QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 19, 2007 -> 03:40 PM) Maybe they just want someone not named Juan Uribe, but overall Jack Wilson really isn't that much different. He's a weak offensive shortstop who is a pretty damn good fielder. Both are set to make similar money. Wilson is going to be paid substantially more than Uribe over the next 2 seasons ('08 &'09). I highly doubt KW has any interest in him.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 19, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) I really, really dislike the idea of giving Rowand what his market value will be after this season. He currently has the highest OPS of any CF in the game (.934). Aaron could cash in big time this offseason with a deal even higher than what Gary Matthews Jr. pulled in last offseason (5 years, $50M). They're similar defensively, putting up similar offensive numbers (Rowand's are better) and Aaron is 3 years younger. It would be a real shame if the Sox ended up paying the full one year wonder price for a guy who has spent most of his career being a pretty average ballplayer.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) If you take the time to go back a few pages, I bashed Jack Wilson too. My point is that anything is an upgrade on Uribe, even a .250 hitter that plugs the gap until he get something better. Jack Wilson is not an upgrade from Juan Uribe.

For the Season: .271/.366/.514/.880 Since April 23rd: .294/.381/.569/.950 (73 G) 18 2B, 18 HR, 39 BB, 46 SO Since May 19th: .333/.427/.650/1.077 (52 G) 16 2B, 14 HR, 31 BB, 29 SO Since June 4th: .343/.442/.701/1.143 (39 G) 13 2B, 12 HR, 25 BB, 21 SO Since July 1st: .377/.484/.830/1.314 (15 G) 9 2B, 5 HR, 11 BB, 8 SO Now add another HR and these numbers look even more remarkable.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 11:18 AM) Bump I am kind of hoping Uribe finishes the season below .200 so KW is almost forced to replace him. I wonder if we can get the Pirates to eat some of Jack Wilson's salary. Hell they are paying Kendall for hit .220 for the Cubs. Wilson and Uribe are pretty much the same damn player, why replace one problem with another? I'd rather just sign John McDonald in the offseason live with the horrid offense but get some great defense for 1/10 of the price of a Wilson or Uribe.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 18, 2007 -> 11:53 AM) Just wanted to say that Paul Konerko is awesome right now....that contract he signed is such a waste. Some good Konerko numbers coming into today: For the Season: .271/.366/.514/.880 Since April 23rd: .294/.381/.569/.950 (73 G) 18 2B, 18 HR, 39 BB, 46 SO Since May 19th: .333/.427/.650/1.077 (52 G) 16 2B, 14 HR, 31 BB, 29 SO Since June 4th: .343/.442/.701/1.143 (39 G) 13 2B, 12 HR, 25 BB, 21 SO Since July 1st: .377/.484/.830/1.314 (15 G) 9 2B, 5 HR, 11 BB, 8 SO Now add another HR and these numbers look even more remarkable.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 17, 2007 -> 07:25 PM) The Quentin fascination amazes me a bit. He's been absolutely terrible. Like, Brian Anderson bad. He's got tools, but there is a reason they want to deal him. He didn't have a hit all of July and they sent him back down. The only thing I like about him is that his birthday is a day after mine. But then again, I'd take him in an instant if all we had to give up was Contreras. He had 9 ABs in July so lets not act like that actually means anything. He's still only 24 and has those ridiculous tools, last year in limited ABs (166) he had 9 HR, 13 2B and put up a .253/.342/.530/.872 line. That's pretty damn good for a 23 year old. He also attended KW/Borchard's alma mater which can't hurt.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 10:05 PM) Sox should try to work something out for Kolb and or Chacon...both would be better than some of these stiffs they are running out there as of now. The Pirates actually released Dan Kolb last week.

Moving Javy or Mark into a middle relief role for the stretch run is probably the most ridiculous thing I've read on here this season. QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 10:07 PM) His use of Logan lately has been disappointing. He still has no clue what LOOGY stands for.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 09:40 PM) how many players can say they played in 163 games in one season? 28 including Greg Walker and Billy Williams did it 3 times (he also had a 164 GP season.) QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 09:43 PM) More than you'd think. Happens all the time when players are traded mid-season. Actually you're wrong. A player has played in 163+ games in a single season with more than one team a grand total of 3 times in the history of the game. Todd Zeile ('96), Willie Montanez ('76) and Frank Taveras ('79) but he actually played in 164 games.

Brian Sabean's incompetent ass got an extension today. What a joke.

Times the Sox have been Shutout by Opponent since 1990: '07: 8 (through 88 games) '06: 6 '05: 7 '04: 8 '03: 8 '02: 7 '01: 4 '00: 3 '99: 7 '98: 9 '97: 8 '96: 2 '95: 6 (144 games) '94: 2 (113 games) '93: 14 '92: 11 '91: 12 '90: 7 So yeah, not good. Andy Gonzalez will be leading off on opening day next season.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 07:42 PM) Don't know if anyone heard this on the radio today, but a reporter said a certain player has been a distraction in the clubhouse all year due to the uncertainty of his contract. Ryan Bukvich?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) By my calculations, if this score holds up, we'll be 3-10 this year when Hall started. Coming into today's game: Team Record in Appearances: 3-11 / in Starts: 3-9

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 08:53 AM) No, Hunter will get paid based on what Ichiro gets more so than Hafner. Andruw Jones will have more of an effect on Hunter's next contract than any other player out there.

I'd do Morales and Stewart straight up for Garland

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 01:02 PM) Heh. ESPN2 needs to check their info I think. According to MILB, the Barons' site and his college, I got his name spelled correctly. Wait... why was he on ESPN2? AAA All-Star Game

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 08:49 AM) I don't think that it would take that much because i don't think Pitt. wants to pay Bay's salary in the next couple of years. Pitt. has lots of young pitching. The problem is the matchup because the Sox don't have much of anything else to offer. But, I would think that Anderson would be part of the package. I was thinking Anderson, Mackowiack and 2 bullpen guys. I think that would be worth it for the Sox. The Pirates are going to get very good young talent in exchange for Bay if they decide to deal him (which they won't IMO). They haven't given away a player since Ramirez like 4 years ago. If you're not offering up some excellent young players, you're not going to get Bay. Rob Mackowiak is going to make only 1-2 million less than Bay next year and is no where near as talented, your proposal is pretty ridiculous.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 10:45 PM) Luckaly Bedard is.. how can I put it... not himself when he faces us. For once we are good against a real good pitcher. Except for last year when he went 8, K'd 7, walked 1 and allowed a single run.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 09:13 PM) i remember when someone on here, cant remember who...about 2 weeks ago said boone logan was one of the best relievers in teh game lol When used properly. He was not used properly today.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 10:01 PM) I know you're being semi-sarcastic, but all he had to do was NOT give up a home run. He's a LOOGY, he shouldn't be facing righties. They hit him incredibly hard. I fear Boone will never be used properly. QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 10:16 PM) it's great to see the offense coming around. save for bedard, guthrie was the best starting pitcher we are going to face this series. i can't wait to see our offense in action the days Vazquez (game 3) and Danks (game 4) pitch. Bedard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Guthrie

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the game. Maybe Ozzie figured all Boone needed was one more out?? That's the sort of thinking that loses ballgames. I'm beginning to think Boone Logan is too powerful of a weapon for Ozzie to handle.

QUOTE(TheOcho @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 09:44 PM) Millar. Why would the LOOGY Boone Logan being facing a righy in Kevin Millar?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 12, 2007 -> 09:34 PM) My god, we get off to a great start, the bullpen comes in and is absolutely s***ty. My god, this is why I think we'll never go on a big run. Not with this bullpen at least. Even Boone Logan gave up a bomb. I didn't see the game. Who hit the HR off Boone?
