my guess is wilson betemit naw i think its gonna be a head scratcher move like really??? why _____? this guy blows. and then its gonna turn out that hes a stud.... like chad tracy or somethin. [/color]or mark prior

who is elvis? and where are the bouncing souls?

so i went through most of the pages and no one has even suggested this could mean lexi to the bo sox for jacoby?? what shame... not saying i want it to happen nor do i think the rumor is true buttttt it wouldnt be toooo bad if it did happen. Her'es how i would handle it. 1. Jacoby CF 2. Omar 2b (he can handle the bat and would be a perfect guy to hit behind jacoby) 3. Gordo SS 4. CQ RF 5. Russell Branyon/Thome DH (this name hasnt been throw out yet which is surprising) 6. Kong 1B 7. AJ C 8. Rios LF 9. Teahen 3b

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) Omogrosso will be on the 60 day DL though so what does it matter? He really won't count against the 40 man roster in time, correct? so we will have 4 open spots on the 40 si?

What is Gordon Beckham's ceiling? Top 10 at his position? Klaw (1:21 PM) Yes, at either position. By the way ... Bacon? Really?

I feel bad for saying this buttttt there was a fight that broke out up in the cheap seats in my section well as one of the guys was being escorted out i decided that since everyone was standing and looking at this guy if something were to be thrown at him nothing would have been traced back to me. so i threw a cup in the direction of the guy and no lie hit a pregnant lady with it.... another strange story, after a game my buddy challenged a cubs fan to race 2 steps after he asked i stepped off a curb wrong and hurt his ankle.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 02:59 PM) That makes me feel like we can forget about an Adrian Gonzalez/Carl Crawford/Nick Johnson/Adam Dunn pipe dream. Now I know we can make some trades, but wouldn't we have to replace the people we trade with free agents? I got a feeling our line up looks something like this in 2010: Pods Beckham Quentin Konerko Thome AJP Alexei Teahen Rios not at all, we're prob gonna trade prospects if we trade anything (which i think kennys got somethin for us). Only starter i see maybe being traded is konerko and if hes traded it more than likely means we have adrian gonzalez comin our way. Also rios in the 9 hole? yes he had a bad stint with us but i have a feeling hes gonna turn it around and were gonna see him planted firmly into the 5 or 6 hole.

ya im not a fan of the last 3 bands...horrible

good call jim the video i posted actually has them playing with bruce and there has been a lot of comparisons between the 2, so i think those older fellows on here that never heard of em should check em out. its proof to you guys that good music is still comin and wasnt just in your time.

and since music is my passion and i see bruceeee made the list id like to give you guys a heads up on my #3 band(pretty sure they were) the gaslight anthem. i love turning people on to new great music and i think everyone young and old will love this band.

before you guys bash rise against why dont ya check em out theyre a great local band that make great music and theyre all great people. alot of there music has a strong positive message behind it give em a chance just because you havent heard of doesnt mean theyre not good. I have a feeling all the bands that i voted for that make it will get bashed, but do me a favor and jump onto youtube and check out a couple of their songs before ya bash em, you'll be surprised http://www.youtube.com/results?search_quer..._type=&aq=f

mods if you can make this into a poll id appreciate it.. Rios, lexi, or beckham? discuss.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 15, 2009 -> 01:47 PM) That would be so unbelievably awesome. Kenny would need his own statue at that point. for real could you imagine 1. Crawford LF 2. Beckham 2b 3. Q RF 4. Gonzalez 1b 5. Konerko DH 6. Rios CF 7. AJ C 8. Lexi SS 9. Teahen 3B then lets say danks develops into a stud (assuming hes not in one of the trades) how good defensively would Crawford-Rios-Danks look....MERCY

With the starting staff we have adding a bat like adrians to the team we already have give us a legit shot at making the world series for the next 2 or 3 years. No prospect is a sure thing, do i believe hudson and flowers will be good(assuming they will be the 2 key pieces in a deal for adrian)? yes, yes i do but what happens if hudson turns out to be another brandon mccarthy and tyler flowers doesnt pan out? Adrian Gonzalez is a legit player that will give you a legit shot at a championship for the next couple years and beyond if we get him to resign. As far as crawford goes i only try getting him if we get heath bell in a trade with gonzalez and all it takes is jenks and a decent prospect or 2.

within reason what do you do this offseason. Feel free to throw so if and buts in there. heres me as kenny williams this offseason. Hey yo padres GM Ive got Hudson, Flowers, Viciedo, Retherford and Link who can all make your team now for that Gonzalez fellow. Hey san fran GM you need some offense and some leadership on your team Ive got just the guy for you, Paul Konerko and all you have to do is throw me oh idk Eugelino Feliz or fred lewis or Andres torres and bob howry Hey rockies gm youre a good team but your pen sucks ive got just the guy for you Scott Linebrink will help that problem and ill even give you our new guy Mark Teahan for a guy your not even playing, Garret Atkins...(very doubtful but possible, maybe even throw em Stanziel or link as well) Hey Chone Figgins howd you like to be batting in front of gordan beckham, carlos quentin, and adrian gonzalez. (you freed up a lot of money by getting rid of linestink pk) at this point id be content with putting D2 out there because we'd be stacked offensively then id sign up joe beimel and jason kendall that would leave us with 1. Figgins 3B 2. Beckham 2B 3. CQ RF/LF 4. Gonzalez 1B 5. Atkins DH 6. Rios CF 7. AJ C 8. Lexi SS 9. Danks LF/RF That right there is as good defensively as it is offensively. Bench Kotsay Kendall Nix San fran guys/de aza 1. Peavy 2. Buehrle 3. Floyd 4. Danks 5. Garcia LRP Williams L LRP DJ R MRP Biemel L MRP Pena R SU Thornton L SU Howry R what would you do??

Gonzalez wins a gold glove, KW make it happen give up whoever they want not named Beckham.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 06:54 PM) Yeah, but they wont. That lineup is seriously bad, like rally killing bad. i dont think so sir

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 05:58 PM) Even if everything works in that offense, it's not going to outscore the Yankees. But that's not how this team is built next year; if we fill those other 2 spots with average performance somehow, if we're going to the playoffs, we're going there because we have the best 1-6 starting pitching staff in the AL and we're scoring enough runs. What we need to do is get to teh "Enough" runs point. In 2005 we were 9/15 in the AL in runs scored. In 2009 we were 12/15. That's a fair bit worse, and we need to recover from that. Quentin recovering and giving us a full season, a full season of Beckham, a normal season from Rios, etc., could accomplish that as long as we don't have a complete black hole somewhere. Get me back to that middle-of-the pack range and then our offense can win with this starting staff. That assumes, of course, that the bullpen doesn't implode. my thoughts exactly, and i do think we score enough runs, i firmly believe rios will have a monster year, TCQ puts up MVP type numbers, paulie gives us 30/80, AJ puts up another .290+ year, Gordos gonna continue what he did last year over a whole year, lexis good for 20 homers and 60 driven in and i believe teahen is good for that too.

QUOTE (sayitaintso @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 05:20 PM) I just threw up in my mouth... QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 05:21 PM) That has the potential to be a truly terrible lineup, like bottom of baseball bad. Please explain why this would be that bad? 2-8 all have the potential to hit .270 with 20 HR and 70 RBI and who knows what D2 can do and if we have the pods of last year we're fine. esp. with this staff, i would like to see the addition of one more bopper but i honestly think if we put that out there next year and our starting staff stays healthy we'll be fine.

Id give up flowers if we could also get scott downs in return as well

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 01:35 PM) Not sure about easily...but it is possible. If he could get 20 HRs and 40 doubles...that would be nice. maybe the 25 is a bit of a stretch but depending on where he hits i dont see 70 bein tooo much of a stretch. anyone with me in thinking playing for a better team he'll strive to do better?

Teahen would have lead the sox in doubles last year. Translate that into a more home run friendly ball park and i agree with whomever said 20-25 home runs will be easy to reach. I say he easily puts up 25/70

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 11:56 AM) 1. We should start off by canceling this deal for Teahen since he's not worth his contract. 2. I'd love Adrian, but I wouldn't give up Floyd or Danks. They can have Hudson and all the prospects they want, and if they won't take that, then we look elsewhere for a bat. 3. Chone Figgins at 4+ years or whatever he's going to get has the potential to be a pretty bad deal. Once his speed declines he's essentially a glorified bench player. 4. Nick Johnson can't be counted on. He should be pretty far down on our list this offseason. 1. I think everyone here dislikes this trade because theyre comparing teahan and dye if KW goes out and gets a bopper you then compare getz to teahan which while getz looks like he can be a pretty good scrappy young player with teahan youve got a guy that i see putting up atleast 15/65. Everyone needs to wait to see how this offseason rolls out. 2. It'd be nice to have 5 stud starters but once you hit the postseason you dont really need 5 so if you can trade floyd or danks to bring in an adrian gonzalez i do it in a heartbeat. Hell Id be fine with seein carlos torres out there every 5th day if it means we got a young lefty bat that can give us 40 homers and 100+ RBI. 3. Sure it has the potential to be a bad deal in 3 or 4 years but would you trade a legit WS contending team for the next 2 or 3 years for a year or 2 of a potentially bad contract? 4. Nick Johnson is just a cheap dream i think a lot of us have on this board have. the man has a career .402 career OBP you can not say that wouldnt look sexy in the 2 spot of our lineup. Plus he'd be our DH in my lil offseason so thi risk for injury is A LOT less.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 10:17 AM) i agree. I just think OG and KW may be obsessed with getting guys who can run. We definitely need a couple 30 HR threats at least. That's why i'd like to see either a Dunn or Blalock be brought in instead of a guy like Polanco. Trade paulie for the best starter/reliever combo you can get preferable a rather cheap one so you have the money to make a FA splash Trade Floyd and Hudson (and more than likely spects) for Adrian Gonzalez By trading paulie and floyd youve freed up a ton of cash in which i would use to go hard after chone figgins and Nick johnson thats how i would attempt to do s*** if i was KW youve then got Figgins Johnson Beckham Gonzalez Q Rios AJ Lexi Teahan with Peavy Buehrle Danks Garcia whoever you get for paulie that right there = Championship imo

went to my sent folder to see what my list was again and didnt see it, did i even send it??? my top 5 i think was Bouncing Souls Underoath Gaslight Anthem From Autumn To Ashes Rise Against how many people here have heard of all 5?
