someone want to double check my Salary for Mark and Freddy.. I thought those were what they were suppose to be making.

Those are figured into the Salary already, Everett gets a 1 mil increase and Contreas actually is the same as last year since the Spankies picked up the difference. We are at about 55-57 Mil

Yeah but, How are you going to trade a guy who Salary is at 6.5 mil and his ERA is close to that?

Where do you get those numbers from? Maggs's 14 mil gone Jose 5 Mil gone Alomars about 2 mil gone Schoenweiss about 2 mil gone But with that Shingo increase to 2.5 mil Burhurle is at 6 Garcia us at 7 Somaybe 40 was a little high, I say around 20-25...12 is way to low of a number.

okay I was wrong we only have 35.5 Million to spend, if KW lets the payroll go to 75mil But if we can trade away Pauly's 8 mil a year. More cash to spend Thanks for the welcome, I be sure to bring knoweldge to the board something that you seem to be lacking!

Thank you for proving my point...

We have 40mil to spend on upgrades.. Y You don't think that Renteria is an upgrade over Uribe.. Then how the hell do you type with the blind cane? The Sox need 3 things this offseason, actually 4 but the 4th is a little hard to come by. 1. A starter 2. A Defense SS, which Renteria is 3. RF and the 4th A GM

Again I say to you..Tejeda in 2003 had a bad year, as did Renteria in 2004...I take my chances with Renteria, over Uribe. Uribe had a great first 1/3 of the season then fell off then at the end turned it on again..That not a player I want to play everyday, give me a player who can hit around .300 all year long, which Renteria has been shown he can do in the past.

2002 Numbers 305/11/83 2003 Numbers 330/13/100 Yep you know what you are talking about! :headshake

Yes another person who wants to see the Tigers and Royals ahead of us in the standings...

Yes and Tejada had a bad contract year as well...would you take Uribe over Tejada?

Just for the 2004 season, he is a true SS, But once Baltimore Signed Tejada they moved him over to 2b.

Gibbons would play RF

Simple he doesn't fit the new 2005 sox mold of Pitching Speed ( ) and Defense ( ) Also Baltimore is in need of a 1b, they then can make the run at Beltran and plop him in CF move Harristion back to 2b with the trade of Roberts. Ryan well we need bullpen help and he might be a stretch to get. There are others that need to be included in the deal but those are the main players.

Let see here 2003 WOrld Champs for FLA... 1917 World Champs.. 1959 Last time been in the Series.. See where I am going with this?

2003 .277/23/100 in 160 games played 2004 is numbers were down, he was on the DL from End of June to the middle of August. ALso that why we are asking for Roberts (ss who can lead off) and Ryan (bullpen help)

Really when has Bochard hit close to .300 in the majors? Had 100 RBI's? Really you should know what you are talking about b4 making comparisions, we could only wish that Bochard could hit like Gibbons

Spending money wisely on good players is equated to winning, not trading for Todd Ritchie.

So the first year of the deal we short change him, then when Carla E. is gone we increase his Salray REnteria, can be bought by the Sox we have the money..But does he want to play here, thats the biggest issue.

Trade Pauly to Baltimore for Jay Gibbons and Brian Roberts maybe we can also get out of them BJ ryan.. Fills 2/3 needs

So why are the Sox not going after him then we have about 40-45 mil to spend, spending 8-10mil on Renteria is not a bad idea. WE still have 35-37 mil to play with for another SP and RP. And for the person that thought that he can lead-off.. Nope he a good number 2 or 5 hitter not lead-off.

Thank God...Spend the money on a real player who was on a World Champion last year.

The same goes to anyone on this board who thinks that PP is better than Orlando.. You have never look at all the elements of the equation.. PP was playing on the Phills hitting in front of Thome for most of the year... Orlando was in MOntreal... Look at most of the players that leave Montreal they excel.. PP has hit his peak.
