QUOTE(VAfan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:43 PM) He may, but we won't give it to him. I think KW's under some tight salary constraints, including how various contracts compare to each other within the team. Do you think they are going to pay a guy like Soriano more than the team captain? I don't. For the same reason, he wouldn't go any higher on Contreras. If the trade price is low enough, we might make a deal with the hope of signing Soriano or getting draft picks if he walks. Then the hope would be that he likes the team well enough to give us a discount. JR has continued to suprise us with our budget, however. But, i do see what you mean now. I, admittedly, would love this deal, if the participants that mac, jurko, and harry mentioned would truly be those men being shipped off. So i may be a bit starry eyed at being realistic right now.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:42 PM) in a huge ball park, in the same season where he's got a great shot to be only the 4th 40/40 guy in the history of major league baseball. and he...uh... yeah i can't top it off anymore.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) He certainly hasn't done much to justify keeping him up with the Sox. Although I think he'll be good down the road. oh i know...i just have a friend in the minors, i'd imagine its pretty crushing, everytime you get called down you don't know if you'll ever get a shot to come back up.

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) Why bat Soriano leadoff? That's alot of wasted RBI action with the HR's and his power imho.... better to bat him second and have Iguchi, BA or Uribe in at #1... why waste his bat? BA OR URIBE!??!? QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:39 PM) thinks he will command? He'll get Konerko money... maybe more seriously, he's a young dude who went nuts and hit fifty home runs in a sad lineup.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) I can't imagine that the market for soriano is so dry that he would resort to this deal seriously, that would be highway robbery. To me that kinda sounds like maybe the radio was shootin out a long shot just to maybe keep people listening.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:32 PM) The delusion may be there, but certainly not in the White Sox organization. yes, but the white sox aren't trading for pods. I'm saying if we got Alf and still had pods, could we not give the illusion that we still could use pods for CF and were clearing our BA problem? And then shop pods as trying to get some BP help. And besides, considering spods low contract...i still think we could get a decent return even if its dump. Maybe not a guy to help us now, but perhaps a future major leaguer

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:28 PM) If we got Soriano, he would be the new leadoff hitter. i know, i was thinking more along the lines of the people saying we were moving pods to other teams.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:29 PM) I think if the Sox are going to trade Pods, they should try to get a deal set up before acquiring Soriano. I would think Pods' value would decrease if other teams know we need to dump him. Who could be interested in Pods? i mean tech. it wouldn't be a given that pods would have to leave. Isn't there still delusion around the league that pods speed can work in CF?

poor guy...

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) Actually there's only a week left. Soriano would never clear waivers so August should be free of any trade speculation this year. this is soxtalk kalapse.

say pods is moved, is it needed to get another lead off in return? Say we are getting a big bat for the outfield...do we have an inhouse? I mean, i s'pose iguchi would be avg...i think he could be alright on OBP...but the speed would be awful. I'm just talking because i'm lonely.

man if we're gonna deal with a month more of acquiring soriano (i know its not like griffey, i know) i'm really gonna start cutting myself. i'm just kidding...

surely wcw can give us some news /green.

seattle, eh? is that kid untouchable? Is that RF untouchable? Are we getting a whole lot less for him than what is swirling in my head. *Head explodes*

man...things just got a whole lot more interesting today didn't they? Ye gods!

sorry. but to address one thing that 20 HR comment comes from the fact that i think he will add 20 HR for us, as 31 would be impossible in a 2 month stretch. (probably)

that was a really well written article. That guys got a new fan. Thanks for the link.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) LF okay...bare with me guys...i'm gonna need like a tim mccarver simplified explanation for my dumb ass does pods move to center than? Is soriano good in LF How much D are we losing for 20 more home runs ?

this could be a very stupid question. Does soriano play CF? i really just do not follow NL i'm sorry.

i am just kind of...perplexed. i am...i mean if this leads to a WS victory than fish yeah...but, i am really just kinda confused to the point of not knowing what to say. I want to say "too much!" but...i mean i've thought that for almost every one we've made. ... oh man. mccarthy gone would suck. ugh. Man. UGH. man.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 01:20 PM) To each to their own I guess. Can't say I know many people who really use a Mac though. i don't really understand why this would be a fault. I know a lot of people who own a dell...and they are garbage that crash on them constantly. Tiger OSX is just brilliant.

QUOTE(BoKnows @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 11:01 PM) Yes, I have heard it, in fact a copy was given to me. Think, Radiohead b-sides. good background music, but nothing special. I hope the plan wasn't to release this album to bring everyone down, then release a mediocre radiohead album that everyone will rave about. Well, that may happen regardless, although, when I heard the new songs on their recent tour, they sounded really good. I don't think they would plan to release mediocre music and trick us all.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Only in England could you throw a drink over the Deputy Priminister on a live TV show and get away with it. thats only cause we don't HAVE a deputy priminister haha

QUOTE(dasox24 @ Jul 21, 2006 -> 06:57 AM) Ah, memories of 4th grade. My friends and I were all obsessed with that song of theirs. 4th grade for me too, my friend even bought the album...with all the anarchy references...not quite as dancy as the single.

i have no problem with youtube, i was using it today (and yes i have a mac)
