IIRC, KW contacted The Mets last season when both Frank/Maggs went down to see about Floyd's price? Also, IIRC They were discussions about a Floyd for Sweeney deal, but Ozzie begged KW not to and KW then broke off talks. Not sure if that's 100% accurate or not. All in all I think Floyd would be ok, if healthy. He kind of reminds me of Everett though.

I know, your right. I think my main thing with him is that Kenny has traded for him twice and I owuld like to see if he can do anything for us whatsoever over a FULL season.

Agreed, Willie would be a great 9 hitter. Hopefully KW gets The Sox a bonafide lead-off man.

yeah, but the guy is only 29 and supposedly has his mechanics and isn't relying too much on his velocity anymore. He is worth it, I hope the deal gets done. I remember him shutting The Sox down last year. Purely dominant, IIRC.

I like Valdez too, but if Robbie could be had at a resonable price and improves from last year when he had a supposed back ailment that limited him with The Sox, then I think it's a good risk to take.

I homestly wouldn't have a problem with that. IIRC, his speed isn't all that bad. What about Rowand, also IIRC, he did well in the lead-off spot.

Beltran goes to The Yankees. Houston has too many question marks right now, with Clemens unsure and Berkman hurt.

Renteria would be great, but I think we end up with our hearts broken again. Someone with more money will up the ante too high, IMO.

Just my opinion and my Frank bias shining through. Looking at the stats from those two in 2000, Giambi's numbers were better. I guess Giambi did deserve it.

No question Frank deserved it.

I thought The NFL trading deadline had already passed?

Ouch, I wasn't expecting THE CHAIR

The more and more I hear these teams that are talking to pitchers, the more and more I wonder if we are going to sign anyone. I'm hoping next week when the winter meetings start that KW gets us a pitcher.

I know that Robbie is old and been injury prone. But, KW was going to take a chance on Vizquel, who is 38 yrs old himself. Considering everything KW has given up for Alomar the past 2 years, would it be so bad to bring him back cheaply and see if he can win the 2B job? I, for one, would take a chance with him, if the price was right just to try to save face considering KW traded for him.................TWICE.

I agree with that. Give him another shot. Hopefully he knows his time is running out and it lights fire up under him.

Agreed, I'm not sold on him either. Put together a few good years in a row and we'll see.

Albert Belle had problems too and JR took a chance with him. I'd like Bradley here, especially batting in the 3 hole with Frank at clean up. Anyone know how Bradley is with the glove?

yes, back in April there was a tornado that destroyed a small town near where I live and alot of people from The Sox organization went there and actually helped with cleaning up the baseball filed that was destroyed and gave out numerous things. It was a great day for that town.

I think KW is on the phone right now

Interesting article. Could it be possible that KW is flying under the radar to land on of those infielders?

I'm pretty torn on this then. Does KW need to strike fast and up the ante for this guy or does he sit back and wait for another starter? I really don't know what to think about Wright.

Guys, I don't know if this has been covered because I have never seen a thread blow up like this before. But rashid4434 consistently posts crap rumors on cbssportsline rumor mill. So, if this is where the rumor started it's BS. If it came from JimH friend in Florida, there could be something to this.

Solidify The Bullpen: Two Words: Antonio Osuna

If this is true, Jaret Wright as a #3 or #4 is a good pick-up.

Ok, I think you are right. He is not on the 40 man roster and I haven't heard anything as far as The Sox plans for him.
