QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 09:20 AM) 6'5", 170???? Boy needs to eat. Seriously. I weigh 20 pounds less and he's got 7 inches on me. I think I seem to recall rotoworld called him a toothpick one time.

QUOTE(Rooftop Shots @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 09:53 PM) I'll robably get thrown off the board for this "Groaner" but here's what I once went as. I had a black kettle strapped around my neck and it was filled up with bars of "Dial" soap. There was a ten dollar bill attached to the kettle. When people asked me what I was. I said that the ten dollars was for any one who could guess what I was goingas. No one ever got it. You guys got any clues, before you peek at the answer? Answer: I went as a "Crock-a-dial" (crocadile) I read the board qute a bit, but don't post a whole lot. After this answer..........Do I still get to stay on the board? lol, no probly not

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Oct 7, 2007 -> 10:52 AM) Be sure to give us a Cornell review. I saw Soundgarden many years ago and have never again had the pleasure if listening to him live. yes And make sure he does Billie Jean. I still remember hearing that cover and not realizing it was THAT Billie Jean until he did the chorus, and I freaked out (cuz MJ was good pre-whacko days).

QUOTE(rockren @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 02:34 AM) For anyone to say that we wouldn't deal for Kendrick (the Angels wouldn't deal Kendrick for our entire Farm System) because we have Richar is crazy. This I do disagree with, even if just slightly. Gio and DLS, given one more year's worth of development, could very easily be worth more than Kendrick (if it isn't already). I understand the exaggeration, and if you don't consider those two, then I honestly imagine you could easily be correct.

Whether it belongs in here or not, Jose Martinez is another guy I think there's some hope in too. 6'5, 170, 19 years old and he put up some pretty solid numbers this year in Bristol. I guess I don't know much about him other than that, but he seems to be the kind of player to watch and see what happens.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 12:47 AM) Thank you, thank you, no applause is needed. Lol, I actually had every prediction right so far looking at the thread in every series but if there is one prediction I seriously hope I'm wrong of, it's the World Series prediction. I pray that Colorado gets it. It'll be nice to see Helton get a ring even though I'm a Kenny Lofton fan as well. But I love the Rockies and the city. Some players who you love to root for are more on the Colorado side. Wow, this post just made me realize Kenny Lofton does not have a ring. I didn't even realize that for some reason. As much of a dick as he was with the Sox, I've always been a huge fan, and I have to root for him to get it.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 16, 2007 -> 12:45 AM) If we package Gavin Floyd, Jerry Owens and Joe Crede, can we get Cole Hamels? And if we throw in Uribe, they'll throw in Rollins. Well, we might have to give them a little money, for Owens' salary. but if we are trading Owens, who is the centerfielder? I would assume we will just trade Brian Anderson for Chris Young, because Arizona prefers Brian Anderson anyways.

How perfect...Byrnes up, 2 outs, runner on, down by 2. You can tie it Byrnes...how badly are you outplaying them. LISTEN TO BILL NYE BYRNES, SLIDING SLOWS YOU DOWN and congratulations Colorado, you're incredible.

If you want to drink tonight, get Fuentes out of there.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 11:01 PM) Another dagger in the hearts of Cubs fans everywhere. Colorado is the last of the recent expansion teams to make it to the World Series before they do. And I fully expect the Rockies to win it all, too. Tampa Bay sucks. However, 3 down, 1 to go with Colorado, Zona, and Florida doing it...unless of course you are just talking NL here, then that's different I suppose. And, even if Arizona gets close and this guy hits a 3-run homer (he won't), Arizona did their part to maintain the equilibrium in the game today. LOL, and as I type this, he parks it. He won't...riiiiiight.

QUOTE(knightni @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 04:20 PM) Having the goodness of Jim Thome and the evil of Barry Bonds on the same team would be like combining two inert chemicals that, while harmless apart, together they will make a bomb that will destroy the universe. I think that bodes well for a World Series run.

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 04:07 PM) is this right??? One is 16-year-old shortstop Juan Silverio, who is playing in the Instructional League after receiving a $600,000 bonus. Yeah

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 02:43 PM) If ARod opts out, I do see the Rangers trying to make a splash in the free agent market. I imagine they would try to get more pitching, but there really isn't any worthwhile starters out there IIRC. Maybe they could make a run at Mariano? As I recall, Silva and Jennings are the top two starters on the free agent market. They are better off not spending money on pitching and just trying to develop some.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 02:20 PM) well it hasn't happened yet.. but saying that the Twins value Hunter possibly even more than Santana, that says an aweful lot. If the Twins re-sign Hunter, look for them to get a monster package this offseason for Santana. That leaves Rowand and Jones left, for some reason i can see the Rangers signing Jones. That leaves Rowand for us... i just hope KW doesn't over pay for him. If JD is getting 11 mill/ season, Rowand should at a maximum get 10 mill/season. .242/.306/.485/.791 Those were Jermaine Dye's splits on the day he signed his extension. It was for 2 years. He's also been injured (because of his body, not because he ran into a wall or had his ATV fall on him), saw his numbers drop dramatically this year, turn into a bad to mediocre defensive player, get slower, and get one year older (going from 33 to 34 is meaningful). Aaron Rowand put up a .309/.374/.515/.889 line, plays great though occasionally incorrectly rated defense (some people think he's a godsend, some think he's mediocre, but really it seems overall he's in between those two), is quite durable when he's not letting ATV's fall on him or running into walls (he played 161 games this year, and played 157 for the Sox in 2005), stopped running this year but doesn't appear to be completely slowing down, and is just entering his prime. Rowand's more valuable than Dye on the open market right now, and by quite a bit both in money per year and long-term. I do not want Rowand on the South Side for 6/$84, nor do I want him for 5/$70 or 6/$78, but he will get something very near both of those numbers. If it is the Sox, it's an understandable decision and it atleast plugs a hole, even if plugging said hole is only with a .750 OPS. I also think if we are giving a long-term contract to a CFer, I'd rather go with Rowand over Hunter. Hunter's ankle leaves me with big time concern for him in the long run.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 09:08 AM) It's the easiest decision this organization will ever have to make, so it's not like the have to think anything over. Yes, and once again, the only way he isn't placed on the 40-man is if he's traded. Those are about the only two things the organization can do.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 01:29 AM) The Cardinals were able to take advantage of a really weak NL. Yes, the Mets won 99 games, but two of their best pitchers were hurt for the playoffs. IMO if El Duque and Pedro are healthy the Mets win that series. They did beat a pretty good Tigers team in the WS. A pretty good Tigers team that couldn't throw the ball from the pitcher's mound to first base. Good or not, the Tigers played like absolute dogs*** in that series.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Oct 15, 2007 -> 12:16 AM) I think Kevin Youkillis is very ugly and I couldn't look at him for more than ten minutes. The way he runs, the way his face is formed, the beard -- and that monstrous batting stance. I really just hate that Joe Buck called him one of the most patient hitters in the game when - atleast on my scale - that is just untrue and he's stating that based on his "reputation" alone. He walks quite a bit, there's no question about that, but 77 walks in 145 games is not exactly what I'd call one of the most patient hitters in the game; if you are going to state that, then Paul Konerko, Kelly Johnson, and Kevin Millar are also among the most patient hitters in the game as well.

20 of 21. wow wowowowowwoowowowow

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 02:02 PM) lol thanks for your concern. Everythings alright now. ok Well that's good

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Oct 13, 2007 -> 11:49 PM) I hate when people lie!!!!!! I'm so angry! ok

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Oct 14, 2007 -> 10:31 AM) Wrong thread. that is wild

They better trade Dunn soon; clogging up the bases is bad.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Oct 13, 2007 -> 05:26 PM) Its looking more and more like the Twins will re-sign Hunter. http://www.startribune.com/507/story/1479785.html THat leaves Rowand and Jones..since Jones should and will get more money than Rowand, he is the best option for us. His agent is just obviously doing his job. He wont get that deal from anybody! If Hunter wants 5 years for 75 mill to stay in Minny, than Rowand shouldn't have a problem with 4 years @ 11 mil/ season. Maybe up to 48 million in incentives. If the Twins are willing to give Hunter that contract, he'll resign. I saw nothing coming from the Twins party right there, just Hunter's.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Oct 13, 2007 -> 04:39 PM) Sorry but I strongly disagree. You and others that seemed so concerned about Crede and his ability must have missed the 2005 season and World Series Yeah sorry, did the Sox win something or something? Is Jeff Suppan a star? 9 career postseason starts, 54 innings, 3.00 ERA - star? Crede had a hell of a run in 2005, but he's no star, and he's a major injury risk right now.
