I don't know how to merge posts. I know it can be done, but I don't want to screw anything up.

Thanks....well that isn't a horrible move if Giambi is going to play first or outfield for them, but if he isn't doing that then I dont' know why they made it.

I'll have to go check it out. I never have been a fan of Star Treck, but for some reason I see all the movies once, even though many of them bored me to death.

I'll say this, I was proud of the way they played. I still say they end up getting the 2nd or 3rd pick in the draft, but we'll see. I'm now starting to think Leftwich will be our guy.

So they aren't giving up Griffin? The A's gave up quite a bit for Durazo. Arnold's a pretty damn good prospect.

Whose Josh Hancock? This move don't make too much sense to me, cause I Didn't think Boston had much need for Giambi.

Interesting...Cerb..are you getting this via a radio station? If so, is it one I can listen to online? Thanks

To me the BoSox would be making a foolish move, but I do think Hillebrand is way over-rated. They are just taking on some heavy salary in Tatis. Still, the move makes some sense, cause they can pick up someone like Alfonzo to play 3rd.

Well, if he's 30 and hasn't proved anything I'll pass on him. I'd rather spend a minimum salary on someone like JB.

Lee definately has a ton to learn. By the way Donkey, I like the avatar. In that picture it looks like Kenny is sad about something, maybe the fact that he hasn't been able to get Colon or Ortiz yet.

I'm one of those people that doesn't worry too much what other teams are doing, unless its the Yanks or teams in our division. Cubs are making some interesting moves, this would be a stupid one if they give up Zambrono or Cruz.

Interesting, supposedly they have acquired Vazquez for Hillebrand and Fossum. Seems like a lot to give up though. I Think they are getting Tatis too though.

The A's are doing real good if they don't give up Griffin or Arnold cause those two are damn good prospects. This is a nice job by the Reds too, getting Felipe Lopez, although Elmer Dessens is a pretty good pitcher.

Welcome aboard Hawk Dj. I'm with ya, I love talking Sox baseball.

He's got a fair deal on the table, lets wait and see what happens. Its looking like Ortiz may be the backup plan, but I don't really know what the Giants would want that we have.

Is this the knuckleballer thats supposed to have a good fastball as well? I don't know much about the guy, but as long as he's cheap, I say go for it. Its always good to have backup plans.

420, I'll go through and fix it for you. I'll host it through Soxtalk's site. I'll probably get to it tonight.

Interesting....It doesn't seem like they are giving up that much for Javier Vazquez(The Marlins thats is), then again Penny is a pretty good prospect.

No, he doesn't deserve the credit yet, not until some of this so called deals are done.

My theory on a middle infielder is they need to be able to hit for avg, and just as importantly draw walks and not strike out too much. The key is having a guy with a great obp in the top of the order. You don't want your premier home-run hitter their or premier hitter(usually) because you want your rbi guys waiting to knock in your top of the order guys. They don't have to be great stealing threats, but it is nice, because then you can have a single, steal 2nd, and have a runner in scoring position for the middle of your lineup. To me Jimenez is just about the perfect leadoff hitter if he can continue to grow. Of course, I'd take Ichiro if we could get him.

Ya, it was basically a discussion on who deserves to get in. Here's one for everyone. Out of all the players not in the hall, who do you think most deserve to be in their? I know SI, already mentioned his list of some players that don't deserve to be in the hall that are in the hall, but What are everyone elses lists?

I don't think its very close to going down. Just my 2 cents. I think that offer may be on the table, but thats all it is. The Sox have probably had more discussions with the Giants for Russ Ortiz.
