Baggs.... More cannon fodder for you on the Durham deal. Look at what we gave up to acquire a 35 year old 2B today as compared with what we received for a younger and still proven effective All Star caliber 2B lasy year.

I believe Borchard is 25. But I'm not going to look it up for you. LOL

I'm not worried about the chemistry. Robbie will be here with big brother to kick his ass if needed. And if Showalter endorsing Everett to that degree, I'll take my chances.

Let's hope the Rangers opt for quantity over quality.

I'd have to agree with you all. If the Sox don't win the Central, surely JM will be history. The front office has addressed the needs of the team. It's up to JM now.

I vote for the 83 staff over 93. But you'd have to look at the mid 60's teams for the best one, imho.

Cincinnati? St. Louis? ... Those are two teams desperate for starting pitching. I'd think San Diego would be interested in Weaver as well.

Jiminez is such a "solid" major leaguer that he is probably going to get his unconditional release.

Ok, people, I'm outta here for a few hours. It's been an interesting day in White Sox country. Later.

Everett, Lee, Maggs, Rowand, Harris, Daubach, Rios. Someone has got to go, folks. That's too many outfielders.

That ought to make the clubhouse happy.

Has there ever been a trade made by the Sox that everybody thought was great? There were even dissenting opinions on the Colon deal, IIRC.

I'd say that at this time, yes. They are still kicking around one minor leaguer. If they cannot agree.......

He said ... and I quote ... "I am sure Niel Cotts is part of this deal."

No... I heard Gammons say He was sure Cotts was part of the deal. He literally said he was sure.

I quoted EXACTLY what I heard, Rex.

It is speculation, yes. But what I heard Gammons say was "I'm sure Neil Cotts is part of this deal.

We still don't know who else is involved in that deal.

3 minor leaguers. Gammons says he's sure Cotts is in the deal. f***!

Everett!

The Red Sox pissed them off! LOL

WGN news opened there show with this teaser: "Baseball players Robbie Alomar and Mike Lowell make news on the Chicago baseball scene, but only one of them will be playing here." Now, how Lowell is making news, I haven't a clue. Yet.

Cubs lose 4-3 on a 2 out RBI single in the 9th by Mike Lieberthal. Alphonsucker was the victim.

We've had a tendency to play down to the level of our competition. Let's hope that is behind us now, like the lethargic Sox we saw early.
