I am not a big Everett fan. Sorry. I don't think he's that good.

I honestly feel better about the team after reading this. Alomar and Everett weren't that good. I guess we could be decent if things fall right.

No offense, but why would anybody buy season tix at this point for our Sox? I mean I love baseball and love the Sox, but in this day and age of high ticket prices and no player loyalty, why would anybody buy season tickets for a team that has the potential to suck?? I could see buying single game tix We've added nobodys and are hoping that many many question marks come through for us to win. We can win if ... Rowand is great. Jon is great. Uribe is great. Harris is great. Loiza is great again; Mark B is great. It's scary how bad we could be if Loiza and Mark B suck.

I liked Robbie's defense, also. It was comforting. But HSC's biggest fan made a good point. Robbie was one of the bum's who did not come through at the end vs. the Twinks. I have mixed emotions, but one firm emotion, I don't like Willie Harris. And our new ss doesn't thrill me either. I've already forgotten his name. Maybe somehow Reed and Joe B will make the team and have big years and Olivo and Crede will turn into major studs and our big three of Mark B, Loiza and Garland will excel and we'll kick ass. It's possible.

Yes thank goodness Rios is gone. He and Ramirez make me sick.

For some reason he doesn't wanna play in a big market either. --I don't want to be a smart aleck, but we aren't a big market under Dork. We have proven we are a small market team. We should win this division every other year if we'd just spend some loot.

Q-Why don't we sign him to a one-year deal?? A-Cause we are cheap, cheap cheap and our owner cares not about the fans.

Yasni, that is an awesome story! Thanks for sharing. I remember one game Peters batted I believe seventh in the order cause he hit so well. Also thanks for the Buddy Bradford stats, but didn't it say he hit .220 career? That ain't too spiffy.

I see it happening. It seems we are bound and determined to get rid of my favorite Sox, Maggs. And it seems the Bosox would love to dump Nomar. Hopefully it's all been sportstalk and KW isn't gonna trade Magglio.

Yasny: Gary Peters pitched and hit when I was a little kid and I loved him. My dream is still to talk to him. He lives in Sarasota I guess. There's a good Sox book with a story on him and I guess he was a pretty nice guy. I'll never forget listening to a gam eon radio next to bed and he hit a pinch hit home run vs. cleveland. As you can recall, he could hit the baseball.

Baggs and Spat rock along with all of the regulars. Go Sox! p.s. where is roman??

Wow, we got Uribe to play. I am hoping upon all hope he isn't another Jimenez. Hopefully Jose will play second, but this doesn't sound good shifting him all over the field again. If that's the case, I'd trade Jose. He's not valuable roaming all over the diamond. My big fear is we start Harris at second, he sucks, Uribe doesn't hit and we have a s*** April and May again until we get those two off the field. It happened the one year when KW played that fricking stiff Ramirez. I hope you guys and girls that have praised Harris are correct. I am not wanting him to fail, I just have a sick feeling that Uribe and Harris will not remind anybody of Jose and Alomar. In my mind this is a bigtime downgrade, especially with the Royals acquiring several players that should give them the division title, considering they have awesome pitching in the minors about ready. Zack Grinke (sp) is a fricking stud!!! And Gobble ain't bad.

I really do hope I'm wrong but I can't see Harris being the answer. Ditto this new ss we got. You've got to wonder what's going on when Robbie, who has a beloved brother with the Sox, signs with another team for $1 million. I will miss the fact Robbie was a defensive whiz.

great names, but didn't buddy bradford stink?

I love it! Gene Freeze and Ken Kravec. What great sox fans we have on here. If we're gonna go that far back then I'll add... Pete WARD and Wayne Nordhagen.

I've officially lowered my expectations. We are over budget. We are a low budget, low market team in one of the biggest, greatest cities in the world. We are a small market team, folks. We're gonna have to get by on scraps and hope lightning strikes one of every 10 seasons. Amazing.

Who are your favorite sox of all time that were not stars? Mine ... --Chet Lemon. --Jim Spencer. --Carlton Fisk (OK he was a star) --Gary Peters --Tony Graff. --Harold Baines --Barry Jones (the one good year) --Bobby Thigpen --Jose Valentin (for his key hits the year we won it) --Tom Seaver Least favorite --The Dybber

I don't blame the Veeck regime for any bad trades. Veeck truly had no money, unlike Dork who has some cash. I love Veeck.

Why would we trade maggs, borchard and cotts?? If we make this deal maybe Reinsdork has lost his mind.

This is a good post, cause we all love Crede. Go Joe. You gots lots of fans on here.

I stand by my quote. Maggs is so much better player than Nomar it is sick. Maggs is taken for granted because he plays here and we see him every day. I laugh at people who think other players are so much better than the ones we have here. You think Nomar hustles every play??? Give me a break. No ballplayer today truly hustles like Brett, et. all. Maggs is as good as they come in the 2000s.

Nomar is nowhere near the talent Maggs is. How can anyone argue that???

I'd rather have Maggs than Nomar. Just another bad KW trade is coming.

You can bet Evans will not give us all those players. He will wait and wait and rip off KW like all good GMs do. I wish we'd just keep Maggs his final year and work on improving our club in other ways. The guy is a freaking star, but I guess we don't have the money and we have to win with no name players.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, if we trade Maggs it really looks to the general public like a white flag sale. And we will quickly be becoming the Cleveland Indians if we do so.
