Dodger stadium is near the pitchers park the Safeco is. Beltre is a phenomenal player, both offensively and defensively. Its money well spent. Richie Sexson on the other hand...now thats overpaying.

Personally I hope he has a ploy of landing Hudson, simply because he'd be awesome. I won't complain with any of the 4 mentioned though. They better add a pitcher though. But Pyrz and Perez is ok by be

Too lazy too look, instead I went to work

Who wants to make a picture of him in a Sox uniform. Its about time I try this thing out. I want Pyrz...I want Pyrz....

Hudson, RJ or Clement or Perez. Its going to be one of those guys, I think.

That makes sense for the Dodgers. Simply because Depodesta would love to move Green's contract.

Thats a good move by the Mariners. Much better then giving Sexson the money. They are done making any big name acquisitions, unless of course that guy is Matt Clement or another pitcher. Delgado is talking with both New York teams extensively as well as the Orioles. Call it a hunch but if he sits out for a while, maybe the Angels make a phone call his way.

Ya, your correct on Contreras.

Oh god Willie....don't get me too excited. I'm such a Pyrz fan. Please kenny Please

Stoney is the man.

Smoltz signs a 2 year extension with the Braves.

Yanks supposedly have gotten into the Hudson talks because the BoSox jumped in.

I remember reading he wanted a similar deal to what Morris got and that would be pretty much to the T. Both made a ton of money last year too.

Do you guys realize Millwood is younger then Clement? Geeze, I would of never thunk it. Only by a couple months of course. Mill turns 30 on xmas eve.

If Hairston Jr. gets non-tendered I bet the sox make a phone call, just like they do if Cora gets non-tendered. Considering the Sox have about 11.5 to spend now, they could have some options depending on what they do. God I hope they get RJ or Hudson and then could pick up one of the non-tenders and Pyrz. That would be a pipedream I'm sure but wow. Oh ya, a 5th starter too.

Wow thats a nice chart Rex. Looks like the Sox may have a little more cash then some of us think.

Alvarez has resigned with the Dodgers or at least thats what a few people here have posted. I don't remember reading it, but I assume it happened. I know he was expected to.

It seems rather obvious at this point that if the White Sox pick up there starter via the trade route, which is quite possible with the FA market being set as high as it is, then who do you want or do you see as the Sox 5th starter? Personally I think regardless of who they get, they need to pick up a guy to a one year stop gap contract until McCarthy or another prospect is ready. I think Elo would look fantastic as a #5 and I think he'd consider an incentive deal if he doesn't get a great offer anywhere else. Especially if he thinks the Sox are going to be a really good team, cause we've all seen what being showcased in the playoffs can do for someone, plus just being on a good team. However, I think if JR was serious he should take a big time look at Kevin Millwood who will look for a contract similar to Matt Morris. A one year deal with a base of 2-3.5 million and that amount in incentives. Its a great deal for both teams, as if he pitches his ass off the Sox rotation looks phenomenal and the team should be very good and if he doesn't you get him at a solid price and he should (assuming healthy) at least be an innings eater. Plus he's going to have a lot to prove signing a one year deal. I'm more trading Garland/Marte/Anderson for Hudson (if thats what it takes and if the Sox are prepared to offer him 3 to 4 years at 12-13 mill a season). The Sox would see a net increase in payroll of only like 3 million this year, which means they would still have some funds available to add Millwood and maybe even Pyrz to a one year deal (although I'd like to go multi year with him). Then convince Scho to be the left handed reliever if possible. Could you guys imagine Hudson Buehrle Garcia Contreras Millwood Geeze that would be fantastic.

If it helps...I decided I want to have even more fun rooting for the Bulls so I acquired Chandler and Curry in my fantasy league for Rasheed and Abdur Rahim. I may of gave up a bit too much, but my team could use rebounding from Chandler and both him and Curry have high field goal percentages. Plus Curry is a solid fantasy center to go with Shaq. Rasheed is sucking ass but Rahim is solid. My team is losing anyway so I figured the hell with it, gimme the twin kids

No, it was one pitcher and later it came out it was a misunderstanding. I remember hearing an interview with Pyrz talking about it. And yes he would watch his buddies on the Twins play. He commented about it and said hey they are my friends. Guys watch tv all the time in the clubhouse and I like catching up on my good buddies who I came up to the majors with to see how they are doing.

Bulls would obviously be doing this for financial reasons cause they don't care about Williams anyway. But I still think they could get a pick or something and just cut the two.

Ya they were. Luckily they finally appear ready to get back on track.

Ya, its been heavily reported on the radio that those comments were from the first month. After that he had a solid reputation in the Giants clubhouse. They are getting rid of him for financial reasons. Arbitration isn't a wise thing and they picked up a guy whose a stud defensive catcher and a little cheaper (Matheny). However I think it was a stupid move on the Giants part. Heck, ask the Twins mates what they thought of Pyrz. He was the ultimate team guy and busts his ass and plays the game right. Thats what matters. The stuff that one pitcher said a month into the season, which was later to be explained as a miscommunication, sticks with him the rest of his career????

Its all good, back on those teams Caffey was my favorite player ; My friends all laughed, but him and Kukoc were awesome
