I'm sick of power hitters, they have gotten us no where in the past two years. We need OBP guys. Guys that can hit opposite field. We need guys that can hit Jeff Weaver and Jake Westbrook (guys with losing records and ERAs over 5 that completely shut us down). We need to get rid of The only players I wouldn't deal are Kornerko, Buehrle, Jenks and Vazquez. I wouldn't miss anyone else.

DJ is probably just as p1ssed as the rest of us and doesn't even want to watch the Sox right now.

How about dogging Thome, Kornerko and Pierzynski? They all had a chance to tie the game. All they had to do is get a single off Joe Fing Borowski. This team, even though they tease us with wins, is still full of losers.

Maybe we pry away some of their talented OFs for Garland?

I think we have to offer up Crede for one of LAA's shortstops. Maybe a packaged deal that brings us Figgins and Avayar for Crede and some prospects or something. I'm sure it will be hard to pry Figgins away from there though.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Aug 6, 2007 -> 08:26 PM) I'm glad there's mention of Fields trying the OF, if Crede can come back healthy. It'd be one less position for us to be concerned about. Crede batted .216 after 47 games this year with 4HR. He has a career batting average of .259. And he's a Boras client. If he can show he's healthy (either this year or in spring training) then deal him. I don't think he's worth keeping around. Oh yeah, he's an injury risk too. Summary: 3B is still a concern with Crede around.

Detroit and Cleveland are both struggling and we have alot of games left againts DET, CLE and MIN. We just have to be more consistent. We looked good this weekend but looked like a high school team in the Yankees series. The Sox are just teases, it won't happen.

Question now is, who is going to replace Danks in the lineup?

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 04:40 PM) If you put him in the bullpen, he becomes MORE of an injury risk. An injured Contreras is more valuable to us than a healthy one.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 1, 2007 -> 10:07 PM) Williams has quite the offseason ahead of him, then. Every move he makes better work. He does have alot to do. Alot of holes to fill, not alot of trading chips and not much money to spend. I'm betting Garland or Vazquez will have to go.

Why would you think we could even trade contreras? He is absolute garbage now and everyone knows it. Put him on the DL and hope he regains his velocity next year. Make him earn his spot back in the rotation and if he doesn't then release him. I don't want to pay someone to lose unless theres a good over/under.

Greg Walker didn't like Macoviak because he made him look good.

Finally, the move that will change this franchise and get fans looking forward to the future.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 01:27 PM) This would be interesting. Seems that all former roiders must go through NYY. Cashman "We need Bonds in order to complete the All-Roids team."

Alright, just saw we might get Manny Delcarmen. I looked at his stats and I have changed my mind.

Imagine Thome, Pena and Fields all in the same lineup. That's alot of K's. I'd rather try to work something out and get a pitcher(s) and a SS from the Angels. They have alot to spare. I'd rather see Avayar and Sweeney than Pena and Uribe. Unless something else will happen for a SS.

Ozzie is sitting Fields, Pierzynski and Kornerko. 3 of our 5 good hitters (Thome and Macoviak being the others). Nice managing. Why even play the game?

The whitesox have such dumb hitters. This guy throws 75% of his pitches offspeed. Just hit the ball up the middle or to the opposite field. Stupid

I like him too. Ozzie screwed him by taking him out too soon in the Redsox game. Of course, he didn't help himself at all by walking a guy.

I wonder what M. Giles' problem is. He was quite the 2B for about 3-4 years and now he hits like a Whitesock.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 02:48 PM) It kind of looks like Owens will be in CF next year and will take over Pods spot as the speedy outfielder. I would rather have someone better out there, but would be fine with that (since Owens is cheap) as long as they sign a good SS and pick up some bullpen help somehow. I'm note to fond of the SS free agent market. I'm hoping someone will cough up a good SS that has a back log of them (Atlanta & LAA, to name a couple teams). LAA has Figgins, Avayar, Wood, Cabrera, Kendrick, Izturis and McPhereson all capable of playing 3B, SS or 2B. I'm sure someone will become available. Of course Avayar, Wood and Cabrera I think are actuals SSs.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 02:39 PM) I'd love to have Dye back. You could tell something was bothering him early on. I would like to sign a good CF too, but may be asking for too much with all of the holes. We would also need a SS and some bullpen help (I would put Richar in at 2B, Fields in LF, and Crede at 3rd). I would go with that too. I would LOVE to see Byrnes or Rowand in CF, in that order. But both will probably ask alot and neither are probably worth it.

I'm in the minority, but I like Pods. But I'm tired of broken players. This includes: Crede, Erstad and Thome. I'm also tired of underachievers (which is everyone right now), but more specifically: Uribe.

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Jul 27, 2007 -> 02:18 PM) (He no longer looks like a 3 legged dog out there to me) Would you be referring to Cody from Life Aquatic?

Throw him in the bullpen for the rest of the year and see if he can make a comeback next spring. I wouldn't deal him now while his stock is down. He's a guaranteed loss right now if he starts, plus we all want to see some youngsters pitch.
