QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:41 AM) 1)Someone bring up the Zone Ratings and all that good stuff to measure up the defense. 2)Crede on the road this past year, .269. Blalock .231. Blalock only does good at home, just like Soriano and most of that Texas squad. Just like Soriano, take Blalock out of Texas and you got an overrated player. Crede doesn't even do good at home. He hit .235 at the Cell. :puke

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:36 AM) .235 at home in 2005. Thank you. I was off, but its still pretty piss poor.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:32 AM) Carlos Lee went a full season without one. In the outfield...

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:28 AM) Yes, look at those numbers considering Blalock has batted 3rd/4th in each of those 3 seasons while Joe has been put in the #9 slot. Just some info on baseball, in the #9 slot, you're less likely to get more RBI's than the guy in the 3-4-5 spots. In fact, has there ever been a #9 hitter who has had more RBI's than a #3-4-5?? Also, Blalock's protection is Texieria and Soriano. Crede's protection is Podsednik and Uribe. Which explains the RBI's, but Blalock still puts a hurt on the ball. I could argue his away stats all day with you, but bottom line is that he is better on the road then Crede is at home. What did Crede hit at the Cell last year, like .220 something?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:27 AM) Blalock might be overated overall but on this site he is way underated and Crede is way overated it seems.... You hit that on the head.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:11 AM) Could you please bring up a comparison of what Blalock did on the road with what Crede did on the road? Thanks. No problem night. Each has played 3 full seasons now. Blalock has more RBI's, more HR's, more doubles, more walks, and more runs scored.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:10 AM) I don't like this trade at all. We don't need to totally overhaul the team. Wilkerson sucks. Dude hit 32 hr's in 04 but only 11 last year. Blalock would be an upgrade offensively over Crede, but a downgrade defensively. A major prospect? Jesus! Why do we have to rape our farm system? According to the 1st post, we would be getting the prospect.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) Anyone know Blalock's contract situation? 2005: $800,000 2006: $3,000,000 2007: $4,750,000 2008: $5,950,000 2009: free agent

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:00 AM) Joe Crede also had a higher OPS last year. Hank Blalock also has a higher average, higher on base percentage, double the walks, 30 more RBI, more hits, more AB's, more doubles, more home runs, more runs, and more total bases. Should I go on?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Blalock is icky. So is Joe Crede...

A lot of people just think we have a perfectly average suicide here. Including me.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) He wants you to bring back the choke avatar. No need, I still have mine.

QUOTE(Felix @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 07:53 PM) We overpaid... again. This seems to be a thing about this offseason. We are getting good players, but overpaying massively. Oh come on now. Too funny.

Basically official now. **EdIt: Sorry, I meant Vazquez. Can someone edit? I love this deal, and yet another bold move for KW. So what does this mean for BMAC?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Dec 13, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) RECAP The Sox have supposedly been in talks with Arizona about a possible deal for Javier Vasquez. Could be for either Garland or Contreras...the consensus appears to be Garland. Ozzie golfed with Vasquez, so we know they both like golf. Some people like it. Some people don't. Should stick with Garland...since he's gonna leave at the end of the season we should do the trade...we should trade him, but not for Vasquez...yada yada yada. Rosenthal says Chris Young might be involved. hi8is doesn't like rumors. Thank you. But :puke

Anyone want to update me on whats happaning so I don't have to read 22 pages? All I read was the first post...

I suggest getting rid of Trade Winds all together. Heck, there was even a poll after Trade Winds part 1 saying it shouldn't be brought back. JUST MO.

Count FTW!

QUOTE(Ricky3353 @ Dec 9, 2005 -> 06:20 AM) I dont know alot but i do know that Jeff Bajaneru is the most obscure athlete in the history of professional sports to have his own website. (move over Pat Mannley) No, that award goes to Robert Archibald, who got in for a total of like 10 minutes for his NBA career.

This is one of the few times there isn't a clear group of death. If I had to pick one, it would be the U.S.'s group E. Group F isn't bad either. Four solid teams, but only 1 real power.

OMG, this IS GREAT!!!! LOLOLOLOL! .256 AVERAGE! FAMOUS FOR A STRIKEOUT!

I would not mind getting Hammond.

I like the Todd Jones as a writer in TSN better than the Todd Jones baseball player.

More Spec Information also being leaked out tonight: Disks can store up to 8.5 GB's(GC held 1.5) Memory in Rev totals 104 MB's Double the clock rate of the CPU and GPU of the Gamecube and you have the Rev. I have no idea what this means, but I guess the Rev is twice as powerful ad the Gamecube. Not bad at all...
