QUOTE(frahungski @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) yeah, it'd be nice, but there's no way we acquire castillo. i doubt they gouge the bullpen to pick this guy up, even if ozzie is in love with him. also, i don't see delgado playing for a team like the marlins, he just doesn't seem to fit the bill. You are acting like ' this guy'' is pokey reese.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 08:52 PM) Borchard = most overpaid player on the Sox What a useless signing He is no longer getting paid i believe. So his signing no longer affects us.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:05 PM) Pierzynski is too slow to be a #2 hitter, and he also GIDP's. He'll be down at #6 or #7 in the lineup most likely. He does not hit into many double plays when he is not batting behind bonds.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) I dissagree, I think Davis is better defensively and has a better arm. Pierz calls a better came, can hold onto the ball better, and can block balls in the dirt as good as anyone in the league. I could give a s*** about his arm basically. Davis's arm is incredibly better for it to matter.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) I agree, but batting lower in the lineup plus being pulled in the late innings for defense purposes he will not get 80-90 RBI's. If he gets 75 I would be thrilled. 70 is more like it. He is the best catcher on the team both offensively and defensively. I cannot see him getting pulled much at all for defensive reasons.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) anyone agree that A. J. will get 15-18 home runs and 80-90 rbi's? Here it is very possible. I think he will hit closer to 15 than 18.

Bruce is an imbecile. Just felt like saying that.

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) bruuuuceeeeeeeeee will be live from soxfest He should break the news at about 9:55 that rowand has signed a deal.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 06:55 PM) Hell yeah Daisuke Matsuzaka is exactly who the Sox should be targeting next season. This kid looks to be very special. Unfortunately I think the Sox will have to battle a lot of other teams for this import.... I agree, he will definitely be outbid by the mariners, mets, red sox, yankees, etc.

Like i said in another thread, paparazzi was damn good. I recommend it

QUOTE(shakes @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) Check out Employee of the Month. It's an Indy film with Matt Dillon, Steve Zhan, and Christina Applegete. Steve Zhan has some classic lines in this movie. Yes, i thought it was pretty good. They only had one or two at my blockbuster.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) As for the star moniker, what evidence is there that this is going to happen? I just don't see him as a guy that can hit any better than he did a year ago. Not enough pop in his bat to do much better. I see him hitting for the same amount of power numbers if not more. I just think his average will be in the .280-.295 range.

QUOTE(Mr. Zero @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:49 PM) One name. Daisuke Matsuzaka. Not only would his last name look completely badass on a Sox jersey, he would be an absolute stud. My thinking is that having 2 Japanese players to relate to would help him come here unless the Yanks or Mariners or Dodgers are hellbent on signing him. I can't wait to see the numbers he puts up when he gets here. Like you said, gonnabe a stud.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) Yanks and Red Sox were interested in Iguchi It may just be the Sox are actually going after him harder than other teams. SB Everything else i have read is the the yankees and red sox stopped talking to him late november early december.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:39 PM) Don't know what the hard on for this guy is. Who else wants him? If he's sooo good? I 'm the Yanks need a second baseman and haven't even been Mentioned to e after him They signed womack.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) Didn't overpay, for a old hack who might be good...Rowand is going to be a stud. and we have him inked for 2-3 years..just long enough for him to become a star and then leave cause we underbid him.. He cannot leaver once the deal is up. He will not be a free agent yet.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 03:02 PM) Even if the Sox dont sign Iguchi nobody has a reason to be upset at KW this has been a great offseason so far.. You would think peopel would be happy but there are always a few not satisfied.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) I saw paparazzi at the show and that it was a very good movie that didn't get a lot of recognition. There was i am gonna say fourty to fifty in at blockbuster and maybe five taken out. Then there was over eighty of the village and fifty or so of without a paddle, they were all out. I am willing to bet i like paparazzi better than both of those two. Still picking the other two up tonight. I love the movie pass.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) This by far is KW best signing this offseason. Why? In reality he would have made just about the same in arbitration in the next two years.

Just saw paparazzi last night and it was very good. More a suspense type movie though

QUOTE(Tadashingo Igatsu @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:46 PM) Please be true so I can use this username . Welcome to soxtalk.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:34 PM) Maybe it's just me but I don't like threads that start out with I read such and such on a message board... I do not read wsi but they are fans just like us. So it does not really bother me at all.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) Rowans is going to have a huge year..Burke is back with the sox as well How is this?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) That was Orlando's thinking in trading Mobley for Doug Christie. He is no longer the same defensive player he was two or three years ago. Still good, but not top notch like he use to be.
