Sadly, this may become a paranoia filled witchhunt.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 06:17 PM) Mark Gonzalez said on CTL that the moving of Callaspo could be why it's not done yet. I apologize if someone had already mentioned, I'm lazy today as in, Callaspo is supposed to be part of the deal and the Royals are hesitating? Or is Callaspo supposed to be moved elsewhere?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 02:11 PM) for a guy that size and getting into at that age, his ground work was impressive, he needs to improve his "black mummy" stand-up some though. he went from in trouble to that arm bar in like .001 seconds. I mean, his hips swiveled just a bit and Wissell was done. and if Wissell didnt severely dislocate that shoulder I am amazed. his whole shoulder blade looked like it was pulled down

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 06:03 PM) So.. is this deal actually happening or was everyone jumping the gun on a strong rumor? still a rumor

why couldnt his name of been John Smith

QUOTE (qwerty @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 05:24 PM) I shook my head at that last statement of his. Talk about flip flopping. It was a well crafted rebuttal that I should have written in response to his previous post, lol.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 05:05 PM) Throw out the college stats, i'm not interested in metal bat fueled numbers. Getz's career minor league OBP is .362. Over two years in AA Getz put up .326 and .382 , In AAA .366. Averaging out Getz's OBP is the upper levels of the system we put his OBP around .350. Now, Getz put up a .324 OPB in the majors ,after dealing with a broken wrist which could just sap him of a lot of his strength and quickness. Now, given Getzs' complete lack of pop it's likely he will be pitched too rather then around. Allowing for major league improvement and an approach rather then a match of his minor league numbers, i'd suggest that .340 is very possible, if not probable. um what? are you now saying that Getz is likely to have an OBP of .340?

I think the Blue Jays are going to pull out the red carpet for Bay. They need to generate some interest, bringing in a native son who is also a pretty damn good player would go a long ways towards that. But Balta you are right, the BoSox and possibly the Yankees(depending on what happens with Holliday) are probably going to make a pretty strong pass at Bay

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) I know we've done this before, and the deadh horse is really starting to stink, right now, but i'll always contend that there's nothing in Getzs' major and minor league track record that says he'll ever have an OBP above .340. His trends suggest this. I alos don't see the solid D, or .300 or for that matter. I could see a consistent .280 not being out of the realm of chance. I do agree with you on his base-running and speed, but i don't think that outweights his deficiencies as a player since you keep pulling the whip out http://www.thebaseballcube.com/Players/G/Chris-Getz.shtml There are two years in his entire career including college that he had an OBP under .340, so your track record talk is a bit of nonsense crap, now that I look at it, Nix was all over the place http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/N/Jayson-Nix.shtml

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 04:31 PM) i dunno man, one minute he wants my account suspended, the next he wants me to speak my mind.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) For all the people saying something like, "Let's wait til the end of the offseason to decide if we have holes", can the Mods please suspend their accounts until ST starts? Please? It will help to filter out garbage posts in long threads like these. What if the person making the statement is, in fact, a mod. And what if the statement he is responding to is, in fact, overreactionary?

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) Oh yeah, so no backup SS unless we use Nix. You could really rearrange things and move Beckham to SS if things get drastic

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Has this been confirmed? by everyone but the Royals and the White Sox, lol

did anyone catch Marcus Jones almost rip Mike Wessells arm off last night on TUF? That was UGLY

QUOTE (LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 01:48 PM) Seems like a really slow time for movies at theaters right now. Now through about march is usually the family fare movietime, which means more crap. you get a good movie about 1 out of every 7 it seems

LMAO http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/yankee-stadi...-tomorrow-26827

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) That was my thought too. Teahen had a heck of a lot draft hype. him and buck were the centerpieces of the Beltran deal, werent they? That didnt really work out for the Royals

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:03 PM) I seem to remember giving you every fielding metric in the book, and you writing it off. All i hear is how great Getz is going to be, and all those arguements aren't based on anything other then what the eyes told you. And eye can decieve. really? quote me, I would love for you to do that. I barely got involved in your getz nix thread because you were so damn hardheaded about it. And now you are dragging the same s*** into this thread

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:58 AM) Tell me why Chris Getz is a good player. Tell me why he's better then Nix or Teahen. Give me some numbers, don't give me feelings. dont pull this bulls***. your feelings on Nix are the exact same. Plus, everytime someone makes a point in Getz favor you dismiss it in favor of potential.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 11:55 AM) It's that kind of crap that made Jayson Nixinto a legend on this board.. What don't you like about Getz? That he struggled at with injuries his rookie year? That he can hit for pop, steal a base, field the damn position better then nix? The intangibles works in Getz' favor. right back atcha

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:53 AM) Has anyone wondered openly yet in this thread if this might allow Becks to move to 2b? yeah, me. Post #7. BAM

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:40 AM) Sox won't confirm the rumor = Legit. Sox deny the rumor = False. There is something here. totally agree. I dont think this deal is done

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:30 AM) We need to go for it this year, and this isn't a big enough move IMO. Now we have a hole in the infield that we didn't have yesterday, with nothing really gained, except for a lower ERA for Buehrle the offseason started like 12 hours ago, lets wait out this 3 months before we decide that we have holes and havent adequately covered them up

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:22 AM) This move makes Beckham available if they deem that CJ and Nix can play second. Just saying. Teahan is fast enough as he is not a clogger. I think the Sox realized this season that the speed thing will not work at the cell. They need guys that can run the bases and have some power. This also adds a guy that can play multiple positions like Kotsay. This team needs subtle moves this offseason nothing major and I think they will be one of hte best teams in baseball. LOL, not really. Just sayin

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:09 AM) still winning the "teams with hottest wives" division race. by miles and miles and miles. Those new yorkers can keep Hudson, I want to look at Mrs Kotsay
