Are we expected to put a spoiler tag around every key point in every movie ever made? I watched Gone with the Wind last night,

I don't think anyone thinks the Sox can acquire Jones, but the discussion was players on the Braves that you would be interested in seeing playing for the Sox. Yeah really. Come on JPN, not for one second did you think about this?

Please get rid of Cabrera. :

They're not interested in trading him because Mahay still has a year left. Why buy high on a 37 year old?

I'll take Chipper Jones for 3B. How about Rafael Soriano or Mike Gonzalez?

Cubs got Rondell White from the Expos while he was (typically) on the DL I also like how people are ASSuming the 2 picks we get from Cabrera (something could still happen to him) = 2 top prospects. Give me a break. If the team that signs Cabrera also signs another type "A" free agent or two, it's very possible the Sox would have an additional 2nd or 3rd round pick. Based on the Sox's drafting history, I wouldn't be so sure to call someone a "top prospect" just because he was drafted early by them.

200 innings a year, 111ERA+, 1.25 WHIP, and a huge GB/FB is 4th/5th starter material these days? sign me up

Some other failed middle infielder who can be acquired for little.

better quality

Masset could be replaced by anybody. Contreras perhaps if Richard does well? Nick sucked in his one start and has a WHIP of 1.69. He's been very fortunate this year. Getting rid of Uribe would mean the Sox would have to acquire someone to fill the role of barely playing and jumping in when the team has an offensive explosion against Texas, so perhaps he could stick around.

The Sox are paying about $2 million (assuming they take the buyout) for Hall's 76 AB's of .289/.341/.368/.710 soft stick and 192 innings of catching allowing 25 SB with 5 CS. Why are they so afraid to play him? Couldn't AJ use a little more rest down the stretch? Before anyone points to me of Hall's .406/.457/.531/.988 line against LHP, consider that it's only 35 PA's and he was helped by a 3 single game against Barry Zito. I'd like to see a name that has been mentioned as being available in Miguel Olivo. His line is .255/.285/.465/.751 and against LHP it's .283/.338/.617/.955 and that's in 65 PA's. Almost double Hall's PA's against LHP and a good percentage of Tubby's entire PA's this season. In 282 innings caught, he has 10 SB's against and 9 CS. Hall career against LHP: .282/.326/.405/.730 in 693 PA's Olivo career against LHP: .291/.322/.534/.856 in 562 PA's I think the defensive upgrade and the fact he puts up a better line in more PA's shows he can give AJ more rest during the stretch run would be worth making the move. Send Hall back to the sunshine state. Marlins could use some "veteran leadership" (although Hall has mostly always played on loser teams.)

Our A. Ramirez is guilty of the warning track stuff as well. He usually drops his bat and slowly lifts his arms in the air.

He got Contreras about 2 minutes before the deadline in 2004. I wouldn't mind seeing some small deals like dumping Massest, MacDougal, Uribe, and/or Hall for some minor leaguers.

What's the fastest way and least amount of software I have to download to get the best quality?

It's got to be the stellar farm system

The only sense is that Ozzie and KW have a feeling that Masset will be pitching with a chip on his shoulder against his former organization.

Bring on Street!

He's been on a cold streak and he usually gets burned on contract extensions.

He was quoted in Anaheim after receiving his gold glove how much his missed the place. After Cowley reported he wasn't showing interest in signing an extension, Cabrera refuses to talk to him. The writing's on the wall. He publically whines and isn't afraid to pout to anyone to get his way, and he doesn't want a contract extension. He can take his soft average and overrated and underwhelming defense elsewhere.

He doesn't want to be here and isn't part of the Sox's plan after this season. Screw him. Ramirez is supposed to be our SS of the future.

What is Hawk reffering to when saying Cabrera was telling the truth? Whining about the scorer's call on errors, or how much he misses playing for the Angels? I'm guessing the whining about the umpires.

I would. What is this based on? How are his communication skills? Has he ever worked in a coaching in any level of professional organization?

This doesn't make any sense. We shouldn't worry about Crede's numbers because he was demoted to Uribe's spot, but Konerko should be held against a harder curve because we was demoted to the 6th spot.

Batman Begins blows the 1989 film out of the water. Joker was too cartoonish and Begins explains the true creation of Batman.
