God I hate Bobby Higgenson

Defintately. No need for that stuff.

I am 3 of them

Now that is funny. You want to throw out Grilli's numbers when judging what kind of future he will have, but use them to condem a much younger Miguel Olivo, who plays a position where most of his value doesn't show up in the stat page, LET ALONE in his batting average. :rolly

Damn Dmitri Young 4-2 Kitties

I wonder who they plan on edging out? Two year deal means someone else isn't coming back next year.

The last part of your question- both. The Federal government gets their taxes on a fixed basis. I forget the amount, but it is around 50 cents a gallon. Then most of the states and some cities and counties do the samething (that is why gas is 30 cents higher in Chicago vs out of cook county). Then gas is also subject to any sales taxes, which are a percentage of price.

It is a press release email from the white sox.

But you are advocating the adding of someone to replace Maggs and replacements for Uribe, Crede, Harris, and Valdez. Where does that money come from?

Done

So you are telling me that extra $3 mil will get you a top flight starter, a replacement for Maggs AND people to play 3B, SS and 2B? There is no way. Be realistic. You can't advocate the trade of a $3 million player to raise funds because we are broke, but then talk about signing $20 million plus worth of players. (Top flight starter $10ish million, Maggs replacement at least $10 mil to replace those #'s, plus 3B, SS, 2B since I guess we have none of them) Plus you still have the same blackhole at 5th starter that you have had this entire decade.

Koch has long since been replaced. Valentin is replaced by Uribe/Valdez. Done and done. We also have Everett, Borchard, Perez etc that are going to replace Maggs in RF. Your way actually has more holes as you are trying to replace 2 starting pitchers (the big FA you are planning on signing, and then someone to replace Garland as well.

:puke More like my gag Reflex is kicking in :puke

Actually if we operate at a small premium over last year there is about $10ish million available. Garcia&Contreras take up Maggs money roughly (about $14mil vs $15 mil) After that we are losing $11 million in ridding ourselves of Koch and Valentins contracts. Granted we have some increases coming, but nothing nearly that much. If we get anykind of an increase in budget that will cover those increases (keep in mind even with stable attendance vs LY, tickets cost about 20% more vs last year, and there was an increase in parking and concessions. Plus there were less half price nights factored in) The Sox should have AT least $6-7 million available even if the owners give KW the exact same budget as last year (highly unlikely IMO)

Or there is this version

Much better

Damn, I thought I got rid of that white. Maybe one of the signature experts can take it from here?

Interesting thing I just saw- Charlie Garner of TB had a season ending injury. Could a trade with the Bucs for Griese or Johnson be pulled off for ATrain?

At this point you have nothing to lose and two QBs with a grand total of 4 career starts. Why not sign him?

What bigger hole have the Sox had for years than their 5th starter?

Damn. That puts the Bears firmly in the Mike Williams derby.

More on why I don't want Grilli as a number 5. http://www.tsn.ca/mlb/teams/player_bio.asp...188&hubname=CHA how about his 6.61 career major league ERA? how about his 5.25 career AAA ERA? how about 2004 being the first year since since 1999 that he has thrown over 100 innings in a whole season? how about 2004 being the 8th year that he has spent time at AAA and he still had an era of 4.83 to show for it? how about him having not one single quality start in his 6 starts with the Sox? how about him having a grand total of one quality starts including his times in the MLs with Florida? I would rather see Diaz for sure over Grilli. Grilli would be more the 5th starter garbage.
