How many SS put up OPS over .900? Now that ARod is at 3B the answer is none. Only a few SS had OPS over .800 last year, Michael Young, Jhonny Peralta, Miguel Tejada, Felipe Lopez, Derek Jeter and Bill Hall. Last year Miguel Tejada lead all SS in HR, RBI and 2B. He's the best SS in baseball, there's little debate about that.

Alright, this has been bothering the hell out of me. Wilkerson is not a free agent after the '06 season, he's a free agent after the '07 season.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) 2007, he is arb elig after this season. ^^^ Can this be put in giant bold letters atop Soxtalk? So it never has to be explained again.

QUOTE(Steff @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 05:23 AM) I've thought of the possibility that the scene was a dream.. but one other thing that eliminates him is that he wasn't around when the attacks began either. He didn't come on until after Sean was attacked. They had already done 4 repairs by then.. There is also a strong rumor going around that he is not killed from the attack and Sean & Christian ends up saving his life on the operating table... I understand the whole timetable thing, where he wasn't around and all but I'm not sure they're even going to try and tie up loose ends like that. I'm thinking more along the lines of, he carves himself for whatever reason. The Carver is a sadistic bastard and probably wouldn't be unwilling to slice himself up if for the right reason. Also I think it only makes sense for the Carver to be someone who's attractive, trying to "trying to lead my brothers and sisters into the light to liberate them from the cage of beauty." - from the Carver's myspace. That sounds like someone who is attractive and thinks it burdons them.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) I said it in a different thread... Ken Griffey Jr wouldn' shock me at all. It would shock me, simply because we have nowhere to put him. He's a liablility in CF these days.

It just has to be Quentin. The Obviousness of it being him went out the window when they showed the teaser for the finale and Quentin laying on the bed with the message on the wall and him all cut up. You were meant to believe that this means he'll be attacked by the Carver and in turn it can not be him. When in reality this teaser was meant to make you eliminate Quentin from the suspects list so when they reveal it to be him it will no longer be obvious. It will instead be shocking. Quentin Costa has to be the Carver.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) If you are the guy in the know about Sox prospects, I'd like to hear whether you agree with my assessment. Chris Young and Brandon McCarthy were/are the two best major league prospects in the entire Sox system, and the most likely to be major league stars. Agree? Disagree? If true, I can't believe KW couldn't have gotten the Vazquez deal done with one or two lesser talents, as he HAD to be traded by March or would be a free agent. I guess we have to move on, but I was looking forward to seeing Chris Young in the Sox outfield as early as mid-late 2006. Bummer. Vazquez never would have hit free agency. The D-Backs weren't backed completely into a corner, if Vazquez did tear up his contract in March, there's not a chance in hell he'd get money anywhere near what he's making now. He demanded a trade but would have recinded it before March.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) 1- finalize Vazquez trade 2- resign Contreras to 2 yr/20 million dollar extension 3- trade Garland/Crede to Orioles for Mora/Julio/prospect Mora is a FA after the '06 season and Julio just isn't all that good. Not liking that trade.

Anne Heche's character was just flat out annoying. I don't care if she just left all of a sudden and we get no closer, I just don't ever want to see her again. On Bobolit, I totally agree. I love the character even though I hate him. The character is just so interesting no matter how f***ed up and evil he is. He just makes so much sense as the Carver too.

I do believe I hate Mark Schanowski, his overall demeanor and snide remarks piss me off. Also, his nose is incredibly distracting.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:10 PM) Obviously, I saw the name. Just never heard of him. I guess I could have worded it differently. Whatever. You worded it fine. I'm sure most everyone understood what you were trying to say.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) I'm with you. I don't want for it to be Sean or Christian and I don't think it would. Bobolit makes perfect sense to me. One question, what happened to the transvestite (I forget her name). I remember when Matt and her finally ended it and her son committed suicide, but did she die. If she didn't (remember she's still a man in a sense), than thats the only other person I could see it being (if it was going to be someone who has played a big role in the show at one point in time). I believe Ava left the country for Paris but after he son killed himself she may have stayed and decided to take out her anger on society. I think Ava is a pretty realistic choice, simply because it seems that would be the type of thing the writers would do. IMO it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense to make the Carver her but I would never rule it out. What ever happened to the knife that Adrian (her son) used to kill himself with? Could she be using that exact same knife to carve her victims? I'm sure there's some sort of timetable that could possibly eliminate her as a suspect but I'm far too tire to go back and look on the DVDs or even think about it fully.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) It'll be crazy if it turns out to be Sean. If it's Sean, the show is over. I just think Merril Bobolit is just so perfect. If the Carver turns out to be someone off the wall and they have to stretch to tie all the evidence together (especially the condom found at the scene of the Rhea Reynolds murder) I'm gonna be pissed off. The killer has to have motive and be understandable, no cheap way out, I've invested way too much time into this show to have there be so many loose ends in the finale.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) i'd just like to make one very important point borchard > pujols. trust me on this one guys. and also, lorenzo barcelo is coming back with a vengance. so resign him and don't trade him. I'm not sure why, but this last part cracked me up.

QUOTE(SnB @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Was the show "doug" on old nickelodeon not the greatest show of all time? "Hey, Dude!" was way better.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) Horray. :sleep Quiet you.

QUOTE(lightthematch @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 11:22 AM) so loyalty goes where exactly? If being loyal means he walks at the end of the season and we get a draft pick, I'm not big on loyalty. If Garland would like to stay loyal to the team that has stuck by his underachieving ass for the past 5 years and sign a long term deal, then yeah loyalty has a place here. Of course it would make little sense from Garland's side to sign a deal worth under $10M a year for anything less than 5 years and it would make little sense for the Sox to invest $50M over 5 years on a player that has not proven that he can do what he did in the 1st half of '05 over a full season. His value is high and we have 6 very good SP, if you deal Garland you can improve an already great team.

It means my prediction of December 27th could be spot on. All I need is Garland trade and I'll be in the driver's seat.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) Isn't he dead? Tim Belcher is quite alive.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) WHO'S KOREY? It's a Jabronism Korey Patterson. Because he strikes out a lot.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) Mike Caruso. God

He will not trade Garland for Pujols. That's all I know for certain.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) It's like the return of former SoxTalk posters who were dismissed. Next thing you know, cwsox and HeatherLee will be back! no, not ever Heather was not banned by the way.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) could you please explain the REASONS that this doesnt work? Do you seriously want to see Everett batting 3rd for the Sox in '06 and El Duque as our 5th starter. Just because you can't watch your Sox DVD and watch current players on the team?

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:37 PM) It's true. PM him. I am not doubting you.
