I was thinking santiago, just because he does have some experience and pitched pretty well last year also.

Yeah I heard about the rangers broadcast. It definitely made me look like an ass, I went to the game with my friend who is a rangers fan, when billy came in my friend was like this guy is going to throw 100 and I said no he can't throw that fast anymore only like 93-94 and then he gases it up there. I really hope his velocity is coming back because if it is Billy will probably be better then ever because he has learned to pitch a little bit.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet but if it has please delete it mods. Anyways I was at the game last night and when Billy came in he was throwing some gas. On the gun at the cell he was consistantly hitting 97 and I saw him hit 98 twice. I'm not sure if the gun at the cell is fast or not but I thought it was very interesting and it definitely through me off a little bit.

If Reed is promoted he won't bat 2nd. Willie and Uribe will stay at the top of the lineup.

It's amazing to me how much more this offense clicks when Willie and Juan are at the top of the lineup. I hope Willie will get some at bats against lefties so he can play everyday out in center and let arow be the 4th outfielder. Even though Willie got out in his at bat against Ramirez the lefty tonight he didn't look bat at the plate like Jose does against lefties, I'm not saying willie would be great against lefties but I think he can hit them descently and I think he deserves a chance to show it.

This is the Mark Buehrle the sox will have for the most of the year. His era should actually be much lower because of that game against the yanks where he just got blooped to death and let up 8 runs. Don't say this stuff won't fly against the yanks or bosox, the rangers are one of the best hitting teams in baseball and they didn't put anything up on him. Brando I know you really believe this sox team doesn't have an ace but Loaiza won 21 games last year and has seemed to regain his velocity from last year and Buehrle has been flat out awesome, I really believe by the end of the year these guys might be 1a and 1b. That being said I still am with you on wanting a top of the rotation starter. If the sox could get a 1, 2, or 3, then they are going to have one of the best rotations in baseball and if they did make the playoffs they'd be set up beautifully.

Konerko has been drawing a ton of walks lately, I was in row 110 tonight and I was thinking the same thing. Are you going tomorrow nuke?

I'm at stevenson in lincolnshire. I totally agree with everything you said. I was at the game tonight and there wasn't any fights, everyone there seemed to want to watch baseball. I'm going tomorrow also and I hope it's the same thing as tonight great game, no fights, white sox winner. I also have outfield seats for two games of the cubs-sox series, I'm sure things are going to get interesting out there but I hope not.

Cool, thanks guys, sorry for being a nosey sob.

Hey your not rex. Thanks, yeah I was looking for it on baseball america but they just had how many game he's been in the of. I'm going to ask another question I've only seen Joe the little time he's been up but do you think he'd do a descent job in centerfield if he played there everday?

Hey rex since your on this board right now so I'll ask you, so I can get a quick answer , do you know how many games Joe has played in cf this year?

Welcome to my side, I've wanted him gone for a while now.

Honestly I'll take my chances with Willie. I forgot who said this earlier but he's only had a few sample sizes at the majors hitting against lefties. His first couple stints he was hitting right .200 as a whole. Let him play against lefties and lets really see if he could hit them. Atleast with Willie he'll go into left field and stay on the ball a little longer, Jose only pulls the ball causing him to pull of the ball even more, making that breaking ball even harder for him to hit.

Aboz you have officially got me on the Joe Borchard bandwagon, I'm really thinking it might be time to call him up and let him play some cf.

I know I would've, I'm 16 but that's just f***ed up. I'm a little bigger then you cws, I'm around 6'3" 6'4" so I am not a small kid.

Don't mess with NUKE

Good analogy.

Either has Romero. I definitely agree with you though on Juan and Willie let those two play, they're both awesome to watch, good defenders and damn good hitters, plus the fact they both seem to be spark plugs for this team.

I remember his major league start against cleveland he threw a curveball to strike some one out that just amazed me.

I'm far from a Jose hater. I've actually supported him most of the time. I think it might just be time to let Willie and Uribe play the middle infield, to say the least that dp combo is exciting and I still absolutely love when those two are at the top of the order.

Haha Brando way to confuse the hell out of me. But I do understand what your saying there is so many different things that could happen to make either team pull the trigger or not pull the trigger, jeez couldn't you just say it like that.

I've been against trading Jose for the fact that he's the only left handed power in this sox lineup. But is it time to try and find a taker for Jose and let Juan and Willie play up the middle and dare I say call Borchard up and play cf. I'm not sure if that's the best solution but it might be something to think about.

Yes he is, he's better then Kerry Wood by far imo.

WOW, I find myself agreeing with you more lately brando. Anyways I doubt either side would do this. I'm just not sure if Maggs could play cf full time and while clement has been solid, he's been very inconsistant over his career and is definitely a health concern. Now if it were Zambrano instead of Clement I'd do that deal in a heartbeat but that obviously would never happen but either would this proposed trade.

Point made.
