This is the make or break year for Joe. Fields is coming fast, and Joe is approaching his arbitration years.

Exactly. Is the kid a starter or reliver?

I am going a little unconventional here... LF Podsednik 2B Harris DH Thomas 1B Konerko LF Dye CF Rowand SS Uribe 3B Crede C Davis/Burke

*plays devils advocate* couldn't that fall under "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?"

Its a joke. I just got a laugh out of the *official* Matt Clement thread and thought I would parody it. Besides it has been awful doom and gloomy in here lately, so why not have something to laugh at?

He whipped the Sox asses everytime he saw us at the end of the year.

Howry was lights out for the Tribe the last two months of the year, and resigned there.

My favorite part of the article

Nah, that was us trading him to the Brewers...

This definately goes under the category of "What the f*** is wrong with people???" http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/12/17/laci.pet...n.ap/index.html

Shingo Takatsu Cliff Politte Dustin Hermanson Luis Vizcaino I don't think there is room for another RH arm. The last spot (or two if it is a 7 man pen) will go to lefties.

Plus even if no more moves are made, this is going to be a quality bench with Timo, Everett, Gload, and either Davis or Burke coming off of the bench. Honestly even if we don't sign another starter, I wouldn't be surprised if we had a 6 man pen. We have 3 200 IP SPs in the rotation, plus Contreras should be in the 170-180 range. That doesn't leave a lot of need for the pen, especially with that many quality arms to spread those innings out over.

If we get another quality starter, we will have a 6 man bullpen. If we go in with last years assortment of craptacular 5th starters, then we will have a 7 man bullpen.

The great majority of that stuff is most likely unlicensed. And like I said, you aren't seeing Elvis tunes pitching Viagra and shoes yet, but now you will. It just pisses me off that people are learning some of the best music of my parents generation through commericals. It takes away from it to say the least.

They might draw more than the Sox

Loiaza was the best bargin ever as a FA for the Sox. Runner up Cy Young for $500,000.

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/flo...la-news-florida I never really heard how the damage from the Hurricanes was at the Cape. Any info Jim or anyone else?

But IF Sosa is trade the money IS guarenteed. That's how the PA would look at it.

Cubs want room for this year. I doubt they are interested in Hampton.

Or my personal fav FNG.

His option does become guarenteed if he is traded. He could negotiate something, but as dictated by the ARod fiasco, the PA won't allow money to be taken off of the table.

Unless someone gets trade, the bullpen is set except for the last lefty. More than likely that will be Cotts unless he blows up in spring training. Next in line would be either Walker or Munoz.
