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.

I think they'll cover...... I also think Wisconsin will beat Georgia and Tennessee over Texas A&M.

Can't Wait

I was almost positive it was you who started this thread when I first saw the name of it.

Willie is fine at 2nd base as long as he is batting 9th with addition of spod that's what he's going to do. He is a ten times better defender then Alf and with what we'd have to give up to get Soriano I'd much rather keep willie there.

Trading huddy might have been the right thing to do but don't you think they could have been a reliever or two away from being a legitimate world series contender???? Why not make a run at winning the series and then rebuild. I can see what Billy was thinking when he traded huddy(even though I think he should have still tried to win this year) but trading Mulder makes absolutely 0 sense to me.

Mulder has been getting better each year up until the 2nd half of this year. If he gets this hip issue taken care of his era will be under 3 for St. Louis. Also, yes I do believing having an era under 4 in the american league is pretty solid but like I said he continues to get better when healthy.

Sox. They have nobody on their roster that has proved to be a good closer. It's can't be Dotel he is awful as a closer. If Garcia or Street can't step in as the closer this year then their bullpen will still have issues closing out games.

Just because they're talented doesn't mean they are going to be as good as Mulder and Huddy, I'd be willing to bet that none of the pitchers they got will come close to putting up the numbers that Mark and Tim did.

You know what Aj, I could put together a lineup of minor leaguers that could make the sox a power house in a couple of years too, I think it's ridiculous for him to rip this team apart when they could have been a relief pitcher or two from having a legitimate shot at winning the world series.

I'm sure as hell happy we aren't Oakland, I'm much happier with our situation then there's.

There is no doubt, I truely don't believe what I'm reading from some people.

That has nothing to do with this argument........

So, because they have a good system they're going to win the world series in 07?? Their system still isn't the best around and if I recall having the best system in 2000 hasn't won a world series for us yet.

A lot of people are saying that Billy didn't want trade them in the american league.

Yes, sir.

Was the 2007 world series champs thing meant to be in green???

It isn't the last year of Mark's contract.

Mulder has another year left on his contract after this year. Calero is a solid reliever and I think that's what Haren is also going to end up being, I don't think he'll ever be a good big league starter, jmo. I'm not to familiar with the catcher they got even though iirc he is pretty good but Kendall is under contract for a couple more years, to me this trade makes no sense. Like Keith said, prospects are prospects, who knows how they'll turn out.
