Gene Honda Civic

The point is, he's not messing up his words... He's letting you know he IS out there trying to get something done, and he's probably very close to having it done without having to say *anything*

He's giving himself away, but he's not saying *anything* -- A deal appears imminent.

Brandon, Dave, Adam; What's the difference

That's the truth -- a deal of Uribe/Bmac would beat LA's Hudson offer.

Jim there is a logical reason to believe qwerty too. Yesterday the sox 40-man stood at 40 players -- Then Wright was gone, to make room for a 2-for-one trade. There's no room on the 40-man to add another ML player. Though I would expect a signing at the very least with the money saved. Reynoso looks like he'd be the odd-man out.

their CF (finley not Btran) has more than lost a few steps.

I vote ban.

Josh stewart has negative trade value.

If the case is that we miss out on a starter, we better significantly upgrade one of 2B/SS

I'm used to stuff like that --- fark et al.

Oh yeah -- to quote myself from BTF.

DBacks don't have much need for Konerko -- Why would the Marlins trade Burnett($4M) for Vazquez and Karsay (plus cash I'm assuming) That would add at least $4M to their payroll while getting worse.

That was the first post I read in the thread-- I almost had an aneurism.

Yeah but I would not have given up lee to get him, this is another KW f***-up..Lets see what scrub we can get for a pitcher as well.. The only way this makes sense They Sign Orlando Caberea and move Uribe to 2b, Then Sign a SP... You're a lying assmunch.... Evidence --- http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...ndpost&p=523864 You were willing to give up Diaz too. :fyou

712 Plate appearences. -- That's a SB about every 10 PA's. (which is roughly what Willie Harris' rate was in the minors)

but you'd still need to make a case for him being better than Everett.

At this point, I'd take a bowl of soggy Rice Krispies™ over Borchard.

I hate Jones -- He's Jose valentin for the outfield, with less power... He's got big platoon splits, doesn't take a walk, and strikes out a ton.

He was playing RF in Minny, but if you remember that throw from the playoffs, he has the arm for second base. The Cubs would put him in left to hide his arm the best they could.

didn't he also say that he didn't expect to any time soon?

OMG -- I agree with antrhax

If he goes to the Cubs, look for the Twins to get a pretty sweet deal out of it -- Back in July, the Twins were supposed to get 2 prospects in the Nomar deal, they could have held the deal up, and forced to not to be completed in time. They didn't, and the Cubs owe them one.

Just to remind everybody, at these same winter meetings last year, Paul Konerko was "obviously traded" -- He hit 41HR and drove in 117RBI for the Chicago White Sox

3-1 3.46ERA 26IP 23H 29K 6BBball>

KW was hilarious -- He answered nothing -- Dodged everything, and talked about the weather.
