QUOTE(JoeH33 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Like I said, I really dont follow the Sox minor league system at all so I'm just going off what I've seen other people say. Sorry if I seem a little ignorant when it comes to your prospects. Just ignore SF1. Nice to hear your insight on this stuff, stick around for a while.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:41 PM) IMO this move just makes to much sense. Konerko is a FA after the season, and with Overbay, he would be perfect ot plug in at 1b for about 2 mil a season, with Gload backing him up. This is the rumor/deal that would make me the happiest. Overbay is just such a good hitter and would look awesome hitting third for us everyday.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:38 PM) Would Overbay be a replacement for Frank? Would he split time at first with Konerko? If so does Gload ever see the field again or do we ship him somewhere. What do you guys think? I LOVE TRADING TIME! If he's traded for, I think it'd basically be signaling that Frank's in trouble for this season. If the Sox did trade for Overbay he'd have to be the everday first baseman.

QUOTE(Balance @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:26 PM) 1. Using "joo" in the future will hopefully avoid misunderstandings like that. 2. Let's not get too excited about beating KC again. They're in the basement. Act like we've been here before. A win's a win.

QUOTE(JoeH33 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) The only Brewer of note I really anticipate seeing traded anytime soon is Lyle. I can see this trade (if it happens) working out well for both sides seeing that Overbay is much more valuable as trade bait than he is sitting on the bench once Prince comes up for good. I'll admit I really dont know alot about many of the Sox prospects rumored to come to Milwaukee in this deal but if we could get a stud pitching prospect (McCarthy) and a long term solution at CF (Anderson) I'd be all for it. -Also I just wanted to mention that went down to Chicago over the weekend to see the Sox/Red Sox play on Sunday and had a great time at the Cell. Although I still like Miller Park better, I thought the large standing room area in the outfield was a really nice. One of my main problems with MP is that there really isn't much space to just hang out an watch the game if you dont feel like staying put in your seats the whole time. Do you think Lyle could get traded this year or our your Brewers going to hang onto him until atleast the offseason?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) http://p092.ezboard.com/fbrewersfandemoniu...tart=21&stop=37 Link the to the Brewers fan site about the trade. Ha, Brewers fans seem to think that's the kiss of death from Melvin.

I guess I'm in the minority as I think Smith is going to be very good.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:44 PM) i'm pretty sure your the first person on earth to have a dream about lyle overbay LOL. I don't know where the hell it came from. It was all jumbled up with some weird s*** going on and all the sudden the Sox acquired Overbay Meh, whatever, I'm a mess, that is all.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:42 PM) :headshake You're pathetic. I know.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) i don't watch MTV. nobody should. ^^ I turn mtv on only when the new Jessica Simpson video is on.

By the way, I swear to god this is true, last night I had a dream about acquiring Overbay and yes I know that's sad.

Steve Phillips shouldn't be allowed to comment on anything. He was the worst gm in baseball when he was with the Mets and yet he's allowed to break down deals and gm's???

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:22 PM) I'm not saying that. But I took it as people making it seem like Melvin got raped in the deal -- and he didn't. Trade worked out for both clubs. Getting Lee's money off the books allowed us to get El Duque + AJ + Iguchi (or a combo of two out of the three), along with Pods. But Milwaukee still has a damn good leadoff man (Clark posting a .316/.378/.428 line), along with an OF'er who's currently posting an .856 OPS. Who said Melvin got raped in the deal?? I think it's of overwhelming opinion that the deal worked out fantastic for both teams.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) I'm worried Doug Melvin would eat Kenny for dinner.

I'd love Overbay.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) On tonight's game on ESPN, they said Texas is trying to lock up Texiera long term and if they can't do so, they might put him on the market because they Gonzalez waiting in the wings. Timo for Teixiera, take it or leave it Texas. Honestly though, Texas won't trade Tex right now but in the offseason if they still can't lock him up I'd hope Kenny would jump all over it. Have you guys heard what the Rangers want for Alf?? It's nuts.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:29 AM) I think the key quote is "The Giants had Ted Uhlaender, one of their top talent evaluators Bingo, that means the interest is mutual.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) Zito and Harden will be fresh. Zito's thrown over 200 innings the past 4 years and will do it again this year, barring injury. Harden just eclipsed 90 innings in his last start. And Blanton will probably be "fresh" enough for most of September, having only thrown 109.2 innings up to this point. Haren could be, and Saarloos has already thrown more innings this year then any year in his career. And how much would that matter if they have a 5-7 game lead in the Wild Card? The Twins have found no spark whatsoever, and both Baltimore and New York's pitching staffs have been very inconsistent or even flat out bad this year. Remember how you agreed with me in April(or May) that the Sox and the Twins were the two best teams in the A.L., just making sure.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:31 AM) If Dave Littlefield has proven one thing over the past however many years he has been the GM of the Pirates, it's that he does not make the right moves. One of his lone good moments was the Ritchie trade. And then he redeemed himself for that deal by essentially giving the Sox Marte(given, Seattle had also given up on Marte, but why deal an arm like Marte when you are rebuilding anyways? Just doesn't make sense to me in hindsight) That organization's fascination with McClendon and Littlefield is beyond me. I'm a fan of Mcclendon. Anyways as far as the Tigers go if they add another starting pitcher in the offseason and find some consistancy in their bats then they're going to be pretty good, pretty soon. For whatever reason they have a lot of guys in their lineup who are putting up good individual seasons but they don't score a lot of runs. They're close imo but they're atleast a year away from making a serious run at the playoffs.

QUOTE(palesox38 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 11:18 PM) They probably are waiting for a lefty, I've heard Billy Wagner, Eddie Guardado, Scott Eyre, and Ron Villone. I truely believe Kenny won't let Marte go with out another lefty lined up. Wagner or Guardado would obviously be awesome but I'm not sure if you'll see either of them dealt although these things change daily. I personally love the idea of acquiring Eyre, with the way Ozzie loves playing the matchup game and with how good Eyre is against lefties I think he'd be an absolute perfect fit.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:48 PM) Oh boy, Chris Young mentioned, that's not going to please a lot of people. I'd love Eyre, if we need another LHP, but I don't want to give up a Young or B-Mac for him. I highly doubt Young or Bmac would be included in a deal for Eyre. Schimdt though is an entirely different story.

If that Burnett deal goes through with Damaso and bmac, I guarantee the Sox have Eyre or another lefty reliever(I just saw some article today that mentioned afeldt) lined up. Hell, Burnett and Eyre would make this pitching amazing to be quite honest with you guys. Getting to Schimdt as you guys know I still felt like he had plently left in the tank when he got killed by Arizona I believe. Every outing he's getting stronger and if I had my way he'd be the starting pitcher to get if possible. Should be an interesting 6 days, all I know is I really want to the 31st to get here all these rumors are making me crazy.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 21, 2005 -> 02:38 AM) One thing about Kenny is you know he's always looking. If something makes sense he'll pull the trigger but he's not going to dismantle the 25 man roster of the best team in baseball, just doesn't make any sense. Thought I'd bump this. Per Bruce Levine, Kenny and 3 other scouts were in attendance at wrigley today to watch Schmidt pitch. I didn't watch the game but by numbers he was quite impressive. EDIT: I have no clue why I quoted my old post.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 10:31 PM) Ive learned to live with the Eat s*** because of Nuke and all his awesomeness.... but using the word Jew the way you did is wrong and unnacceptable and shouldnt ever be used. Im not even jewish and i find that completely wrong.. you lost a lot of respect. He didn't mean anything by it. Jew a lot of times is slang for "you" online. I'm part jewish and I could care less. Doesn't mean anything, doesn't matter.
