QUOTE(bigred3535 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:51 PM) Look, the fact is Frank at his worst this year, was better than Carl's average play this year. If Carl were tp play like he did 5 years ago, he'd be a good DH. However a .250 average and .750 OPS are pathetic from one of the "strong" bats in the lineup. Carl can't take pitches and he's not a "clutch" player, so the Sox need a better DH. Carl's the best clutch hitter we've had all year.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) I really don't give a s*** what stat you throw out there from Baseball Prospectus, I've watched every Sox game this season and I've seen a Frank Thomas that hits a HR, K's or walks and when he walks he's not necessarily helping things seeing how he's laboring around the bases. I saw him on numerous occations have Pods on 3rd with 1 out and fail to bring him in. He was horrible at the small things. Sure he'd hit a HR after striking out in his first 2 ABs and then go ahead and pop out in his final AB and that was great, gotta love his HRs. But Frank was not contributing the way that this team needed him to. When he first got back for like the first 2 weeks, he did contribute and helped us build up a giant lead in the division but he fell off. I don't care what stats you wanna throw at me, I know what I saw. EDIT: I'm not confortable with Everett as teh everday DH either, a move for a guy like Huff is necessary.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:13 PM) No one is untouchable to me anymore. The only one I'd consider untouchable is Jenks because he's already producing for the Sox besides that no prospect is untouchable in my mind. Closest thing to untouchable for me is Bmac.

I feel bad for Frank but he has been pretty bad this year and I think for now we're better with Carl as the dh. However, Kenny you got some work to do. I liked having Carl off the bench and being able to fill in when needed, that just made this team so deep.

Voted. Good luck and congrats on already getting this far.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 29, 2005 -> 01:14 AM) and he sucks. Um.......No.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) The problem is that there is no way he would do better then Jenks... He might be able to take Viz's spot and thats even pushing it... As much as I love Jenks he's not a proven commodity. Baez has proven he can close, he'd definitely take Viz's spot and would be a nice insurance policy just in case things go wrong with Dustin's back. Hermy, Cliff, Neal, Damaso, Bobby and Baez would be a very nice, solid, deep bullpen.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 04:03 PM) Your right that they wont trade him to us. But which team can they trade him to and what will it take to get him. "A s***load" isnt really the answer i was lookin for LOL, what do you want from me? It'd take a ton for the Red Sox in the middle of a race to trade their cleanup hitter.

It would take a s***load and the Red Sox wouldn't trade him to us.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) Seriously..?? I believe I've read a column or two by him there, I'm not sure if he does it all the time but I'm pretty sure he's written atleast a few columns for them.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) Doug Jones.. where the heck is he these days..? I believe he's writing columns for yahoo sports.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) OK, I looked it up it is 3pm ET and 2pm CT, so I was right and you were wrong, as usual. I was almost positive I heard 4 eastern but whatever......you win this round.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) He was effective for how many years in Japan? MLB figured him out in 1 year, lmao. Nobody figured him out, he lost his control and that's why he got hit.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) 2 P.M central. i thought it was 3.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) OK, I hate doing things like this, but I have 2 f***ing degrees, one of them is a J.D., so I'm pretty sure my skill at reading comprehension is OK. Hey, I like this board, and everyone is normally real cool, I just didn't appreciate being attacked for what I posted I'm not trying to attack you and I apologize if it seemed that way but in his post he clearly wasn't saying the sox got fleeced and yes it probably was poor choice of words but still....people just need to read the whole post before attacking that guy. That is all I'm saying.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) Please tell me what you don't like about what I said? I'm not allowed to have an opinion? Reading comprehension is a skill you need to learn.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) I can't wait until the deadline's over, for the sanity of this board. I can't wait for it to be over for my sanity. All these rumors have gotten to me.

Basically......that was horrible.

Someone call in.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 02:30 PM) So basically this whole interview is just what Rodgers thinks and what we have all heard, nothing new??? Basically.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) All I hear is the Cubs game... Then turn on the score and not 720.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:12 AM) 1) Contract 2) Juice 3) Expensiveness Look at home much Sabean wants for Vizquel or Schmidt. Now think of how much he would want for Barry f***ing Bonds. If the Sox would want him, they would have to trade the Birmingham Barons for him + one of Carl/Aaron/Dye. Two things. One, how do you know what Sabean wants for Schmidt and Vizquel?? Second, you're nuts if you think no one would take a shot on Bonds.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Gload = Off the bench.....not a starter I also don't trust him being the starter on this team next year, not saying we should resign PK, but I believe Overbay is a FA after this year and since MIL will probably put fielder at 1st next year he could be an option. I can see Overbay getting the same type of contract that PK will get. Overbay's not a free agent.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 10:37 AM) You're way to overconfident. What makes you so sure? I have my ways.
