QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 08:33 AM) Well if I was Ryan I'd be asking Doug Melvin not to do that. If they were trading Overbay it would be to make room for Fielder, it wouldn't make any sense to trade for Morneau, no?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 08:31 AM) Quick question for ya: will a player coming from either the Brewers or the Devil Rays improve this team so dramatically you would feel more secure in the post-season? When I think, bearing down for post-season play, I don't think promising youngster--something I would consider both Huff and Overbay. How are they promising youngsters??? Huff's been an absolute stud the past few years and right now is getting himself back on track. Overbay was very solid last year and has been better this year, both guys have proven themselves, it's not like we'd be waiting for them to develop.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) 1st you want Willie to start over Gooch and now you want stonehands at 3rd. Tell me exactly how we would use Huff??? Overbay would be our starting Dh and Konerko the starting 1B. Carl will get AB's filling in for Dye, Pods, and the DH. And you can't use Huff the same way you'd use Overbay??? I'd want either guy, I'd absolutely love either guy.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 06:22 PM) Well, if I came off as a dick I;m sorry. I don't feel I said anything negative to the guy. He thinks we got fleeced and we clearly did not. This is just my opinion. And Kalapse, please STFU. IF you don't have something nice to say, then don't type. Get the f*** off my back. Did I say anything to you? No. Did I ask for your response or opinion? No. He doesn't think we got fleeced. Maybe he didn't word it perfectly but some of you guys need to learn some reading comprehension.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 08:14 AM) I know this trade would be for the here and now, but would this hurt Kenny's relationship with the Florida GM? He seems to have good working relationships with most so I'm not sure if this would be something he would risk. It's a small risk for big gain IMO but I would still think its a factor. That's something I thought of and that's a very good point. To be honest I wouldn't expect Kenny to pull something like that but like you said the reward is very high.

Jenks proved something to me yesterday. It seemed like he ran out of gas in the 2nd inning and was able to gut it out and get us to the 13th.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 07:53 AM) Would Florida trade Burnett if they knew that he would go to a division rival? Philadelphia with Burnett could keep Florida from winning the division this year. They wouldn't have to know. If this could be done I'd much rather have Wagner than Burnett.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) That's what he should be workin on, oh and developing a cutter. I'm sure he'll get taught a cutter during the offseason and if he can harnass that pitch, look out.

Very nice to see Bmac starting to get himself back on track. I wonder if he's regaining confidence in his change(which is a good pitch)?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 08:46 PM) One thing about Huff is that he hits good pitchers hard. He's had some big hits against J. Santana in the past, and he had a monsterous homer against the stud young pitcher McCarthy on the White Socks. When Huff's right he's just a great hitter, he's been one of my favorite hitters for a few years now. I said earlier in the year it looked like he was injured, his bat seemed to have slow a bit but watching him now whatever was wrong with him before isn't a problem anymore. He's getting around on the fastball better and overall just looks so much better up there. Also while not a speed demon he's no base clogger, he can run a little.

God, I would absolutely love Huff. He's been swinging the bat like his old self lately and the old Aubrey Huff is a 30/100 guy from the left side. That's something we haven't had in so long.

A few of them might be getting a bit tired considering they've worked a ton the passed week. Jenks, thankfully looks strong and will probably be able to contribute in key situations much more often. Viz is just bad, and Cliff today made a bad pitch and got beat by a great hitter.

Just because I never heard the infamous interview(though I've heard of it) what exactly was said that made JR lose it?

QUOTE(Steff @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 05:05 PM) By all accounts from the Sox.. he sucked. Carmen doing play by play?? I know you didn't say it but he was awesome doing that during spring training.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Not only did Gload singlehandedly lose us this game... But I think it's no coincidence that this team started sucking as soon as Gload got up to the majors... Conclusion... get well Frank, trade for Huff... Just do something to get Gload off this team... We need to be the best in baseball again... And as long as losers like Gload and Harris drag us down.. the playoffs are a pipe dream.... You aren't very smart.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) Got anymore? Crede's awful.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) He gave it a couple of shots. At least there was a solid effort there and not half-assed. Good pitches were made, unfortunately.

Crap.

Cmon Jermaine, sincher up here.

Don't bunt Jermaine

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 27, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Ugh, timo pulled. As always, I'm right on the mark.

Ugh, timo pulled.

YESSSS

Ugh, ugh, f***.

Cmon Dustin, get out of this.
