1 Good year Garland can go, someone else can WAY overpay for him. I am glad Sox are not gonna be that team, never have been a big fan of his to begin with save money for Buerhle.

Wow ESPN sure went over the top putting him with Joe.D and the Mick

Cubs to sign J.Jones for 3 yr ...16 mil show how desperate they really are! :headshake

Paid a little more than I thought I saw 3yr 12 mil package .......I like AJ and glad he is back but may have overpaid a little.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) He has trash canned the best hitter I ever saw in Frank Thomas and traded the man threw the best single ½ inning a baseball I have ever seen in my life, in Orlando Hernandez. He disposed of the epitome of the World Championship team in Aaron Rowand, a guy we watched grow and regress in Marte and a guy who took one for the team in April that haunted his entire season in Vizcaino. He discarded Carl Everett who carried the offense at times. He dismissed the man who hit a game winner in the first World Series the team went to in 46 years. He is bringing in some big names to replace them but I miss my guys. I waited all my 53 years for a championship and now 6 of the 25 heroes from the playoff roster plus Frank – a quarter of them – are gone and we haven’t even gotten to spring training yet. The magic of 2005, of our guys, a team that nobody else respected but knew in its heart it could do it, a team that got great plays from the most unlikely sources is gone. The warmth I felt for the team going against all probabilities is being replaced fantasy baseball-like expected run production ratios. When Williams starts his BS about the Sox being a family all the players need to do is look how Frank, Aaron, Orlando, Damaso, Luis, Geoff and Carl were all s*** canned within 2 months of winning the ring for them -great family. When is Kenny going to stop killing the best thing that ever happened to the White Sox for a half century? Waste of a thread move on get over it

Because his value will not be higher and he is NOT worth what the market will bear to him as far as the White Sox are concerned.

I would go nuts if KW pulls this off.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Chris Young was most definately in the future plans. As of yesterday he was on pace to be our starting CF in '07. Young can go Anderson will be fine.

White Sox gave up nothing Arizona got fleeced big time.......KW GREAT TRADE

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 08:44 AM) Carl Crawford for Garland straight up: yells yea! Crawford is a player I really like, has speed, has a high OBP, and plays good defense. He's young and fairly cheap to boot. Garland's stock is at the highest I think it will ever be. Time to get out while the gettings good with him. Comment on Garland is 100% right on.

To get Vasquez for crappy LV, Young who was not in future plans really and there oldest player on team who was gone next year anyway is brilliant on KW part, I think Garlang may go If Contreras signs an extension.

Garland would be the one dealt!

Thome/Anderson hands down.

Weak and long segment by wrestling standards...........much to do about nothing.

Good

I always liked Rincon would be a great pickup instead of M.Myers.

Thought Sox could get more for Marte........Pitt will trade him I would bet and get more than we did i am afraid.

Thanks FT......injuries robbed you of some of the best numbers ever by a RH batter.

QUOTE(rowand's rowdies @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 08:53 PM) I have found a possible fit for the CF job. Kenny Lofton. One year deal likely between 2-3 mil. He would take less playing time, worked out well with us before, and would allow anderson or owens to get some time. then get rid of timo so we can have 2 of the owens,anderson,sweeney, young group up. Been there done that hell no!

If someone wants to overpay for JG trade him.

Market is nuts Gordan a 3 yr deal Phil is desperate.

Murph's a joke Sox get Thome and resign PK, Cubs OVERPAY for middle of the road relievers and he thinks Hendry is doing a good job.........KW is on fire and I think he is not done.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) That should go over real well with the Sox brass.. What a jag. Thinking the very same thing Steff :headshake

Pk and Thome instead of PK and Everett is a fantastic upgrade .......

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 01:44 PM) Why would he make that up? Levine has been wrong alot more than right, If he is right well a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.
