good point

good point

does anyone know that hernandez's pitching style is like? hard-thrower? soft-tosser? thanks much.

obviously you don't value the importance of defense. and also, why don't YOU check your stats? might help if you visit a site before posting numbers. try: http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats/ml...ator=pierzynski http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats/ml...mit&timeFrame=1 http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/stats/ml...=XXXX110184cha2 i would think someone who has posted here more than i have would know that by now, guess not.

ditto

i'm not sure about him. career .290+ hitter but last year he threw out about 23% of would-be basestealers, which i heard was a reason san fran got rid of him. miguel olivo threw out about 35%, sandy 40%(i was kinda surprised at that), and 29% for davis(didn't check on burke). we already know our pitching staff for the most part takes forever to get the ball to home plate. remember how bad, i.e.brian roberts of baltimore, made us look last year. could be that much worse w/ pierzynski. is the offense that much worth it? he was like a .307 hitter w/ RISP and a.270+ hitter w/ 2 outs and RISP, but is it worth it if we're supposed to be building around defense and pitching? i dunno.

i totally agree. why wait till the break to have a good team? you have the $ now, so might as well spend it now. like they say, championships aren't won in april, but they can be lost in april. i am confident kenny will spend it. having odalis signed by christmas would be a great christmas gift to us sox fans.

Konerko likely to stay

no way, we gotta have a solid bullpen and hermanson is a big part of it. he should be like plan c or d. grilli earned a shot and should be it, but ONLY IF we don't get a real starter.

ditto marte has really had only 1 really good year w/ us. rather trade him than paul at this point, depending on the deal i guess. i'm out

bruce said that a high-ranking sox official told him the sox are not interested in getting involved, so basically no. he also did say the sox are looking at perez.

i guess your right. on the catcher situation, i'm ok w/ a platoon of davis and burke, solid defensively, at least more than aj. i don't want aj, the offense is not worth the clubhouse trouble and bad throwing arm. does not bode well when garcia, marte, and contreras take forever to get the ball to home plate.

i hope we don't have to go to bmac so soon, prolly not ready. grilli could get the job done but still a real starter is needed just cause it'd be more intimidating.

there's another topic saying a 4th team could be involved, dunno who it is

i think the bosox offer was 8 per for 3 yrs., don't know if there was a higher one. i heard he'd sign for about 7.5 - 8.

i didn't see anything about clement, just alfonseca, beltran, and delgado

that sounds about right

exactly, a team player and also can bunt and distract pitchers, knows how to play the game. i like him.

i think that had something to do w/ prior, maddux, and zambrano being in the rotation

i would want perez, and i hope kenny has been flying under the radar for him. i also think aj's bad outweighs good

during the 8:20 scoreboard update on 670 AM, the update guy said it

they "learned" he will NOT sign with us, bosox leading contender

interesting that he said about c lee possibly breaking down coming in heavier every year, never thought bout but a good point. also he said the sox offer was not as much as the others but that clement supposedly wanted to stay in chicago and he said he could stick it to the cubs by comin here, but didn't renteria say something similar, it's all about the $

i heard they might use sexon in the outfield

none of the above
