Steve Bartman's my idol

What is a priority for the ChiSox, what if the Yankees and Angels offer to pay everyone's contract? Would KW go for that?

But with the addition of a solid starter and solid reliever, it could take some of the pressure off of having to score so many runs.

Is it that important to get a bat in return? What about if we just get Washburn/Ortiz and Percival for Valentin and Konerko?

Right now I would like Erstads bat better than either Konerko or Valentin, minus the power, I don't like him at first base, but getting Washburn or Ortiz for Konerko/Valentin, (equivalent to straight up), I'm all for that.

Lets do the second scenario, but I really don't want Lackey, I would take Ortiz or Washburn.

Remember, when he was healthy, he was actually better then the "2nd coming" Kerry Wood.

What about for Lieber if he is healthy?

Sorry about the spelling error, I didn't go to Michigan.

If he is available, we should be going after Alfonzo.

What about Lieber if healthy?

Why not if you want to get rid of some $$, KW said that he wouldnt be involved in the AROD deal, because he couldn't get rid of Valentine anymore, here's your chance Kenny.

I don't know if I trust him, he has been trying to move players to free up money and what has he done for us? He let Alomar go for 1M a year and Everett to Montreal for 5M over two years. He couldn't sign those two? If he did all we would need would be pitching, now we need a 2nd baseman and a centerfielder as well. How bout trading Valentine to the Yankees now that Boone is out for the year?

KW is a moron, he's trying to pull our chain, over and over. I don't know if anyone brought this up, he stated that right now, the WS are over budget. If we are over budget, where were we going to get the money to resign Bartolo, after all, didn't he offer over 30 Mill to him?

No, Israel4ever went to Rogers Elementary school. In regards to Mags being a rent a player for one year, I tend to agree, and that is the reason that I would make this trade as well. If I remember correctly, towards the end of the baseball season, one of the two major newspapers in Chicago mentioned that Mags would be leaving Chicago for San Diego when he becomes a free agent. I don't know what San Diego has to offer the players (baseball wise), but it seems as if many players want to go there. I believe they cited the weather and the Hispanic community. :fthecubs

I do this trade in a second.

Lets hope that it takes the Cubs out of the Maddux hunt. :fthecubs

:fthecubs :fthecubs :fthecubs :fthecubs :fthecubs Yeah Prior sure can change the outcome of a game singlehandly, look at Game 6 of the NLCS, with 5 outs to go, what a choke, and they blame it all on my idol!!!! :fthecubs

Lamar Hoyt just got released from prison.

We shouldn't be a money tight team, our team plays in Chicago not Des Moines.

Aren't there any other second baseman out there???????? We need to make the Nomar deal so we can move Valentin to 2nd or trade him for Carlos GUillen.

I just heard that Matt Karchner became available.

There's gotta be someone better, I cant stand Willie Harris.

Its pretty sad that you guys accept winning the division three years ago, what have you done for me lately. I thought things were on the upswing with the trades for Robbie Alomar, Carl Everett, and the rest, but things are back to normal, and you guys are happy. STOP LIVING IN THE PAST, ITS FOR LOSERS!!!!!!!

now trade nomar and konerko to Anaheim for Washburn, Percival and Erstad.

I wouldn't mind Gabe Kapler for centerfielder as well as taking a chance on Orlando Hernandez.
