YES!!! THE BIG SIGNING!!! This guy sounds like he can take over as closer. I'm actually surprised we signed someone like that so cheap. Way to go KW. I just hope the guy can communicate and make some friends out of the clubhouse, hell even teach our sox players a bit of japanese or two

Well this is the cubs They have been known to offer some horrible contracts (ex Hundley, Sosa, Alou etc..)

I believe that was posted already. But Rowand will finally get his chance. I'm excited about that. Hopefully he will step it up and have a good season.

God I hate sosa. he's such a selfish human being. I remember his comment he wants to hit 700 hrs. and be a baseball god. Pathetic.. :sosasucks

I was going to say the same thing JoshPR. 9 million is just about right for Beltran. He's a switch hitter, plays great D, potential 40/40 man, hits .300 draws some walks, 100 Runs 100 RBI man. Come on. And just like josh stated, I'd rather take this stud then spend 14 mil. a year on maggs who basically puts up the same #'s, if not less.

Yea I cant get it eigher

Damn the cell is a beautiful park. I'd rate it up thereas one of the top 10 prettiest fields around. Those pics make it seem were adding alittle more "decoration." Put that field next to the other s***ty fields out there, the other fields could be used as a public bathroom. (ex:scrubs)

Definitely Reed at 1. I don't know about Borchard at 2. Is he still considered a prospect? Honel and probably Cotts should be high on that list as well.

OUCH!

I understand what you mean. Too much hype can put a TON of pressure on a kid who is just comming on his own/zone. (by the way I love on emphasis on farting ) I don't think reed is 2 years away. I think just this year (if that) but we will definitely see him in 05.

That statement reminded me of something, I remember the last game when da bears were at KC, Rex Grossman injured his thumb or hand or something like that. It was found out that a ligament (or two) was torn. And they said the physician would find out if he needed surgery. Did rex get surgery on that hand (or thumb) or is he healing it naturally?

Hey, if it's concerning Reed, whether injury, big hit, etc.. I'll always remember

Thats true, and I've even seen Gammons luck out on some trades that DID happen. But they probably found out 100% from a source telling them it was already done or something.

Ok that's different

I think that tidbit was already posted by someone. (DBAHO)

Yea, i'm surprised they are not related in some way. BS must run in their blood.

Well Magglio is a very quiet player. i don't really think he minds at all whether he stays with the sox, or goes to the sox. the only thing he knows he will do is whatever uni he puts on, he knows he's going to get the job done, as far as playing hard, and be a professional, like he always is, in baseball.

I totally agree. That's what soxtalk is for. To have different views on any subject. I don't even want to hear "cubs" on any convo. discussing the "sox team"

WOW! Ozzie the big 4-0 huh?! Happy Birthday Ozzie Give us a winning attitude this season. Go Sox!

No way. Cotts knows how to handle the yaks better!

God I hope thats not the trade. I would not like the deal.

Damn someone's happy!
