beautox

between this f***ing ump, adn s***ty defense. if i was danks i would be pissed.

wow, hawk i know its 420 and all but ozzie sucks at handling young pitching, case and point McCarthy. game set match.

i can't believe hawk just compared erstad to HOFer Al Kaline QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 07:01 PM) as am I I think 50 percent of the black players in the MLB are on the Tigers. false they're on the D-rays

god damn it aj.

walks are so f***ing sexy!!

tadahero! also hawks homerun calls today are very passive lol.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 06:40 PM) brian anderson's first few months was my answer too. Even with the homers, I'm not complaining about Danks yet. agreed, so long as he isn't walking hitters infront of said homeruns. honestly all i want from him is to keep us in the game and post an era south of 5.

god i hate erstad. but at least we won't have an automatic out next inning.

Juan helping danks out.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 06:24 PM) It's not just age....there's the fact that the Sox have no hitters on the team who you expect to be with them in the next 5 years or so. The Tigers have Granderson at least. The Tigers do have an old offense....it's too bad they fleeced NY with the Sheffield trade. 3 infield pop ups so far. i can see Brian, Maybe Ryan sticking with the sox, and 5 years is a long time, after this season i forsee the sox rebuilding. Maybin is striking out at a torrid pace down on the farm and granderson isn't an AS caliber OFer.

esp behind danks. lol @ DJ, the PR department must really be pushing "baseball player" as the buzz word this season.

1 down.

time to make another scrub look like he should be in contention for the CYA

i think this thread needs more ghost riding another ground out to the right side, and it was a broken one at that. You suck erstad.

/agree

between kendrick and vlad out, and the fact the matthews sighing hasn't lived come to pass yet, they're going to need some bats by the ASB.

haha, can't wait to hear sweet lou's post game.

lol Cedeno just slid over the base on ball four in the bottom of the 9th, 2 outs man on first.

hahaha the cubs bunt into a triple play hahahahahahaha aww, they just reversed the call.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 01:28 AM) Well, I'd kind of forgotten about Zito, I'll admit that, but they would be much better off rebuilding come next year. There just seems to be an all-around lack of talent on that major league roster, and while I'm not informed on their system, it seems as though I've heard there's not much there. At the very least, for the Giants to remain even in mediocrity, they'll need to bring in a huge bat in LF to remain solid, and I just don't see them competing regardless of that. The DBacks are just ridiculously loaded for the next 4-5 years or so, the Dodgers look like they'll be contenders for atleast a couple years, the Padres have a ton of young pitching (partly because of that park), and the Rockies aren't a bad team by any means either. I just hope KW wises up and sends Anderson to AAA so he can salvage some of his value. Atleast see if he can still hit or not; rotting on the bench will do him no good. I would have not cared in the least if Anderson were on the MLB roster if he were getting 2-3 starts a week, but 1 start a week isn't gonna cut it. Honestly i think the giants are the best fit for moving Crede. Even after moving Kevin Frandsen they still have Marcus Sanders who is just 20 years old, and who would be ready to take over 2B when Durham is a FA. As for Jonathan Sanchez hes 24yr old with a good fastball(90-95) great slider, great change. The problem is hes a health risk and he is very inconsistent he's as likely to strike out the side as he is walk them. If we acquired Frandsen we could let Iguchi walk along with Dye. Then we have options looking over Kalapse's payroll sheet, even if we exercise Uribe's option(5mil) our '08 payroll is only 75.625mil that leaves a difference of 20.775mil between the 07 & 08 payroll and im not sure what happened with the 10mil we saved from unloading Garcia to the Phillies and the revenue generated by the new CBA agreement, mlb is in a golden era. its apparent we're going to need 1 possibly 2 OFers depending on what happens to Brian and Scott. i see Ichiro getting a deal similar to this 3 years/$39M, he is 33 years old. that would bring our payroll to 88.625mil. They could also sign Andruw Jones who i see getting a deal similar to Soriano 8 years/$136M. The sox can afford that too, and with Dye leaving he could be a staple for us in the OF and allow us to keep our production up. We could also let mark walk and deal Jose, freeing up another 10mil for the next two years and getting more pieces(SS/2B?, SP?, C?) If we did that we would be able to sign both Ichiro and Jones, our staff would take a hit but i can see our arms down on the farm pushing KW's hand.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 12:54 AM) I'd make love to both trades. However, I'm not sure Anderson's value is high enough to get a prospect of Saltalamacchia's value. And Crede will have to turn it around and repeat his performance last year to even get two B prospects. Also, if this is Bonds' last year with the Giants, they'll rebuild, that I have to imagine. Without Bonds, I don't think that team is close to competitive. If he starts getting regular playing time either at the mlb or milb level it will be. I agree, joe will have to put up a year similar to last to get 2 B level prospects, but hes entering his prime and even though he has started out cold i have faith in him. what are they going to rebuild with? their pitching is there but they have no positional players, and they're not going to rebuild after signing zito to that deal 7 years/$126M. they're two years away from rebuilding, itd be better for them to flounder in mediocrity and hope they can get the WC. C - Bengie Molina (07-09) 1B - Rich Aurilia (07-08) 2B - Ray Durham (07-08) SS - Omar Vizquel (05-07) 3B - Pedro Feliz (07) LF - Barry Bonds (07) CF - Dave Roberts (07-09) RF - Randy Winn (07-09)

on a side note, i see Joe getting moved to the NL(giants/phillies) in my eyes Joe Crede's value is 2 b level 'specs. from the phillies the following come to mind. MI Adrian Cardenas RHP Kyle Drabek From the Giants 2B Kevin Frandsen LHP Jonathan Sanchez great stuff but hes been sent to the giants pen, hes also had some health issues. They've already got Zito, Cain, Morris, Ortiz and soon enough Lincecum. As for Anderson, i could see the braves as a good fit for him. from the braves side i think we would have to send a little bit of pitching along with Brian to get Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Jones is a FA after this season, and they have on one ready to step in with a glove. i still think brian becomes a decent hitter 270/280 with 30HR. Saltalamacchia is a switch hitting catcher, and he has .300avg 30HR potential and a solid glove behind the plate.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 05:33 PM) If Iwamura is truly as good has he has shown the first 2 weeks of the season he is going to be one hell of a player in all facets of the game. He is so much fun to watch. best FA signing this offseason,ii think we will see Longoria moved to 1B if Iwamura is the real deal.

ZOMG BOBBY TEH SUX NO VELOCITY NO VALUE!!!1111!!!!!!1!!!!
