I'm not a huge fan of Fields starting for us everyday in left field next season, however if he does, then we better find a shortstop that can leadoff.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:56 AM) I'd say: '05 - '06 Marte - Cotts Cotts - Thornton I don't know the exact numbers but I'm almost positive that the Marte-Cotts comparison ain't really that close. I think Neal has allowed about 30 percent of inherited runners to score this year, while Damaso allowed a ton more than that last season. EDIT: And by numbers I just mean the inherited runners to score since that is what Damaso did so poorly with last season.

I like the Linebrink and Carillo for Fields. I'm still not sold on Josh and if we can get some value out of him like those two then I'm all for it. If Kenny really wants Linebrink, it seems as if since there aren't any good starting pitchers available that he's trying to make our bullpen the best in the league.

Freddy's bald.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) Worry about that in '09. We really need something pinned at the top of pht that just says, "JOE CREDE IS NOT A FA AFTER THIS SEASON."

Pretty interesting trade. I really don't think Texas gave up much at all but on the other hand I still don't see this trade helping them win the west.

If the Twins get in, I see no one beating them.

Winning would be a welcomed change.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 10:38 PM) Every comment, every idea just gets negative responses. It aint just the team that is having gyroscope trouble. Well what exactly do you want from Jerry Owens? He really has no spot on the team at the moment and I don't understand how he'd spark the Sox at all.

QUOTE(klaus kinski @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) I hope the no trade is a fact. Our pitchers are proven, maybe just tired. The bullpen with Riske & MacDougal is greatly improved. And we still have B Mac, Fields, Owens and Sweeney. I'd like to see some adreneline injected into this team by a guy like Owens A guy hitting .261 in aaa isn't going to spark anything.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 27, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) She is cute but really packed on the lbs. I haven't seen a pic of her in a few years so hope she got her weight down. She got pretty darn ugly imo because of the extra weight that she added.

QUOTE(HawknWimpyLUV @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 10:03 AM) Thank you for your support. I can't wait until they break away from the third place team in the division, it will be a huge boost. And it still isn'tthe right time of year for anything cause they were well out in front at this time last year. You uptight prick. Well you aren't going to last long here.

QUOTE(SnB @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 12:26 AM) Went to cincy in june, that was it. Oh ya, that too.

QUOTE(beck72 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:53 AM) Yet the A's would still need a SP for their rotation this year wouldn't they? You'd certainly think so.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 08:39 AM) There are no KW/Billy Beane issues that would ever prevent them dealing with each other. Despite being called a liar by a soxtalk "insider" a couple years ago when I reported KW's main target was Tim Hudson, KW later came out and said no one had called Beane more on any of his "big 3". Whether Olney's report is true or not, and whether if it is true there is much of a chance of it happening is another thing. The Zito reports at least have some credibility as I've heard the same thing a few days ago. Steve, a simple book that Billy Beane didn't write will never have any effect on if Kenny will deal with Beane or not. Dbaho, this is the type of player that is fine to rent because he makes your chance of winning a world series so much better than it is right now.

Win.

Well that would certainly be awesome depending on who we'd have to give up.

For me, it's a must that Brandon McCarthy is in the rotation one way or another by the time August 1 rolls around. Kenny needs to find a taker for Vaz or Garcia and just get the best value he can get. Right now, the Twins have 2 automatics wins and we basically have 2 automatic losses, that ain't going to get it done.

Went to New York in May, that's it though. I really just can't wait for this summer to be over and to get back to school.

He was out.

You have to try to get into 3rd there.

Well that was unexpected....

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2006 -> 07:42 PM) Not quite. We don't beat the bad teams as well as they did, but we were much better going up against the good teams. We beat up on plenty of bad teams last year. And if you're talking about this year, we've had our butts whooped by good teams.

See if Sandy can stay off the dl for this ab.
