If this is what it takes to get Matt then fine, it's definitely overpaying but if that's what we have to do to get him here then so be it. He's one of two options left on the free agent market and he's definitely a perfect fit I feel for the sox, he's a strikeout pitcher and he's a groundball pitcher. If we just sign Clement and be done with it I'd be very happy with the offseason. I have no problem keeping willie out there now that he will be the number 9 hitter because him and Juan just might be the best dp combo in all of baseball. I think everyone here wouldn't mind an upgrade at catcher but I for one don't think a davis/burke platoon is the worst thing in the world. Ink clement up and overpay if you have to, jmo.

That "mystery team," is the white sox according to Scott Gregor. It'll be interesting to see where he goes, I hope to god it's the sox but I have a feeling it'll be anaheim, I'm getting nervous about the whole scenario.

Fair enough. There is no denying he came up with his share of clutch hits for us.....

Carlos was always one of the last guys I wanted to see up to the plate with the game on the line. He'd look just for the long ball and many times over swing and hit a little pop up to the shortstop.

I was actually the complete opposite. I didn't mind his fielding even though he did make quite a few errors but when he got homer happy and went on those look strikeout streaks, that is when he really angered me.

Adkins will most likely not even be in the pen next year, imo.

Yes, but the sox won't give a 4 year contract to a pitcher.

Feel better???

Yup and that's why Nuke already did .

Only make this deal if it makes your team better, no reason to do it to get good pr. I could careless if we leadoff sportscenter and I could careless if the national media thinks the sox are contenders. If the dbacks demand rowand then forget about it. I'd love rj but I still think the best thing to do is sign Clement and then go after Cora if he is non-tendered.

This looks like a poll you would post when you're drunk.......

Stevenson is still undefeated

4 o'clock hour

Ever heard of robbie alomar??? Aaron would be a perfect number 3 hitter, he gots on base, he can run and he does have some pop and ability to drive in runs. Remember robbie batted third in that crazy lineup that cleveland had in the 90's when they had a couple more guys that had more power then him.

Ya, ya I know but still........don't ruin this for me steve .

Aaron is definitely untouchable in my mind. He was our best defender last year, he was our best basestealer last year and he was our best overall hitter last year, the guy does everything, he's young and he's cheap, you can't trade him.

Kenny won't trade arow, he doesn't want me to change my soxtalk handle .

That would be a great trade for the cubs, imo. But it's only in rumor stage and we'd have to see how much money they'd pay.

Yeesh, I want Rj as much as anyone but that's a boatload to give up. First off if the outfielder is aaron rowand then move on, cause rowand has to be untouchable in my mind. I have no problem giving up sweeney in any deal at all. I really wouldn't want to give up damaso but I would definitely like to hang onto him because I love the way the pen is setup now. Garland would have to go, so no problems there. I think a deal like this would all depend on who that outfielder would be, imo. I'm fairly confident now that Rj will end up with the sox though. He's the guy kenny has really wanted and any package the yankees offer we can offer better, RJ will be pitching for the sox this year, I'm just hoping we don't give up to much.

Yes sir .

I was waiting for someone to make that joke. Real original, santo. :rolly

Awesome work as always goldy. Chimpy, I'm keeping the dolphins sig around for next year but as of right now I'm trying to forget this season. :puke

This team will most likely score less runs then last year but has a chance to be more consistant. Who cares if the cell is a hitters park, you can still build your team around smallball. We've had these juggernaut offenses for the last couple of years and it has got us no where, screw that, I'm tired of living by the homer. It's time to run more and manufacture runs.

I highly doubt it.

I concur.
