LDF

and how is he doing let say in the last 10 games, the same with uribe.

is he being overpowered in AAA?

what is left in the cupbard of prospect for the sox. i know that in the lower level we have a good amount, but how does it look for, lets say prospect who would and should have help within 2 yrs? how bout 3yrs?

has bull improve his chances of ever making it to the majors as a middle relief type pitcher??? i hope so.

everett and rowand in the "of"??????????? that will be one of the weakest we had in a very long time. rowand is batting what???? do you think joe b has turned the corner? i think not.

looking at the list and this was discussed several weeks ago, the sox should sign several pitchers, 1 cat and 2 of'ers, ie 1 will the dh.

great bat, actuallu a extremely great bat. limited range and no arm what so ever.

good we didn't loose sweeney. however that trade still may happen.

that was before sweeney was being mention. think of a prospect name borchard that was being mention before.

if we were going to get floyd, i would want to have 2 of the following prospect to be added with wilson, p - capps, starling, cat - cuffman, cf - mcLouth my choice would be cf mclouth and starling. mclouth can be the leadoff hitter of the old school, get on base, steal base and sometimes hit a homer. starling on the other hand is a strike per inning kind of guy.

offer him (mags) a nice big contract for one yr. let mags regain his health and show the rest of the league he is healthy and then trade him......... like this we don't have our backs against the wall.

bottom line is, we are giving up too much for floyd, with a package of other prospect, the met are getting bensen....... too much to pay and i hope kw doesn't do it................. again >>>>>>> over pay for nothing

even if it is only a rumor, is bensen worth what the mets are offering including what is being mention what the sox have to give up............ no way.

each team has a speciality pitch that they teach their pit, i never knew what the sox was and now i do. the cutter is a nice pitch.... thanks mc

this reminds me of the old saying..... what came first the chicken or the egg.

welcome

btw, you should make a link for FS you are right about his swing, that was never question. it is his range and that what i mention last week. arz wants and needs a better range 3b. i haven't followed the minors much this yr as i have in the past. the sox move about 3 more minors and they are thru. in ref to immediate help from the minors. what i am take from what jr said is they can compete with anyone one when he wants too. the sox make the move now, see how far they go in the playoff, make 2 move in fa's and let alone the comp picks they will get will cover for what they will be losing and 3 + yrs from now, the minors will be producing big results.

i remember reading that tracy does have a decent glove, but is very limited in the range. there was talk of getting another 3b with more range. i alway thought they wanted to do what you mention.

SWEET!!!!

I have to ask you this, have you ever seen reed play to make this statement, or were you able to piece your assessment by reading sports mags on your evalution on reed.. how many minors is there that is going to do what you suggested???? you are really off base with this. btw caruso??? which caruso are you talking about?

but couldn't you have said that when the ozzie and kenny mention "where is mags" was a way of rushing him????

what gets me is this question, was he rushed????

great post ole socks. i agree with most of what you wrote. i am not against trading prospects for players, actually i was flamed for mentioning some trades that should have gone down last yr. i said last yr that mags should have been traded when sd and/or sfo was rumored to have been interested. i am not against kw for trading and that is one thing that i somewhat like of him, his guts to keep trading. however, kw imo, has been overpaying for players. i did not like the evertt trade last yr, which i mention it at the time. i am somewhat not happy with what we gave up for freddy this yr. i know, the argument is going to be is we have to give up something to get something, but the price may have been too high. (however i am happy with the pitching success freddy been having) but we still gave up too much. i always seem to think that kw was taken. some sports mag's even suggested that kw overpaid, like ba, cbsports, etc... here is an example, would you rather had randy johnson for olvio, reed etc... i think arz would like those players b/c of the catching..... for me i would have like it better. so the point of this example is this, it is all subjective on what your opinion of the player kw got and what we gave up. all i hope for is that kw knows what he is doing and not screwing up the sox. as for making a trade that would be a logical one at this time, i can't b/c there is not much i would want to trade and not touch, what i consider untouchable prospects.

how are they doing this yr. i haven't heard much on king and the 4 rounder as i did last yr.

didn't you say the same thing when kw got ritchie???
