They all want long term deals before the lockout.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Rangers, Angels, Braves, Mets, etc Justin Smoak, Robb Quinlan, Troy Glaus, Ike Davis. I'll give you the Angels, though.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 10:01 AM) This thread is like cocaine. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:59 AM) He won't. I actually meant to type "stay in Cleveland" but I'm clearly all over the place. My mind cannot compute this madness.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) I would over-love his wife - 30 seconds and it would be over. "I'd tax Raquel Welch...I've a feeling she'd tax me."

2006 should include Rob Makowiak. The two-headed CF monster was brutal.

Yes but there's nothing like seeing Timo in the lineup, batting 3rd and playing 1st base to get you all warm and fuzzy.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 10:08 PM) Scott Podsednik gets no love? If anything, he's been over-loved.

The website started on 2002. 2002: Most of the starting staff 2003: Billy Koch 2004: Timo Perez 2005: Timo Perez 2006: Brian Anderson 2007: Take your pick 2008: Nick Swisher 2009: DeWayne Wise 2010: Mark Kotsay There's always got to be one guy. Year to year, who is yours?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:36 PM) I'm no Kotsay apologist, but boy does he take a lot of s*** around here... I think you guys have it out for players with hot wives... If he's not performing, shouldn't be starting - but is. He deserves criticism every time he fails. But really, it's not really Kotsay himself - it's Ozzie who most people are giving s*** to - he is just this year's reason.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:33 PM) But who's going to replace Kotsay in the clubhouse? Hire a clown or bring in a comedian. Same difference.

You know, I'd say at this point, that Buehrle is almost the worst Sox starter. Garcia's right there with him, though. Peavy, Danks and Floyd have been lights-out lately.

They could just have a fishing bounty. Every person with a fishing license from a state that borders a Great Lake gets paid $5 by the DNR of their state for every one that they catch and bring in. Then process them and donate the meat to homeless shelters and welfare families. I've heard that Asian Carp is pretty good tasting. If humans are good at anything in the environment, it's over-fishing.

Will James have a press conference area with caps on a table? Then, he can put one on during the conference, like when a high school kid commits to a college school.

I wonder... If I make all of my future thread titles in caps, will it make them look more important?

Danks1 is not likely to extend when he's a free agent. Hudson would be #5 then shift to #4, while a recently released Zambrano can compete with Freddy for the #5 in 2011. The last part being speculation of course.

Danks1 + Danks2 + Viciedo + Santos for Fielder - would you do it?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:35 PM) that #1 pick would likely be in the high 20's, not have a ton of value... How much value does Toronto get if Bosh just opts out?

Looks like a beagle-mix.

OkGo is selling their newest album for $1 online starting at midnight tonight, eastern time. keyword - SKYISFALLING 24hrs only! http://bit.ly/OKGoCD I wasn't happy with the style change this album, but they write good pop rock songs.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) Does anyone else here enjoy They Might Be Giants at all? Yes. FlaSoxxJim does too.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) I don't think there is anything wrong with saying "With the way this offense as a whole has performed, it might be time to bring in a hot bat." If it were me, I would have said "With the way this offense has sucked ass, Kenny needs to go get Prince Fielder." Fielder is on the short list of guys that I'd give up Hudson and Flowers to get.

Bosh for Deng and the 2011 #1 pick?

When two awesomes collide...

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) We should really just go after Ty Wiggington. He can play multiple positions and has just solid enough a bat to plug that haggard ass hole at DH. He keeps everyone fresh and he has been semi respectable at 3B this season (-2.7 UZR), he's hit 13 homers this year and has a .357 wOBA. He isn't expensive and should be pretty easily attained. He's been having back issues this year. Borderline DL candidate.
