I think we have a right handed Kelly Wunch on our hands, IMO he's not closer material and he'll lose his 'given' closer spot in ST.

He's right handed and apparently the Yankees were offering a lot more money, but he wanted a chance to be a closer. BTW, he's a sidearm type pitcher.

He did try to re-sign some of them, we were just out bid. Either way Colon and Flash would have been too expensive.

I think Thomas works out at the same club as Aaron.

I hope you meant to say "does rub off". You won't find anyone not named A-Rod that works harder than Frank in the off-season.

Rauch, i have no faith in Person, Cotts or Grilli.

I hope Ginter has a good spring, i've always felt he'll be a damn good reliever if given the chance and i think Rauch might be down to final option too, so he's almost a given to make the team.

How many options do Rauch and Ginter have left?

Once the Sox's get their own channel (next season) they should have more ST games on TV.

You can take the Nets off the list, Tump is not involved.

Dempster + Injuries = Done Minor league deal, nothing more.

The point i was making is that Cotts could still shift the trade heavily in our favor. I'm not a big Cotts fan, but the potential is there.

Don't forget he gave up Neal Cotts in the deal. They had Foulke for one season, we'll have Cotts for a while.

Yeah, it's definitely too late now, but come the All-Star beark and the trade deadline teams will get more desperate. KW better get busy than if were out of the race by than.

I think this team needs to start over, deal Mags, Konerko (it should be easier midseason), Koch (same as Konerko), and if E-Lo gets off to a good start try and sign him to a 3 year extension, if he declines; trade him. Next season, i'd look for as much young pitching i can find and spend every available penny to acquire it, along with the best SS (other than Nomar) the market has to offer.

Even in Forbes you won't find a team with a operating profit above $20M and you'll probably find the Sox's come close to breaking even every season.

He's just pulling numbers out of his ass. No team in baseball makes a $30M profit.

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.
