Hatchetman

I guess he showed up about a month ago. He pulls Randar's chain at every opportunity.

he's just got more of a soxtalk personality than a wsi personality...seems to follow the minors quite a bit. thought it might be that brando guy or something. ???

that guy cracks me up. anyone know if is he a banned soxtalker?

oh, i dunno. depends on what you could get in return. Lee is more consistent, so I'd prefer to keep him.

Grilli's "stuff" looks pretty good, but the results aren't great. I think he had an ERA over 4.00 in Charlotte....I think he's good enough to keep around....barely.

Cubs v. Twins World Series Who would you root for?

at least 3 GOOD relievers.

I saw that and I agree with most of it.

I believe you are correct. Twins are on pace to win 95 games. With frank and magglio, we are not a 95 win team.

I concur. I hope JR and KW are watching too.

i guess we can't criticize that trade anymore...

so you're saying the 50 at bats with RISP this year matters, but the 1200 other career at bats don't? ok.

cool. since stats dont matter the sox are now in 1st place!

great. he's a pinch hitter. keep it that way.

timo sux. look at the stats. .694 OPS is a joke. 20 career stolen bases and 19 caught stealing. he's 5th OF material.

I think it just boils down to poor talent evaluation. People say "none of our top prospects ever turn out." Well, that happens to everyone. The problem is we don't have many "top prospects."

RG + $8,000,000 > PK

I agree with you 100%. KW has no plan.

RE: Adkins I admit I was wrong on him so far. His minor league stats suggested he would get pounded in the majors. Maybe he picked up some new technique or something, I dunno. However, I would not count on him maintaining this level, let alone improving still. For next year I would use him the same way, kind of a middle innings guy.

that is my understanding as well.

i love it. although i hate the cubs, i love stone. he's the best.

I think wilson alvarez is a FA. i wouldn't mind him as a fifth starter/long man.

it almost sounds like "she gone!" i had canned music. organs are cool. the old wurlitzer at chicago stadium....

Having seen him on tape, it never occured to me that you were talking about his "body frame." It's obvious he's no stick figure.

Why is it that we finally find a fifth starter when we're out of it? If one of those guys could have put together an 8-12 5.25 ERA type of year, we'd be right in the race...
