Dunn is not a possibility. He is one of the toughest players in the majors to acquire. On our team it would take Magglio Ordonez to land Adam Dunn. I'm sure they'd do it for Buehrle as well, but otherwise, single player wise no one else would get us Dunn. Dunn is an amazing outfield prospect that has already shown what he can do in the majors and will only get better. He is already 2 times better then Carlos Lee and in the end, he will be one of the top 10 outfielders in the game (ACTIVE).

I agree. I think the DJ deal, Marte deal, Colon deal will all prove to be those type of deals.

Interesting. So basically Jim believes his best shot to make the majors is out of the bullpen? Jim if your reading this as always we wish you the best. I hope you can make it up and be one of those lefties that can stick in the league until their arm falls off.

I can criticize it all i want, look how it turned out Do you think the Sox lost the deal though? Their guy never pitched while Brian Simmons and Kevin Beirne left the Blue Jays organization and never did anything for them. I'd say it was a deal that didn't pan out for either team, but no one lost the trade. I'd make that trade everytime too.

Got busted by the Cops and ran for them. Not a wise move, luckily I was a minor and was faster then them Unfortunately my friends weren't, thank god they didn't rat me out. Otherwise, I can't touch your list. On a sidenote: We didn't do anything illegal other then light off some fireworks and we had quite a bit of them on us as well. When I was running at first, I didn't even know I was running from cops, I just figured it was some people who lived on the street complaining or something.

Some time in AAA woudn't hurt Stewart in my mind. I like him, but I think he's still a bit raw. I'm judging that on only one start though, so right now my opinion doesn't mean much. Gonna see him for a second time this weekend and we'll probably see him one more time after that. I like Wright a whole lot though and he will be in our rotation by the middle of May, if not on May 1st ,imo.

Fernandez and Quintero were the Dangelo Jimenez trade.

I'd say the only two players that we could realistically get and I would want would be Wynn or Stewart.

Well, we all know I'm a KW supporter but the one point left out is how we not only got Marte from the Pirates, but the great Ruddy Yan. Ruddy will be a stud. He's crushing the ball right now, not to say it will keep up, but with his speed he could make a huge impact in a few years at the top of the order for the Sox. Also, some of that stuff was wrong. I do agree the Ritchie trade hurt, but I believe everyone really puts a lot more into it then should. Fogg isn't that great, imo, Lowe sucked, and Kip did good last year, but at the time almost everyone (Not ME) was against Kip and wanted him out. Kip has struggled with his control this year. We know the trade sucked from the Sox perspective, but how much, we won't know for a few years. I think in that time we'll see Kip as a middle of the rotation guy and Fogg as a reliever, so it won't be anything terrible, imo. The reason that dealed killed the Sox was it left us with no depth ready to come up to the rotation so we had to go with Glover and Ritchie for so long.

Sweet, looking forward to tonights game. I like watching Clevelands pitcher pitch. I hope we beat him up though. That Rodriguez is gonna be good. I also don't think his taunting will get in our heads like it did the Royals.

Yep, I think that would be the best hire, well him or Wally Backman. The one reason I'd like Valentine is it would show the fans that the Sox aren't giving up as they would be bringing in a huge name with a lot of respect. Right now though, I just hope the Sox keep winning and keep improving on the little things.

I just remember people always telling me when I pitched that they always knew I was a lefty cause the hat would be a little off. I never noticed it, they said it was a lefty thing and lefties kind of naturally put it on a bit wrong. Probably all a bunch of bulls*** though. I just know being lefty kicks ass.

I always liked Hard Hittin Mark Whitten.

I like Bobby V quite a bit now that he's not in a Mets uniform. In regards to the hat, its a thing lefties do.

I saw that. I don't know what complaints they can have. Al Davis can kiss my butt.

Baggs, I couldn't figure out why Jimenez was benched. I think he's been on base 2 or 3 times in all of the past 4 games or so. I don't think he's cooled off one bit. I had no idea why he was out. I won't argue with JM on this, but I was really lost as to why Manos was actually playing. Maybe JM is trying to show Jose he has confidence in him against lefties.

Rex, is this a temporary thing or do they think of him more as a lefty reliever now?

I may sound optimistic, but I'm not even worried about that. I buy that his arm is 100% now and I'm gonna simply let him get healthy and wait to see him pitch. Although I think we'll all feel better after he is blowing White Sox opponents away for a month or so.

Don't know if you watched Mark, but White was nasty today. He has great stuff. I don't want this guy going anywhere. Him, Flash, Marte, Wunsch and Koch are all keepers in my opinion. We also all know that I like Glover a whole lot. Almonte is damn good and although he's getting old I think he's going to have to wait a bit, but he'll get his time and he'll be really good. His time isn't quite yet.

Your all set now Matt

Damn, sounds like Wright was sharp. I'm assuming he's going to make 3 more rehab starts or so.

Whats Stewarts contract and would the Jays want Stewart? I'd definately take Shannon and his speed and such over Caballo. Off the top of my head Shannon is still pretty young, very quick has some pop and can hit .300 or so and could fit in at the top of the lineup or in the back. He's a lefty or a switch hitter or is he a righty?

I stick to my theory, no way do I ever want to see Maggs in center unless it is because of an injury or something weird. He is not capable of covering the ground out there. Leave him in right or move him to left and let Borchard play right with someone else in center. On our team, Rios, Rowand, Harris and Borchard are the only guys I'll take in center. Real quick, I know everyone talks about Dunn, I think he struck out 166 times last year so its not like he isn't striking out and Borchard is. They both have a lot to work on. Were just giving Joey B more time in the minors to do it because our team is far more talented then the Reds.

Thats really cool. Gonna have to add that to it after I finish my homework.

Great question. Right now I don't see any changes being made. I don't think we see Borchard till June 1st. I believe the Sox want him to continue working on shortening the swing and the adjustments he's made down in the minors. Give him two months or so their to get comfortable and then you'll see him in Chicago; Thats if no one has won the centerfield job. I like the idea of having Harrs if the kid can play. That being said its only over a short period of time. Plus, does that mean we simply cut Paul?
