I've been considering that. Was trying to think of something that could go between All Star and MVP or MVP and Hall of Famer.

Yep, I made it so they were bigger gaps, so it would last longer. I had to figure out some way to be creative. Also, some of the smilies are back, I got to find a couple of the other ones on my computer still.

Almonte is a AAAer but some thing he may just make the bullpen out of spring training, especially if the Sox go with an 11 man staff, and keep Ritchie and Rauch as their starters. If they pick up another starter, he'll likely start off in AAA. His best pitch is a changeup and many compare him to Keith Foulke. He's put up unbelievable numbers in the minors at both AA and AAA. What you have to remember is, the Sox AAA park (Where the Knights Play) is a hitters paradise and he's still put up really good numbers.

Well, the metal smilies are these rock smilies, they aren't like typical smilies. I have done a lot of customizing today, getting all the settings and stuff back. We have about 5 or 6 of them that will be added.

Over the next couple days I'll be adding to this list, but I want to inform all the users of some of the new featuers of this board. 1. Private messaging works again. 2. I've created a brand new ranking system. - 0-30 (Rookie Leaguer) - 30-100 (A Ball) - 100-200 (AA Ball) - 200-250 (AAA Ball) - 250-500 (Setpember Call Up) - 500-1000 (Starter) - 1000-1500 (All Star) - 1500-2000 (MVP) - 2000-up (Hall of Famer) 3. New Look, Feel, Etc. - Different ways of adding tags. The thing you have to remember to do, is hit the close all tags button if your doing bold, underline, font, size, or color. Open all the tags, then type in what you need, then hit close all tags. - Different way of quoting. From now on, just hit the quote button and do all the typing in the top box, that says enter the post. The quote is in a seperate area, so people no longer have to worry about moving the quote around, etc. If you do want to quote, just something seperate, hit the quote button in the post area. - Different Stats area. On the bottom of the main page, you can look at a whole lot of posters, stats, etc. 4. Posters can still upload and all that stuff. I got that feature turned back on. I also dropped the time, so you no longer have to worry about posts in a certain time period or whatever was on. 5. The Calendar -The Calendar will show peoples birthdays, and other events, or special days. It still has some things that need to get added, but if you go to your profile and enter your birthday, then you'll be listed on the calendar. 6. New Smilies -Most of the old time favorites are back, but I still have a couple more to find. For those of you who want to use the puke one, hit show all(Next to the smilies) and then go to it because it can be found their. Coming Soon -New Chat Room -New Color Scheme -New Smilies (Some more Still to Come) If anyone has any other suggestions, that weren't mentioned, here, please post them and I'll put them on my list and see what I can do.

I'm shooting to get those added on Monday.

I like Rowand a lot. Still, I don't know if he can be an everyday player. I like what he does defensively, and I really like how he moves runners over, can bunt, etc. The thing is, he's still got to work on his eye, and if he can do that, and continue to cut back on the strikeouts, I Think he'll become a solid player.

He was one of the guys we acquired during the trade deadline and I think we got him in the Kenny Lofton deal along with Felix Diaz, but don't quote me on that. He's a solid closer, but he's too old to be pitching at A ball. Still, don't count him out, but don't expect huge things from him either. He's got to get to better levels and continue to pitch well.

Also, when you see this, it means if you click it, it will take you to the posts in the thread that you haven't read yet.

Test

Old Roman, your all set up. Now I'm gonna see what I can do for ya, cw.

I'll work on both of ya.

I think Pablo Fransisco is pretty funny. I saw him do standup once and it was hillarious.

Bears don't need a de, imo. Its got to be Leftwich, then if they could deal Colvin for another first rounder, I'd go after someone like Mike Doss, and then in the 2nd maybe go with a reciever, if one of the better ones falls. Its too bad for Mcgahee. That was a horrible injury. I hope it doesn't ruin his great career, cause he was going to be a real special back.

I made some too. It was great to see the Packers go down like that. I know one thing, Vick probably won't stand much of a chance against the Eagles and if some how he gets past the Eagles, no way will he beat the Bucs or at least I don't think he can. Of course, never count against Vick and his legs, he can make some amazing plays. He still has to learn how to pass though. He's a solid qb, but nothing special yet, when it comes to his passing ability.

Lee had no future with us. The Sox have way too many young, talented arms, that a guy like Lee wouldn't stand a chance, especially when it comes to relievers where we have so many guys that rank ahead of Lee.

Stumm pitched pretty good this past season for the Sox. He has the potential to be a heck of a reliever. This will be a huge season for him, and he could of been claimed in the rule 5 draft, but no one claimed him. I don't know if he becomes a free agent next year or anything like that. I'm sure he'll be exposed again next year, so he's going to have to do big things. This is his 2nd year back from surgery so it will be a huge year for him. I'd expect him to start the season in A ball, although he could go straight to AA. Either way, if he's pitching real good, look for him to move through the lower levels fast.

Thanks for everyone who did this. I'll settle for 2nd and I know I would of done even better had Iowa not choked. I also should of updated my Miami pick to Ohio State as I changed my mind the day of the game and ended up putting money on OSU.

I liked Perry when he was here, but hey, It would really of pissed me off to see Perry and Manos platooning at 3rd while Crede would still be sitting in the minors.

He was expected to go to school. Typically many guys expected to go to college that would be first round picks slide quite a bit (Namely Stanford players) and eventually teams will take a shot at them. Typically their are a good number of players that are basically unsigneable.

Won't happen. The best thing you can do is go after someone like Jacque Jones.

Everyone will have to redo their avatars. Yours, I should have, but it probably wont' fit, so it will have to be resized again. The sigs, let me take a look at yours. It may of been deleted when the databases were being cleaned. Also, the colors will change a bit, and guests can't post here anymore. It was just something that we hadn't yet changed. Real cool though, and I want to here how Cuddyer hit, cause I'd like him on the Sox.

this looks GREAT. keep the color scheme, for now. you don't want to be copying from any other sites. in design you have the best. Their won't be any huge changes. The only changes will come in the graphic and I plan to intergrate a bit of silver and black, but hte main colors are going to stay the same. I also am going to work on some custom areas to go along with the message board and I have a new chat room built, just got to get a custom header for it.
