Where's Jiminez? I think he needs to be a huge impact, since he is going to be leading off, Frank is a huge part, but we already have a lot of power, the sox need Jiminez to step up big.

I think Rauch is going to have a great year this year, but I do think it would benefit him to start the year in AAA, and get the ball every 5th day, the Sox should start him in AAA and bring him up when the 5th starter gets the ball regularly, if Rauch gets his chance this year, I think he's going to win ROY.

I voted for Jiminez because he scares me the most, because more depends on him then anyone else, because he is going to be the leadoff man.

The Sox are definetly going to hit Valentin 2, but I agree with you guys I would love to see Rowand be the 2 hitter, and I think he would be the sox best choice batting 2nd, but I just don't think it's going to happen unfortunatly

He must know he can't make the yankees 7 man rotation.

I would never ever trade Magglio, I believe he is the 2nd best outfielder in the league behind bonds, and as far as lee and dunn, this year is going to be a break out year for lee, there is definetly NO WAY I WOULD EVER DO THIS DEAL

I highly doubt Porzio has any chance, even if some how wunsch does get traded, I think the we are more likely to see Munoz get a chance in the pen over Porzio, and if the sox do sign Rogers, Rauch will be starting the year in AAA, not in the pen.

I dont think KW will trade Rauch, he was in the Colon rumors as late as the same wednsday we traded for Colon, I think this is just a rumor, but if this deal happened, I wouldn't expect to see Rauch go, I would think it would be someone else. ATLEAST I HOPE!!!!!!

Rogers would be a great pick up for the sox, not only is he a really good pitcher, he provides depth to the rotation, with Rogers at the 5, and rauch in aaa, if anyone got injured I would feel real confident about having Rauch step in and due a good job in the majors.

Altough I would obviously love to have Tejada on the southside, lets be realistic it's not going to happen, obviously Tejada is a huge upgrade over Valentin, but Tejada and Colon in the same offseason, that would be amazing, but it's definetly not going to happen.

Manuel did say as of now Sandy would be the catcher, but I think that he might have said that because Sandy was sitting right next to him, I'm pretty sure that Olivo will be the opening day catcher.

I don't know how anyone here can take Sosa over Maggs, yes we all know sosa will hit more homeruns, because maggs doesnt take steroids, but Maggs always has a better average, less strikeouts, better defense, better baserunning, and this year he had more rbi's which i think is from now on going to be a trend. DEFINETLY MAGGS OVER SOSA!!!!!!
