QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:09 PM) What if you had Pierre bat 9th? 8th-Uribe 9th-Pierre 1st-Podesdnik 2nd-Iguchi ....... I wouldn't mind that at all but where are you saying Juan is playing?? Jermaine dh'ing with aaron in right or are you saying we'd be getting rid of Aaron?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) Ozzie has said a few times that he wants to add more speed at the top of the order, right? He just said that he wants to add more speed, period. There are only a few players out there I think that would bump Tad from the 2 hole if they landed here.

QUOTE(bighurt2719 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 07:41 AM) money says you wanted to trade crede for vinny castilla midway through this last season. number crunch that! Wrong poster you got there.

Congrats soxy This promotion makes so much more sense compared to the last one.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:27 AM) Look at his 1999, 2000, and 2004 numbers. He never has had 100 rbi's in his career and has had 25 homers once, that's why I made that comment.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) and when he's playing very well all around, he's a .320 25 110 .900 type player...which is huge. You just pull these numbers out of your ass?

Happy bday Jim.

@ Walker.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 09:56 PM) Yeah Indy just went on a nice 6 point run. Anyone notice how Jason Williams is already on the bench in the 4thQ because he doesn't play defence? Nothing's changed there I see. GP is playing well too, that probably has something to do with it also.

This probably belongs in ATH but I understand why you put it in here. Anyways, I wish Jamie nothing but the best, I really hope he gets an opportunity there.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) Boston needs a pitching staff. They could use a guy to hit behind Ortiz no doubt...but they need a pitching staff. I'm sure Paul would love the bench during interleague as well.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:57 PM) Teacy's Holy crap, could you butcher his name any worse?

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:56 PM) Having a baby. That's no excuse Congratulations.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) What else do you think we're meant to talk about in the off-season? Chad Tracy and only Chad Tracy.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 07:47 PM) The funny thing is, I probably won't post tomorrow What..are you planning on dying tomorrow?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 04:41 PM) Yea.. well I'm gonna raise you a screw Pauly and get Sweeney Let me guess...for Willie Harris?

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Frank is Healthy ok, I said it. Now what? Boo.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Explain why? They have a lot of money - new cable network starting. They need a big bat, and they'd love to fill in that bat at 1b. I wouldn't want to go to NY either, but if they're the only ones meeting his price, which they may very well be... I don't think Paul wants to go to an east coast team, I think the Mets are going to be first looking at the Billy Wagners of the world, also I think Manaya(sp?) will get caught up in the whole manny situation and not make a big play at Paul. I obviously could be wrong I just dont see him ending up on the mets.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) I wouldn't count the Mets out just yet. I don't think there is a chance that he goes to the Mets.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 04:19 PM) Red sox are out of the hunt for konerko and were never players for him in my opnion anyway. Agreed here, it'll be us or the Angels.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) AH HA!! So it's Ozzie that hates Paul, not Frank... or maybe it's Frank also. They are all ganging up on Paul... they all hate him. It's all Paul's fault, haven't we been over this?

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) We need power. We're losing 40 homers. Contrary to what the media wants you to believe, we won because we hit a lot of homers, and caught everything and anything hit in the park, and pitched awesome. And you know what -- I love it. Ozzie consolidated the OBP we did have at the top of the order with Iguchi and Podsednik, and, other then maybe sticking with Everett too long in the three spot, he did an awesome job of lineup construction. But, I'm getting off topic. Even if Rogo and Gload were to have a peak year next season, I doubt either of them would reach 20 homers. Lots of doubles, but we need lots of power. Long story short, I'm rooting hard for Carlos Delgado. He's a better hitter than Konerko has been, and is that big lefty bad we really need. He had a .981 OPS last year, playing half his games in Florida, along with the other notorious pitchers parks of the NL East (RFK, Shea). He'd be such a great pickup... For the most part in the playoffs your right we did just hit the crap out of the ball and hit a bunch of homeruns. However, what also made this team so good is that if we did have to manufacture a run in a close ball game we were able to do it(game 2 of the alcs and game 4 of the series come to mind). That being said I agree with you if Paul leaves we have to find another power bat for the middle of the order, can't just throw Ross out there and expect AJP to hit 4th or something like that.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) Daigle is gone because well...he's not very good, Rogo is still a year away if he ever gets a shot to be a starter and as much as I like Gload there is no chance the sox give him a shot to be an everyday player. If Paul is gone you'll either see a trade for a first baseman or Jermaine moving to first and finding another power bat in the outfield. I thought I did QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 02:07 PM) Someone tell this guy that Daigle is no longer with the sox organization, thanks

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 01:59 PM) OK, so I don't watch these guys play much (other than Gload), but... Daigle is not very good? He just won an award that is basically MVP in his league! I don't know much about Rogo, but the one scouting report I found was awfully good. And Gload is probably ready, though he apparently has some personality issues to work out with Ozzie. Daigle was a 26 year old who dominated high A ball and then struggled in aaa, not very impressive. Rogo most likely is going to have to develop some more power if he ever gets a shot to be an everday player in the major leagues and Ross isn't a prospect.
