i never mention that pods will be a complete failure. here is the time to get a player or several players in the fa market and so far he only got dye and hermanson. when sprin training gets closer, most if not all the fa's are going to get signed. if kw doesn't move and make offer to get some help then the offseason is a waste, and i do mean a waste. if you think that getting players via a trade is what kw is going to do, then expect one sided trades, has he been in most of these past trades. are you serious that you are going to wait and see that he is going to bring in players to help??? at what cost???

the A's will not be able to hold on to them, when their time comes to be a fa's, so he traded them for a whole bunch of prospects. again kw should learn something from him.

i don't know how you meant by that statement of yours, however here the time that the sox can really improve the team. with the majority of the talent that is called fa's, they will be gone by the new year begins.

someone still believes in santa still. uh. i would be shocked if kw could pull anything off.

ummm that is a interesting pict you paint there with la.

the only way for kw to make a trade is to over pay. maybe billy boy felt sorry for fleecing kw before.

its been said that tex is trying very hard to unload him. i wonder if any team has approach them about him. i think it is still a possible to have a 2 team trade.

i think that just maybe the young bulls will learn how to win. i know they had a hard lesson in how to lose. these young players are growing up now. how bout those 04 draft picks. wow

why not alfonso soriano, he is avail thru a trade with tex

i wasn't too sure if you were kinding or not. ref to contreras, he did have some really bad outings there. however having him as our #2 or 3 sp is too much. i see him as a #4 at best and garland our #5. we still need a good starting pitcher.

Contereras? Garland? and you still have confidence in these pitchers???

what, we need a 2 basemen, what happen to harris???? did people give up on him??? i remember defending my one sided trades that kw got taken for.

i would really love to get aj at catcher. what gets me is there is no reason why we couldn't have sign any other starting pitcher. no reason what - so - ever. how but trades, there are plenty going on, why not the sox and i am not talking about that one-sided trade with the brewers.

not getting omar at the start gave me the strange feeling that this offseason is going to suck. is there any pitching help in the horizon??? how is everything going?

the sox should have done that a long time ago, why did it take soooo much time to do it??? pitch inside, and see what happens. the minny players can't afford to get suspended, so they might not do anything major.

what a great thread you started, b/c what you are bring up is very valid. rock the s*** out of them.... ala det several yrs ago.

and jon rauch was pitcher of the yr and even after his surgery, he pitched well, look at cotts the point is what they do in the minors they may never those numbers in the majors./ i like this..

Here is the list i made before this yrI am making this list for all to see. trades trades. decision Royce Clayton and his 5 mil contract A. Myatte(sp) Lost, I would have had the minor leaguer sox lost money for 3 yrs at least and the cancer in the dug out. Julio raminez Jeff Abbott At the time jeff was on the major league roster, lost the trade D wells M stiro Even out, except that b/c of the rap the kw got, he lost out Signing baines n/a Did he really help? Sox lost money Mike Williams Matt dewitt Sox won the trade, b/c didn’t mike pitch in the majors and matt never made it? a. osanu Gary majic or something Sox won the trade Berry, baldwin Berry and gary majic or something Lost even more b/c he screwed up, laughing stock, sox lost the trade a. embree d. hassellholf Did embree really do anything for the sox?? Sox won the trade by default. ??? Brook Fordyce Sox lost the trade Signing of jose canseco n/a Sox won by default? Signing howry to a contract extension, multi mil one at that Sox lost money Bill Pulsipher off waivers n/a Sox won Player to be name later perry Sox lost the trade B simmons and r kohlmeir off waivers n/a Never amounted to anything Shaffer and bilowski 2 minors Who cares….. never amounted to anything Kipper Todd Ritchie Sox lost the trade to put it mildly. Almost trade ernstd For chirs singleton and jon garland The sox won by not doing the trade. Willie harris Chris Singleton Sox lost trade Signing Kenny lofton n/a At the time sox lost for now, Damaso Marte For matt guierre Sox won Franklin Francisco and Byeong An howry Sox won E Pacheco s. alomar Sox lost F diaz and r meaux k. lofton So far a win for the sox. But lofton did good in the playoff. J Adkins R durham Sox lost the trade. D'Angelo Jimenez Alex Fernandez and catcher Humberto Quintero Even trade? considering the he was a cancer, sox lost in addition isn’t humberto turning into a nice prospect? Clayton is release on waivers Sox won, should have happen sooner. Resign sandy alomar Sox won not having to give anything up. Koch and cotts Foulke Sox lost trade period. Koch sign an extension for 5.25 mil for 2 yrs Colon i forgot I will still say the sox won this trade even tho the reliever wounded up with 30 something saves for the expos. Sox sign 7 players the only one of importance is Esteban Loaiza Sox won Sign rick white and tom Gordon Sox won on one and lost money on the other Sign a rios Sox lost money Carl Everett Francisco, rupe and webster I never did like this trade, sox lost. R alomar Ring, almonte, savlio Sox won the trade imho. Sullivan Cash I like this trade, sox won. Brian Daubach ??? Sox got him, but he was a waste in mho Daubach was release Cash was lost, who cares Uribe Aron miles At first I thought sox lost, but I was wrong This was semi complete list of transactions until the beginning of 2004. Of the major trades, the sox lost in those trades, in major signing, the sox won the majority of those. Still the major trade is were they hurt the sox the most. The likes of clayton, Ritchie, durham, Baldwin, brooks Fordyce, foulke, Everett were and are the major trades in which sox and kw lost. Colon, alomar, uribe, and lofton are the major trades in which the sox won. I won’t go into the minor trades and signing.

if we are dreaming, why not add carlos into the mix as well.

maybe not resign, but offer him arb, again why can't mags just bat and be a dh

1 season does not make a career.

willie harris aside, kw has constantly been on the worst end of the trades, except for a few.

dah........... now i see. thanks

both are good trade bait imo.

then why go after players like damon? by your reasoning, we should get him for the cheap.
