My god, thats millions, or am I doing the math wrong. From what that shows, mutiple 200k or so by 42 shares and wow.

I'd definately like Finley. I think he'll ask for too much money though. Are the Cards going to resign him? He'd definately be a great leader for the team. Hey, Buerhle wants to go to St. Louis, how bout we bring a little of St. Louis to him(Not that Finley was their long) By the way, welcome to the board.

You can't keep him only because you gave up a lot for him. You keep him because you have confidence in him and you think he can rebound. If the Sox don't feel that way, then cut him lose. You can't go around fearing the media will rip you apart for every move, cause hey, most gm's fail plenty of times.

I kind of think that this trade is going to turn into Ritchie for Wells. If Ritchie pitches like I think he can, it won't be too horrible. I hated the deal when it was made because I loved Kip, but I think Ritchie has some damn good stuff. Too bad stuff ain't everything.

Is anyone interested in picking up Shawn Estes? I think he's a decent pitcher, and I'd take him over Daal if he would be willing to sign for Daal like money.

Remember, Ortiz has done a lot more then Ritchie ever has.

I want Mcgahee and then Banks. We trade down in the first round, picking up an extra 2nd rounder or something. I would love picking up Ragone and Mcgahee somehow or Palmer and Mcgahee

What show are you talking about? I'm obviously out of the loop on this. I'm busy watching the Bears game, trying to see Peterson play.

He's a solid post-season pitcher. He's got good stuff and he'd be a real nice pickup.

So has Sean Burroughs, Hank Blalock and others. As long as they aren't playing everyday or have earned starting jobs, they are minor leaguers in my humble opinion.

Ortiz has very good stats and knows how to pitch. He'd be an excellent pickup in my opinion, as long as we could get him relatively cheap. I'd definately give them someone like Ginter and Lee. I want Caballo here though, I really see good things from him. Last season he went 14-10 with a 3.61 era Opponents hit .241 off of him and he went 214 innings. His career era is 4.01 with a 67-44 record. Shawn Estes is still out their too, although he's close to a deal with the Cubs, according to the score.

I guarantee Borchard, Rauch, Olivo, and Honel are in the top 25. Then others that should make it are Webster, Gonzalez, and Malone (Maybe, he had a down year, due to injury). Almonte could make it too, but I doubt it.

I don't think so, but I guarantee you see a lot of Sox on that list.

I'm with ya, way too expensive. I won't give up Rauch, no way. The guy is the only pitcher we have thats in the minors that is ready right now, at least starting wise. Plus, the guy is really good. To me he's ready to be our #5 starter, but I'll only accept him their off the bat if we bring in a real good #2.

I wouldn't doubt it. Therefor, I'd like picking Alomar back up. Is he a free agent again? I thought the Rocks had him one more year.

Thats why I love the idea of Chad Kreuter. The guy is solid at the plate, and is really good at calling a game. I hear him interviewed on the radio all the time and he's a great clubhouse leader and his team-mates love him.

I dont' want Damian Miller, too expensive for a veteran catcher. Still, if it didn't cost us a thing prospect wise, I'd consider it. Of course, with Miller, Manuel, will probably get too tempted and start him over Olivo, and I don't want to see that happening until Olivo shows he should be in AAA.

Peterson looked good in those couple carries. He showed a bit more life then any of our other backs and seems to actually have some vision and moves. He don't juke, unless he has too, and actually uses it to help him get to a hole, unlike James Allen or the Train who would juke when they had a freakin hole.

I think they accidentally clumped Ritchie into that pile. The Pirates have Kip to show for it, Fogg isn't anything.

I'm rooting for them to play well. I want Miller out of their, he's playing like crap. Still, I figure if the Bears lose out, they will get the 2nd pick in the draft which assures us of getting one of my guys.

So the Sox did offer him arbitration or they have till the 20th to offer him it? If they have to the 20th, how come they have that long?

I'd definately consider Carlos Lee for Russ Ortiz. Ortiz is a proven winner and a real good pitcher. Still, I really hate giving up Caballo, I like the way our offense is going to look next year with him and Caballo their. That way their is a lot less pressure on Crede, Olivo, Rowand, and Jimenez.

THe defense is looking like pure crap and Miller already has one pick. :metal

Personally, I think their is no reason the wild card winner shouldn't come from the central. The Twins and Sox should beat up on the other crappy teams, and if they can take care of other bad teams like Texas, Toronto, Baltimore, and Tampa, they should easily have a better record then the other teams, mainly the ones in the AL West.

Sssh....Don't jinx it Michelle...Remember lose Chicago lose
