QUOTE(forrestg @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) I wouldn't say to muc h bad about Freddie except for a fit guy he sure sweats a lot. I was very much afraid to see KOnerko walk after his last year. Garland is not the same guy as Paulie With Garland we saw him have mediocrel seasons always saying he is a star. We stuck with him. Now that he's realized his potential he wants to get paid more than we want to pay him. KW makes great trades and we always argue are we going to get a return on the player we trade for or is the minor leaguer be a hit or a miss. I'm for getting another reliever and restock our minor league talent. HOw about a minor league prospect catcher who can actually throwout runners, hit for avg and call a good game. A lefty reliever who can take Cotts place in the pen so he can become a starter. A decent third baseman who can step in when Crede/Borass and KW can't get together. Hey maybe Garcia might've got those mph back on his fast ball over the winter. ............... I'm with you on acquiring a great young defensive catcher that can hit for average, however i wouldn't waste trying to get a great 3rd base prospect when you have fields who has only had 2 minor league season, which I know haven't been great, but you can't give up on him yet. Instead of a 3rd baseman we need to start restocking the arms in the pullpen we've lost, especially those southpaws.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Dec 17, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) Good points, I just think the idea of defense and pitching should be our mantra forever and Jon unless he gets broke appears to be one of those special talents (as long as he keeps listening to Buehrle and works fast). I think Mark B, Jon and Fred should be our big three for the next 7 years. Why would you want Garcia for the next 7 years over McCarthy? I think if they were both in the rotation in '06 McCarthy might already bput up better numbers let alone for the future.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:18 AM) With what's looking like a much improved offense. I don't doubt Jose can win 20 games in 06. He's that good! I think he can too, however can he put it together for an entire season?

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Dec 16, 2005 -> 02:10 AM) Personally I would rather Kenny trades the Count for the biggest reason of his age...although the guy is strong as a bull and seems to have endless stamina, you just never know with the older guys. So your saying that KW should trade Count for what reason? If we trade him Garland still won't sign as extension so then we would lose both of them. Count will sign an extension it sounds like, guessing it will be for 3 years, I don't think his age will play to much of a factor in to it. That's whyyou trade Garland instead.
