Mike Jackson -----> http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/transact...th=12&year=2003

I guarantee the Bulls would sell for a lot more than $330M, hell i bet JR could get like $500M if he decided to sell.

Yeah, Trump isn't gonna get into baseball to lose money.

He was the closer for the Tribe in '99, right? Anyway, i remember him being a pretty good pitcher, hopefully he has one good season left in him.

Whatever happened to Mike Jackson, he was a pretty good reliever, but i didn't hear s*** about him in 2003.

I think Helling will become a pretty good middle relief guy for them. I doubt they give him a chance to start.

I'll say 4th or 5th, 6th at worse.

I'm willing to bet everything i own that he'll be in the rotation at the start of the season. The way i see it KW has already promised Scho a spot.

He would gave gotten $2.0-2.4M in arbitration, so even if he meets all bonuses we still save a few bucks.

Trading PK for Erstad dose nothing money wise. Erstad 2004: $7.5M 2005: $8.0M 2006: $8.5M I'd rather keep PK.

Boston won't take PK, we'd have to trade PK to another team and take on Damon's salary. My point being if we can get rid of PK's salary, there's better options than taking on Damon's $7.5M.

He'll do much worse, but for $7.5M you can get much more than what Damon offers.

.345 OBP in 2003 .356 OBP in 2002 .324 OBP in 2001 .347 OBP in his career Maybe its just me, but don't you need to get on base to be a lead off guy?

Still no pitching and they will NEVER be able to win more game than the Yankees or Red Sox's.

When JR dies his son will probably take over and even if they sell we still have lots of cheap minority owners.

50 Bucks says we offer offer arbitration, he accepts and we have him at $15M for 2005. Than again JR might decline arbitration and we don't get s***.

To be fair Scho has never been a guy to give up a lot of HR's, only 3 in 64.2 innigs last season and he's never given up more than 21 in a single season.

I don't get why people are so high on Damian Moss, he's 27, he's had one fluk season and it's not like he has good stuff or great control. At this point he's no better than Scott Schoenweis.

1. KW isn't doing s***. 2. I'm not impressed with KC's pitching. 3. This division is so weak no team is a clear favorite, which ever team can get hot and put a few winning streaks together will come out on top. But if i had to pick a favorite i'd still pick the Twins over the Royals.

By the looks of things he will be in the rotation. A better question is who else will join him in the rotation? I don't think KW will sign another starter so it comes down to Rauch, that rule 5 draft pick, Cotts, Wright, and Diaz. We NEED more pitching.

He did pitch over 200 innigs in 2001. I actually like Schoeneweis, yes his ERA is a little high, but when you compare his other stats you should come to the conclusion he had some bad luck or he gave up a lot of runs in one or two outings. A .640 OPS is pretty good. He has good control and dosen't give up many HR's, i think people will be pleasantly surprised with him.

Well, if he would have went to arbitration these next two years he would have gotten more than 15 mil (given his level of play remains at the same level). The Sox's most likely saved money, its either pay him 15M/2 Years or cut him (i guess you can trade him, but you won't get fair value).

I'd rather see Schoeneweis as the 5th starter than Cotts/Wright/Rauch/Diaz/Miller.

Schoeneweis vs Lefits: .227 AVG, .571 OPS Wunch vs. Lefits: .127 AVG, .508 OPS I'd say its a good thing they'll be back.

Even with Garcia, Nomar, and Williamson this team isn't good enough to make the playoff (Yes, even in this division). Now, i'm hope i'm wrong and the Sox's win 95+ games, than we can start rebuilding next season, but i don't think this team has is in them to be a playoff team.
