I'd LOVE the idea of trading A.J. especially considering this is the highest his value will get from this career year, not to mention he probably will ever duplicate, but we don't have a Joe Mauer waiting in the wings. (as much as I love Flowers, he's no Joe Mauer) Unless KW finds something in the offseason or they really love Flowers enough to start full time, I just can't see us trading A.J.

Wow.. He is screwed. He's from Illinois too. Go figure.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:44 PM) I wouldn't take Sanchez for our 5th starter spot. He's simply not good. He pitched a no-hitter. He says f*** you dan.

I wouldn't mind sitting Williams either. He's going up against Champ Bailey and the Broncos rank second in receiving defense so it's a safe option, though Romo can explode in any week. I'd start Randel-El cause the Bucs suck in pass defense, though that also depends if Santana Moss steals all the glory. Ocho-Cinco... ohhhh yea. Sims-Walker is a hell of a sleeper though. Just my 2 cents of course and knight is more of the fantasy guru than I am.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) Ashamed to say this, but I'm the first to lose to the cpu. Damn turnovers. If you can pull the upset against Badger, all is forgiven.

Wow.. looks like quite a few of the Blue Jays players want Cito Gaston gone.

QUOTE (son of a rude @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Herm will be out of the organization before Wise is. His contribution to the clubhouse must be unbelievable. Well he does have alot of friends.. D.J. Carrasco said he's his best friend on the team and some of the guys said he is really a good teammate to be around.

Welcome to soxtalk! :cheers Though I disagree with your assessment, I'll admit your proposals (especially the first one) are not bad at all (or just terrible/don't make any sense for us as even some vets here do). I would drool if we ever got Cody Rasmus.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:51 AM) This isnt as bad as when those pictures surfaced of Jay Leno pouring oil down the sewer in the book "Celebrity home....at night" It's Houses man.. houses!! Nice reference though.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 09:30 PM) No, he is much more talented then Rios. I might compare him to Beltran actually. His upside is spectacular. Well I was trying to be nice.. haha but you win. Beltran is a nice comparison. I loved Beltran comming out as well and had some heated arguments over his potential when I was in love with him. I still love me some Cameron Maybin as well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Upton just hit for the cycle. He's a more talented Alex Rios, but a bigger tease. I still think he's going to explode any minute though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Exactly. It doesn't mean a lot, so give it out for emotional reasons. Might as well bring Pods and JD back next year, keep Bobby, trade for Cotts again, and tell Iguchi to come back to the states while were at it. I'm still pretty emotionally attached to those guys as well. I love Buehrle, I love Pauly, but 2005 is over. Hell I wish I was 18 again and graduating H.S. at that year.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) Love me some Buehrle, but Peavy is the hands down ace of this staff, and deserves the Opening Day start, IMO. Agreed 100% Kinda crazy going to Tiger boards and even some of their fans saying our rotation will be sick next year. Makes me giddy. Peavy-Buehrle-Floyd-Danks-Garcia/Hudson.. Daymn! Though I still gotta hope Floyd's hip (been a 2 year thing now) isn't as serious as some fear.

QUOTE (SoxFan101 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 05:17 PM) Im a Bears fan as well but this is the NFL thread, I encourage fans from all teams to post on it because it is nice to have outside opinion. Amen.

I'm a big fan of Leesman myself. In fact, I'm higher on him than most of the pitchers in the sox system now, not named Nathan Jones. (also not counting the H.S. kids just drafted)

If anyone cares, the Bulls first preseason game kicks off tonight. Good chance to take a look at the rooks and to see how much Rose and the others have improved, and hopefully see Deng look okay.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) Living in Michigan, I want nothing more than the Twins to win the division. I'm tired of listening to these f***s babble about the Tigers. I wanted the Twins to win it for a while now, but I can't imagine what your going through. Hopefully we can sweep or take 2/3 and the Twins can take care of their business. I just can't stand Detroit.

Hawks lose in OT.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 12:02 PM) And I thought Remenowsky SHOULD make it, but wouldn't. Age might have hurt him.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:51 AM) I wish I was in Rio right now. I'd so be getting laid. Nice.

RIO WON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Oct 2, 2009 -> 11:34 AM) But....I thought Obama would swoon them over with his charm?! I guess Chicago 2016 was change no one believed in. Having Daley around will not help anyone's case. Pains me to say that about a whitesox fan. But then again I hate Mike North so to each his own.

Well I wanted RIO to win it anyway so.... GO RIO!!! :headbang

In case anyone wanted to know (and a few people got one name right) Beckham was one of them. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 1, 2009 -> 11:21 PM) I drafted the DT in my trade, but things are kinda messed up in my case because there is no way I would draft a OLB in the first round. I definitely would have went QB,DT,WR,OT,CB, or MLB. From an outsider looking in, I'd say you both should be the only ones able to trade or everyone should trade and the both of you can trade one more extra, whatever the limit is (everyone-1; you both-2 or everyone-2; you both-3, whatever) to make it fair. Then again, I have no idea whats going on, so now I will crawl into my corner again..
