Rollins is very inconsistant. Don't let his numbers fool you. Juggernaut is looking at the right stats. When you look at the right stats, that's not looking too deeply in them, that's just trying to find the right matchups. We're trying to win the division and you have to start by getting players who fare well against the opponents in that division. I don't know if Rollins is that. He sucked at the beginning of last year, turned it on in late June, had a crappy August, and came back strong in September. His glove is great, but I say no because he'll cost alot.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Jan 11, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) I will buy as many of them as they will let me. Then from there we can figure something out like send me $2.00 and a self addressed stamped envelope or something, and I'll send you the wristband. I will definitely try to figure out a way to help out as many people as possible. I would definately send you a money order or a check and some extra cash for helping out. Probably like 5 dollars extra.

Why didn't the Sox do this? A minor league deal and also he'll probably be a good DH for them. I agree, he probably can't play defense anymore, but I think Juan Gone can still hit.

i would definately want one......at least one for the tsunami relief....that would b awesome.....first n foremost for the sox though, they better be sellin those in the season

i would definately want Soriano. He is far and away one of the best 2B in the league. That's why the Yanks would want him over anybody. He's a superstar 2B. He would be a great leadoff hitter and a better #2 hitter.

Okay, say we were to trade Garland and Konerko for him. What if we did that and got Dough Mientkiewicz(seems to be pissed off about PT and Boston is pissed off he won't give back the ball) and also end up signing Iguchi with the leftover dough. Also wouldn't we have money left over(a little bit at least) to pursue a mid season trade??? so PK+ Garland = Vazquez, Iguchi, and Mientkiewicz

QUOTE(Chisoxmatt @ Jan 7, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) How about Bobby jenks? Hell no. A Man that can throw 100 MPH and possibly could become a starter for us in the future or a great closer???? I'm not giving him up.

this guy has played way better than Garland over his career and has one bad half of a season and people are talking like he's esteban loaiza after getting a 3 run HR lead. He's ten times better than Garland and the league knows that he's better than Garland....saying anything different is just speaking out of your ass. Look at the career stats and you'll see. Vazquez and Garland don't belong in the same breath.

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_cws&fext=.jsp great signing. I didn't think Nen signed with us, but I guess he did. Anyway, this is great for the Sox. Speed and Power. I love it.

link just in case no one provided it: http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...s_cws&fext=.jsp Great signing. Now one more signing. Does anyone know about Nen and if we're going to sign him?

about jose cruz jr deal, i think that's to replace Berkman's bat, not Beltran's

I agree with Rowand44's lineup. You don't know if that was just a career year for Rowand and even for a career year, Frank had comparable numbers if not better up until he got injured. I don't see why people are so quick to put Rowand as a #3 hitter. He did good, but he could very well be the next Chris Singleton or Mike Caruso too.

I think Haren is going to be very good in the future. This year, he'll be a good back of the rotation guy and then develop into a front end starter like Buehrle did in 2000 when he came out of the bullpen, this year will be Haren's 2001.

I see Haren winning the 5th spot. They like him and imagine him as a future front line starter.

Don't know if this has been posted before from rotoworld

If we could get another Japanese player that will be great. It would do nothing but help our PR with other players. Plus, from what I hear, he doesn't suck at all.

I don't know if that's a complement or not, but i'll take it as both a jab and a complement. Anyway, what I'm saying is, he's a hard thrower with some great pitches. He needs to utilize the pitches and stop tipping them and he'll be all set. Garland is more of a headcase as we don't know what the hell he's doing. At least we know(based on JC's career) that he could beat the cheap teams of the league such as the Royals, Tigers, Devil Rays, aka teams that the Sox seem to letdown against and usually lose to.

I thought we had 6 mil with the money left over from the Lee trade, and we signed El Duque, how do we have more money than before?

I don't see Contreras getting traded unless it brings a Burnett or Hudson or Mulder. I think Ozzie and KW like his electric stuff too much to trade him whereas Garland doesn't really have any electric stuff at all. Vazquez can only demand a trade after this upcoming season I believe(which is why he threatened he would leave the Dodgers after next year if they traded for him). I honestly don't see Vazquez in a Sox uniform next year, even though I wish we did get him.

if we sign both great, but i get the feeling we get neither

IMO, thats the smarter lineup and Oz will prolly use that one too...o yea, about MB....if he isn't a good pitcher or w/e, ask the Yanks if they would want him, I bet my life they say yes.

good, that piece of trash deserved it

I don't think Uribe fits in the #2 spot because he isn't consistant and that's what you need from a #2 hitter. A guy who could at least hit for a consistant good average. The Japenese guy supposedly is that, but I would keep Rowand in there because he's been a consistant .280 hitter(at least may become better) and plus he has decent speed and decent power.

i wanna play wiffle ball up there
