Since cheat mentioned guardado what do you think it would take to get every day eddie away from Seattle? Also cheat, random question-- did you happen to email M, J, an H today?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:21 PM) If Marte were out the door, rest assured that KW would be on the phone with Seattle trying to get Everyday Eddie. I never get too involved in these talks because they never have much credence, but this one makes sense. That being said, BHAM said their were lots of Houston scouts at the BHam game yesterday. Morgan Ensberg anyone? Nope Brad Lidge. Ok, I'll wake up now.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:17 PM) Perfectly fine with me. Let's talk. Marte makes sense. I'd imagine they'd have to get a third team in this trade, though -- I mean, they (the White Sox) wouldn't be able to keep Crede -- you can't keep him on the bench, he only plays one position, and doesn't even hit that well. So, we can start looking for a team that needs a thirdbaseman... Very true just for the sake of conversation lets say Mueller comes to the sox, Damaso to Boston then would you think Crede would be used to find a LOOGY somewhere?? That seems like that would be the scenario especially with ozzie cause there is no way with the way he manages the sox could go with 1 lefty.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:11 PM) Contreras did have an ERA of 3.18 before Ozzie decided to make Widger his catcher yesterday ya know. Right now he's averaging 6 innings a start. Hernandez has an average of below 6 innings however....... Jose will be perfectly fine I am concerned about el duque though, hopefully he can turn it around soon.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:05 PM) I'm betting Cincy would want less for Randa seeing as how they're not a contender. As much as I hate Crede, I can't justify giving up one of Politte/Cotts/Hermanson for Mueller. Those 3 aren't going anywhere and I'm fairly certain Damaso isn't either.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 11:00 PM) After his performances in the last month, I think a lot of people are now warming up to the idea of seeing Marte go in a trade. I definitely don't want to lose Damaso however if the right package came along I wouldn't necessarily be against it. Damaso's stuff looked absolutely fantastic tonight but he still got hit around pretty good, I was stumped just leaving to many pitches over the plate at this point.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 10:54 PM) You sure you want foulke back? I always knew Cotts was better then Foulke, yup we definitely won that deal

Bill Mueller would be a huge upgrade no doubt, he's just a solid everyday major leaguer, what do you think the Red Sox would want in return R and W?

Not much to say about tonight, it was just ugly. Anyways, steff was that you smoochin away on the kiss cam tonight?

I hope he gets healthy soon, we need him, he strengthens are bench a ridiculous amount the guy just does everything well, well besides play the outfield.

Alright I'm definitely in now, is it alright if I bring a friend?

I did not follow this trial at all but I knew he'd be found non guilty and my parents who did follow it thought he'd be found guilty, why?? Because it was obvious to them and the rest of the country that he was guilty, unfortunately because of who he is I knew he'd get off. Very Sad.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) I really hope they run his ass out of Chicago. Man, would that be nice.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) I'm not holding my breath, either. However, if he can get in somewhat of a groove, I'd rather see JoBo than Timo. As a backup outfielder I personally wouldn't. Jobo seems like the kind of guy to me that needs to get his ab's otherwise since he has a big long swing to begin with it's just going to get longer and loopier sitting on the bench but that's jmo.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) How many .300 hitters do we have in our OF? I'd say a solid .280 with his power and Borch is a starter. Well I consider Aaron a .300 hitter, anyways I agree though if Borch could hit .280 in the majors with his power he's without a doubt a starter, however even though I wish Borch the best I just don't think he's going to be able to, I definitely hope I'm wrong though.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:06 AM) Really our starting pitching depth is really looking huge right now, compared to 2 years ago. Honel's coming back in AA (although he still has a LONG way to go) and so is Corwin Malone, Sean Tracey's had a good year, B-Mac in AAA, Ray Liotta has dominated in Kanny, it's looking good. No doubt and hopefully Tyler and Wes can both get and stay healthy and show what they can do. Pitching depth has definitely become the strength of our system along with the outfield depth.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) The Warthogs are going to have a very nice rotation real soon. Broadway, Gonzalez, Lumsden (when he gets back from injury) and Wes Whisler. Yup, my friend is going to UNC in August and I told him he's going to get to see a ton of good pitching prospects when he goes to Winston Salem. That's going to be a fun team to watch no matter who's out on the mound.

Thread of the Year!!!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 12:03 AM) I saw you were in Cali this weekend. Were ya able to make it down to SD for one of the games? Or stuck in crappy LA the whole time (cheap shot at Cali) I wanted to go to San Diego but that was a no go with the parents. Stayed in L.A. the whole time now all the sudden my parents want to move to Cali, well if they do I'm staying here so whatever should be interesting. Anyways I went to Dodger stadium and thought it was a complete dump but the rest of my family loved it.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:43 PM) Sorry Rowand, I see us having no chance in the playoffs if we played the Angels (possible if Texas wins the division) or Minny in the 1st round. Can't play the Twins in the first round. Fair enough on what you said just a difference of opinion.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:35 PM) Uribe > Vizquel defensively. I belive Uribe has more range + better arm. Completely agree on that.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) mr genius Where/how should we upgrade our offense then? Please educate us. You know the concerns with any trade - chemistry, salary, age, prospects reqd etc I am TIRED of seeing this franchise piss away a great year. That 2000 season where Schueler did nothing except bring in Charles Johnson still hurts me so much I cry every time I think of that disaster of a post season. Do you realize if this Sox line up went against the Twinkies or Angels in the playoffs, they would most likely get destroyed in a short series with their ace (Santana or Colon) going twice? We just got raped by Shaun Estes tonight. The only team I could truely see as a possibly beating the sox in a short series is the Twins if every team is at full strength. If the sox can get into the playoffs they're going to be in fantastic shape imo. This team is built for the playoffs. EDIT: Don't get me wrong I don't expect the sox to walk through the playoffs or anything if they can get there, the Twins would just worry me the most out of any possible team in the AL right now. Of course the Angels or Orioles could beat the Sox I just believe the sox are built far better for the playoffs then those teams but that's jmo.

Sox R Us, I've always been a fan of the way Omar plays the game and to me and it's probably the same with Kenny is it's not the amount of money of his deal it's the length of his deal, I just don't want to be stuck with Omar 2 years down the road but that's jmo.

Omar's on a 3 year contract I do not want to be stuck with that 2 years down the road.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 13, 2005 -> 11:11 PM) I will have to keep an eye on him and Carillo and see what happens in their careers. From the current view, we picked another Felix Diaz. Maybe his 89mph fastball is magical and not straight. Or a few years later we will see..... His fastball moves it's no where near as straight as Diaz's.
