KC has the best shot at the divison, but they lack proven pitchers. Sully is good, but overworked and starting to wear. Appier isn't good, MacDougle was exposed late last year and won't be as good. They have a lot of young pithcers and aging vets. nothing really in the middle like a Buerhle, Marte, nonetheless they are still probably going to win the divison with offense like the 2000 White Sox.
Well, I'm not sure if you should call KC's picthing "unproven." Most of them are proven veterans who do get the job done. Sully has been a workload more than just this season if you check his stats. He's actually said that he prefers being out there every chance he gets. I bet if he was still on the sox, you wouldn't be saying anything about him.
As far as MacDougle goes, you have to take into consideration, that was his rookie season. He is still young, and he had control problems.(that's why his walk total was pretty high) Being "exposed" is when you've been in the league more than one season. That's like saying the league figured out Joe Crede's weakness in batting. I still don't think KC has the pitching we have (can't believe i acually said that) and their offense is still not as good as ours. (if Maggs is still here and if Konerko comes back to form.) Don't underestimate The Twinkies eigher. Minnesota is still very dangerous even after losing alot of their players. But we shall see. It's going to be a race to the finish.

The guy not only bet on baseball.... but he's lied to an entire nation for years now. If everyone doesnt see what a big pile of s*** he is... I wonder the intellegence of the average person.
I remember about a couple years ago, a cousin of mine, who travels ALOT in the U.S., actually kinda bumped into mr. rose. He asked fo his autograph and the guy just blew him off. I hate Rose as a person but I respect what the man has done as a player. He should be in the hall IMO. But he also said if he goes into the hall, he wants to go back to managing in baseball. Dunno if that's going to happen tho.

And What have we done? We can all talk about the Cubs, and how we dont think they will REPEAT winning the divison and getting to the NL Championship, but where do we get off talking like that. I only wish I could worry about the Sox not getting to the AL Championship again. I think we sould worry about are own problems first.
Agreed. I also believe we can win the series on the north and south side of chicago against the scrubs. And Tony82087, is that just your personal name or is that a name of one of my favorite players who just "left" the sox Tony G.?

I wouldn't mind hocking. I don't think we have a chance with Rogers, and I'd prefer Neil Cotts than Damian Moss. They both walk a ton of batters anyway. I think Cotts is special though. Has more upside IMO.

Oops not Contri, Pollitte.

Bruce Levineline is not a credible source. Williams likes to keep things quiet. Why would he tell Levineline whats going on so he can go on the radio and tell everyone? Levineline was so proud of himself that he was supposedly the first to report Jauron was canned, he let everybody know about it. He is a WGN wannabe.
Your right about KW. He does like to keep things quiet, but that still tells me he's not doing much as of now. Levine does get the job done as far as info. on matter how much u want to deny that. Even tho in not a big fan of his eigher. I just got this off of another site so we'll see if KW means by this "bottom feeding."
-
I was thinking the same thing. I can understand him pitching in his native land, but he has been a workload the past 2 seasons. As dominent as he is, the last thing the sox need is another billy koch injury.

Ah nice....the Shakira avatar.....
O yes, COLOR=green]She's my future wife[/color] What a hottie!!!

Bruce Levine is on Espn 1000. He is a very credible source.
He said that he talked to KW. KW said that there are no immediate negotiations going on right now, and that they are 4 million over budget, They might have to do some "bottom feeding." I got this from the sox main site.
Why does this not surprise me??

Koch will no doubt be given an opportunity to perform, but he will probably get his brains beaten in again and he will either be a mop up guy or on the DL for months. When Kenny makes a bad trade it certainly is a doozy. If we had Foulke instead of Koch we make the playoffs easy last year. Then Kenny had to sign him to a two year contract to boot. I don't think any team was serious about taking Koch. No one else is that stupid. Unbelievable. The year before it was the Todd Richie debacle, which took us out of contention in 2002. Before that it was Berry/Barry, which didn't hurt us, but it was embarassing. Then we give up seven great prospects for Everett, Alomar, Sullivan and Schoenweis. Please, Kenny, don't make any trades.
I go to Jerry Manuel on that one. If we could have had a manager like a Tony Pena, or Lou Pinella, who are motivaters and expect players to play 110%, I bet this team would have gone deep last year. Instead this team definitely UNDERachieved. I believe Ozzie can bring that spark to the sox this year. We can OVERachieve as well as far as the way they play this wonderful game.

lucky you

The problem was last year afta his fastball went, he started throwin nothin but curveballs and sliders and it cost him big time.
Your right but eariler in the season, he was just throwing fastballs which he got lite up for. Then when he got "injured", he tried to throw more offspeed but didn't work eigher. I still think he should mix his pitches better. Even before last year, he was usually a one or two pitch pitcher. If he developes a change-up like Gange, or cut his fasball in certain situations, I think he can be more dominant.

I also believe the cubs will win the division. Andy Pettitte, in my opinion, is so overated. This will be his 1st time pitching in the national league and the astros boards think he is better than Wood, Zambrano, and the same as Prior.
we'll see tho it should be a fun race especially if Clemens reconsiders (i believe he won't) retirement and goes to the stros. As for who had a good offseason, I agree with greasywheels, Phillies and Bosox had good offseasons. I also have to consider the yankee$ but the cubs did as well (they will have a great offseason if they sign Maddux and Pudge.) :fthecubs -
It took you ten months to figure out how to log on?
Anyways, welcome aboard from a fellow newbe.Dude, even tho it didn't take that long I am really lazy.
I didn't want to waste my time logging on cause it takes long to load. (Even tho I have a new comp. now). Thanks for the welcome. -
The Plumbers union that used to sponser the shower has stopped it's sponsorship, according to reports on WSI by a guy whos friend is part of the union. He said his friend told him that JR had raised the sponsorship price and the union decided not to continue. JR is too cheap to pay for it by himself, because it would cost him so much, about $3 a game.
JR :fyou
If that is true, then I would be pissed. I used to love cooling off in the shower especially in those hot summer times.

I think we would hav to move sum1 first, most likely Koch, bf we can get Urbina. He'll prob want at least $3 to 4 mill in my opinion.
That would be a great pickup. But I believe in koch. Even tho i don't think he'll top 100 mph again, I think 96-98 mph is sufficient. The problem with Koch is he needs to mix up his pitches better. He can't expect to throw fastballs every pitch. If he developed maybe a changup or threw his slider alittle more, he can be nasty.

St. Louis looks like a good home for him but i can't picture that will happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a scrub tho. Source says the cubs might work out a deal for him after january 1st if he's still a free agent.(which he still is) Dunno if that's true tho. That would be a HUGE media frenzy to see Maddux get his 300th win were his carear began. :fthecubs

I want to say thank you myself. I was on the google sprts page on the sox for a long time. Thank god i found this place around feb. 03. Too bad I didn't know how to log on.

I wouldn't mind talking Guillen off their hands but knowing our sox, we probably won't get him. Were stuck with valentin and harris. World Series here we come!
-
Amen to that. I wonder how many times i watched that movie? And i'm one of the few who believes this is Jon Garland's breakout year. I hope he can take it to the next level with Coop's help.

Jose probably has about a dozen girl friends down there. No one can play well at any level with that kind of load.
I bet he gets a TON of girls because of his pornish looking mustache.

Hi Everyone!!! Even know im new on this board i don't consider it. I've been a guest on this board since about Feb. 2003 so I know who is who pretty much. I know usually Rex Hudler post about Minor League Prospects but I just wanted to chat about my favorite one Jeremy Reed. I'm still gotta get use to the posting stuff but i hope i'll get it soon. So here it is http://www.theminorsfirst.com/tmf100/tmf100(2004).html by the way u guys rock!!!

Of course im going to pick the sox, but I also believe they CAN win it. I'll give the Tribe one more season before their young guys blossom. But it's still too early to tell. As we've already seen, teams are still making moves (KC=Juan gone) and hopefully, the sox can get some quality arms too. I'm still not convinced this is the team were going into the season. I expect KW to make a couple of pickups to solidify this team.
