Ludicrous, Big Tymers, they are all so talented. I just made my 4th edition of my rap cd and you can't have a rap cd without those two in it, imo.

Never....King of the Hill Rules!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I can't wait to get Family Guy DVD :metal

We may just end up with Daal, just a hunch though. I also think we sign a back up outfielder. It isn't like Palmerio is going to break the bank.

Well, I don't really think KW controls every call going on. Their is a reason you have a manager. Late in the season I think someone told Manuel to keep guys in a bit longer, but for all I know and suspect, that was coming from pitching coach Don Cooper. KW did tell Manuel one thing and that was to make sure he played the younger players and I have no problem with that. The year before Jerry sat their and didn't play guys like Crede enough and to me it was a bad thing. This past year we gave those younger guys the shot and played them extensively. Also, no way is Borchard ready this year. A full season in AAA (Yes, another one) should be real good for him. He has way too long of a swing and they got some work to do with him before he's ready. He himself admits it. As far as Liefer goes, he's nothing special. Clee is a changed player. Everyone still remembers him for his terrible defense, but last season he wasn't bad at all. He played much better and he's continuosly worked his butt off. The guy now walks (He was one of the few players in the majors with more walks then strikeouts) and he will have a very very good season, as a matter of fact, he may be better then Konerko by the end of this season.

Parque wasn't too bad other then the fact he thought he threw 100mph. After his injury he was bad, but before it he was a pretty solid pitcher, nothing great, but far from bad.

If I remember right Borchard has been improving towards the end, but still he hasn't exactly been great.

Thats a pretty accurate read. He's not a guy to get real excited for, but he has put up some pretty damn good numbers and those may just get him a shot alone, and then you find out if he is the next talented soft tosser like Moyer or Glavine.

Thats the one where Peter forms his own country right? Family Guy ranks up their as one of the greatest comedy tv shows ever. Right their with my personal Favorite King of the Hill (In its current form) and Simpsons (When it was in its prime)

And even after he comes back you still don't know if he'll ever be the same and odds are it will take him till at least two seasons from now to be back to his old self. You don't just magically come back an ace. I'd sign him as a good investment if it were a cheap multi year deal.

I will and always will promise a couple things to all our members. I'm going take a step up on my soap box here. I don't know what Soxheads did at WSI, but I do know many of you don't like him. Still, things will not be changing just because he's here. He's going to be helping us out, but the boards won't be changing or anything like that. You will always be able to speak your mind here, and I mean always.....You will also never ever have to worry about popups because they suck. The main site and message board will be ran in the same way. Still, the main site will have some new features, thanks to Soxheads, one of which looks to be this palm schedule. IF people want to get stuff off their chest on this subject, I say go for it, lets not be harsh or anything, but get what you want off your mind and tell Soxheads what you don't like about him or do like about him, and get things clear in the air. Who know is this idea will blowup in my face, but what the hell. If you all are curious as to what he's doing for the site, he'll be helping with some programming on the main page. Hopefully everyone can make their opinion on Soxheads for what he does here and now, and not what happened in the past cause well, I don't know what happened in the past, but we all make mistakes.

I know, thats why Fizer and Erob would probably be the main guys going.

Oh sweet, so after you did that stuff it ended up working? Its great to have ya back!!!!!!!

As of right now we are looking to be somewhere around 45 -46 million.

Ya, thats what I meant.

Ritchie is far from great, he's also far from what he was last year, which was terrible. He definately isn't a number two or even a number 3 pitcher though.

Lol...I do think that right now Frank is just getting his state of mind back and he's working to get into great shape. He'll be ready by the start of the season looking to play. I also don't see him walking, at worse case, the Sox will give him more money. JR and Thomas have a great relationship and it will allow the Sox to keep him as long as he's productive.

Pettite would get the Yanks nothing in return (Look at Millwood after all) but the Yanks would also have to pick up about half of his salary. I think the most viable bet would be them giving up El Duque for nothing. I think he's a bit more affordable, and at a cheaper price they could at least dump him. THey won't find any takers for Pettite or Hithcock unless they pay most of the salary.

Jon became a much better pitcher when he stopped overthrowing in the middle of last season. His ball started having much better movement and he had better control. WHen he throws real hard his pitch straightens out and he gets drilled. Hopefully Cooper continues to do good work on him and the young kid continues his development. I really like our young arms and we have more of them coming, just not this year, minus Rauch and maybe Diaz.

He will be their as long as we don't sign another pitcher or Ritchie. Still, this is a risky rotation with Buerhle, Garland, Wright, Biddle and Rauch. This type of rotation could put a ton of pressure on the bullpen and offense. Then again if Wright and Garland grow, Biddle proves he's pretty good after the injury and Rauch pitches like many think he can and this is one of the better rotations in the majors. Odds are it falls somewhere in between.

Ya, I think Schueler basically handed him those duties and KW was pretty much responsible for the draft or at least I think I Remember reading that somewhere.

Fontaine Jr. is who I'd hire. Thats the guy who left the angels and built their entire farm system. Bill Bavasi (Angels former gm) gave him all the credit when it came to those things. He's also done a great job since coming here.

I'd only take him for like nothing. I don't want to see the Bulls give up Fizer.

The Ritchie trade didn't hurt us like everyone says it did. Fogg is nothing...mark my words on this and Kip was hated by all. Everyone can say it wasn't a great deal, but 90% of the people supported that deal. I know Baggs didn't, and I was the only other one out their against it or at least not many were against it. Most people were ranting and raving how we finally had a #2 pitcher. Also, Kip wouldn't of produced with us. Nardi screwed him up and he was rushed to the big leagues because he had a good call up. If he had struggled he would of held back and probably made it with the White Sox as he would of had more time in the minors. Also, Lowe isn't anywhere and Ritchie is a much better pitcher then the guy who was here last year. In the end it will be a mid reliever/5 starter on a crappy team and Kip for Ritchie, who will be a #4 or #5.

You can't run a farm system by themselves. The Sox have one of the best guys in the majors when it comes to developing systems. I forget his name, but he came from the Angels and developed their system.

was it???...dont you have to wait and see if diaz has a successful career..what happens if he never makes it??? And what was Lofton doing for the Sox? If you aren't going to use a guy you get something of value in return for him. It also opened up the slot for Rowand to play everyday as well as Borchard to get some time.
