QUOTE (striker @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 04:19 PM) KW didn't like to play Boras's wait game Thats what I think. He'd rather win his pissing contest than deal with Boras.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) Let's blow this thread up and never mention Damon's name again... At least until Kotsay or Jones strikes out with 2 guys on in the first inning against Cleveland anyway.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 04:10 PM) Levine saying Sox pulled their offer. Nooooo. Don't say that.

Yay. somebody deleted thunderbolts post. Chet wins!

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 02:55 PM) Dombrowski said he has an idea of when Damon will decide, but he doesn't want to say so they won't be calling him every hour. With Kenny saying he'll talk on Sunday, maybe he also knows that this will be resolved before then. Today or tomorrow would be nice. I know I'm sick of this. You have a link for that? Not saying I don't beleive you but i'd just liek to read the story.

Money is a powerful thing.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 10:23 AM) Wow, you're gonna hate him even if the DH situation is resolved by Damon? Call me crazy, but I think Kotsay is pretty great to have off the bench. Besides, who else will back up 1b? Yah I would love Kotsay off the bench.

bucket-of-suck how in the world did you find that?

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Feb 19, 2010 -> 08:59 AM) boras is doing what he does best and trying get more money. I hope that means trying to get more money from the Sox cause I think it is pretty obvious he wants to play here if the money is right.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 18, 2010 -> 12:01 PM) It's got to be the Tigers. I can't wait to hear KW say something clever about only having 50 cents to spend instead of a dollar. It's times like this where I'm sure glad we're wasting so much money on Rios. Don't even get me started.

Yeah, unfortunately I think that is about the worse thing KW could say. It's like he's saying that he will tell us why they couldn't sign him come Sunday when they report.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Feb 17, 2010 -> 05:36 PM) Yep. Probably $4.5M salary for the 2010 season then another $2M-$2.5M over the next 3-5 seasons. I just can't imagine that he would turn that down if he wants to come here and not Chicago.

I wonder if he means its worth 4.5 TOTAL with Deferals (IE like 2 mil 'up front') or if it is 4.5 'now' with more deferred down the line on top of that

I wonder how much Boras pays Rosenthal

Mine would be: Pierre Damon Quentin Konerko Beckham AJP Teahen Ramirez Rios I want Beckham knocking kids in. So I'd be cool with him 3rd and CQ 5th

I mean, if the Sox really want him, why wouldn't they just pony up the extra 3-4 million bucks. I mean that is nothing in the grand scheme of things if they really want him. We have to be more than 1-2 million away from Detroits offer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 05:16 PM) One less option for our DH is what he was implying. Oh yah I see. We're not getting a DH other than Kotsay or Jones so it doesn't matter in that regard either.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 16, 2010 -> 05:13 PM) More good news, as it sounds like Indians might be close to signing Branyan. That really doesn't matter. They aren't going to be good enough to win.

I'm not convinced KW is interested. Unfortunately I'm not sure we'll ever know the truth.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Feb 15, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) The Sox are not going to negotiate with Boras if they didn't want Damon. How do we know they are negotiating with Boras? Heyman is a good reporter but we don't know that he was right on this. More likely Boras was leaking that to get the Tigers to bid against themselves. ANd it seems to be working if 2 yr/14 mil is true.

Yah, I gotta be honest. I don't think the Sox want Damon. THey want to go with their rotating DH bulls*** with Jones and Kotsay. I think Oz really likes Kotsay and KW wants to show Jones was a miracle super smart pickup. I just hope Ozzie is held accountable when it fails miserably.

We just need way too many things to go right. Rios bounce back CQ bounce back Teahen get back to 08 form (or 07?) Pierre get on base at a decent clip after a good year last year. Garcia be good JJ be healthy Jenks bounce back Kotsay/Jones be decent There just aren't enough 'knowns' other than the starting rotation.

Dominated 24 in 1 minute but took the entire 2nd and 3rd minute to get

THey are far and away the team to beat. Their lineup is just incredible. They could go out and just run away from everyone like we did in 05. f***
