Rowand44

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 03:35 AM) It's all unproven speculation. I'd like to see Rowand to NYY for Wang. Then, send Contreras, Marte and El Duque to Florida for Delgado and cash. Anderson can play cf and Delgado can be the DH or 1b depending on the Konerko situation. Buy low, sell high. Rowand and Contreras are peaking in the eyes of many right now. Now is the time to make a move. No way in hell I want to trade Jose, I know you seem to believe his value won't get any higher and that may be true but imo he'll be our best pitcher next year and it would not be smart to get rid of him.

Doing my best qwerty impression: They're FREE throws.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Is Kirilenko injured? He's only played 10 mins. Oh and I guess Willie's at the game tonight. He hasn't been online in a while, Bulls might have pissed him off to the tune of a heart attack or something.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) No wonder he said he gets a better read of the ball in CF? Rowand plays a deep center , so he gest to allot of balls in the gap... but he was one if not the worst CF's trying to get those gimme loopers in short CF. That drove Ozzie Crazy all year long, he even reinstated that in the playoffs when Rowand was plying to deep and let potetially tying and winning runs on during each playoff series. The bottom line is that Abreu gives us much more than Rowand will ever give us. If it takes for Rowand to go to get Abreu.. like DJ says it best.. Bye , bye... cya Rowand... give me Abreu any day over Rowand. Well duh but that's not the point. If you want to move Pods into center though then I'd rather keep aaron over bobby cause Pods would cost us a ton of runs there, but if Abreu were traded here for Rowand and others then Anderson is going to be in center.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 06:02 PM) You can go back to last season and dig out the same articles from a year ago that said the Sox payroll was going to be I know what's being reported in the paper, but I've also followed this organization too closely, for too long, to take everything that's printed in those papers at face value without filtering them through my own patented Bulls*** Detector© and drawing my own conclusions. Bingo.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 05:40 PM) First game I actually get to watch. yaya ^^^

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 04:53 PM) Yes he can. No, he sucks in center.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) you heard it here first: Ohio University! Top 25! Spoiler in the Big Dance! Meh..a lot of people are saying that.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 02:14 PM) Looking into my crystal ball I see Furcal signing with the A's. Once the reality of his value sets in with him & his agent I think the A's will look like a nice fit for him. Bobby Crosby says hi.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 10:38 PM) Ben Allen is not only awesome at basketball, he's ridiculous at Tiger Woods. Ben Allen: Austrailian for basketball. SPOILED

QUOTE(VAfan @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 01:42 PM) Why all the love for Abreu? He's a very good ballplayer, but he's way overpriced. Lets see, he's a 25 homer/100 rbi/.400 obp/30 steal guy, he's that left handed bat all of us have wanted for a while and he plays a solid right field. He would be such a perfect 3 hitter....I would absolutely love to have Bobby on this team.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 01:08 PM) Also if you are going to have Pierre in the lineup, he should be leading off, he's a better leadoff hitter than Podsednik. Last year Pods>>>>Pierre.

Yay, at 4:45, I'm the only member currently on soxtalk.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 09:10 PM) I don't see Kenny doing it simply because his defense in CF would be a downgrade from Rowand's and we still would need a 1B with a big bat if this were to happen(assuming PK is traded). Anderson in center, Abreu in right, Dye at dh...tada. That being said no way Phili would do Abreu for Rowand but damn Bobby would fit in on this team on so many fronts, and there is that extra speed ozzie also wants.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) Wow... just wow... If you learned to read I said he managed to get on somehow either with a walk or a hit every game in the post season... POST SEASON his OBP wasn't .329... Correct...it was .333

Wow, well done.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 06:00 PM) Equal. Exactly. Which means that Anderson projects to be not much worse than Rowand. His defense is as good if not better than Rowand's too. I'm not saying he'll hit 40 HR's, but the fact that we have Anderson, makes Rowand expendable. That's the whole point, IF we can make Aaron the center piece of a deal for a big bat he is expendable because of Anderson. Don't get me wrong, I love Aaron and don't think he needs to be traded or anything like that, I want him to stay but he makes the most sense to trade because he has value and because of BA.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) The sox paying $5 mill for a long reliever next yr doesn't make much sense Ya, well it's going to happen. The two year contract was obviously not the best of Kenny's moves but he wanted that 5th starter and atleast we had a major league starter for the majority of last year. The Duke proved he can be a pretty solid reliever, he might end up being some sort of set up man next year, wouldn't surprise me at all. I am almost positive though that he'll be here, he'll be a big part of the pen and the 6th starter in 06. Whether any of us think it's the right move or not that is what is most likey going to happen.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:18 PM) you'll all be the first ones complaining when him and Joe Crede are competing to see who can get to the mendoza line first in April... This coming from the person who want absolutely ape s*** on Gload cause he made one error. Nobody is demanding we trade Aaron but he might be the best trade chip for a big bat because of Anderson.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) That's mostly the rowand slurrrper. Ha, ya, but that just kind of reminded me that some want the sox to make huge changes because of the 03 Angels, those type of things make no sense to me.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:08 PM) Let Brian Borchard 2K6 Anderson stay in the minors... Joe Borchard was going to be a stud too... remember him... So forgive me if i'd rather not keep the underpaid guy who busts his ass every game and has never hit below .270 with gold glove defense.... AND IS PROVED!!!! Brian Borchard can stay in the minors... Trade him.... BUT DON'T TRADE OUR PROVEN TALENT TO MAKE ROOM FOR A ROOKIE!!!! NOT TO SAVE A FEW MILLION DOLLARS!!!! FOR A 7th starter we don't need... It's honestly so ridiculous that people are down on Anderson cause Borchard has been a bust. Anderson isn't Borchard, every team has busts and every team has guys that make it big, to not want Anderson to get an opportunity because of Borch is completely retarded.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:05 PM) If he cannot throw 120 innings next year i hope they cut him. He is potentially a big waste of a roster space in more ways than one. He's going to be in the bullpen, good chance he doesn't get to 120 innings.

QUOTE(Felix @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Remember, this team is also built around the clubhouse attitude. Rowand is a great team player, and one of the favorites in the clubhouse from what I've read. Kenny made a huge deal about not messing with chemistry at the trade deadline, and it worked out for him. I don't really understand why he would trade a clubhouse leader, while he thinks so highly of chemistry. That's honestly the biggest reason I wouldn't want Aaron traded: him, Joe, and AJ are so close and I just don't want to mess with the chemistry of this club. That being said if Aaron could be the center piece for a big bat you obviously have to look into it.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 03:56 PM) How overated has he become on this board? Almost as much as furcal and people wanting him for ten million a year. This coming from the guy who thought he was worth the big contract he signed.
