I have more then a feeling that Konerko will be gone by the time non-tenders come around and Gload won't be the starting first baseman, imo.

That doesn't seem like a bad idea, only thing is I don't know if Bmore would give up all that for Konerko.

Jesus...add Gordon and Vazquez for those two and I'd do it in a heartbeat. Crosby is a solid backup outfielder too, imo.

Well he's not the guy to lead us to greatness. But Kenny has brought in two very good role players. Two very good signings, imo. The key to this offseason will be what starter is added, but the two additions thus far are very good imo. With Gibbons and Cora as potential pickups around the non-tender period.

Yes, they will acquire a starting pitcher at the meetings. Or at least set the groundwork for a deal.

i'd be a fan of Cora. Solid defensively and can play both infield positions. Also a quality guy. If he gets non-tendered, he'd be a fantastic signing. Adding another quality role player just makes sense. Plus he's only getting better.

Thats horrible. Thoughts go out to their family.

If the Sox give up Konerko and Garland get Tracy and Vazquez fine by me. Obviously if Konerko is headed the Dbacks way then it would mean Tracey is available. Still, I just don't see that type of deal happening, although I'd be pleased if the Sox could get Vazquez while hanging onto Garland. I'm still hoping somehow they pull Hudson, but I just don't know if they could work out a 3 way with the Braves and A's. I think Garland is better then Suppan but I don't know how many others do. And then give up Anderson and its a similar package to what the Cards are giving up, imo with the Braves getting some of them and A's getting Giles and something. Then again you could also center the package around Konerko cause the Braves could drastically use a bat to replace JD Drew, but I don't know if they'd want that bat at first.

Geeze...Jeff Kent 2 yr 17 million. Am I the only one who thinks they drastically overpaid. Kents a solid ballplayer, but he's not an 8.5 mill a year guy anymore. Makes the Jermaine Dye move oh so much sweeter

As of this point yes, although he can close and will close on days where Shingo is tired.

Its no secret in my mind that the Sox are going to make a deal during the winter meetings or at the very least get the groundwork laid for a deal. Konerko has to be the guy going and I think in the end the Sox are stubborn in regards to giving up Garland, unless of course they have pencilled a darkhorse 5th starter candidate to replace Garland. Cause Grilli will not be the 5th starter.

Wow ,that makes me like Dye even more. Class act

God, I couldn't imagine, but I'd of flipped out. I'm a patient person, but when someone calls me a liar, thats it, I flip. Jesus, these morons learned nothing about business cause if they did they would of realized his lifetime value and considering his history with best buy they would of immediately replaced the item.

Absolutely stupid siging. I like Glaus, but he was worth nothing more then 8. He can't hit for any type of average and while capable defensively, he's prone to way too many lapses. Garbage move by the Dbacks, especially when you take his health into consideration.

I'm telling you, Pavano will be an Angel. He's due to meet with the Angels the day after the winter meetings.

Great stuff...thanks a lot striker

I'll definately be their

Seems like a deal that could make sense. Boy are teams stupid not to demand Marquis. Thats who I'd be asking for. I'd also be tempted to ask for Ankiel. Braves are making a good move from a financial standpoint and I realized they had Marquis, but I'd want him over Suppan.

I still don't think PK to the Dbacks make sense. Don't be so sure that the Yanks don't just keep Konerko. I know that hasn't been rumored, but why oh why would the Dbacks want to spend that much money at 1st and 3rd base. I wouldn't mind it to be true though cause I think Vazquez with the right amount of cash coming the Sox way could be a good deal. Especially if the Sox somehow keep a hold of Garland.

ESPN has been trying to confirm it and thus far no confirmation. This may not be a done deal yet.

Another rumor swirling is him going to St. Louis.

No a heart murmur is like a thing with the valve or something like that and when it closes shut it has a little bit of a flex. Don't really know how else to explain it, but somehow it can be bad. Some are more serious then others. I just run and stuff and figure to take care of my heart now just in case its a little weaker. I put a call into her and left a message. I'm in school so I got no signal in the library, but she is pretty sharp so I'm sure I'll have a message about it when I head out later tonight.

Great, I'm at school studying for finals and I'm missing a good f***ing bulls game.

Busted his hammate and was healthy at the end of the season. I remember a couple scouts talking about him back when I was in Kanny last season. King has a shot, but his progress has definately been hampered. Still as of now he'd be nothing but a sleeper prospect.
