The unknown can be accountable for atleast 8-10 wins, so lets say this deal gives us another 3 wins according to your mindset. Excellent three extra wins out of the starting rotation while losing Konerko and prospects on top of Garland. Its a horrible deal, open your eyes.

An extension on Randy's contract!? The guy's 41 years old. I'm not saying he can't pitch until hes 43-44, but how many more years does Randy have.

You don't trade a way a good portion of your 2005 ball club and beyond for a year with Randy Johnson. You just don't.

Jerome Williams has ace stuff. Can you say the 2005 version of Johan Santana.

I got shot down for suggesting Kenny going after him midseason.

thanks

I've been stuck on a mission called "Wrong side of the tracks." Anyone have any tips?

He just keeps on hitting.. As long as he doesn't get hurt, Papi can do his thing.

It's essentially the same deal that Curt Schilling signed, Pedro will be back with the Red Sox.

Yup.

Very true, which is why its excellent news that Omar Vizquel will be with the White Sox in that two hole next season. I love the move, I do, I just think the moneys a bit steep. Thats all.

Excellent news, although the four million dollars is a bit steep.

Oh please, don't get me started with zone rating and meaningless statistics like that. Orlando Cabrera and Omar Vizquel are different types of players. Orlando Cabrera is a gap machine, and someone who has 20 home run power in a park like US Cellular field. He is not an on base percentage guy. Omar Vizquel although declining is still an excellent two hole hitter who has all the intangibles down to a science. I'll say what I've said multiple times. For an extra two million dollars a year, if you have a chance to get a guy like Orlando Cabrera you go and get him. I want a team that is fielded for the park they play in. Orlando Cabrera fits that mold.

buying into Tim McCarvers and Joe Bucks s*** are we. Come on. Also, the three times this and double this is just an in post exaggeration, I apologize for not editing/clarifying. The fact of the matter is that Orlando Cabrera is a better player than Omar Vizquel and is worth an extra year and an extra couple million dollars.

I would be very happy with a rotation of Buehrle, Garcia, Contreras, Garland, Armas. Why Garland would be replaced by Armas is beyond me.

The offer you proposed is worse than the A-Rod deal.

Okay Einstien. Is there only a right and a wrong with you? Orlando Cabrera is a player made for certain parks, one of them being US Cellular Field. He is just as much of a leader as Vizquel is. All I am saying is this. If the White Sox are going to pay four million dollars for Vizquel, which I hope we can both agree on is overpaying, why not go the extra mile and lock up Cabrera for six over three. They have the Venezualan/Columbian connection, the guys a gap machine, and just as much of a leader as anyone in this league. EDITED for your satisfaction.

There's a 50/50 chance that the Expos will be in Washington next season. There are very few people in Washington who actually want a team consideirng there is no public hospital for the city and the plans have a stadium more important than the hospital.

I too have been a fan of him, and I too think he's Pavano in the making in terms of breaking out. Good minds think alike.

Okay, Mr. Boras. :rolly

As much as Lieber shut down the Red Sox this season, there's not a chance in hell I give him 8 million dollars for just that. He was a consistently average pitcher, not an ace worth eight million dollars. Thats ridiculous.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, I don't go within mile of Carlos Beltran, and even then I'd be conscious. 10 years, 18-20 million dollars per year? Is he f***ing nuts? :puke

In a thread midseason, I suggested acquiring Tony Armas Jr. I watched him briefly in the Red Sox minor league system and followed both his and Pavano's careers thoroughly following the Pedro Martinez trade. If he stays healthy, the kid can be an excellent pitcher.

Anytime your paying a 38 year old, 250 hitter four million dollars your overpaying. I think Kenny knows that, and could go the extra mile thinking, "If I can get Cabrera for 6, or Garciaparra for 7.." We'll just have to wait til the twelth and see.
