So if we trade Maggs, who hits 3rd, Lee?

I know this is a term often associated with baseball franchises and their styles of evaluating talent, especially Billy Beane and the Oakland A's. Well I was wondering to myself what exactly it was and I'm sure some of the posters around here are unfamiliar with the concept. So for those who are interested, I found this article and it does a pretty good job explaining it. http://www-math.bgsu.edu/~albert/papers/saber.html Here's another as well, just as good as the first: http://www.baseball1.com/bb-data/grabiner/.../manifesto.html

Yes we're all morons, interesting you seemed to left out out one vital stat about Frank. He hits .250 with runners in scoring position....hmmm..now what was our problem in Minnesota when we were swept? Before you go around calling people idiots, maybe you ought to look at other points of views various posters around here have to offer. If not than you should just leave, because you won't be here long. CWSOX45 I agree. Calling people "idiots" and "morons" is the quickest way for an admit to deliver the following phrase to you... YOUGAWN!!!!

How dare you interrupt my Paris Hilton session with Hillary Duff...

Have no fear, I am back with my latest Paris Hilton installment...

i think it would be wrong for the sox to ask magglio to re-structure his contract. look at the numbers he put up in '99 and '00 when he made less than a million for those two years combined. when the sox gave him this current contract i would guess their thinking involved rewarding him for those years where he made jack in addition to what they viewed his future performance would be. well he kept up his part of the deal with his numbers in my opinion and to turn around and ask him to re-negotiate for less money, i think would be insulting. if the situation were reversed and he was asking for more money because the market had spiraled upward how do you think fans and management would react? my guess would be they would tell him to honor the contract he signed. an example would be scottie pippen. He doesn't have to restructure anything. And of course, we're not obligated to keep him on the Southside either. I love Mags, I think he's a great player, a good guy in the Clubhouse and an overall oustanding citizen. But anything to improve the Sox I am in favor of. If trading him improves our team, I have no problem with it.

All reports say he will either stay in NY or go to Houston. Also, haven't seen you post before, so Welcome JR.

It's time for SoxTalk to adjust it's clocks...

Now we just need the man in my av to get it all together and we have a bright outfield to look forward to.

Where do you think he'll start next season Rex? AAA or the big club?

Got screwed again, they don't even get the Yankees in a weekend series - AGAIN.

Was that how we signed Buehrle?

That's truly hilarious. Not to be a dick Aboz, you seem like a pretty cool cat, but I always thought it was pretty corny to have a picture of yourself as an avatar and the fact that something that I already found to be corny was included in a bad joke just makes the picture that much funnier. What's corny about it? That I'm not scared to show my face? Anyhow, I actually found it humorous as well that someone would take criticism of a logo and turn it into a signature and place my picture in it. But whatever floats your boat I guess. Life goes on.

I think Konerko will have a solid year next season. A $7 million dollar season? No. But is .280, 25 HR and 100 RBI out of the realm of possibilities? I don't believe so. Let's hope I'm right on this.

Great post. And this is exactly why he is either going to have to restructure his deal with some kind of extension, be traded or hurt the team's ability to improve drastically by taking up that much salary.

I agree with cw on Colon. He ate innings but by no means did he dominate anyone or in anyway justify a salary of $12 mil per season. Plus, there's no telling how long that tub of goo frame will hold up. If he wants to go elsewhere and take the money, fine by me.

Yep, all Frank's fault.... Not all his fault, but our so-called "franchise player" should perhaps show up for once in a clutch situation. Wait, that would be too much to ask for.

By the way, where was our $6 million dollar DH during the last Twins series? Oh yea, he had his head buried in a bucket of balls the whole time... Frank :dips***

Well there's $6 mil wasted....

Amanda Bynes rocks my world....
