In my opinion, our worst enemy is Reinsdork. The second is KW. There's no way we're going to win anything meaningful this year unless Frank hits .340 with 44 home runs and returns to the Frank of old by luck.

Bringing back Lofton would make me puke. p.s. I sure hope Alomar doesn't play much. Alomar cannot hit the baseball. The guy will be lucky to get 20 singles next year.

Alomar is such a stiff. I hope Olivo does well enough he can play 130 games. Are you folks high onOlivo? Is he a star in the making? Sandy can only hit singles and is so slow. I pray he plays 20 games at most.

I liked the article. He's right. We are incapable of getting it right. We aren't going to win the division with our starters, folks. It's that simple. It's Mark B., then mediocrity. And it scares me to think Ritchie may be back.

If we make any of these trades, I'm out. Not that anybody would care, but if we make a batch of bad trades, I will get a new hobby.

wow, baggs and spat are back. Keep Konerko!

I agree with chick. I'd have hung up immediately. No way I trade Maggs for anybody. I can't believe how people sometimes take for granted the stars we've got. Trading Maggs for anybody in baseball is insane!

how could any team be dumb enough to sign royce?

I Would not deal all those guys for Vladdy. The key is to grab big salary guys off teams like the Expos for fricking prospects who suck. It happens all the time like the Royals' miserable trades for dye, damon, et. all. We always give up too much. Aren't you all sick of giving up too much in trades??

i wouldn't mind dealing harris.

Trading Crede for anybody would be asinine. Not playing guys we developed would be asinine. Keep our homegrown players for gosh sakes!

cause we always have to overpay. we have a gm who gives away too much.

i agree. we always give up too much. we get robbed every time.

i hate to be the eternal pessimist, but i think we gave up too much. comments?

I agree they are all overpaid, but I'm glad they gave Konerko big bucks. Let's face it, we're never going to win anything of great significance since we don't pay big bucks. And I agree Mark B. is gone as soon as he can sign with St. Looie. He's out of here. We don't pay money. Period.

Trading Wright would be a huge mistake. The guy had a good season. That trade you suggested in the first thread would be a disaster down the line for the Sox. Again, we have to be like normal teams when making a trade. To send some fricking stiff prospects for the expensive player we want. Other teams rob us and if we do what you want we will be robbed again. Lee and Wright alone are way too much, not to mention those other guys. What we have in many cases isn't half bad.

Belive me folks, we don't want Perez. I am in KC and he is horrible. He is hated hated hated here. He is way worse than Royce. He is pathetic. Stay away from this guy!

I like Valentin cause with him at ss we won the division by a zillion games. After he got moved all over the place we sucked and have sucked ever since. I know ... he's not the only reason we won the division that year, but I sort of liked Valentin ever since that season. For some reason I still like him. Good points in the other post about Mark B and Maggs being our heart and soul. Seems to me we've got 5-7 great players and we need to fill in better around them. With our payroll restrictions it may be impossible to do.

Good for you, Heather. Congrats. You made a wise choice in not giving it up in this day and age. Go girl, go.!

Yikes... If Frank is really working out like this, they we better keep him. If he's motivated, look out. Frank might be back. p.s. Our bad luck he gets motivated now that he's leaving, ala David Wells.

One other thing: I can see having doubts about Liefer ... but Rowand? I thought everybody rated him an outstanding prospect??

You said: Marginal is more the word I would use to describe Rowand. Granted I don't get to see as many games as you guys n girls, but why is everybody so down on Rowand? I sort of like the guy. What don't we like about Rowand? Check the regular season stats of Erstad. How good were they?? Not that good. Don't you all think Rowand is a damn good player?

i would veto that trade for Colon We need to start making trades like teams with a clue do. Give up nobodies to get somebodies.

Great point on second half stats, Roman. I can't argue with your stats. Good job. I am glad Paul got signed for 3 years. And if we keep Frank, that's fine also. But I took exception to your heart and soul comment cause I think he's done some stupid things to be called our heart and soul.

Glad you say Maggs is just a bad rumor. If Maggs leaves I hope they just move the team.
