Southside hitmen

their is not much on the D Backs active roster I would want if they want one of our relievers

Estes is having a pretty solid year 6-5 3.75 ERA he would make a nice 5th starter

How about Shingo to AZ for Shawn Estes

With Ned Colletti at the Sox game tonight and Youkam watching Schmidt last night. I think a trade will happen real soon

Anyone intersted in trading for Furcal of Atlanta and moving Uribe to 3rd base

you guys make me sick when you think that just mentioning the playoff is a jinx.. If the team is great which they are they will make the playoffs has nothing to do with any jinx.. you sound alot like cubs fans with the dam curse..

Alot of people on this site has no f***in faith in this team.. I see alot of people bashing Ozzie when something going wrong but as soon as the teams wins you dont hear anything from these losers.. Have some faith in the best team in baseball

I think this site is full of teen-agers. Who hasnt even seen the old ballpark...

Addison your a total jerk off loser.. your a loser dude

I dont think their is anything wrong with this dude posting Schmidt performance since he is rumor to come to the Sox

If the Sox got Schmidt we will win the AL Central and maybe the World Series

Yes the Redsox have a nice little streak going but their road record sucks... Schilling might not bea nything special when he comes back from a long layoff... Rank the Playoff Contenders who you rather face.. My list would be 1 Baltimore 2 Boston 3 Minnesota 4 NY Yankees 5 Texas 6 Angels

Yes Boston doesnt scare me compare to the other playoff contenders... The Redsox pitching is weak besides Matt Clement

I hope we play Baltimore or Boston those teams dont scare me

Jason Jennings, Rockies Several contenders are looking for starting pitching help, while at the same time complaining there isn't much value out there. Jennings might represent a bargain though, since he's young, not that expensive and, considering he pitches in Coors, putting up numbers that are not horrible. Potential Suitors: Braves, Orioles, Phillies, Rangers, Red Sox, White Sox Jason Schmidt, Giants Schmidt has been regaining his form lately on a team going nowhere, which has naturally re-kindled trade talk. Giants GM Brian Sabean says he isn't thinking about trading him, but really, what he wants to do is drive a very hard bargain. He wants three good prospects, which a few teams might think is worth it as the trade deadline approaches. righty. Potential Suitors: Phillies, Rangers, Red Sox, White Sox, Yankees

We could also make a trade for Jamie Moyer -- The remodeling of the Seattle roster could be about to begin. In the wake of losing five of their past seven games to fall into last place in the American League West, there were indications yesterday the Mariners could be ready to part with some of their veterans, perhaps second baseman Bret Boone or left-handed starter Jamie Moyer.

The Red Sox would like to add another starting pitcher and inquired about Burnett at the winter meetings last December. The Sox would have difficulty meeting the Marlins' exact needs, but could build a package that includes their top prospect, Double-A shortstop Hanley Ramirez, along with right-handed starter Bronson Arroyo. Knowing the price will be high, any team that acquires Burnett, 28, would need to be confident that it could sign him long term. The Marlins, unlikely to retain Burnett, would prefer to trade him for immediate help than receive only draft picks if he departs as a free agent. Burnett threw a two-hit shutout against the Devil Rays on Sunday, but for all his talent, he's only 5-5 with a 3.14 ERA this season, 41-43 with a 3.78 ERA lifetime. The Orioles, a team in search of a No. 1 starter, could prove a match for the Marlins if they are willing to give up either right-hander Daniel Cabrera or Hayden Penn, reliever Jorge Julio and outfielder Larry Bigbie, with the Marlins likely sending them outfielder Juan Encarnacion — another potential free agent — along with Burnett. In recent years, however, the Orioles have shown great reluctance at acquiring potential free agents, passing on deals for first baseman Derrek Lee and right-hander Tim Hudson because they could not sign them to contract extensions before making the trades. The Yankees also could get involved for Burnett if they were willing to trade setup man Tom Gordon and right-hander Chien-Ming Wang, a move that could do as much harm as good. The Tigers are another team that has expressed past interest in Burnett.

The Florida Marlins are considering trading right-hander A.J. Burnett, a blockbuster move that would alter the pennant races in both leagues, The Sporting News has learned. The Marlins are engaged in preliminary discussions about Burnett with the Orioles and a second, unidentified American League club. Their goal in trading Burnett, who will be a free agent at the end of the season, would be to obtain three major-league parts — a young starting pitcher, quality reliever and left-handed hitting outfielder.

With AJ Burnett being on the trading block would love to see the Sox get this guy...

I believe D Lee sign an extension in the beginning of the season

Milw 7 Minn 5

Carl is the DH today and Frank on the bench so I was right

Its Frank Thomas..

todays NY Post had this artice Schmidt can be had, but the Yanks worry about his chronic shoulder problems, high salary and the Giants' big demands. A few executives said they thought the Red Sox, White Sox and Rangers were most likely to pursue San Francisco's ace

The crowd: At Wrigley Field, White Sox fans were a big part of the paying audience. The reverse wasn't true at The Cell. The largest crowd of the season was cheering overwhelmingly for the Sox. And, no, the Sox did not seem to be affected adversely by playing before a rare sellout. from tomorrow trib keep these dam cub fans out of our stadium
