Well AZ still gets a solid starter, who should be above average in the NL with room to grow. A pretty darn good young reliever thats signed to a more then affordable deal, one of the better prospets in baseball (outfield wise), and another prospect. I would beileve it would have to be one of the Sox better pitching prospects. If it isn't Tracey or Bmac I'd be thrilled with this deal. Although the Sox would need to sign a 5starter to a one year stop gap type deal until Bmac is ready. Maybe even look Millwoods way and give him like a 2.5-3 mill base with like another 2-3 mill in incentives. If Mill earns the incentives than it will be more then worth it cause it means he pitched very good and with him as a 5th starter, I'd think the odds are great that the Sox would be winning, playing exciting ball and maybe going deep...which means higher attendance, etc. But JR would have to step up payroll if they made this deal. God I would be so so so so so Happy

Hey sir, are you a Jason Caffey fan or something?

I would deal Garland, Everett, and a midlevel guy for Vazquez and cash though. The Yanks can do what the hell they want from there. Otherwise, screw it, I'd have no interest. I'd rather offer a package of Garland, Marte, and a prospect for Hudson and lock him up long term.

I do find it out that Arizona would just pull the so called demands of a starting outfielder. This proposed deal seems too good to be true, imo.

Hopefully they'll announce a similar extension from Rowand some time this offseason. Although they may wait for him as well. I have a lot of faith in Juan so I think this is a fantastic move, but people are right, if he regresses it bites the Sox in the ass. I don't think he will though.

I would not give up Anderson or Sweeney or Bmac for Javier Vazquez. Depending on the cash being thrown the Sox way, i'd much rather have Matt Clement, imo. And know that the Sox starting 5 is complete. Also, at this point I wouldn't deal Konerko for Vazquez. I bet the Yanks would love Marte though.

Holy s***...DO IT, DO IT Do IT. I hope that other prospect isn't Bmac, but if its anyone but him I'd pull the trigger no hesitation to it. Also excited that they may look at Pyrz. I'd offer him like a year 2 deal worth 6-7 mill with an option worth 4-5. Or go 3 mill this year, 4 next year and 5 or 6 in the option year.

Ya, I know ManSoo has posted here plenty of times, but if your still online ManSoo, did you hear this directly or see it somewhere else?

Considering Lowe is going to still get 7-8 mill a year I'd go with Clement. I think in the end Clement gets 9/10; Perez 8-9; Lowe 7-8 The rest fall below that, but with those three the only legit guys remaining your going to see prices go through the roof on Perez and then when he goes Boras will lick his chops. Its probably best to overpay for Clement, especially since it appears he'd want to pitch here. Cause otherwise you have no idea whats going to happen and what team guys prefer. This is assuming Clement really wants to stay in Chicago, but who knows, maybe that isn't the case. Also who knows if the Sox really have offered 3/30.

I wonder how true this offer is. I mean sources have been known to be wrong. I guess we'll find out tomorrow cause I'm figuring thats when Clement makes up his mind.

I wouldn't. Nazr is coming into his own, but it looks like Curry is too. At this point I like the way the Bulls are developing. Give them this season to gel and next year, with the right signing, they will be a playoff team.

Badass Evan. Good thing you got to see a good game. Maybe the Bulls should fly you to all of their games

Personally I could give two s***s if Frank is back after this year. If he plays lousy this season in his rebound year then I figure the Sox will do what they can to move him. In this day and age with high salaries its nearly impossible to keep a guy around his entire career, unless he plays at a high level throughout it. We'll see what Thomas does this year. But regardless it would be awesome to have him in a Sox uni his entire career, but at the same time, whatever makes the team better I support.

Sadly they do. But I don't see why not. The guy plays fantastic defense, is fast as hell, has good power, and draws walks. At worse he's going to be Mike Cameron. Best case he'll be a higher average Mike Cameron

Agreed.

Interesting. While I think Clement is a 7mill a year pitcher, this still is a good move for the Sox cause they do need another starter and another starter will really help them. Plus Clement gets strikeouts, is a groundball pitcher, and limits hits. He should have a little more upside, but we shall see. I do fear something happening to his arm. Had he not worn out over the end of the season he'd of gotten even more. Still, I tend to think the Angels are offering 3/27 and not 3/30. If it is in fact 3yr 30 mill then I think the Sox offseason would be over. I also like the idea of Perez at 3yr 22 but who knows if he gets that. There are two legit pitchers left on the market...Perez and Clement. The Dodgers, Angels, Indians, Blue Jays, and Red Sox are all interested in Clement along with the Sox. When Clement goes off the market (to whatever team) then it means all these teams or at least most shift there focus to Perez and his contract will go up as well. I thought if the Sox were going to Perez they would of had to of done it quickly and before Clement is off the market, but in the end I think both will get between 8-10 mill at this point. Someone will overpay for Perez simply because once Clement is off the market, he is by far the best pitcher available via free agency, imo. Millwood is worth it for a team wanting a one year deal, but he's not near as good at this point, while Milton is already asking 7 mill and is garbage compared to Perez.

Actually his defense and shock blocking has improved lately. But your right on rebounding. He seemed to really be playing with some fire in the 3rd quarter though.

3yr 27 mill would get Clement, imo. I think you could potentially get him with a 3 yr 24-25 mill deal soley cause he stays in Chicago. And of course 4yr 8 per season would do it, imo. Sounds like something is giong to happen quickly with him. I think we'll know tomorrow where he's going or at least leaning.

Sox have 10 mill right now available. That should be enough to get the two of them or at least pretty darn close.

They played another good game. Curry had a fantastic 3rd quarter. Looks like he's really gaining confidence, but didn't even play in the 4th quarter because the 2nd unit did so well. Skiles was ejected in the 1st half. Bulls looked really good though. Nocionni had a few steals and tons of hustle. Chandler did his thing, Gordon was good, Hinrich made some big shots. Great win The Bulls are really playing like a decent team as of late. They've had some tough losses but I'm finally thinking they are getting close. They could go back and prove me wrong, but they are actually playing decent against the Western Conference as well. I'm starting to think the team should stand pat on Chandler/Curry.

They could finish 4th if there entire rotation and lineup gets hurt, lol. But seriously RJ puts them over the top. But I think Perez and Pyrz give them a very very good team too.

See, this is his 3rd or 4th interview, if it were his first interview, then talking about his daughters Double D's would be wrong. Just wait till he gets a few more interviews under his belt.....

Here's the plan, you try, I jump in an rescue them and get them to buy the Sox. We take over the day to day operations of the team But Ashlee is HOTTTTT

I'm assuming he's refereeing to Jessica Simpson in the double d reference. But what kind of dad would say that. Just say I have two beautiful daughters who are talented or something.
