They said on baseball tonight that the dray players voted for blonde.

Miguel has been awesome throwing out runners, but he sometimes just has problems catching balls behind the plate that should be caught.

I think a great example of what can happen to guy when he gets moved from the closers role to the setup role is Latroy Hawkins, he was a terrible closer and now he's one of the best setup guys in the league, I'm not saying that this will happen to Billy, cause right now it seems like he can't get anyone out, but who knows maybe moving him to a setup role will ease the pressure a little, and help him help this team.

Disagree all you want. Youll be happy with his performance in the end. Right now, of course the easy thing is to bash the guy. I, for one, believe in him.

The problem is it hasn't been one game lately, he's lost the velocity on his fastball, the sox need a new closer, I think damaso or flash would do really well, and about billy doing good in october, he didn't last year, what makes you think he would this year?

I think it was someone on this board who mentioned koch for Weaver deal, that makes so much sense to me, I really think weaver would help the sox starting pitching and move danny to the pen where he can be really affective, and then make Flash or Damaso the closer on this team, I think they'd both be very affective closing out games, one thing for sure neither of them could be worse then koch.

Yeah, Kevin Young was released.

I'm not sure but I'm guessing it's going to be one of the two: Alomar Everett Thomas Maggs Daubach Lee Jose Crede Olivo/Alomar The other one that might happen is just switching everett and frank

What happened to sosa not talking to the media?????????????????

I wonder what was harder for Stewart, facing the Tigers or pitching in the AA World Series?

How about Jarrod Washburn and Joel Pineiro for some pitchers in the al.

I think it should definetly be Alomar and Burke give Olivo some time in aaa and let him develop some more, i think eventually he can be a great catcher, and for josh paul just put him through waivers, with the addition of Burke i think we can afford to let him go, and let willie take the last roster spot.

For all of those people who put lineups in for the sox, do you guys really see Tejada batting 2nd??? I think he'd definetly bat 5th and just bump everyone down.

I don't think Maggs already has the homerun title on this team. The great thing about maggs is he just isn't a homerun hitter he does everything, there are a lot of people that could hit more homers then maggs, if thomas comes back strong he can easily do it, Konerko, Clee, they can also have more homers then maggs. 25+ is pretty much impossible, that 50 homers off of all multi homer games.

Can you post the article on here, cause for some reason my password isn't working to get into the site, and when I try making a new one its not letting me, so can someone please post the article, thanx!!!!!

Yeah, Valenzuela was great in 2001, that year it seemed like every day that Mario went deep.

How could anyone here take Prior over Buehrle, yes Prior has enormous potential, but Buehrle won 19 games last year, and can easily be a 20 game winner this year, what if Prior doesn't become a good pitcher like he could be, I can't believe anyone on this board would take Prior over Buehrle

That makes two of us

I love Hawk and DJ sayings.

Alright this is what I got on this guy, I just ran a search on him, and I got some box scores with him playing on Birmingham in 2001, so maybe he just didn't play last year, I'm just as confused as everyone else, but thats the best I can do.

I'll tell you one thing it won't be Valentin, but I would definetly lean toward Maggs.

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.
