i look through our drafts and see about 95% 90 mph throwers.

i know a guy thats a cubs fan, he says he doesnt like the sox because there are too many hispanics and blacks. a cubs fan says that!

Anyone notice we never draft any hard throwers? I got really excited about McCarthy because with his size I thought he'd be a flamethrower. Maybe when he fills out he'll throw harder.

i dont want to get rid of paulie but quite frankly i could live without carlos, especially if we got some holes filled for him

i totally agree

get any sleep out of it?

We never sign big free agents. We're more likely to make a trade for big players than sign one like beltran. We might sign a 4-6 million guy, but i don't see a 18 million guy like beltran coming to town. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get him, but i dont see it happening.

they might do that too

We also need a true leadoff hitter. Rowand is more 3,4,5 and Harris speaks for himself. Alomar hasnt impressed me but he knows how its done. Getting a man on base for the power guys would be nice. Lots of solo homers for the sox. Another thing is all the automatic outs in our lineup. Crede, Valentin, Borchard, Harris....

i dont see us spending that kind of money on anybody but maggs. beltran will prolly go to yanks or other big market teams

maggs should be 2-3 million cheaper and is already a known face in the clubhouse and wants to play for the sox anyway. better hitter IMO than beltran. solid defensive player

i'll take maggs over any trade or carlos beltran IMO

oh didnt realize that...must have been why we were shut down for five innings

he's a lot like sammy sosa....small range so a lot of routine balls turn into highlights

nice to see buehrle have a good game.

i really like paul too...i would take him over carlos lee any day

where's the upside to this guy? bad fielder, bad baserunner, bad contact hitter, home run every once in a blue moon. he's like jose valentin but worse

yeah that would be a good idea...i like to vent after our games about how bad somebody is.

sign clement if you're upgrading elsewhere....if clement would be our best signing, we'll be in trouble

How long can kenny williams sit there without signing a competent fifth starter before we fire him? Needs: Better third baseman Willie Harris or Jose Valentin to get the boot (Valentin's gone but preferably Harris too) Garland put up or shut up Better right fielder Fifth starter (or maybe 1,2,3, or 4)
