Two words... Danny Richar.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:27 AM) Kenny is grumpy like the rest of us. Seriously, who the hell cares what he has to say at the moment, I just want him to go on to plan ZZ or whatever and get this team some players. The thing is, KW had a plan this offseason and it was to bring in at least one of Hunter or Cabrera. Now neither of them are here and we are stuck with Crede, Uribe, Linebrink, and Cabrera. Don't you think it would have been wise to wait and see if we actually acquired the key parts to the plan before we started to pick up some of the minor parts? Now, instead of being able to go into a rebuild mode since the plan has failed, we can't because we traded Garland for a 33 year SS in his last of a contract and signed a mediocre reliever to a pretty big contract. f***ing pitiful.

QUOTE(DonnyDevito @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:32 AM) i'm sure you know what holes like mariotti care and we will hear all about it in the coming days. how kenny flopped on hunter and the Miggy trade. as long as we net a real CF like jones or rowand, i don't care. call me a nut job but i think Andruw Jones can hit 35+ HR's in the cell with ease. how big is ATL's ball park and you know jones could easily hit 25 there. he's old but if we want to win now, i'd offer jones a 3 year, $48 million contract right now just to get it done. did i mention that he's a gold glover. adding two gold glovers in one offseason is more than a wild dream, it can be a reality. make it happen KW. haven't you heard? Andruw Jones K's a ton, like a bizillion times a year and hits for a sub 200 OBP! Aaron Rowand on the other hand, he never K's and is an OBP machine! Or in none bulls*** KW dribble, Aaron Rowand isn't represented by Borass.

QUOTE(Chombi @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:31 AM) That sums up my feelings. Especially the firesale should've occured in May or june and the Rick Hahn part. Quality. Not many other words able to describe that. I will probably print this out and bring it to SoxFest. I hope you do. I want Kenny Williams to realize we aren't mindless drones who listen to every stupid word that comes out of his mouth. If I could go to soxfest and such I would, but I can't, sadly. I'd have a lot of fun b****ing.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:13 PM) Urge to kill...rising... I hope I'm not the only who caught this... Good old simpsons. Just watched the 10:30 episode tonight. Did nothing but laugh. My favorite part... And in the space that said do not write here, he (refering to Homer) wrote "Okay." Ah, the glory days of the simpsons. Now they just blow.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 12:14 AM) Please add - why did you trade Jon Garland for a 33 year old SS in his last year of free agency who doesn't want to sign a contract extension? added, plus a couple others.

I hope various people ask him the following questions at soxfest this year... -How exactly do you expect this team to compete next year or in future years? -Did you honestly think we were are a good team that just "preformed" bad last year? -Why in hell did you just not blow up this team and restart the rebuilding process when we had the chance to do so back in May and July? -Where exactly would you rank our farm system compared to other team's farm systems? -Why were you too f***ing cheap to pick Poreda instead of Porcello? -Do you not know we have a pitiful farm system? -Can you explain to me how Andruw Jones strikes out a ton and hits for a low OBP but Rowand and Hunter don't? -Why do you suck? -In how long do you think we could finally see Rick Hahn take over as GM? -Are you retarded? -We all know Boras is a b****, but why do you refuse to deal with him? Ozzie said himself that Boras represents the best players in the league, so you will never go after the best players in the league? -I think you are a sad excuse for a GM. -Why do you suck? -Why are you a conceded jackass who acts all smug as if he is better then all of us, talking down to all the fans as if we don't know what the f*** baseball is? -Why did you trade Jon Garland for a 33 year old SS in his last year of free agency who doesn't want to sign a contract extension? -Why are the likes of Cole Armstrong and Andy Gonzalez on the 40 man roster but not Fernando Hernandez, who will now be on some other team most likely? Hell, that reminds me, where the f*** were you thinking when you let Fabio Castro go for nothing?

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:45 PM) A lefty hitting leadoff CF for Broadway....where do I sign up? I like Hamilton, but he ain't a leadoff hitter. Well, at least in my book when you have someone who can put a SLG% of .550 or greater they aren't a leadoff hitter but a middle of the order guy.

Get Roberts for a reasonable price, and have Richar move to the OF. He has played a little OF before and I think he could make the tranisition. I would assume it would cost something Fields and someone else for Roberts.

QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:24 PM) The Braves offered Chuck James, a highly touted lefty MLB starter, and I believe the Royals said no. I'm worried about what we'd have to give up to get DeJesus. I'd much rather trade for Josh Hamilton. From what I read, the Royals didn't say no to the Braves, but said they don't know if they want to keep him or not...

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:22 PM) Don't trade Crede. Plus with all the talk about the Sox looking at 2B upgrade-apparently Richar isn't as good as we were told?- Iguchi is not a bad option for the Sox Yeah, lets send Fields down to AAA and keep Crede. And yeah, please find me where there has been something said about us wanting to upgrade over Richar.

KW was probably asking for the moon for Crede and got turned down.

as we all know Rowand is an OBP machine and rarely strikesout... Does Kenny really think we are all this dumb? I really hope he gets chewed out at soxfest.

f*** you Kenny Williams, f*** you.

The Rick Hahn era can't come soon enough.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) Someone must of hid the stat sheet when he was pursuing Torii. My thoughts as well.

I wouldn't mind getting Tony Gwynn Jr. in any deal. Him alone wouldn't be so hot, but if we could get him and a C prospect for Crede, I'd be glad. Gwynn can play all 3 OF positions with very good D and he has a cannon arm, and has good speed. He might not be anything special but I think he could be a very good situational/bench player.

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) Bill Hall is someone the Sox are very very interested in. this coming directly from Kenny Williams, he is looking for players that won't K a ton and put up a good OBP. Hall provides neither of that. However, I highly doubt the Brew Crew would be stupid enough to do a Hall for Crede trade.

If Roberts is available, for as much as I like Richar, we should go hard after Roberts.

If KW is serious about getting players who will have a .350+ OBP and not strike out a ton, I think Fukudome is the target then.

Mets aren't gonna trade both of Martinez and Gomez now that they traded Milledge.

well, they still have Porcello...

QUOTE(G&T @ Dec 4, 2007 -> 05:33 PM) ESPN reporting it again. Unbelievable. reporting what?

QUOTE(Felix @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 11:20 PM) Pablo is a sad excuse for a baseball player if he doesn't have his speed, so if thats gone (or decreased), Loretta without a doubt. BUT HE WAS ONCE A TOP 10 PROSPECT!?@$*#(!(#$>#!?
