You are correct. You also have to take into consideration that reporters are acting as go-betweens in this, and they have their own agenda. Very easy for a reporter to phrase a question by saying so and so said this, but presenting it out of context to spur a response, which in turn he could take back to the other guy. And so on and so forth.

Now I know why Billy Beane will not allow teams an opportunity to negatiate an extention with Hudson. It would curtail Beane's options significantly. The Washington Post is reporting that Hudson has listed 15 teams that he is opposed to joining, one of which is NOT the Orioles. So, there is better than 50% chance that any particular team is on that list (15 out of a remaining 28 teams), and therefore would have a difficult extending Hudson beyond 2005. KW better be careful on this one.

The Phillies just got burned by the Millwood deal, and that only cost them one stud prospect. They have to be gun shy after that.

Damn!

Even though our system has a s***load of flaws, I'll stick with the American way. Thank you.

snafu ... very appropriate since the military is involved. Systems Normal All f***ed Up ... consider it spell checked.

I've heard of being on the wrong side of a gun, but what's the "wrong side" of gun control?

Happy Birthday!

Bullpen - assuming we get Flash in the Vasquez trade. Shingo - Closer Gordon - Set up Marte - Set up Urbina - pre setup Hermanson - setup pre setup Cotts and Adkins - Long This looks workable to me. :rolly

Do you have more insight on Frank than KW? EDIT: Now I see where Ozzie is saying June. So .... Who knows?

The Sox have no reason to acquire Ugie.

What steff said earlier cetainly is appropriate here. :puke :headshake

Consider the source.

Kenny said yesterday that he expected Frank back sometime during spring training, fwiw.

That's shows you just how much information, and how update it is, that we get here at Soxtalk. Soxtalk rules!

Welcome to the board, and more importantly to the community of Sox fans. Your's is a very unique story and I have to give you credit for a very ingenious idea. To contact each of the MLB teams to see who wanted you the most, well ... Wow! That's awesome.

Because the Yankees are saying ... If they can do that, they don't need the money ... those signings made the Yankees take another look at that situation.

I know Delgado turned down $12 million a year from Toronto. Don't know any other details, not even the length of the deal.

I want the story to end. That's all.

Mike Downey ... from the Tribune ... is a voice for the Sox PR department? Ya, that''s real f***ing logical. :headshake

The first time Ordonez returns to the Cell as a visiting player, we should hold an Ordonez Jersey Demolition Day ... with a big sign saying exactly what it is ... in view of the visiting players entrance at the Cell.

That poll is worded in such a biased manner that you have to be a democrat!

If they do this, they damn sure better make him pass a hellacious physical. Something like ... throw this ball though that wall!
