    So, Sweeney, Broadway, Tracey and Vazquez would work better?

     

    Seattle doesn't need a 3b with Beltre's huge contract.

    Nothing would work. The Seattle Mariners would sooner close their doors and shut down than trade Ichiro. The guy is Asian, the team's ownership is Asian, and he sells a ton of tickets.

    ATL is very much alive in the WC chase. They're adding (Wickman). NO way they move Jones.

    I've heard that argument, but I dont buy it really. Even if they are technically only 5 games out in the WC, they're 4 games under .500 in the NL. That's an awful team, any way you cut it.

    Anyone else find it strange that the Sox are reportedly "extremely close" to getting Soriano, but there doesn't even seem to be an agreement as to the key pieces to the deal? McCarthy? Broadway? Pods?

    Smokescreen for us going after Andruw Jones? *crosses fingers*

    I guess the no-trade clause is through 2007 then, because right now, Count's old salary is still what he's making in 2006.

    Typically when players sign a contract extension the old deal is ripped up and the remaining years of the old deal are incorporated into the new deal. So for now he's making old contract money, but it has new contract years and stipulations (no trade clause).

    Yes, he does.  And the first year of the deal is 2007.

    Negative.

     

    McCarthy, in his first full big-league season, is the odd-man out this year, and Williams said he didn't expect to trade any of his starters. In fact, he can't trade Contreras and Jon Garland until next winter because their new contracts include a full season with a no-trade clause.

    Well, I've also wanted Count to be traded if Garland wasn't :P  I think its a downright crime to keep McCarthy out of the rotation right now.

    Count has a no trade clause in the first year of his deal, IIRC.

    A.J. Pierzynski Predicts He Will Lead League In Offensiveness

    March 30, 2006 | Issue 42•13

    CHICAGO—Although he has already built a reputation as one of the most offensive players in the game, White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski said Monday that he will put on his extremely smug game-face on Opening Day and leave it on for the rest of the season. "I think my antics in the postseason proved to my critics that I'm more than just a one-dimensional jackass," said Pierzynski, who trailed only Barry Bonds and Milton Bradley in all offensiveness categories in 2005. "Whether it means 'accidentally' tripping an opposing player right before he crosses home plate or sliding cleats-up into first base on a routine groundout, I am going to focus especially hard on the 'irritating' and 'aggravating' aspects of my game this year. By the end of the season, I'll finally have lost the respect of my coaches, teammates, and fellow major-leaguers." Pierzynski's comments drew the ire of Yankee offensive force Gary Sheffield, who vehemently argued that he is not only the most offensive player in the game, but that his reactionary style of play will earn him a spot on The Sporting News' 2006 All-Defensive Team.

    TSN also said that we had the 3rd best bullpen in the league, so take their predictions with a grain of salt.

    That was before Jenks decided to start sucking and Hermanson was DOA though. We had a great bullpen last year.

    I hope Peter Gammons picks a different team, he's a jinx in my opinion. Last year he said the Cubs and Twins were going to the World Series.

    Watch out for Ryne Sandburg's pick. He was one of the only experts to pick the Sox to at least make the playoffs last year.

    Bagwell's shoulder stronger than it was?

    The main reason the Astros want to dump Bagwell is because of his contract.  I doubt they even care if he's healthy or not.

    Point being we can say the same thing about Bagwell, I doubt if he cares if he's healthy or not...the omg17million!1 excuse goes both ways. None of us know what's going on with his body and after last season, if I was the Astros, I wouldnt want him out there unless he was healthy.

    Yeah, and now they have Joe Mauer.

    I'm ecstatic that the Sox have AJ, but the Twinks have a pretty damn good catcher too.

    It was more of a reference to the Twins being an afterthought in the division these days than a team without a catcher.
