending on Konerko/Thomas. I LOVE this deal provided Mac isn't in it and I think they would have mentioned him
November 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) I haven't been this pumped since we got Freddy Garcia even when they won the world series?
November 23, 200520 yr As long as we didn't give up any of the 6 SP's, and we don't take all of Thome's salary, I am PUMPED!! This is good stuff. That said, I will miss A-Row big time. Great kid, tons of hustle, and a bright future. All the best.
November 23, 200520 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Even though I am happy about getting Thome. Losing Rowand hurts very bad That's pretty much what I think of it. I hate losing Aaron. I love the way he plays the game, but when it comes to organizational depth and talent, this looks to be a good deal for the Sox. Of course the devil is in the details, for money and other players in this case, but we will see about that stuff.

It's just so hard for a guy that came up through the system, busts his ass day in and day out, even says that he wants to spend the rest of his career here. It hurts emotionally to lose a guy like that.

Just because I'm curious, is your primary reason for hating it the presence A-Row had on the team? Or his stats? Or one particular aspect of his game? Just curious what people would most miss. For me, the biggest loss would be his overall presence on the team - he represents hustle, and he was a big part of the heart and soul of this club, it seemed. Very tough to replace that. Bittersweet for me.
November 23, 200520 yr Resign Konerko and let Thomas walk... 1) iPods 2) Iguchi 3) Dye 4) Konerko 5) Thome 6) AJ 7) Uribe 8) Crede 8) whoever plays center DAMN! killer line-up ans basically the same as last year with more power!
