No what i'm sayinjg how can anyone say for us to sign a guy who's washed up Yeah, I gotcha, and I agree..just messin around

So, Josh, what you are really saying here is.... Sheesh!!! Did I get that right?

Well, I don't agree that Foulke ever did anything wrong here in 2002. The fact that he and KW had differing opinions, and let each other know sealed Keiths fate with the Sox. KW went ego trippin on Foulke, and traded him so he could make a point. "I am running this team, not the players Didn't seem to affect Foulkes performance, though

Congratz Cubssuck1, but now you know that you have to buy Paint Shop Pro 8, start asking for donations now1!

No, no, slick, I've been fighting the kill Billy Koch army since April of this year. I think that if he doesnt pick up a baseball until Spring Training, we may find ourselves with the Koch that we traded for.

I can just see KW giving him away now to the NYM, and him having a great year. I think that Konerko is a more viable option to clear payroll money than Koch is.

No need for Orlando Cabrera now, we got our 5 million dollar man back, Mr. Jose Valentin!!!! :puke

Well, I remember getting flamed earlier this year for saying that Loz would win comeback player of the year, for the same reasons said here. Glad at least MLB agreed with me

Yeah, if I ever see Everett in CF, it will be too soon. KochThis and myself said the exact same thing when I was in Chicago in July. This guy has NO idea how to play CF, cant hit the right cutoff, his positioning is awful, and his arm isn't exactly Vlad-like.

Yeah, control definately wasnt the issue, unfortunately too many times he knew how to throw it right where he wanted to. But when you do so at only 93 MPH, in Alan Embree-straight like fashon, you are gnona get pounded. I was one of the few people that was on Koch's side all year, and I think that as long as he doesnt pick up a baseball until February, he will be back. I see a 3.40 ERA, 35 Saves.

And, IMO, Garland at the #4 can be as good as alot of the other guys in the AL. That leaves the lottery pick for who get to be the #5.

I didn't mean to make it sound like it was gonna be "given" to Schoen, but that he is the hands on favorite to get the job, because he came in and did a job he didn't want to do. I think KW asked him to be bullpen help in 2003, on the condition that he would get a legitimate shot at the Starting Rotation in 2004

I'm really starting to think that KW is doing a decent job, but he is, in his mind, contradicting himself. He wants to keep key parts here that have been loyal to the club, and he wants to field a team that regardless of costs will compete well, but still is restricted by JR and the cheap regime. Therefore, sometimes he makes moves that are good money-wise(Sandy at 500-700K, bringing in 2-3 vet starters to ST to compete), but then he makes bone-headed moves like JosE6 at 5 mill and the obsurd contracts for Konerko and the severly backloaded Maggs contract. KW has too many conflicts of interest in his head, with being still a new GM, wanting to get talent to the Southside, club loyalty, JR's cheapness, etc. I don't envy him at all.

This picture screams Jailbait to me for some reason

Chalk that one up to the media. LeBron IMO will be a really good player in this league, as will Carmelo. I think its good for the NBA that they finally gave younger fans a reason to watch their "product" again. I for one absolutely hate the NBA, but even I was interested in watching Carmelo play, moreso than LeBron. NBA is just a space filler between football and baseball IMO.

Well, BE GOOD, maybe you can get at least a ride in the Saturn f***ing Ion

Well, BE GOOD, if you are lucky, you acn go to Chicago and drive the Saturn f***ing Ion!!!

Beastley, I think ya get too bent outta shape about the whole Mod thing. You have improved drastically as a poster since ther early wsc425 days, and I'm sure that most people would agree with that sentiment. Just keep doin your thing, it gets noticed.

Uh-oh.....so I guess I can mark off one more state not to travel through!!! J/K, congratz BE GOOD.

Even Buehrle at 3-4 milion is gonna be a little over half of what Ponson is gonna cost to sign. It will take 6-7 mill per season to get him to sign, and thats more than you r#1 and #2 combined. I do agree with what you say about Loz, though.

I still think it will be given to, GASP, Scott Schoeneweis. They are keeping him around for that reason, and maybe Coop can get him in a good enough position to be at the very least, average in that #5 slot.

And again, I don't mind bringing Ponson in, but I cant see a #3 making twice as much as either the #1 or 2, seems a bit bass ackwards to me.
