No...nothing is imminent...although a deal will be done by the end of the week..who it involves I dunno. Thats not saying it will be the White Sox for sure either.

Damn....in all the excitement, I forgot about Dan Wright....how the hell do you forget a guy like Dan Wright? Anyways, I'd have those two battle for a spot....and then whoever wins it out of ST is the #5 starter, and the other is a swing man. That way Diaz and all the other important ones stay in the minors. As for becoming a GM someday....what? You didn't ask me that? am i the only one who thinks that wright may be a little better than garland? Nope...I'm a huge Wright fan. I think they are two completely different pitchers, but Wright has the stuff and build to become a real ace. Most dont' talk about him, but I like him quite a bit. He was very impressive last year as well. Remember, he doesn't have near as much experience at the major league level as Garland.

Too much money...but I'd like to get him either way Not over Colon or Vazquez though...

Two years until he would become a free agent, so we'd have him this year, and then the next.

The thing is we would still have Rauch, Honel, Diaz, Wright, Garland, Buerhle, Heath Phillips, Ryan Wing, etc.

I'd add Brian West to the deal making it Malone, Stewart, Biddle, Paul, Liefer, and West. They'd get 4 starting pitchers. West and Malone aren't ready, while Stewart and Biddle could step in. Paul and Liefer could play immediately as well. The Sox woudl get Bergeron, Vazquez and Colon and have a rotation of Colon, Buerhle, Vazquez, Garland, Wright with Rauch starting the season off in AAA as a great backup plan and future ace.

One comment...I hope one day that bozo in the Sox office has all the rings that the bozo in the Bulls office has Seriously though...Williams ain't as horrible as everyone says and he's probably not as great as I make him out to be (Not that I say he's the best gm out there)

I think the Sox would be better off if Colon went on a hunger strike till he was traded. Lol...and if he eats any Hot Pockets...they better be Lean Pockets.

We're giving up too much, IMO. I'm higher on Malone than I am Stewart...but both are good pitchers. I'd say give them Stewart over Colon...and give them Liefer over Hummel too....otherwise, I'm fine with it. They get some offense as well as pitching, and we get what we want. If they want, we'll even throw in Jon Adkins! I like your thoughts. Take Malone out, insert Stewart. I'd give them Liefer, but I think they'd have to get Hummell or someone else with his value. Maybe even Malone, Stewart, Hummell, Sanders and Paul for Vazquez, Colon, and Peter Bergeron. I'd throw in Ginter as well.

If we gave them Jon Rauch, then i think they'd do it. I'd rather give them Danny Wright and pull Malone out of the deal.

Steinbrenner just doesn't give a s***. He's gonna do whatever he can to tell baseball and the Red Sox to go right to hell. If Colon ends up in New York, I'm going to laugh like hell, then after awhile, I'll get upset. You know Ian...knowing your laughing will be the only thing that keeps me from kicking Steinbrenners door down. Afterall, I will be in New York next week and I don't want to here any crap about the Yanks acquiring Colon or Vazquez. Yankmees, go to hell :fyou

George will raise the sweepstakes if he thinks the Red Sox are involved in getting anyone good. EPSTEIN SHUTUP, You don't want Colon (Using my jetiforce; Man do I sound like a f** for saying that) Now its all alone for the SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Now go and get Colon

You got me excited, but I'm assuming the station must of misread there info. Well..I still am stoked at the idea of getting Colon and you made me a lot more excited

Its not the Ritchie trade...Colon is a proven ace....

Back off, I got dibbs Aren't you the founder of the Damaso Marte fan club, or does the Marte in your screenname stand for something else?

How bout this deal. The Sox offer Corwin Malone, Brian West, Dave Sanders, Tim Hummell, Matt Ginter, and Josh Paul to the Expos for Vazquez/Colon. Do you guys think the Expos would consider that? I'd do it in a heartbeat, but would it be enough?

I Remember that. Was that the one he had like a one or two hitter? I just remember him dominating a couple of those games later in the season as he was developing. Thats the future in Garland as he develops. Of course, why not have an ace to go ahead of him and maybe even Buerhle, so once everything is set you have 3 really good pitchers entering the post season.

I'm not saying offer Garland for Vazquez.

I love your thinking Witesoxfan. I'd even add Brian West to the picture to sweeten the deal. I'd initially have Wright as the #5 with Rauch working out of the bullpen though.

YES

hasnt that been the bears MO since sid luckman retired???...just get someone , anyone for QB??? Remember Baggs...Porzio actually thinks Miller is an MVP qb. He just don't want us to get someone like Kordell that would have some real playmaking skills. I'll take Kordell over Miller any day of the week

Bucs over Eagles, but on a hunch, nothing more. Raiders defeat Titans with ease. They are on a mission. As far as the Bucs go, I don't like anything about the matchup for the Bucs. They will be in the freezing cold, playing against a team that has owned them recently in the playoffs. Did I mention Johnson has a terrible back and he's going up against a defense that levels qb's and won't stop blitzing. Oh ya...they are also playing on turf, that will be freezing cold concrete basically. You really think a bad back, in the cold, whacking into concrete is going to be good on Johnson...I don't. Yet, I will pick the Bucs. I want Gruden to line up on the opposite sideline as Al Davis for the superbowl. On a sidenote, is their a week off in between again this year? I sure hope there is.

He's at least played in the cold with sucess, cause it gets pretty cold at the Univeristy of Marshall. Right now I'm thinking sign Kordell, draft Ragone, Manning, Grossman, Boller in the 2nd round.

Curry played pretty good too, so did Fizer if I recall. Well they were whooping them the whole game. Then I turned it off and went to run, came back and read that they almost blew it.
