It's a back loaded contract that only has 16 mil guaranteed,it was done for long term cap management and will result in him getting cut in three years more than likely.

Nick Leyva was in Charlotte? Who gave him permission to leave extended ST in Arizona?

That movie was based on a fictional novel written by David Morrell,who also helped write the screenplay. Your a dumbass.

Your ugly too,want him to fix that for you also?

I would call Bud an imbecile for this idea,but it would be an insult to imbeciles worldwide to do so.

Aaron Miles re-signed with the Sox with a minor league contract in November for 2003.

He was non tendered,he can be offered and accept a deal at any time prior to the start of the season,after the start of the season the Sox would have to make room for him on the twenty five man roster.

Alomar did nothing for the Sox,hence the reason he is a stiff.

OK I have to ask,since you are pushing this hard for a twenty seven year old prospect that has never been above AA,plays less than average defense in a position that needs better than average defense,and has little speed or baserunning skills,are you his brother,or perhaps his cousin?

Well if you really want a guy that could never rise above AA in a six year career playing second base for the Big club,that is up to you,but I think most fans would rather not have to watch that.

How in the hell do you blame Kenny for a six year minor leaguer filing for FA? The Sox have no power to prevent it from happening.

He wasn't released,he filed as a minor league FA as he has his six years of service time in.

Wright can throw five pitches for strikes,anyone that thinks he sucks should go back to pitching 101 and start all over.

It will be impossible for Dallaero to make it back to the bigs,he has never been there.

.214 shows he doesn't want to hit much, either. I never said he could hit,I was replying to Chisoxfn's assertion that he can concentrate on pitching.

Dallero doesn't want to pitch.

Paul Byrd is from Atlanta,ever think that might have something to do with it?

Kenny had nothing to do with this,this deal was done by JR and Arn Tellum,no one else was involved.

Hey,don't hold back,say what you really feel.

Either that or the bar he was sitting in didn't have ESPN on the TV.

First off, note that it's not the "Rule V Draft," but the Rule 5 draft. It's called the Rule 5 draft because the section of the Official Rules that covers the draft just happens to be Rule 5 in the book. Eligibility: A player not on a team's Major League 40-man roster is eligible for the Rule 5 draft if: the player was 18 or younger when he first signed a pro contract and this is the fourth Rule 5 draft since he signed, OR if he was 19 or older when he first signed a pro contract and this is the third Rule 5 draft since he signed. A player drafted onto a Major League roster in the Rule 5 draft must remain in the majors (on the 25-man active roster or the DL) for all of the subsequent season, or the drafting club must attempt to return him to his original club. However, since a returned Rule 5 player must first be placed on outright waivers, a third club could claim the player off waivers. But of course, that club would then also have to keep him in the majors all season, or offer him back to his original club. Occasionally, the drafting club will work out a trade with the player's original team, allowing the drafting club to retain the player but send him to the minors.

You are complaining about the loss of a 26th round draft pick that was lost to the rule 5 draft last year,and then reclaimed off of waivers? LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Umm that makes zero sense,he wouldn't be a player to be named later,as he is on the 40 man roster,the ptbnl would be someone that can't be named until after the rule 5 draft,not someone on the forty man roster.

With the new CBA, you can. No you still can't,perhaps you should read the particulars of the CBA?

Is he just waiting for arbitration or is he technically a free agent? I thought Parque and Ritchie are the only two remaining Sox that were abritration eligible which would lead me to believe Paul is still with the Sox. My intention was he would be the first to be waived to clear room on the roster.
