Jack Egbert needs to be added to the 40 man or he gets put into the Rule V draft.

I wouldn't mind signing him to a one year deal with an option for a second...

Not a fan of Torre at all... overrated. So, who replaces him? Girardi or Mattingly?

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 09:32 AM) Crisp wouldn't be a bad option. However the Red Sox will be looking to aqcuire a 3b for him as Lowell will be a free agent. Would you trade Crede for him? I wouldn't I'd trade Crede for Crisp in a heart beat... I don't know if the Red Sox would though.

I doubt Garland is traded... my view on this is that KW and Ozzie still want this teams strong point it's starting pitching... however, I fear that because of this, Contreras will be back as well.

I have a quick question... why does everyone seem so sure that Garland is 99.9% out the door?

QUOTE(DrunkBomber @ Oct 6, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) I jumped back online after taking a break and Im 2-1 on the day. I quit for the first time because I was playing a guy who was onside kicking every chance he got and always went for it on 4th down. My names Drunkbomber on there, I dont know if theres a way to search but if youre online try to find me and we can play. I'll send you a friend request through ps3 and whenever we are both online we could meat in one of the lobbies... I'm MPB on ps3 by the way.

I've been sucking big time in madden lately... record 24-23... I used to be 10+ games above .500 too

I'd take him in place of Terrero...

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 6, 2007 -> 09:27 AM) He's already pretty damn good. yeah, because he hit 30 homers? What about the fact he can't hit for average and can't get on base at over a .300 clip? He is a far ass way from being good.

what was the big gripe about Shines? I always liked him and I thought he did a fine job as our 3B coach... I guess to be a 3B coach on this team, you always have to be sending runner home...

why he shouldn't start: -holes in his swing -can't hit for powe -has not shown the ability to consistently hit and get on bass -no arm

I don't care... I don't think Chris Young will be anything special anyway. Probably better then BA however, but oh well.

QUOTE(SEALgep @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 06:31 PM) As a fourth outfielder and backup 1B, why not? then that would mean Jerry Owens being our starting CF, since Ozzie and KW love him as well, and I think his good final month almost guaranteed him a roster. Plus, like someone else stated, if Erstad is still on this team, he will be getting way too much playing time. And, Jerry Owens is not starting leadoff hitter quality. We need someone who is proven and can slug over .400. I got no problem with Owens on the bench as a pinch runner late in games and such and a spot start here or there, but thats all.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 10:03 AM) I'd prefer to be him, but whatever, not gonna happen, so I'll live. Utley is a beast... In a non-gay way, he probably has a huge wang also.

I am not a big fan of cutting ties with Terrero, I thought he would be a good 4th or 5th OF... maybe this still gives hope for Brian Anderson? Nah, odds are Erstad will be back. We can try and deny it all we want, but we all know deep down Erstad will be back.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 01:52 AM) You haven't won yet, though it's possible if they don't. I'd still be surprised if they don't offer him arbitration. I'd also be surprised if Teixeira signed an extension...he kinda has the same super agent who gets his guys to FA, gets them a huge contract, and lets them do whatever they want to. Well, the Braves gave up a s***load of talent up for Teixeria, and I think they really want to sign him to an extension. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Braves give into Boras and give Teixeria a huge, ridiculous contract. They did give into Daniels and gave him 5 pretty good prospects.

yeah... he ain't returning... Still love ya though Gooch!

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) says who? The Braves are offering him arbitration, and I imagine that's a given. If so, I wouldn't be surprised in the least to see him brought back by Atlanta next year, because it'll be hard even for Scott Boras to get Jones as big a deal as Hunter on name alone, and I'd bet that's who they are shooting for contract wise. Looks like I win They aren't gonna bring back Jones because they don't want to spend the money on him and are probably pretty much set on trying to sign Teixeria to an extension.

How long ago did Kevin Burrell scout for the red sox? If it was recently, good move, cause the Red Sox have built quite a pretty good farm over the past couple of years.

death please...

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Oct 2, 2007 -> 12:04 AM) I think a new rule should be made that you can not propose any trade involving Brian Anderson unless its for Neifi or Timo Perez. The guy has no trade value. my reasoning behind this is a) he still has talent and b.) the Braves aren't gonna be bringing back Andrew Jones. It looks like the guy they have down in AAA (his name escapes me at this moment) is the front runner to replace Jones, but they could always use some depth. Also, yeah, Anderson has no trade value in a sense he won't be the key piece in any deal, but as a throw in, some team wouldn't mind taking a chance with him. Hell, I bet once Anderson leaves here and talks to a different hitting coach he will rock. Seems to happen to us a lot.

Probably wishful thinking but hopefully.... Ryan Bukvich Jose Contreras Mike Myers Toby Hall Alex Cintron Darin Erstad Andy Gonzalez (wouldn't mind him in the minors to be honest) Scott Podsednik I'd go for Chone Figgins in the offseson to be the CF/leadoff hitter... not quite sure what the Angels would need however and I don't think we have enough to get him. I'd also try and get Renteria from the Braves... could a package of something like Contreras + money (money thrown in for 09 as the contracts would cancel each other out next year), Brian Anderson, and a prospect get it done? Also, it looks extremely likely that Crede will be brought back next season. Both of those trade ideas are probably unlikely, however they would extremely help this team... 1. Figgins, CF 2. Renteria, SS 3. Thome, DH 4. Konerko, 1B 5. Dye, RF 6. Pierzynski, C 7. Fields, LF 8. Crede, 3B 9. Richar, 2B BENCH - Lucy/?, Owens, Terrero, Ozuna, ??? (I'd love to get Wilson Betemit for this final bench spot but again, wishful thinking by me.) ROTATION - Buehrle, Vazquez, Garland, Danks, Floyd BULLPEN - Jenks, MacDougal, Thornton, Logan, Whasserman, Free agent/prospect

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 1, 2007 -> 08:02 PM) What, exactly, do you expect from Atlanta for Anderson? a bag of baseballs?

also, I find it hard to believe that Jason 'French Upper Middle Class' (The smart ones here will get it ) would just be released when he is a good player to have down in the minors and if Pablo isn't the same next year Bourgeouis would be the likely candidate to replace (similar players). As for Anderson, I see him Atlanta bound.
