If the Sox sign Bonds I may take a pass on them until he retires. Bonds is everything wrong with sports ... everything! How can anybody deny that? The guy is a complete and utter ass and Mr. Steroids.

Yeah and that's why we're pissed, especially after reading KW's stance in the Trib. The panties in a bunch is offensive crap. We have a right to be moderately concerned at what has happened today. We basically released Freddie cause we got 2 guys that we have no use for right now.

Maybe this guy from the Phillies we got will be put in the pen. That might be a blessing in disguise.

I agree this is terrible press. It makes no sense. We had the city like you said and now we're going to get rid of all our starters in the next couple seasons? Sounds like Reinsdorf has turned into cheapo Reinsdork again. One title must be enough for him. How else can this be explained? We aint going to win World Series with the philosophy the Trib suggested. Hopefully the writer somehow messed up. He did probably have to write it quickly after the deal was announced. We just saved a lot of money on the Freddie deal so maybe before hte meetings end we'll have acquired some real players.

Why is the Trib propaganda? That writer is very fair, he's nothing like Moronotti. He said he asked KW flat out if all those starters would be out and he said yes. I wouldn't shoot the trib messenger.

I'm talking about that Trib article saying we're going to let all our starters go in the next 2 years. That ain't being the Marlins?

And fathom said it all. That article on our future is scary. Suddenly we've become the Marlins again. All about saving money. My god. After drawing all those millions of fans this year. What has happened in the last 24 hours? We've become a small market team again??? Sad, very sad. Oops this got added to my last post; wanted to make sure it was seen.

Man this sounds like one of those deals ALL about saving money. Horrible trade. Hopefully Gio Prism can be the new Marte, only better of course. This starter we got sounds really bad. We don't need the guy, that's what's baffling. We shoulda traded for proven relief or an outfielder. Stupid deal. It reeks of just saving money. Oh well, we basically traded Brandon for Freddie. Brandon gets to start now cause this guy isn't gonna beat out Brandon. And fathom said it all. That article on our future is scary. Suddenly we've become the Marlins again. All about saving money.

Yeah, that Aaron Rowand really sucks. He only was starting cf and team leader on a world championship team in a city that hadn't won one since the days of radio instead of TV. Bring back Aaron!

Too bad we had to give up Aaron in the first place. Anderson wasn't ready and it cost us dearly. I don't know why we had to trade him instead of "prospects" like the Yankees always used to do in deals. Lesson learned: Don't trade a guy unless you can replace him. You may hate Rowand, but his absence left a huge hole to fill.

Good thread. Why can't we sign him? We got it done with Paulie.

like you said, no bullpen for Brandon. Starter or minors. Or trade. He sucked in the pen.

sure he stunk, but maybe he'll be motivated. And now it'll be easier to insert one of our prospects if Scott is failing to get on base and steal in April and May. I'd rather have him and insert a young replacement from our farm system than bring in some average player and feel obligated to let that player rot all year.

I'd overpay for Ichiro. He and Iguchi. Priceless. Ichiro belongs in chicago.

When we trade Joe we need more than a Figgins. We need to steal some great players. Crede and Freddie need to bring a lot. It must be nice when we can bag on a guy who had the record of Freddie this past year.

It will be a sad day when we trade Joe. We're going to miss his picks at third base. Hope KW isn't this dumb.

Just wanted to say hi; I haven't posted in a bit. During the season it's such a passionate time I post all the time. Let's hope for quick winter. GO SOX. Make some deals KW.

Say bye to Javy; keep Freddy

I cant believe so many want to deal Freddie. Vas is the guy who sucked. It's easy to think Santana and Brandon are the answer. The unknown is also prettier than the known.

It's amazing how quickly Anderson's stock has fallen. Oz must have convinced Kenny the kid is simply no good. If he has any work ethic I'd give BA one more year. It took Joe a while to learn how to hit his weight, also. And Joe now is one of the best.

Pods isn't very good. Time to part ways with him while thanking him for the nice year we won it all. Wouldn't have won it w/out Pods.

I wouldn't trade Mark B. Keep him. If he wants to ultimately leave as a free agent, fine. It will be a sad day if the Sox trade Mark B.

If the Sox need to save money, I'd dump both Vazzy and Freddy in deals to the Yanks and let Brandon start and somebody else in our organization. If money is no option, just dump Vazzy and keep Fred.

I just can't see the Phillies dealing Rowand back to us unless they rob us. What about Rowand for Brian Anderson head up? Would the Phils do that? That would be a ballsy trade by Kenny. Anderson could be a Crede type player and maybe just needs time.
