No problem, sorry if I got out of hand there.

Mistreated?? You came on to wsi and said you demanded respect and called wsi the minor leagues of message boards, you got what you deserved. I agree with what steff said your not the best ambassador for this board. Also what do you mean when you say wsi is soxtalk's alter ego. I love soxtalk and I also love wsi, they're both great white sox websites.

I totally disagree about his trade value. Like you said he has enormous potential and is only 25 so teams will most certainly still be interested. I'd like to keep Joe around but if the sox were able to swing a deal to bring in a stud pitcher, I would definitely not be opposed to it.

I would certainly do that deal. I'll keep on saying this offense won't be consistant until either pk or carlos is traded. I'm a huge fan of Gload and would love to see him get some consistant playing time. Gload can hit for power but doesn't over swing alot and goes into left, leftcenter a lot.

No he didn't the Rangers and Mets did.

That would make sense but like you said neither of those two are as good of hitters as Beltran is.

While I'm not ready to give up Borchard, he can definitely be trade bait and I would definitely be in favor of that trade you proposed. Here's the main problem with that proposal though would Reinsdorf be willing to add 6 million dollars of payroll?? I think seattle would have to pick up most of his salary for a deal like that to get done.

I'm just as confused as you. This thread is pretty pointless and like I said I'm still trying to figure out what brando means about the gg thing. Brando that makes no sense at all.

I know, but he said he's a gold glover but not an amazing fielder, I'm trying to figure out what that means.

WTF?

Interesting, I still say Danny Wright for Pineiro is a fair deal.

I absolutely love Joel but I just don't think seattle would trade him this year.

I disagree with the sox getting steamrolled, they would have really really been tough in the playoffs, loaiza might have been a little gased but bartolo, buehrle and garland were all pitching great. I said I agree the sox should go and look for an ace if possible but it's just not that easy. I'm just saying it's not time to look to the playoffs just yet.

Well Said.

That's a pipedream my friend.

That's fine, but last year I thought if the sox got into the playoffs they would have absolutely been deadly with their rotation but they never got there. The first step is to make it into the playoffs then worry about the rotation. Trust me I would absolutely love to get an ace such as R.J. but that's going to be very hard to do. IF the sox were to make the playoffs I wouldn't mind any of the pitching matchups, our top four starters keep us in every game. While I definitely understand brando's point I'm just saying it's premature to set the playoff rotation.

I'm rooting for Joe very much so. He's been one of my favorite prospects for a while. I think if he can keep it up for a while he gets a call before reed because of the fact he's been in the system longer. Aboz the homerun and rbi numbers look damn good in your sig. Go Joey B

Brando can we let the sox get to the playoffs before we start setting the rotation.

To much right handed power. It seems everytime there is more balance in the lineup the more runs the sox will score. I'm taking this proposal back Benson for Lee was a stupid idea from me. I still think one of pk or clee must go but Lee for Benson was just a dumb idea.

Your right he bats something like .350 batting 2nd so of course I'm the moron and Ozzie tells me "I make the f***ing lineup not you."

I'm not that high on Benson either, I'd much rather get Garcia. Basically I was just throwing it out there for a couple reasons. I don't like Lee, he's just to dumb a player for me, but I'm not sure if you agree but I really think for this offense to be consistant they're going to have to unload either pk or lee, I through Benson's name out there because Pitt would probably be willing to do something like that. I'd much much rather have Freddy or Schmidt as you mentioned in another thread but I doubt the Giants would trade him.

So I was saying Rowand batting 2nd was a bad idea. I luuuuuuuuv being wrong.

Agreed has fielding has sucked, stats won't tell you that you have to watch him play. As far as my name goes I've always been a fan of aaron but I won't the sox to win and rowand batting 2nd doesn't give them the best chance to win imo.
