Why Not?  :huh

Frank Thomas and Paul Konerko would probably kill him and after all the s*** he used to talk back in Minnesota.

:fight

I got shot down for suggesting Kenny going after him midseason.

Hmmm interesting. I think Lee and Marte is definitely too much for Williams and Pierzynski even though I would love to get Williams on the Southside. Cotts for Vizcaino, no thanks. Rincon wouldn't be the worse addition, but Dye would worry me with his injuries, even though there's a lot of potential for him to put up good numbers at the Cell. Wouldn't come cheaply either.

Who ever wrote that tho was smoking some Serious s*** :bang

 

Lee and Damaso Marte to San Francisco for Jerome Williams and A.J. Pierzynski could help both teams

 

Huh!! :unsure:

 

Omar Vizquel isn’t an upgrade over Jose Valentin, :headshake

 

What baseball has this guy been Watching?

 

LOL! He's even got Casey Blake at second for the Indians when we all know Blake plays third and Boone will play second and Brandon Phillips will probably be at short.

 

 

What a moron! :chair

Peralta will be their SS next season, not Phillips.

Huh! Peralta over Phillips?

I can see them trading phillips this off-season, they seem to no longer have faith in him.

Huh! Peralta over Phillips?

All of his numbers were better thna his this year outside of strikeouts, that may be the reasoning why.

Huh! Peralta over Phillips?

Phillips is more of a 2B now anyway. But Peralta had a far better year down at AAA. Hence why they let Vizquel go.

If that is our lineup then I think we just need to forfit the season right now.

What a f***ing moron.

Phillips had a hell of a season in AAA Too.

If that is our lineup then I think we just need to forfit the season right now.

What a f***ing moron.

Wtf, only guy i really do not like is jordan, i really think dye would do well here. There would be no easy outs until the 9th batter in the line up imo.

If that is our lineup then I think we just need to forfit the season right now.

What a f***ing moron.

Jerome Williams has ace stuff. Can you say the 2005 version of Johan Santana.

So why would the Giants trade him? :unsure:

Looked up Williams Numbers and they aren't bad and he's only 22

yeah id miss clee but that lineup isnt that bad especially if we have a rotation like that 1-5

 

i still think we add one solid RP... and we keep cotts.... felix diaz and munoz might of failed horrible at starting but both of them can be very valuable bullpen guys in my eyes.

in case anyone is 2 lazy to lookup

I don't know about you guys, but I would love that roster. It fits the Sox financially, gives them a decent lineup(considering the likelyhood that Maggs and one of Lee/Konerko with probably be gone), a very good rotation, a solid bullpen, and a good bench.

 

I love the SF trade. I wish the Sox could get their hands on Williams. This guy has great stuff, is only 22, is cheap, and has very solid career stats (17-12 3.77 ERA) with good peripherals. Pierzynski might be an asshole, but the guy can hit and is decent defensively. The question is, why would SF do this trade? Why would they give up one of the most promising young pitchers in the game and a quality starting catcher for a power hitting outfielder and lefty reliever? They could just sign someone like Alou(playing for his dad) for about the same amount that Lee makes, with similar production, and without giving up that kind of talent. They don't NEED a lefty reliever that bad either, with former Sox Scott Erye pitching well for them. I hope the Sox can pull off this trade, but it is highly unlikely.

 

Dye wouldn't be a terrible addition if his asking price isn't that bad(under 6M). Everyone here has been talking about the affect that USCF has on pitchers, but lets not forget that most offensive players will probably see an increase in production. From a production standpoint, I would rather get Alou, but most people don't like him personally.

 

That bullpen would be pretty solid. I wouldn't be against trading Cotts for Vizcaino, since he is a pretty dominating right handed reliever. Rincon would also be a nice addition, especially if Marte is moved.

 

I think that is a very good roster all things considered. However, I don't see that SF trade happening.

That Roster Blows. I've had Enough of the Chairman's cheapness

Great insight...seriously are you negative about everything...if you want to root for a 200M roster of All Stars...than root for the Yankees...otherwise open your eyes to reality and understand that it is a pretty talented roster for roughly 70M...and i would love to see you put up a better roster for 70M under...stop complaining and add some insight buddy...anyone can sit around and complain like a baby.

Just glancing through this rotoworld article, I see they have Hairston ending up in Minnesota and the Rangers getting J. D. Drew.
