He had another game last night and is becoming a much better offensive player every game. Earlier in the week he had that 27 point game where he shot amazing from the charity stripe, and you can just see that he's gaining so much confidence in his moves. As his jump shot continues to develop, he will become a legit scoring threat. Afterall, he has extreme quickness to take it to the hole and as people start to respect his shot, it will make him so much better.

I'd be all for 2 veteran starters, especially considering that it would probably cost something like 750k a piece, which is only 1.5 mill. Even JR's cheap self can afford that. Of course, maybe he really is holding out for Colon and hey, it could turn into a real good thing cause Colon's value has continued to drop.

No problem. We'll have minor league coverage back up on Soxnet.net as the minor league season approaches. We started doing it late last year and it should only get better. I think we have a small writeup on him somewhere on the site, when we did our top 25 prospect list.

I think they'll end up getting Person or Valdes.

You have to think if the Browns go far with Holcombe, that they will try and move Tim Couch for a 1st or 2nd round pick. Its amazing how many backups have stepped in and played so well, and yet, with the Bears, they played so horrible. Giants will beat the Niners later.

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.
