Would the deal I proposed you, if we swap Marte for Krod work? Although I'm pretty reluctant to move Marte, cause he could turn into a closer and either way he's very valuable. And I'm pumped about Cordero, he's a big sleeper in my book. And Dreifort is no longer on the block...he's out there for anyone.

Well I just picked up the Expos closer...Chad Cordero, hehe.

Just saw them. My plan is for Erstad to be my backup 1st baseman, behind Adam Dunn. I think Erstad, in the 2 hole for that lineup will have a HUGE HUGE season. But I've been looking for 1st baseman, I just don't have anything I'd want to give up to get Thome.

Tom Hanks seems good to me. (Like a Forrest Gump Tom Hanks)

Oh wow Steve and I thought I had no relief I'm thinking I should just go back and hold you ransom for Koch or Thome. . Although you have a hell of an offense. I can't really part with any of my 3 main relievers, but maybe you'd be interested in Dreifort, who the Dodgers have been talking as a potential set up guy. He's supposedly healthy.

I dunno, let me look at my team. I'm pretty pathetic when it comes to relievers, so I can't really afford to deal any of them unless I get a reliever in return

Guerrier was the sole White Sox dealt in exchange for Damaso Marte and Ruddy Yan.

Stanford was due for a loss. They are really over-achieving, but I give them credit. They had a lot of injuries and while playing in a down conference this yearr, they still have been up for almost every game. Washington flat out clobbered them yesterday though. Its probably better now, then having to continue having the pressure on their backs. Wasn't it Umass that went damn near undefeated when they had Marcus Camby?

While I lean to Troupe, I say they go with Dansby and grab a pretty damn good linebacker. I could also see them grabbing Dunthea Robinson.

As long as you pick the Illini to win it all, I'm confident I can pull the upset

As the comssioner, I will jam this deal through

Hey, If you want to dump Thome, I'm willing to take him off your hands for say Billy Koch

Sweet stuff...I'm in Also pinning the post

I love the idea of getting Sanders, although I doubt he slides till the 7th. I'm not all that famliiar with the latter round picks, but the 1st two rounds seem very reasonable.

I don't relaly think the Bears have enough money to sign Ogunleye. Now if they lose out on Tait, then I say go for it and try to work a deal where you can get a 2nd rounder from Miami instead of giving up the 1st and a 3rd necessary. Sometimes teams are willing to negotiate, although I don't know if Wanny will be. Ogunleye looks like an absolute stud DE. Well worth it, imo.

This was a great read. It had me laughing at parts and just feeling good about Ozzie as our manager. That really had me going. I also liked how Coop mentioned were already doing things different, we went out to dinner once this year. I figured coaches went out to dinner all the damn time. I guess not under the JM era.

The Sox acquired him from the Reds for D'Angelo Jimenez. Then they moved him, Gary Glover and Tim Bittner to the Angels for Scott Schoenweiss and a minor league closer who we cut at the end of the year. Well, Dunn pitched I think it was two days ago and I read quite a few things saying how good he looked. He threw an inning and I think struck out two batters. But they say he may be competing for one of the final roster slots. He's got some serious gas (95-96) and the Angels management is excited about him. Hopefully Scho can kick some but

Since the draft is over, I'll close the thread.

Happy Bday Asshat Just take some pictures so you can visually remember something :headbang

Sorry Steve, Vladdy ain't for sale

Just ignore Heads..he's the resident Clones fan. Go Hawkeyes

I'll second that. It was a good, fun, draft.

Hey Andrew Welcome aboard. Always great having another Sox fan on board. Just trick your friend into believing that Ross Gload is Brian Daubach this season, since he'll likely be the man replacing him Anyway, good to have ya here

Also, I should add. They were 5 mill under the cap before signing their DT to the 6 year deal. Included in that is the 6 year tender offer they have already given to Tait. The Suntimes is now reporting that his cap hit this year will be 14 million. This means that at 6 mill they already have, that they would have to get another 8 mill under. After the signing they are probably 3 mill under, and this may not include the cap room set asdie for draft picks. If it doesn't, then they are basically out of caproom. If it does, then they have 9 million that can go to Tait, before even restructuring. I'd guess they could get this done without any major cuts, if the players are willing to restructure. Plus, if they can do it, after this year the Chiefs have him at an affordable salary.
