QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 12:48 AM) and maybe get him a few tiny things. Smart kid. On a sidenote I celebrate and get presents for both hanukah and christmas presents due to my parents being divorced and my dad being jewish. To be honest, I'm about the least religious person you'll ever meet so I have never even thought about what is being discussed in here.

He's making me look dumb without my mod powers too. Ha, I just got done reading that a little while ago. Gotta love the Pujols choker email at the bottom.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) Dewlyn Young.. Can I ask what your obsession with young is? He's good but Guzman is much better.

QUOTE(timotime @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 10:16 PM) garland for oswalt or no deal That would be a quick convo between Kenny and Purpura.

The Mariners are close to signing Jarrod Washburn to a four-year deal worth $36 million-$38 million, CBS Sportsline.com reports. ----------------------------------------------------------- For anyone who doesnt think Jon would make 12-13 mill with atleast a 6 year contract in the fa market next year, ha ha ha.

QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 07:45 PM) Shoot higher like Joel Guzman, Johnathon Broxton. Broxton matches Jenks with a 100+ MPH Fastball and a devasting slider (his best pitch). Guzman looks to be blocked at ss by Ceaser Isturis and at 3rd by top prospect Andy LaRoche. Don't forget about Furcal, bham. Right now Izuris and Guzman are both blocked by Rafael.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) If you put it in BOLD LETTERS it will still be wrong. Crede is entering his first year of arbitration. You go through arbitration three times before becoming a free agent. Let's count this out. 2006 = First year of arb. 2007 = Second year of arb. 2008 = Third year of arb. 2009 = Free Agent This is the correct answer.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 03:55 PM) I guess I don't pay attention enough. Correct.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) Only .290? Not gonna happen. BA has never stolen more than 10 bases in any given season in the minors and 17 in college, he may have decent speed but he doesn't steal bases regularly. He's got tremendous speed actually but you're correct he's not a base stealer as of right now. EDIT: By the way, I agree with the line in your sig 100 percent. That joke is the most over done thing ever, here.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 04:35 AM) But 12 pages is too damn looong.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 04:26 AM) Kenny knows you cant repeat the magic, you cant repeat luck, and you cant repeat the career years posted by Garland, Cotts, Politte, Hermy, Contreras, and others. The sox with all their strength using the most commong statistical formula (the pythagorean formula) were projected to be a 90 win team. They won 99 games, they overachieved. The pyyagorean is the most ridiculous thing ever imo, you can't tell me how many games a team is going to win by plugging in numbers. Sorry, nuh uh, doesn't work that way.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 04:32 AM) The Blue Jays are better than us offensively? How? DH: Jim Thome > Shea Hillenbrand 1B: Paul Konerko > Lyle Overbay 2B: Tadahito Iguchi > Orlando Hudson 3B: Joe Crede = Eric Hinske / Corey Koskie SS: Jose Uribe = Russ Adams LF: Scott Podsednik CF: Brian Anderson RF: Jermaine Dye > Alex Rios C: A.J. Pierzynski = Gregg Zaun Read the whole convo before you post.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Anything less than 5 million is a travesty. :headshake

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:17 AM) What's better than taking finals during finals week? Having your car broken into during finals week. Oof, sorry to hear that Krush.

I do not want Contreras going anywhere, the guy is just going to be a total stud this season and our best pitcher imo. He's to damn good to let go of.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) 1- finalize Vazquez trade 2- resign Contreras to 2 yr/20 million dollar extension 3- trade Garland/Crede to Orioles for Mora/Julio/prospect Is this another one of those Carlos Pena predictions where you just have a gut feeling for really no reason? Or is there some basis for this?

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 01:01 AM) I have no clue if this has been reported on here, but the Sox are only getting 3 million from Arizona. Source?

QUOTE(chisox2334 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 12:58 AM) nothing will heat up until vasquez to chicago is offical. So everyone calm down for moment Which would happen tomorrow.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:55 PM) haha, i going to go on a limb and say tejada since things seem to be heating up and i personally dont like blalock (tho dont have a problem with the trade for him), and id Love tejada on the team. I wouldnt say it's heating up, just being speculated as our many other things. I say Blalock is the most likely thing but I really have no clue with kenny at the helm.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) Okay. Let me rephrase. I only recall seeing it once in regard to Chris Young. That's why I thought it appropriate to throw into this discussion. Ahh, gotcha. My reading comprehension is shot after finals, I can't think anymore.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:44 PM) I only recall seeing once. That's why I thought it appropriate to throw into this discussion. Fair enough. I just see it a lot when you got the so called 5 tool player being discussed.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:27 PM) I have heard him compared, supposedly by scouts and front office people around baseball, to Eric Davis. Is it just me or does it seem like that Eric Davis comparison gets thrown around a lot?

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 09:59 PM) we're already good without him, though. we did win the world series! he'd be nice, but he costs too much, in my opinion. If you're talking in terms of talent that we would have to give up then that's certainly a possibility. If we're talking about from a financial point of view, Miggy is probably one of the better values in baseball.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 10:09 PM) I like Chicago better as a Cub town. Less Sox fans means better chance I can get a seat whenever I want to. Less fans=less money=no jim thome or javy vazquez this year.
