Minor League Preview - Charlotte Knights By Jason Gage Written January 15th, 2003

Well...I know one thing..I'm gonna be giving KW some credit tonight when I write my commentary. I always believed we could get Colon and now I'm just so excited. I'm figuring everyone else is as well.

They can't be happy with this deal, considering they didn't get any top flight prospects. I know I'm real excited about this deal. I'll have a commentary written on it when I get home from work.

Sn Report: White Sox Acquire Colon By Jason Gage Written January 15th, 2003

Thats sweet if it is true. Writeup will be up in about 10 minutes on the main page.

I'm confused Too tired to figure things out. I just know 271 is a heck of a lot for a pitcher.

I want a Steinberg to be named later.

Thats why I'm going to sleep...got work early in the morning and that will also take my mind off of whats going on. I've done enough thinking and speculating for one month, let alone one day.

She definately can't sing. Stupid Stupid songs...just cause she's an Ozborne she gets all this fame. I mean we know people made an excuse for Brittney Spears because of the body, but I could care less about a name. Oh wait...I forgot they are both talented talented singers.

You guys will have about 10 days where I'm away from the board...I leave on Saturday, and I forget when I come back. I know I could use the break.

Here's an article I wrote on another page about Kordell... The Bears Answer at QB

Well I hope your happy with the deal, cause if your happy, then it means we gave up pretty much nothing, cause your about the toughest to please

Sn Report: Colon, Vazquez Talks Heat Up By Mario Scalise Written: January 15th, 2003

Well..I can give up West and Malone if needed, although I'd rather give up West and Stewart from the minors. Paul

Well..if any team could take on Tatis's salary it would be the Yanks, but does George really want to add more salary. In all honesty, I don't think the Yanks are involved, they are just throwing rumors out there to piss off the Red Sox and make sure he don't go there. George will drop out if its just the White Sox.

Please tell me that you're not just toying with my emotions. i wouldnt toy with someones emotions like that..... not when it comes to kw anyhow.........and jas i dont know about even being demoted.. not unless they bring up whats his face... he seems to be doing a good job down there anyhow.... i would like to see kw just gone... completely gone....... Well the guy that brought over from the Angels organization (Bob Fontaine?) is doing an awesome job. I here many say he was the guy who built the Angels farm system, which is one of the best in the majors as well.

Liefer, Paul, Jose Valentin....oh ya they need a prospect, so how about Jason Dellaero, we can tell them he's a stud closing prospect. Hey..you asked who I didn't want to see around

Well if we get Colon, why would we need the Yanks...oh wait, could it be for them to take on some sort of salary. Yanks get there left fielder in Lee (I thought they'd be happy with Matsui, Mondesi/White, and Williams, but some say they need a leftfielder), Expos take on a bit of salary, Sox get Colon, and Yanks/Expos get some other guys? I dunno...I'm tired and speculating

I definately think he's going to be demoted to his old position if this season is a flop. If this seasons a flop, I see JR cleaning house and going with a different philosphy where he actually spends a bit and brings in real quality baseball guys as manager and gm, and actually spends a bit on the team, cleaning up his image. Hey, I can wish!!!!!!!!

The flaw is Pettite makes just as much if not more then Colon. Of course I am worried that he weighs 271 lbs cause thats way overweight for a pitcher. It puts too much pressure on his back.

The only thing that would make sense to me is a deal that moves Vazquez to the Sox, Pettite to the Sox and Colon to the Yanks. The Expos cut salary...Yanks get Colon and have a guy thats a free agent at the end of the year, while the Sox get one guy who makes money (Yanks pay for part) and then a quality younger pitcher. Just throwing it out there. Plus, if we took on Pettite, it wouldn't cost near as much players wise.

Almost all GM's would be given a couple years to see what they could do. Also, every gm, if given the chance, will make many many terrible moves..the key is outweighing them by the bad ones. KW just doesn't have the payroll to cover up the bad ones, so he has to be basically perfect for the Sox to go far. They don't have the option to offer a ton of contracts, like so many other teams.

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.
