I'm actually surprised the Flubs did'nt claim him. I hope Rios is better than Trenidad Hubbard.

What happens when this guy go 18-20+ wins this year and a similar year next year. He ain't that old and could provide leadership during the rebuilding process coming soon.

Anybody that can figure this out and will leave it alone. Frank Thomas does better playing 1st base.

Let White go into the role he is finally developing Middle Relief. Have glover go a couple innings and then go to sanders both mop-up guys that dont't get much time. White,Marte,Gordon all are doing good. And Koch, well uhh, no comment.

Let's put it in this perspective; Suppose you made to the big leagues as a pitcher of the caliber of Buehrle. Your from Chicago and your playing for a mediocre team (your not the Sox) you want to go to Chicago and want to pitch for your home crowd that's doing better. I say let Mark go and achieve his life-long dream in TWO years. Anything can happen in two years. You can't force him to not go to St. Louis. He's already turned down big money.

Hate to break it to you SoxFan1 but Varitek won. The only way Frank gets in is because of the Sweeney injury. You kept voting hard and you we're really into it; as was I; but not nearly as much as you were. Kudos to you SoxFan1 and other Sox fans that worked hard.

Mets recalled Edwin Almonte, I am guessing he won't get much action and only be around for a couple days.

homer by valentin javier that is

I am actually getting comfortable with Rick White on the mound. This is around the time last year where he pitched lights out for the Cardinals. I think if we are for real we need a better closer who we all can be comfortable with. I like marte, gordon, white all in their roles now. Let's go and get Benitez from the mets. Is it asking for to much?

I was there yesterday in section 106 right field reserved seats above bullpen sports bar. great seats, you can see everything. There was wayyyyy more people then 19,955. What a great game especially when you a Twins family right next to you.

Today's Lineup July 2 Just on Mac, Yurko, Harry\ 2b Alomar SS Valentin Dh Thomas Rf Ordonez Cf Everett Lf Lee 1B Daubach 3B Crede C Alomar P Wright Why is Thomas not playing 1B the past couple of days.

There goes my Mark Kotsay Fan Club idea.

I think Rick is actually coming around, he did awesome around the all star break last year. Send Sanders down, or dump Glover to make room for Weathers.

Is Castillo a free agent after this year? I'm not sure but let go of Valentin;I love the guy's attitude and heart but the BA is a little low for a number 2 hitter. Leave Jimenez at 2nd and Castillo at SS if he has the range.

Luis Castillo

I wonder if he asked for his glove back.

I don't think the Sox would spend around 7 mil for a guy that has'nt ever played here. He does have good speed, defense, and a little pop. If we get him (highly doubtful) he'll end up being Choice with more speed.IMO.Manos has'nt been too bad at short.Maybe he'll come cheap to us for a year. Unless our plan is to put DJ there at short,Harris at 2nd? Hummel back at AAA or is he expendable at this point next year.

he's not on knights or barons roster.I'm guessing he hung them up.

Did he ever report to the minors or did he just retire.Sorry I never post guys I just like to read but I am going to start posting more often.

just the one on sunday where loaiza pitched like an ace.yesterday to make it short.

Thanks alot Jim.Keep it up and good luck on your start.

Kris Honel, was who he was talking about.

Solid Signing IMO.I wonder for how much...

With the money he gets and the time in the offseason,he plays in America why can't he take the time to learn the language would it hurt.It also would be easy to communicate with his teammates.Just my opinion.
