Sweet

I swear you make the most hilarious spelling errors.

Welcome

Have a nice one clue

The huge sigs are definately annoying, but I dont mind the huge-ass sigs at all.

Great point and definately overlooked.

Speed is a must. Look at all the playoff teams and you'll see trend of great, speedy duos at the top: Yankees: Soriano, Jeter Twins: Stewart, Rivas Oakland: Ellis, Hattenburg Boston: Damon, Walker Braves: Furcal, Giles Cubs: Lofton, Grudzielanek (maybe not so much right there) Giants: Durham, Grissom Marlins: Pierre, Castillo

Ditto. I hate them about 100 times more than the Twins.

Personally, I dont think I can survive any more "Tub of Goo Episode XXIVVI" posts.

Jon has had pretty much identical numbers these last two seasons. Team G GS W L SV CG SHO IP H R ER HR BB K ERA WHIP BAA 2002 CHA 33 33 12 12 0 1 1 192.2 188 109 98 23 83 112 4.58 1.41 .258 2003 CHA 32 32 12 13 0 0 0 191.2 188 103 96 28 74 108 4.51 1.37 .260 However, I had alot more confidence in him this year. He has cut down on those "Judy" appearances and showed many flashes of brilliance. One problem that he needs to work on is giving up 2 out runs. It always seemed like he gave them up just when he was about to get out of a jam. This kid is only 23 and hes due for a breakout season.

If we could get someone like Javier Vazquez, I would gladly let Colon go. Getting Luis Castillo would also make a huge difference.

Bout time Jerry tried, but he certainly couldnt motivate those corpses out there.

Maybe because it was only last year Just playin with ya SF1

Congrats ELo

OK forget what I said about Minni being the hottest team.

Hes up to 101 pitches now but they've got to keep him in.

You make that sound like such an easy thing.

HE GAWN, 2 down.

I've always wanted to have Castillo but with a replenished Marlins team, I dont think hes going anywhere. I do like the possibility of Guzman though.

Some more smallball, I'm loving this 5-0

Three big guys would be more than enough (Lee, Maggs, Everett). I'm not proposing we get rid of them, I'm talking about Paulie and Frank.

Well are we agreed that we most likely arent going anywhere next year? It's basically gonna be an experiment year. Valentin, Olivo, Harris, and Miles are pretty much all we have. Its obvious that Frank, Paulie, and the same guys we've had to work with aren't going to bring us to the promised land with their 5 run homers. Instead of signing more free agents, why not see if these guys can fill in the hole for the future and start building from the ground up? With that said, maybe we can get a couple good prospects for Konerko/Frank.

Guys like Jose, Frank, Konerko have had years to show what they can do. They dont have chemistry at all and cant play smallball to save their asses. Instead of staying with this old, slow ballclub, why not give a chance to guys like Willie, Miles, Gload and see what they can do? We most likely arent going anywhere next season so why not start building for a real future?
