If we can't get either Wade or Odalis in here, I agree with YAS he would be our best guy to fill that 5th hole.

Not getting my hopes up.........

I'm thinking there is a good chance we see: Spod Juan Arow Frank Pauly Dye AJ Crede Willie

I'd say he's definitely the backup plan, however this is definitely a clear sign Aj is on the radar because they could have come up to a deal with Ben before the Non-tender date. So I agree with you cheat that he's the backup plan but in my mind it's clear KW wants aj.

Man....I would fricken love to get Wade, this is very good that he was non-tendered because atleast now there are two good free agent starters still available along with Odalis. I wonder if it would be possible to fit Wade and AJ under the budget. It seems there were rumors that Kenny was looking to trade for him, so there might be a pretty good chance that we take a hard look at him on the market. Wow, he'd be an excellent pickup.

No way. He'd be lucky to outpitch Jason, Felix, or Neal in spring training.

Meh, whatever, had to get that out of my system, I just hate that guy so much......

He's awful, he might have had a lot of wins last year but his era was high, he's an extreme flyball pitcher, that mixed with him coming to the american league would have his era around 6 or even higher, plus the fact he wants 7 or 8 mill......

I think they've realized what sox fans realized a couple years ago, d'angelo is a lazy f'n bum and you're much better off without him on your team.

Just asking jim, what have you seen from Jamie to make you think he's only a 25th man???

:puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke :puke

Felix is as ready as he's going to get. It's all up to him now to prove what he can do.

That's what I'm wondering, I'm guessing it has something to do with Odalis......

Yes.

Care to explain..........

I would say Pauly is average, Willie, Juan and Joe are all very good.

I would say, Jon's last 3 years have been solid, he's just not the dominate pitcher everyone expected him to be, now if he got moved to the Nl, I think he would be pretty dominate, jmo.

Kip definitely had 2 very solid years, right after he moved from the al to the nl. He sucked last year and I for one am positive if he was still here his era would be in the high 4's if not 5. Jon is a better pitcher then Kip, no doubt in my mind.

Hey, I criticized 2k4 not mk for putting the thread in there. And 2k4 don't try making excuses for your laziness. :rolly

Hey 2k4, get off your ass, do your job and move this to the sportsbar.

Why couldn't the defense help him?? Anyways I think this is a moot point, Derek is a boras client and he wants way more money then he's worth, I wouldn't mind him on the sox but it's not going to happen.

Kip Wells would be our 5th starter.

At this point of their careers Uribe is definitely the better defender.
