Thome will not being going anywhere. Plain and simple. Unless we work out a magic trade with either Cleveland or the Cubs, there are no trade partners. Plus, he has a full no trade clause. The only way we could possibly move him is if he was convinced by KW and Ozzie that we wouldn't compete anymore. And with the way KW and Ozzie are, they'd never admit something like that. QUOTE(fathom @ May 30, 2007 -> 03:43 PM) Yep, Danks is the lone untouchable in the organization. It's scary how many holes we have with such a big payroll. We're going to suck big time the next few years. At least if some young guys are getting a chance, it might be a little more exciting. This is about the most boring team I can remember. I completely agree. Right now it is so predictable what some of the old geezers are going to do game in and out. At least with young players there is that excitement you pointed out.

I am so glad I didn't bother watching the game today.... I didn't know it was an afternoon affair, but I could have easily checked and tivoed it...

Michael Burgess, cough cough

Aybar and McPherson would be ideal for me...

Glad to see Dye working hard on those commercials...

I'm getting sick of watching A.j. dog it down the line and such. I know he catches and all, but right now he looks like he couldn't care less about winning. I think we need to get a good young MLB catching prospect here pronto. Plus, my grandmother has about a good of an arm as he does. QUOTE(jasonxctf @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:54 PM) what would the Yankees give up for Dye? Abreu's hitting .233 with 2HR's. I think the Yankees will go into a sell mode to try and unload a lot of their contracts.

Also, I saw someone mention A.J... He is really pissing me off lately. I see no hustle what so ever out of him... how about that guy from Seattle? Jeff Clement I think it is. Wouldnt mind making a trade for him...

Lets see if Day actually has a great slider today.... Day did what Tracey could never do.

Who cares who the better hitter is? Does it matter? All that matters is that we SUCK!

Sizemore, Reyez, Peavy, Santana, Pujols

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 29, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) And yet they ignore the next Brandon Webb. Pity. truly is...

typical... But it really wouldn't have made a difference anyway.

One swing of the bat away from a save situation... hooray!

QUOTE(JDsDirtySox @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:21 PM) Thats the type of deal we need. The Pirates got Perez and Jason Bay from the Padres for Brian Giles. That'd be nice to able to get anything close to that for Dye... but I doubt it.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) I'd definitely like it if they tried to get Milledge while his stock was at its lowest. I don't even want them to make trades for this year....I'd rather they try to find guys that can be on the big league roster for the next 2 years or so. Speaking of buying low, last year on this other board I was on, I was hoping Kenny would make a deal for Oliver Perez... oh well. I guess that is why he is GM

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:06 PM) Hawk "the offense is starting to come around". What the f*** team is he watching!!!! PK is coming around... hey, looks like I have a good shot at winning the pick-to-click contest tonight at least...

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:05 PM) who should be the first three players traded? I vote: 1. Crede (find out if Fields can play). 2. Vazquez (somebody will want a pitcher). 3. Thome (Angels could use a DH). Crede - only if he starts hitting he will be able to get us something Vazquez - Why? He is fairly cheap and locked up for 3 more years. Thome - He ain't going anywhere unless we release him

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ May 29, 2007 -> 09:02 PM) chris young a double and a run scored tonight. Not like that would help us anyway...

I'll be honest with you all... pre-05, I despised KW as a GM... I am starting to remember why...

What are the odds that about the all-star break we are competing for 4th place with the Royals, and just everything comes loose? Ozzie goes on a rampage and after he resigns. Then KW gets canned and Rick Hann comes in and just re-does the whole minor league coaching system and get a new hitting coach with a new philosophy. And then do a mini-fire sale.

This has got to be the worst 2-out team in all of baseball... Is there even such a thing as a 2-out team?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ May 29, 2007 -> 07:49 PM) I thought we were going to hear about Brian Anderson complementing the Sox organization. I was prepared to be shocked. I thought the same thing... I was vastly disappointed with what the real topic of the thread was.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 29, 2007 -> 08:41 PM) You mean the slowest team in the major leagues isn't doing anything for you? How'd you guess? P.S... I love you Hawk, but shut up.

Uribe is god awful... I laughed when people said Uribe was fine and has turned a corner...

This team needs some young blood. Right now, they look like a bunch of lifeless bums. We need some youth. I guess you can say this is the new "If I were GM, I'd do this..." thread.
