QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) did anyone think we would ever try to compare prior and Garland before this season started. Come on guys, you know prior is a better pitcher, he has been unjured, but his ERA is still sick, and he got hit with a damn ball, it could happen to anyone. I would take him over Garland every day of the week. He will have an ERA under 3 for the next 5 years at least. He also pitches in the N.L. while Garland pitches in the A.L. at the cell. Don't get me wrong Prior is one hell of a pitcher when healthy but there's the problem he's never healthy. Garland has proven to be durable while Prior has been proven to be the opposite.

Dan, where'd you find those pictures?

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) its such a crapshoot, there is some talk that hansen may be in the bigs at teh end of the year, but if i had to guess i would seriously doubt it. that said, he will probably be in the bigs faster than anyone else, but id add gordon. i think hes absolutely a stud. think about pelfrey too I really think Hansen will be in the majors before the end of the year so I'd definitely consider putting him in and then I'd also go with Clement just because a catcher with some serious power, dumb reasoning I know but that's who I'd go with.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) I'm not really in love with Tracey, though it seems I might be -- but like you said, I think he can be a somewhat important piece to a bigger/better deal. I'm not in love with him either, not as high on him as others but with his stuff and solid numbers(fantastic before his last 2 starts) he'd definitely be someone other gm's would be interested in.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) They do world vs US but Gio was born here and lives here. He wouldn't be eligible for the world team. Interesting, I did not know that, thanks for the info. Jas, I remember Morneau was in the game either last year or in 03 when he already had been in the majors for a bit so that really shouldn't be an issue. But I'm with you I have not seen Gio pitch a real game, I've only see his scouting video and I'd love to have the opportunity to see him pitch.

I'd throwup if Tracey was traded for Castilla. Tracey is a good solid prospect and could be the center piece of a deal to get a very good player imo.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:10 PM) I'd go with that. However, they could grab Gio for the world team or however it works (Isn't that how they do it sometimes?). In 03 it was Cotts and Ring so it doesn't necessarily have to be a world and a usa guy. I'd go with Anderson and Bmac too they seem like the most likely candidates, however if they do want a world guy from the sox it'd have to be Gio.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:12 PM) This coming from a guy who started a trade for A-Rod, and a trade for Omar Vizquel thread? On the basis of, his opinion? And now Nomar? Unbelievable... Mueller has only had one good year? News to me. Since '96, his lowest OBP has been .333, while over his career he has averaged a .374 OBP. He's posted OPS+ of 140, 124, 120, 110, 109, and 106 -- only twice dipping below league average. Please... think a little before you type. He comes up with big hits too and is just a tough out, period. I know you guys love it when I throw around this word but Mueller is clutch.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:00 PM) How about his entire career? He had an exceptional 2003 season, but that shouldnt hinder the fact that he has been a good ballplayer for years. Ya, I was actually just going to correct myself, I just recall he's been real good these last 3 years then I looked at his career stats and he's been a very good hitter his whole career. .291 career hitter with a .375 career obp.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:36 PM) Bill-I-had-one-great-year-Mueller Have you seen his stats the past 3 years?? He's not a one year wonder.

I give Mariotti 2 more years tops in this city. The sox keep drawing more and more fans in there "inferior complex" and because of that attendance is going to be within reach of 85-90 mill within the next two years and then he won't be able to b**** about how people don't come to the park because it's inferior and that JR is cheap, guess what take that stuff away and he has nothing to write about. It sucks to be you Mariotti.

The sox organization is by far the best I've seen when it comes to things like this, absolutely fantastic job.

What, The Aussie????? Just playin, Congrats DBAHO, you deserve it

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 05:17 AM) I can't remember which thread Brad Lidge is mentioned, so I'll put this little blurb from Barry Rozner here: See, there ya go Jordan, Crede for Lidge straight up

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 04:33 AM) Bump! Looks like people are talking about this guy now. Kind of hard to look past those ridiculous numbers. He'll be up in bham as soon as Rogo is in Charlotte which should be coming soon.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 04:29 AM) Hey guys, is it alright if I bring Jason? It'll cost ya

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 02:29 AM) Ok then. I didn't read the entire thread. I just saw Marte for Mueller straight up. And who could we really get that's even 85% of Marte for a scrub like Crede? Honestly for a team rebuilding who needs a 3rd baseman I bet you he could actually bring a pretty solid reliever.

Does Corwin Malone have the stuff back that made him the sox top lefty pitching prospect a few years back? Are Gio and Liotta going to be pushed through the ranks or will they be carefully moved throughout the system?

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:44 AM) The move is counter productive. Now if we had a solid left handed replacement in store, i'm all for it. Fair enough but I think most of us are saying we'd be fine with that move if Crede was then traded off to find a replacement for Dam.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) Gracias.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) And my point still stands. He was referring to the false rumor at the deadline. Yeah, I recall that rumor as welll.

Juniors contract is just to outrageous yas, qwerty i see you're reading this thread what's the whole contract again?? Grif could definitely help this team out there is absolutely no doubt about that but he'd also handicap us quite a bit for years to come.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:22 AM) If not, that's cool too. I've grown to love this part of Soxtalk, lots of good information and posters. Easily my favorite part of Soxtalk.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) I had already said that it my previous post. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) That's why YAS said we'd have to replace Damaso if that were to happen. Blah, looks like you still got the quick fingers at your old age YAS
