QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 01:07 PM) He had to pass through waivers to get to AAA. Nobody wanted him. I thought he had an option left for some reason???

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:24 PM) So that way you can have two slower, bigger possession receivers, which is probably less advantageous then having a speed receiver to go along with a possession receiver? I will probably end up having Braylon go to Chicago in my mock, just because it is too difficult to predict trades...but personally, I would look for Minnesota to trade up to 2 or 3, even though I think that is the wrong move, due to Minnesota still probably needing some depth defensively. As someone once said, why hope a receiver falls when you can guarantee it? Thats overrated because of the illegal contact rules. Plus Edwards has good size too. If both are on the board I'm taking Edwards but I have no problem having two super talented receivers in Mushin and Williams.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) Saban likes Campbell and Frye a lot too, no? I have read that, and that is why they are trying to get the Surtain deal done, or trying to talk Tampa into trading up. So basically any of the second tier QBs could and probably will be headed to Miami. Cambell is going to Washington at 25 overall (if he's still there). I could also see GB take a look at him.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I didnt even Mention eddy this time you guys are obsessed with getting rid of Curry. Huh, I've long been a Curry backer. I'm just saying I'd rather have the two that have been mentioned in this thread (Howard/Okafor). They are by far more complete players.

I wonder if Dizard would be replacing Bakker or Whisler in the rotation. Haeger has pitched well since replacing Wes and Bakker hasn't pitched too hot.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 10:55 AM) We won the last game of a 4 game set there last summer.. (remember.. when I saw that rap group up there.. ). The one with the Sox tattoo right?

QUOTE(DetroitWhat @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) There's this 2 game series about to take place between these two certain teams. I was just wondering what you guys thought about it, any predictions? I'm thinking its going to be a good series. I'm afraid of the Tigers offense. Its quite good, however I'm glad Garland and Buehrle will be on the mound for the Sox. I'm anticipating a great series. I tend to think it will be a split. Ledezma always seems to pitch so good against the Sox. Of course I'm hoping for a sweep

QUOTE(rangercal @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) I dont know. I think Tyson would have emekas numbers in charlotte. Tyson doesn't start. I'd take Emeka over Eddy I'll tell you that much. I'd also take Dwight Howard over Eddy. Both are superior defensive players and while they aren't as good offensively as Curry both are capable offensive players (especially Emeka).

Aka he's on the Charlotte Knights and is hitting .259

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 12:41 PM) What's this "we" s***...??? Oh pretty please Queen Bee...Remember I don't ouster people for free

I'm wrong Randy. He was supposed to be starting for them on opening day. I'm going to shoot Alan an email when I get home and see whats wrong with Wes.

Isn't he slated to be out for a while? I can't remember what but I thought he had something bothering him. Kind of similar to Lummy even if I recall. I could be wrong, but I remember something being said.

Ya, I remember Boyer saying that it would be for Fridays game. Also we need to get a tailgate set up for either that Friday or Saturday.

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 20, 2005 -> 08:10 AM) I dunno, Oakland is not as scary as they have been in the past.. plus I like the way our team is built this year although sometimes they scare me with their low offensive production.. but the pitching has been there, and its been great.. Hey Nuke.. I wouldnt blame a tough start on Viz, he took one for the team in that ugly ugly game and if it wasnt for that he would have a pretty solid ERA right now.. He has been very good, along with everyone else, cept Dye.. but I think he will pick it up.. Its more the fact the Sox will be out on the West Coast and the West Coast treats the Sox about as it did the Bulls in years past.

I was thinking the Friday game vs the Dodgers was going to be the only one. On a related sidenote, I'm pumped..book my plane tickets today for Chicgao for that weekend

Fixed...Kanny is playing some good ball thus far though.

About damn time. Dizard is one of those guys who I liked righ whne the Sox drafted him. He's put up good numbesr but out of the pen. He's got a fantastic curve and early in his career at USC some people had compared him to Zito. This is a great move for him and a great move by the organization. Thanks for pointing this out Mike.

Hell I'd have to think the Sox would be looking to get a few guys up to Charlotte considering all those struggles. Bull may be one of those guys. The problem is I don't think the Sox want to cut some of the guys struggling in Charlotte right now.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:16 PM) ...............THANK GOD!!!!!! Plus the Roulette wheel is now firmly packed away in the closet cause even if one of our starters goes down BMAC is chomping at the bit waiting for his shot. Although Brandon kind of struggled his past two starts down in Charlotte, I wouldn't be too concerned. Still he has some learning to do before being ready to dominate, imo. But he's going to be one hell of a pitcher.

I'm planning on being there the next time the Twins are in town. August 15th a monday, tues, wed series.

QUOTE(shakes @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 01:30 PM) Steff, do you still listed to DP regularly? I can't take it without Dibble or a co-host. He's too serious now. I used to love the light heartedness of that show. That show was my favorite. Its still good, but I miss Dibble. He made that show hillarious.

The Barons win 4-1. Bull picked up the win going 5 innings while giving up just 1 run. Barons scored all 4 runs in the 2nd inning. Josh Fields hit a total bomb (solo shot) to centerfield and then Gonzo had an RBI single and Corey Haggerty a 2 run triple. BJ Lamura had 3 shutout innings of relief (4 K's) and Reynoso picked up his 1st save of the season. Sean Tracey (1-0, 2.61 ERA) will face Derek Thompson tomorrow afternoon.

Howard and Okafor get the nod over Gordon by me. However being that the two are big men they could split some of the vote with Gordon getting in. The thing is Howard and Okafor are essentially clones so you may have some people giving Howard the nod, others Okafor. Those will be the ones that give it to a guy that plays defense, gets boards, is on the court more, etc. Gordon will get all the votes for people that look at him leading the team to the playoffs, etc Who would I vote for...Howard, maybe Okafor, but it sure as hell wouldn't be Gordon. Gordon is 6th man of the year though, imo.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) We got series against Detoilet and KC coming up. We should ( I emphasize SHOULD ) have no trouble beating up on these sissies. Nah, KC has been actually decent and Detroit has a very good offense. One game at a time Nuke, one game at a time. The Sox have had trouble with these type of mathcups the past few years so I ain't doing anything but hoping the Sox play good baseball.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 07:49 PM) Are these seats any good? Right behind home plate and only a few rows are them. Also you get unlimited food and parking passes. The Dodgers charge 450 for those seats out here. It is the 1st year they have them as well. I wouldn't get season tix back there, but I'd love to go to one game a year in them. I think it be a real blast.
