Timo at 1st base? :puke Well, we knew he would be in the lineup somewhere against Byrd. This is why we need the Choad back so badly. Timo has never played 1st base in his career but he has supposedly been fielding grounders there lately.

Really? Is he crabby or something? I heard that he was pissed when he had to wake up early to shoot those new Sox commercials.

Ummm, Cotts started out as starting pitcher. Gagne also started out as a starting pitcher before he became a closer.

Chavez has a higher career OBP and SLG than Konerko. I would also value Chavez's defense and speed more than Paulie's. I would rather spend $10 million on Chavez than $10 million on Konerko.

I would too.

Chavez would be a monster batting in front of Frank.

Yep. And the team would get better offensively, defensively, and we would add a bit more speed. Konerko and Crede are base-cloggers.

Yep, we would be replacing 2 righty bats with 2 lefty bats in the lineup.

I'm glad we won the series already.

Well, Konerko's salary would just be replaced by Chavez's salary so we wouldn't be freeing up any money.

I also said that I wouldn't mind starting Gload at 1st base next season if we traded for Chavez and kept Frank for one more year.

Maddux and Glavine have great control. Vazquez and Gagne have great stuff. Cotts has neither great control nor great stuff.

Where's the link, DBAH0?

I miss the Choadmeister.

I'm not saying he is going to pan out. He may or may not. But hell, I'd rather have Chavez at 3rd base and start Gload at 1st base next season, as long as we have Frank for another year. Paulsy is brutal.

If we traded for Chavez, Fields could move to 1st base and we could say goodbye to Paulsy. Field's defense at 3rd base isn't great anyways. Unless, of course, Fields was included in the trade for Chavez.

Why the extra Po? Why not just Scotty Po?

This game also featured Kelly Wunsch. He struck out Jeromy Burnitz on 4 pitches. Damn, I wish we still had him. He is nasty against lefties.

Byrd has a good changeup and that seems to be the one pitch that Iguchi struggles with. Willie's OBP versus righties is .362 as well. Byrd has a slow delivery. If our speed guys get on they should be running almost everytime.

Okay, how about I like any 3rd baseman that's better than Crede. How many players does that leave? 29?

I'm not worried. We won last night's game. That was the game I thought we really needed Frank for. Tomorrow we face Paul Byrd, who is very tough on righties. Obviously, we will miss Frank but I don't mind Everett as our DH tomorrow. Then we have an off-day on Thursday and I think Frank will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Indians.

Yes, but I also like anybody that's better than Crede.

Crede and Joey B. for Mackowiak. Let's dump our garbage on them. Hell, they let the Flubs do it to them. Why not us?
