Wow. Looks like a f***ing movie poster. Excellent work.

QUOTE(Dam8610 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) Okay. I kind of thought the likelihood of the youngsters being traded was slim, but what about Freel? He'd fit perfectly with the "smallball" philosophy, with his .406 OBP and 21 SB, and he's 29 years old, so it's not like he's a top prospect or anything. Freel is a little older but he is cheap and plays a ton of positions.

QUOTE(Cloudyguy09 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) david schwimmer is he a sox fan or royals fan? how do you know hes gunna be there? I don't know or care if he even follows baseball, my comment was an extention of a previous rant in a previous thread on a similar subject.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 02:38 PM) He WAS a starting pitcher in the minor leagues, from that standpoint he didn't turn out how he was expected to. When we called him up he was a starting pitcher and sucked at it so we moved him to relief. In relief he has done well. As a starting pitcher not so well. I love what Neal has done for us this year, but he was susposed to be a good starting pitcher and he just isn't one. He is a good reliever. And since when was the truth ignorant? So after 5 career starts you're ruling out Cotts being a starter. That's not ignorance, that's stupidity. We brought he up from the minors and had him start a few games, he was bad. So like you do with young pitchers in order to get them into major league form you either send them back down and let them work on their stuff on a consitant basis or you let them pitch out of the pen. The Sox felt Cotts was better suited staying up and pitching in relief, which he has done for the past year. Comming into this season there was no need for Cotts in the Starting rotation seeing how we signed El Duque and we wanted a veteran staff. The way McCarthy pitched in spring training he showed that he would be a good 6th starter option. So after all developemnents Cotts was set to pitch out of the pen for this year as well. Unless Cotts becomes some sort of dominate reliever over a long period of time, he will most likely eventually go back to being a starting pitcher. At this point it is not necessary to be grooming him to be a starter, we need more help out of the pen.

WILL NOT BE TRADED---->Felipe Lopez (25 YO) - WILL NOT BE TRADED---->Jorge Cantu (23 YO) Pedro Feliz (30 YO) - WILL NOT BE TRADED---->Bill Hall (25 YO) WILL NOT BE TRADED---->Ryan Freel (29 YO) WILL NOT BE TRADED---->Chad Tracy (25 YO) I don't know why you'd be looking at some top prospects on these teams. Just because they're on bad teams doesn't mean they'll be trade. Freel is a little older but he is cheap and plays a ton of positions. Lopez, Cantu, Hall and Tracey are all top prospects for their respective teams. Bill Hall will be thier for the long hall, most likey moved to 3rd base once J.J. Hardy shows that he can play a reliable SS. Hall, Hardy, Weeks and Fielder, that will be a great infield in the future. Lopez was a former first round pick of the Blue Jays and was part of a four way deal envolving Elmer Dessens when he was good and Erubial Durazo leaving Arizona. He is finally comming into his own at the age of 25 and will not be leaving Cincy. I don't know what the hell San Fran is thinkning so Feliz may be traded.

QUOTE(Cloudyguy09 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) im pretty sure he was at the cell last night he was on the jumbotron, i guess hes a dodgers fan Yes, he is a Dodger fan. Can't wait to see David Schwimmer at the Sox game tonight.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) Cotts really didn't turn out as we expected him to until partially last year and now this year. He's 25 and has only been in the league since the beginning of last year. He had awesome minor league number but struggled when he first came up as a pitcher. Cotts became a pretty good prospect in 2003 with the numbers he was putting up at Charlotte. He has now settled down in his second season in the big leagues. That's kind of an ignorant statement to make, saying that he didn't really turn out as we expected him to until partially last year and now this year considering last year was his first season in the bigs.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 20, 2005 -> 11:52 AM) i know most of you hate espn and place no stock in their assessments, but buster olney is pretty good...heres what he said in his chat today. it hasnt sounded like kenny has wanted to move crede but maybe he will. personally, i dont want to see crede go for randa. everyone loves randa, but hes old, and is a .260-.270 hitter who will give 15 homers and play solid 3b. Id rather have crede hit .250 with 25 homers and play excellent D Joe Randa is not a .260-.270 hitter he's a .285-.295 hitter. Check his career stats.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 19, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) I read that at least 10 times . I laughed aloud equally each time. Good work! I just had to.

The person that is concocting this massive internet poll takeover is obviously some sort of super genius. Noone else has found a way to dominate the polls because it is so complicated to find a way, only a genius could come up with such an absolutely diabolical plot for All-City team domination.
