If your KW of course

This is one of the rare times I agree with you SSI Maybe just konerko and wright (if that) for perez should do it. I don't think we have to move pacheco too.

Plus, Konerko has still not yet had a FULL season of consistancy. He's always hit well in the first half and not hit well in the second. (or vise versa) Frank as shown in the past that he can be consistant all year. That's a big difference for maybe a playoff/division run when one is struggling alot and one who is still decent in hitting the ball.

He can play first and Outfield... I like it

He struke out Arod twice on pitches out of the zone. Hitters here can chase the same pitches. Maybe not as often, but it can be done.

Nobody in here is giving up on this season. They are just visioning maggs gone from the sox and the fan base plumiting...

I just said he walked alot of batters in the minors, but he had alot of strikeouts as well. He is going to be a good pitcher. Just give him the chance.

Can you say "Chicago Riot on the Southside.."

That's the biggest thing. If maggs (or even frank) was traded, do you think the average sox fan would not like this because their favorite player is gone? They wouldn't even come to the games anymore (hell might not root for the sox eigher;)) let alone like the management. It'll be different if the sox maybe won the division, but that certain fan would still have that bad taste in their mouth from maggs/frank on a different team (let alone maybe facing him in the playoffs ) Even though I believe they should just deal with it, it is common.

He did throw strikes in the minors. When he came up to the bigs, they changed his style on pitching. That's why he was so screwed up mentally. Sure he did walk a lot of batters and the minors, but he had alot of strikeouts as well. He's going to be a hellofa pitcher one day.

If my memory serves me correctly, Maggs had 29 hrs. and 99 rbi's 1 shy of your 100 rbis u were talking about. He has been getting 100 rbis 30 hrs. years for I believe 4 or 5 straight seasons. Bulkier? Slower? and Older? How your talking, it sounds like your talking about Sammy Sosa in his early now late years. Maggs is only 30yrs. old comming into this season. He has above average speed and his arm is mediocre. He had been training with Arod to get him faster, stronger, and more endurance comming into the season that year. And you don't know what he'll do in the NL. If he was hitting NL pitching in the interleague play and All star games well, I'm sure he'll do fine in the NL. Sure I dunno about a bonds/helton like 1100 OPS/145 RBI season ( I don't think he'll get 145 rbi's anyway because of our lineup) but I'll take him anyday of the week on a fantasy team and as a teammate.

I bet, in all seriousness, that no move will occur, and we'll go into spring training with the same players that we have now.

Well maggs never got the chance to run with manuel. I believe with Ozzie's aggresive base running style, he'll get that oppurtunity. How can you say his defense has deteriorated? He had one of the best defesive years just last season. Yes, his name recoqnition has little value, but he is also a quiet player in on a team that doesn't get much recoqnition anyway..

Totally agree on the money basis wsf. But I would do anything it takes to get maggs to stay. Not that I'm saying overpay for the man, but give him decent amount of money. I would definitely give him 11 or 12 million to a man who has been one of the most consistant hitters in baseball. 10 million for 2 years isn't going to cut it. He wants a long term contract, but I think the sox offer (I think 48 million for 4 years) is fair. The contract he got was just a tad overpaid, but he earned that money as of right now. (we'll see what he does this year.)

I just don't like trading a man who gave his HOF career (IMO) to the sox. It sickens me... :puke
