QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 01:44 PM)Let's not forget about the other side of that coin...we'd also be replacing Crede with Gload in the order.
this is a bad thing?

damn Rock, you read my mind

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 01:36 PM)His season high for BA is .288, yet he will make 10+ million a year for the next 3 years...
Well, Pauly is currently making 8 million a year and his career BA is .278. I dont see how this is so bad, theoretically you are trading one powerful bat for another(if Konerko is allowed to walk), PLUS you have a very good defensive third basemen in the deal.
My only question in the deal is who goes to the A's. Beane is historically good at getting something for nothing.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 12:44 PM)I don't really like his attitude. He's been on the A's his whole career and they've always contended. Now, they hit their first rough season and he sounds like he's already got one foot out the door.
, Mr. Chavez.Think about all of the teamates that have been interchanged around him since he started with the team, though. Im sure in the back of his mind he feels somewhat jilted that the A's havent gone deeper into the playoffs, or even won the whole thing at some point. But every year Beane cinches it up and is forced to deal one piece or another for the future. Maybe Chavez is at a point in his career where he wants a little more stability on the field around him, and he doesnt see that happening with the A's anymore.
I dont even see them as having a rough season, either. they always seem to start slow and have a huge second half, only to putter out in the playoffs.

QUOTE(Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 10:02 AM)From today's Tribune:
"I think from everyone's standpoint, everyone gets along well" said Buehrle. "Pitchers like the hitting coach and the hitters like Coop. I won't mention any names, but during my first years here there was a hitting coach who couldn't stand pitchers and he was going off on us. We didn't really like him, either."
Checking past media guides, the likely suspects are either Von Joshua or Gary Ward.
This also says something about the control the manager had over his staff, I think.
That speaks volumes about Manuel's "control" of the White Sox in his tenure. What a crock. Why would a hitting coach yell at a pitcher for any reason outside of personal reasons?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:07 AM)DJ once told this story about Joe Carter having so many RBI's with such a low average and threw out some strange numbers. I looked it up later that evening, and he had exagerrated by about 15%.
I remember that. I think he said that Joe Carter batted .215, had over 30 homeruns, and drove in 120. I thought to check it myself, but then realized that it wasnt worth my time to check into everything that DJ says. That could be a full time job.

keep on winnin.
There is no better way to draw fans than to put a great product on the field.
That is unless you trick everyone into believing that if you hang out and get wasted at a park 80 times a year, regardless of the product on the field, that it is a good time.
-
QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 1, 2005 -> 07:03 AM)47 homers. Yes he would have hit that in our "loaded" line-up according to some.
LOL, Anthrax would have Russ Ortiz penciled in for 250 strikeouts too.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:48 PM)Fine, I can accept your opinion.
By the way, 20-2 now.
just out of random curiosity, are you the youngest child Jabroni? That last little "20-2" stinger is right out of my brothers book.
-
QUOTE(I-HATE-CREDE @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:46 PM)Do you want to split hairs?
Nah, not right now. I think watching Nitetrain and Jabroni split hairs for over 15 pages has filled my quota for the day.

there used to be this statement that applied to the argument you two are having.
"We agree to disagree"
move along folks, nuthin to see here. Just two people arguing over semantics......
-
QUOTE(Fotop @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:17 PM)LOL, it went completely over my head...mostly because I don't know what to expect out of people around here. But good show w/the sarcasm there.
right back atcha

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:14 PM)Green?
Sorry, Im not used to the whole green thing, I will work on it though. I thought the sarcasm in my statement was pretty obvious though

where is the goddamn choice for Willie Harris?!?!? Come on!!!! :banghead

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 31, 2005 -> 05:02 PM)And Cruddy is so much better defensively that we have to deal with his craptacular bat of despair.
I think Randa and his superior fielding percentage and Zone rating would be ok as a replacement.
Shame on you for talking about the actual discussion. I just dont know how you can live with yourself.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:54 PM)When it comes to defense i realized people look at errors and nothing but errors.
My response was based more on "Top SS", not "Top Defensive SS". I would have had a vastly different answer if I am considering defense only.
First and Foremost I would have Vizquel as my top defensive SS. He may have lost some range due to old age(although it isnt much of a dropoff), but he is still as sure-handed as anyone.
-
QUOTE(qwerty @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:44 PM)Lol @ of jeter. Now talk about a butcher cheesus lice.
If he was such a butcher, I dont think he would have 4 rings. He makes the plays he needs to, doesnt kill himself with errors. If Jeter was on any other team than the Yankees, I would really like him. Hell, I still like watching him play. He certainly doesnt make excuses, and he still plays the game hard.
-
QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:40 PM)Still waiting for my answers.
You arent going agree with/like the answers you get. Your best bet is to hold your breath and wait.
-
QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:38 PM)hell yes I agree. I just love your pic and had to comment on it.
Actually, I didnt read it that hard. I would say top 10, but not top 3. There is a third baseman in new york who is better than most of the SS in the league. Then you have Tejada, Jeter, Cabrera and a few others that could make the choice really hard.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:37 PM)Damn straight.
Do you agree or no?
hell yes I agree. I just love your pic and had to comment on it.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 31, 2005 -> 04:35 PM)Juan is a top 3 defensive SS in baseball.
John Rockers mullet has spoken....

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:57 PM)Thats funny because my wife was yelling at me for going beserk after the Sox lost the lead...she was like hell you act like your favorite pet or a close family member just died... its a friggin game... get over it... then of course they win and I really looked like an ass...big shock there of course though!!
Our wives must be related, Jester.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:43 PM)get used to it, the next 0-4 game that anyone has will bring about more trade threads than you could possibly imagine. I, for one, am trying to stay positive through everything, and as much as yesterday pissed me off, I saw lots of good things.
I agree Rock, most important thing I saw was the fan support. It is always really nice to see that park full and rocking( I wish I saw it that way from a seat). The team seemed like they had a spark yesterday, despite the problems scoring.
-
QUOTE(ISF @ May 31, 2005 -> 03:36 PM)Related argument, someone just deleted a trade topic regarding Houston.
I don't see anything wrong with that topic, Houston may well be a seller.
Ensberg would be an intriguing guy, although a downgrade defensively.
I think it was the suggestion that BMac could bring Lidge, Oswalt, or even Ensberg to the Sox that got the thread deleted.
The thread came off a little "Why dont we trade BMAC for whomever we want", and it irritated everyones aggravating baby rash today.
Imagine the vitriol being spouted had the Sox lost?

Ha, re-signing Crede. Thats a laugher. Bora$$ probably has a 250 page packet of information about how great Crede is, ready to submit to the first sucker GM in line.
