This was definately surprising.

Probably 410...it just cleared the cf fence.

Ya, I don't think they are going either. I was just looking through some rosters and I love speed and it definately fits what Ozzie wants to do.

JOBO dead center Its time for Borchard to get hot. I told Dan this on aim just prior to the homer.

I like Huff too...was a huge proponent of acquiring him this offseason back when he was supposedly on the block.

I'm in

Milton may pitch better next year, but this year he has not been good. He's gotten wins, but his numbers are :puke Does anyone think someone like Carl Crawford would be on the trade block? I'd love to pick up Crawford in a trade, Soriano in that deal, and then Jacque Jones via free agency. Talk about revamping an offense with speed. Don't ask me how the Sox would get Crawford though, but I'd love an OF of Jones/Crawford/Rowand with Lee getting dealt for a SP, the Sox signing a SP, and you have Uribe play ss with Willie coming off the bench or being dealt. Carl Crawford Alfonso Soriano Frank Thomas Paul Konerko Jacque Jones Aaron Rowand Juan Uribe Ben Davis Joe Crede You could change that lineup a few ways, but its got a boatload more speed with Crawford, Soriano, Jones, Rowand, Uribe all with good speed..some with great speed. Thats just a far out idea I came up with.

Plus the defensive plays he made yesterday.

I'd assume the organization thought it would help him.

*Pipe Dream*...get his ass in a White Sox uniform *End Pipe Dream*

I think thats what would happen and you would insert, most likely, a first baseman that would be a left handed hitter, that or the Sox would get a left handed hitting left fielder, which isn't impossible. Hell, pick up Jacque Jones and Soriano for Garland and FA money. Then in turn, deal Lee or Konerko for a starting pitcher (you could definately do that...hell, I bet Seattle would give up Pineiro if your willing to take the chance he comes back) and then you sign a FA pitcher. Think, Piniero is cheap, while the FA pitcher costs money. Salary goes up, but you get Maggs contract off the books, Koch's, etc. Add a bullpen arm or two and your good. Outfield Jones and Rowand, plus you could stick Soriano out there and keep Willie/Uribe in the middle infield or find another bat like Reggie Sanders (just a cheap veteran signing or you could have Gload play left all season) or what not.

Renteria??? Personally I'd rather see Cabrera. While Renteria is better offensively, I don't think he's a major upgrade (althoguh Cabrera is having a down year). However both are good defensively, Cabrera is a bit better, but most importantly if the BoSox let him walk (dont' ask me if they will) then I think he would be a good pickup, but I'd most like to see the Sox spend money on pitching. Its also obvious they need top of the order guys and I don't think Renteria is a 2 hitter, but I guess you could do it. Its just to me, he's gonna get 8 mill and his production doesn't warrant that. He can't be as good as he was in St. Louis, when he loses all that protection. He's good, but I don't know about 8 mill good.

I should add, Soriano isn't having his greatest yaer, but he's still .278/24/81. By the way he made 7.4 million this year.

Because Soriano's prodcution will be greater then Maggs production. He's also younger and plays a position that is damn near impossible to duplicate the production Alfonso can put up. He'll also be doing it for less than Maggs could. Essentially you even have the option of moving Willie into the OF, but I'm sure it means one of PK and Lee would be moved somewhere else. However, this move should still give them the money to add two more pitchers. Elo as the 5th (I know most won't like that) and a good pitcher in as well. However, you gotta know that someone else would be going to Texas and I'm assuming this is not a deal that would be made now, but in the offseason. I doubt Soriano passed through waivers.

No No No...Soriano and Uribe >>>>>>>> Jose and Uribe/Harris. Holy s*** would I be exstatic. I have no idea what else the Sox would have to give up though, cause it ain't gonna be Jon G for Soriano straight up, but he's a freaking STUD offensively.

Well basically his fastball went from 88-92 to 80. He said his arm was hurting and the Sox ended up basically thinking of it as a dead arm. They didn't see any damage on any tests or anything and he sat out a bit and tried to come back but has had absolutely no velocity. I don't got a problem with him going back to his old mechanics. I don't know if a minor change will add 8 MPH or not, but hopefully a hard working offseason on strengthening his arm and somehow restoring his confident (I'm sure this year is tough mentally).

OMFG, this is the funniest thing i've ever seen. I never have hated the Cubs in my life, but the more I see about this time, the more I just think their are whining babies.

Ya, I'm just proving others right (aka Dan and Heads) that I'm a retard

Reed was hitting I think .273 down with Tacoma so its not like he's been lighting things up. I'm starting to think the Sox may of been wise dealing him. However, I still like the fact that he does all the little things. I think all Sox fans appreciate those type of players considering the Sox have so few of them at the major league level.

Sweet, I just know I'm going to get sick of it, but I got like 6 wallpapers I want to use
