QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 09:26 PM) I bet PHG is banning left and right at WSI right now. And he's getting a pretty big kick out of doing so..........

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Jul 16, 2005 -> 09:25 AM) it seems like people dislike crede generally on this site. why? sure, he's more glove than bat (at least thats what i think), but why all the hate for him? is he that bad? why does everyone want to throw a wrench into the cogs of a machine that is running so well? Crede is nowhere near Gold Glove quality, so defense can be improved at 3rd Base and there are other alternatives out there that could be added to the team via trade such as Cincinnati's Randa.

Hey guys, don't get flustered by this start. With the Sox's superior depth, the team should pull this one out. At game's end, the Sox will still win 15-6 instead of 15-2. All the Cubs are doing is lowering the margin of their defeat.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Jun 22, 2005 -> 10:57 PM) I wouldn't mind him if we just ship them 2 bad prospects. He can split duty with Crede and/or push Crede to get his act together more consistently at the plate. I don't want Randa to be our everyday third baseman in the playoffs and/or series. Do you folks? I do. Randa has been far superior to Crede throughout his MLB career, both offensively and defensively. With Josh Fields coming up in our farm system, Randa at 3rd makes perfect sense.

Miley was a pretty good manager who became the scapegoat for the incompetent Reds GM O'Brien who opted to pick up losers like Eric Milton, Ben Weber & David Weathers instead of trying to rejuvenate the Reds minor league system that has ranked among the worst farm systems for years now.

QUOTE(VAfan @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 09:30 AM) Should the Sox be thinking about a really bold move as the trade deadline approaches? Obviously we've played outstanding team baseball to this point. If we can continue at this pace until the All-Star break, it is highly likely we'll be in the playoffs, probably with the best record in the AL and possibly in the majors. But that is no guarantee of postseason success. So what should the Sox consider doing to improve the team for October? So far most of the talk has been about replacing Joe Crede at 3B with either Joe Randa or Eric Chavez (or possibly Aubrey Huff). Other ideas have focused on the bullpen. Eddie Guardado? But I wonder if the Sox shouldn't consider something bigger that is likely to gain them more than just a microscopic improvement. What about Ken Griffey Jr.? Now that he's healthy for the first time in years, won't the Reds be willing to trade him for a couple mid-level prospects if someone would take the rest of his contract off their hands? Would the Sox be willing to pay the freight? Should they? I'm not sure that the Sox should, but I just wanted to post this to stimulate ideas that go beyond Joe Randa. What's wrong with Randa? Trading for him would address a real need with this team. Trading for Griffey does nothing for us and is actually harmful since it would burden the team with his huge salary. As of now, Rowand is a lot better than Griffey is.

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 09:02 PM) I just want to say that Mark Disgrace was absolutely abdominally horriscus tonight during the mlb.tv broadcast. I mean he said that the chisox were tired of being chicagos second team? he then was making fun of Frank and his injury ... then continued to mock shingo by saying that his mr. zero in now mr. long ball... and then ripped the chicago media for trying to make him say things he didn't want to say. I just want to say that Mark Disgrace...YOU SUCK! thank god he was on the CUBS...now we know why you are such a sucker! I mean you really pissed me off! Fitting that your name is "whitesoxmanager" since you mangle the English language every bit as well as Guillen does...............

If the Sox are to have any chance of winning the World Series this year, Everett simply has to be with the team. Trading him will remove a proven clutch hitter and also remove his clubhouse leadership from the team.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jun 9, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) ...for minor leaguers RHP Mike Bumstead and RHP R.D. Spiehs. Anyone got a scouting report for those guys? Is Mike Bumstead any relation to Dagwood?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 6, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) I ask now, will we have to trade more for Billy Wagner (who's in the last year of his deal), or Eddie Guardado (who still has 1 more year on his deal after this season). Why trade for either one of them when we already have proven closers in Hermanson, Marte & Takatsu?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 3, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) Maybe we should trade for Eric Chavez. What do the rest of you think? Trade for Randa instead. He's a much better 3B than either Crede or Chavez.

It makes no sense to add so much payroll and give up our insurance policy pitcher for a guy whose career BA is only 50 points or so higher than Crede. If you really want an upgrade at 3B, you could get Randa ($2 Mil. Salary) for only Crede and one of our lesser relievers, such as Vizcaino.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 2, 2005 -> 11:29 AM) I think we need to have Pods Gooch Arow then Frank in the lineup. Pods/Gooch get on base and hit to all fields. Arow has been great in the 3 hole. He hits the ball with power to the gaps. And will do even better with protection behind him. They would have to pitch to frank in this situation. Men on, and Frank who hits with power to all fields and lives on mistakes would drive in a ton of runs. Wrong. They would continue to walk him, especially if the bases were not loaded. In order to maximize the chances of his being able to get pitches in the strike zone, it would be best to have another high avg hitter in Rowand's place so as to increase the chances of a bases loaded situation when the big guy comes up to the plate.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ May 30, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) Oh shut the f*** up about Ozzie He keeps buehrle in = people give him s*** about hermanson he puts hermy in and if he blew game = people s***ting on him for not keeping buehrle This game was lost by iguchi (np, since he has been great, 1 bad mistake oh well) not by ozzie retards. The point is that he put Marte who regularly has trouble with inherited runners instead of Hermanson who has a 0.00 ERA. Hermanson would not have blown this game.
