Is anyone excited about watching Everett play every day in RF next year?

Mags turned down a pretty damn good offer from all accounts. One that was more than anyone thought the sox would offer and one that many thought was too generous. At that point it became clear he would not return.

i didn't mind losing rauch, but i did mind getting everett. what a waste of time.

why didn't KW sign redman in the offseason? $2million per ain't bad for a .500 type pitcher...

it's concerning.

it COULD be a stamina issue. not necessarily, but possible... remember his first year I think it was when he was sucking it up in the rotation, they put him in relief and he did a good job.

I mean there are hardly any closers who ever succeed without 95+ mph heat. I can only think of a few.... John Franco Dennis Eckersley Jeff Reardon Trevor Hoffman Rollie Fingers Jeff Montgomery Doug Jones Bruce Sutter Rod Beck Mariano Rivera Dave Righetti Dan Quisenberry Hoyt Wilhelm Gene Garber Gregg Olson Dave Smith Jeff Shaw Bobby Thigpen Mike Henneman Jeff Russell Steve Bedrosian Kent Tekulve Tug McGraw Jeff Brantley Roger McDowell Willie Hernandez

hope to see you on WGN ASAP!

on murph this morning. ERA by time through the batting order. lifetime jon garland 1st time through the order = 2.2 2nd time = 4.8 3rd time = 7.7 4th time = 9.something

this just verifies cooper is an idiot. yeah, farnsworth would be better

listen, we're not ever going to the series, so keep borchard. this is as exciting as we get.

olivo

describe where it went...please.

no but i remember Soxfest!, Baseball's Best ads from 1984 I believe.

Sounds good to me!

Jeez, I don't expect much out of the injured guys.

Ok, last season KW thought a new manager would solve everything so he did very little in the offseason. Hopefully that will change this offseason.

How about a legit left handed hitter?

He's a 5th starter. What is a 5th starter worth in $$ terms? What will Garland get paid next year? I'm guessing this adds up to sell.

we'd have to pay those guys if we bring them up

How about a double play combination that plays together every day?

somehow his major league stats are about the same as he put up in the minors.

I'd rather see him as a set-up man, but yeah I wouldn't mind trading him. (I'd like to trade everyone and start from scratch).

Wonder what we could have got for him last off season?

That's an interesting table tlak.
