Got the internet feed on, but I'm also reading (stupid finals) so if someone else can type up a summary that be great Also Kogs your a machine lately on this type of stuff

I thought Blockbuster dumped late fees a whlie ago, now they just rebill you the same amount and give you another week.

I don't know how mnay posts there were yesterday, but I'm going to reckon there were more then 2000. But, hell, I know this site has tons of passionate fans and its always funny getting into discussion about the Sox and other things with everyone here.

Trust me, only way Hermy is in the rotation is if one of the starters gets injured or sucks horribly.

I think a 3yr 21-24 mill offer by the Sox will get Clement.

When I graduated high school we had a huge ass bonfire and all of us burned our notebooks and books

Ian...I'm sure your still in shock that I got it up so quick. I must have Soxtalk viagra right now, lol. I'm even creating a subforum for the hot chick contest as we speak, lol.

I talked about him a couple days ago, but he's versatile. Can play short or 2nd and had an above average OBP last year (too lazy to look up the stats, but I think it was like .354 or .364). Plays good defense at 2nd and is an average defensive shortstop. Has very little pop but rarely strikes out. Smart ballplayer who works his ass off. Would be a very good pickup if he's non-tendered to complete the infield. Would fit in nicely in the two hole cause he can handle the bat. If he gets non-tendered (which I doubt happens) then I think he'd be a favorite to go to the Sox and join his brother. Along with a possibility of Perez or Clement and then I'd love to see Pyrz.

Nah, I never cried over Ring. Thought the Sox may of given up too much for Webster when they include Rupe, but other then that never had a problem. I think if your going to deal one of your top few prospects though, that you should get a guy thats more then just a rent a player, unless your talking about a legit guy that can bring you the series. Getting Garcia was fantastic and as much as I hate the fact that the Sox are saddled with Everett he was still a solid pickup at the time a few months ago cause Rauch was nothing and while I am a fan of Majewski, it was a solid pickup. Sox needed to see if they could make the playoffs. This season I like the chances a lot better cause it seems like they'll have a team at the start of the season and then won't have to make a move just to make the playoffs, but hopefully will be making a move to ensure a World Series I should add I'd deal any trio of prospects for Huddy if the Sox are willing to sign him to an extension. God would I love Hudson.

Vodka Tonic with Grey Goose. Screw beer if I'm going to die.

Ok, putting it up right now. Looks sharp Ian

Cool...should I be checking my email?

OMG, this would be fabulous news. If this works, I'd drop the vaccine into the water supply in Africa to do everything it took to save all those babies who die of aids a year. Of course I'm sure some new deadly disease will popup, even harder to cure. It seems like as we develop a cure for one, another one or an offshoot of one will pop up harder to cure. Hopefully they can figure out the causes of cancer and better cures for it as well as Aids.

Lol, I used to that all the time. No matter what my friends were using there cards, I wasn't about to pay my late fees. Then of course I looked at my credit card bill and forgot they had it so i got billed for like 3 weeks of late fees when I swore I returned the movie. Regardless, now I got netflix and it owns.

Ya, KW needs to get a pitcher. But I think he's going to. Kenny tends to do what he says he's going to do. I fully believe he works his ass off. In fact I think the reason he doesn't necessarily like the FA route is it involves more patience cause typically you banter back and forth with a player and his agent for a while, while with a trade, you can really hammer it out quickly and then Kenny knows what he wants is done and he doesn't have to worry about something else happening or getting in his way.

But over the years I notice guys that say fly under the radar in their system tend to do pretty well. Buehrle, Ordonez, Lee to be specific. I think Bmac and Tracey fit that bill. I really dont' think the Sox hype there guys too much, although they do hype Anderson more then my liking. But BA, they have become a hype machine. Still got great info but the more I learn about the minors the more my mind differs from the stuff they write. Still, I think its so key to have a strong farm system cause it gives you options, whether you can use a rookie to help your club or use them to give you a veteran boost via trade.

Ya, he's going to be here through 2007 at the least. And if he keeps pitching well I anticipate him to stick around for a long time. KW is building this team around pitching and defense and he's not going to let his pitchers just leave if they are pitching well and willing to sign a contract at market value.

Nah, not a sure thing. Mark Prior, he was a sure thing, imo. And even then you don't know. But Bmac pitches with poise and command and thats why I think so highly of his chances.

To go with what they say, he's the best pitching prospect in the organization and tore through the minors last season with stops in Kanny, WS, and then Bham. I think he'll start the year again in Bham, but I'm one of the few that does. I think he could use a little more time there. Has fantastic control and attacks hitters. Limits hits and has been a strikeout machine in the minors. I think he's led the minors in K's most every year (although I don't think he got it this year). His big pitches are the fastball, curve, and changeup (which is turning into a good pitch). His changeup is really helping his arsenal. Him and Sean Tracey are the best two starting pitching prospects the Sox have at this point, imo. But they have a lot of guys who with good years can move themselves up. But as of this point none rank near where Bmac does although I think Tracey has a high ceiling and then some of last years draft class (lumsden, Gio, Liotta) and then you have Rodriguez and Haig down in Kanny who I think have a shot. Then of course Diaz and Munoz who at best are 5th starters, imo, but have a shot to be quality relievers.

Killa.....

haha, when I saw the thread, I thought you were going to give me an explanation for why It seems I can never sell my textbooks back But thats pretty cool stuff.

Don't ask me. I try my best to stay away from this crap. I don't follow it on the news and try to stay away from it, but still you end up hearing so much about it. Its sad and all but It doesn't need all this publicity.

I can tell you one thing. The Mets would definately make this deal. But the Sox won't. If it wasn't for the fact that I hate Piazza, I wouldn't have as much of a problem with it, cause he should do better. But he is unwilling to play first base, injury prone and the contract ain't all that grand. And Victor isn't a good enough arm to get. If someone straightens him out he could turn into an ace, but its unlikely at this point.
