QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) Cheat Jr, they let UofI go on something like a 10-0 run in the last two minutes. They choked hard. Cheat junior? Thank you for the compliment. Either way they played a hell of a game. If the illini lost this game would you consider it a choke job?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) UW = If you say so.

It's getting hawt it hurr...

51-49 bulls at the half.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 08:11 PM) The problem is it leaves us with NO LONG MAN! Not to mention Marte being the only lefty. Like I said no thanks. Plus too much mystery surrounding his poor mom. Say if we got urbina we can easily slide hermanson into long relief.

Augustine just ran the break and slammed it home.

QUOTE(WSFAN35 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 08:00 PM) Buddy Groom's not bad Agreed, he is horrible.

I-l-l.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 07:48 PM) I really don't think the Tigers would have a problem trading Urbina within the division. His contract is up after this year, right? I don't think that they really truly think they can win the division this year, plus they already have Percival. If they got some decent talent that filled a couple holes, why wouldn't they? They are a young team, and Urbina probably isn't in their future plans. Our pen would be amazing... Shingo Marte Urbina Hermansen Vizcaino Politte Only thing I don't like is only 1 lefty...But that is some f-ing pen. Vizcaino is just like a lefty. I don't think we would miss cotts that much. Then he could get the entie year in the minors to work on his pitches. Which does need improvement alot with control.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 06:54 PM) Kidnapperes have asked Urbina for $3M Three million? Not like he is a millionaire or anything.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 05:48 PM) Who is Ozuna? I;ve heard about him a lot lately. http://www.sports-wired.com/profiles/OZ/tbc628.asp

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 05:52 PM) He can play a little SS. His arm is shot. He will play short if everyone else goes down and that is about it.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 05:45 PM) Santo...because KC wouldn't give a rat's ass if they traded a backup IFer within the division. They will not compete this year, and trading Graffy within the division would not kill them long term. Regardless...I think this is pointless. There is NO reason to give up anything for another. We have invited Ozuna to ST, Iguchi can play SS(though not very well), and I'm sure even Harris could play SS in an emergency if we needed him to. Iguchi can't play short at all now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) Or maybe they'll be better then you think. Nah, i don't think so.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) It's not Mis Info. If you sign a 2 year deal your a free agent after the 2006 season. Sooooo Contreras contracts ends after the 2006 season as does Hermanson and Pollite. Frank too and Iguchi if the Option is not taken. AJ would be a free agent, his service time started in 2001 making him a 6yr man. Plus he was cut loose and his contract with us is only for a year and maybe an option. So he is too a free agent. The players i mentioned there contracts end after the 2006 season. Hermanson will not be a free agent after the 2006 season, he has an option

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 01:55 PM) After the Season not Before In his case yes, but they could pick it up today if they want.

Politte has an option next year which i am pretty sure they will pick up.

We added an extra twelve million or so to the payroll?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Something to consider, if the Nationals don't promise a starting job, no one will. The Nationals, supposedly the only team actively pursuing Larkin, have a solid infield with Castilla, Guzman, Vido, Wilkerson (1B? Johnson?). Larkin ain't going to get the starting job. If he wants to play bad enough, he's going to have to take whatever team offers him the most dough to play as a backup. He can wait for an injury, or maybe sign later in the season, but he ain't going to get a guarnteed starting job from ST. EDIT: Book it. He wants nothing less than 90 games. So i don't see him ever playing again. He will just retire i think. Not like his career was anything to be ashamed of.

QUOTE(raff @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 12:23 PM) there is no reason aaron rowand should be batting 6th. he is more proven than iguchi and is still pretty fast. i would even put him over dye. I would much rather giving rowand the rib oppurtunities anyway. That is where he is much better suited in my opinion.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) OK. I think the point that was made with Vasquez, is that he would be better than mediocre, which means he would be, on average, a better player than Garland, do you agree?? No, i see him having right around garland's era if he pitched here the entire era. Only difference is he makes alot more money than galrand does.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 12:45 PM) He be playing about 4-5 times a week 3-4 in the field and 1 as the DH to save him. You would start him in the field four times over uribe? Even three times? Why would you rather have him dh over everett or thomas? I see no gain offensively.

Letting larkin start two out of every five games is not gonna get larkin since he wants to start at least 90 games.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Jan 25, 2005 -> 12:09 PM) Show some names & numbers & I might be inclined to agree with you. But until you do I stil contend that Pods, Iggy, Rowand, Uribe, Dye, & Everett are faster that any other group of 6 expected starters on any other team. Cheat already mentioned them in another thread but gathright, baldelli, crawford, lugo, cruz, alomar/huff. What numbers do you want? Those six are faster than the six you mentioned. Also dye and everett you are overating speed wise. Dye has slowed down significantly and everett is eh. Just waiting for some stat you can twist to make your point.
