QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 03:10 PM) As long as we're not tossing in cash with Uribe, I'd probably be down. I didn't realize most of Baldelli contract was based on escalator clauses which weren't met to his chronic injuries. I could see us giving someone a mil just to get rid of him. Sad, but true.

Better than any newspaper, thank you

This may be a Top 10 Thread.

Injuries are a part of the game and I would not worry too much about Rowand in that regard. After all, as noted, it's how he plays the game. That is different than a guy with some chronic problem that flares up getting out of the shower. 5/60 could be a bargain if he continues to trend upwards, of even stays close to last years numbers. And signing players is all about where they will be in throughout the contract. I'd like to see him back in a Sox uniform next season now that Hunter is gone

Heading out to South Padre Island and having lunch at one of my favorite places. Then working a couple hours. I love the beach when the tourists have gone home, it's kind of empty. That will be January.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Nov 22, 2007 -> 04:45 PM) Nice in theory, but much work is left to be done to get into that position. Maybe Linebrink is a piece, but overall this team sucks. Our third-5th starters are Count, Floyd and Danks. While all have (some) potential, it's a very ugly rotation if these guys don't really step up. We also have no leadoff, no CF, questions at 3rd and 2nd and our proven good players are getting older by the day. Pretty accurate description. There is reason to be optimistic in a couple of those spots. I like Floyd or Danks to have a solid season. It is not crazy to think a healthy Crede will answer that question in a positive manner.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I think too many people do not know what an awesome band Fleetwood Mac was before the girls joined. I loved Rumours, but it just destroyed their old catalog. Same with the Bee Gees and SNF

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Nov 22, 2007 -> 08:51 AM) Who the hell cares what Rowand thinks. If he is that brittle emotionaly then I wouldn't want him here for 1 dollar. I believe the point is when Rowand is comparing his options, a team that always had him #1 may have an edge over the team that traded him and then put a lot of efforts into signing a different FA instead of him. Simple emotional decision. Believe it or not, a lot of people have pride and egos and like to be #1. Now a lot of people also swallow that pride if enough money is involved.

Now that it is official, and he is not a Sox player, there is a thread opened in Trade Winds.

QUOTE(G&T @ Nov 22, 2007 -> 08:18 AM) Score reports 5/ $90 million I now re tract any statements. Yuck. If the 5/$90 is true, I believe that moves Mr. Rowand into the $75 - $80 range. Hunter and the Halos set the market. And sometimes you win by losing. I would have liked to see Hunter in a Sox uniform, but I also would not mind Jones or Rowand. What would really be cool is the Brian Anderson that he thinks he is.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 10:49 PM) It is a crapshoot of sorts. Even the Angels released starting pitcher and head case Bobby Jenks..... fixed that for you. The Sox really took a chance there. Turned him into a relief pitcher than THE closer on a playoff team.
