KW= Blah Terry Ryan= GOD Hugh Difference.

Drew looks sexier in a Boston Uniform... I love this deal btw.. Name one other team with this many 4th OFs??? I dare you...

Thanks for that.. I always thought he was a very good guy and little things like this proves it.

We don't have to pay nothing in the minors.. for doing nothing.. We do have to pay Dubee

IS the Phils GM trying to rebuild the 2005 White Sox in Philly.. each year he gets another piece to the puzzle!

We could also trade him straight up for A-rod to play SS.. Both are unlikely to happen though.

expanding the payroll, no farm system.. Ask the Yankees and Cubs how that is working for them.

Other than Mark and Vazquez.. there is no one I would care to keep. Even if we Send DYe to the cubs for Patterson..

So.. 3 teams 2 players.. What am I missing here? KW jumped the Gun plain and simple. Guchi is a good player, its too bad Ozzie didn't keep him in the 2 hole, he would have shined this year. Question.. Did Iguchi not sign a baseball for you.. is that why you are on this rant?

With Mets, Padres and Phils all looking for 2b.. the best we get back is a A RP who will never make it to the majors?

And if that is all KW gets.. You need to shut your mouth.. He knows more than you... that's what we got told in Spring training.

Ryan Raburn, OF, DET – Rayburn is a 26 year-old semi-prospect with decent power and questionable defensive abilities. Hard to argue with results though: 10 for 20 with three home runs and the game of a lifetime against the White Sox (though he may have encountered tougher pitchers than Jose Contreras while in the minors.) He's been filling in at all three outfield positions. The Tigers will keep working him in as the fourth outfielder until Marcus Thames returns. He's an OK AL-only pickup but nothing more.

I am waiting for KW to trade someone to get Alomar back next year...Both of them.

Depends on who shows up.. Judy or Jon.

I love it when you analyze !

exactly.. unless we go outside our Organization to get a new scouting dir.. nothing will change.

Wow, you just throw anything out there to make it seem like KW is a God..

Don't tell me you think a farm system is a quick fix?

I guess you missed the part where they (DET) is replacing him with Maggs.. And the fact that Shef is only signed till 09.. and also leads us by 14.5 games in the division.. Miller is still better than what we have coming up.. Maggs is past their prime.. Man i wish we had a past a prime guy who was leading the AL in hitting.. Inge had a prime? I guess having a farm system, young talented core and proven front office.. and someone points that out.. they are bias... Because he also brought the farm dir and international scouting director and is setting up the same system the Braves have.. I would say yes. I have more faith in him building a winner through the farm system than KW. Are you going to be around in 09? I'm pretty sure they are saying that..Since most fans are bias of the front office.

Juan Uribe?

Man I wish we had a dinosaur that hit .298/23/67! Instead we are stuck with one DYE.. who is worse than him. And when he is getting up there they can move this player named Maggs to the DH.. Rodgers is getting replaced by Miller.. So they have Bonderman, Verlander and Miller.. Wasn't it you who said that all you need is a good staff and you can make the playoffs? I guess, that formula only works if its for the Sox? DET is a powerhouse for the next 2-3 years.. bank on it. Yep.. I'm dead wrong.. they only made Dayton Moore their GM.. who came from the JS camp in ATL. You know the same JS who has had 14 chances to win it all.. how many has KW given us? Is that your basis for everything, a GM has to win a pennant to be considered good? If The Cubs when the Pennant this year, does that automaticly make Hendry a good GM? I have no idea what in the world you mean by that.. Hawk as GM and TB as manager.. " And with the 1st pick in the 2029 MLB Draft for the 15 year in a row the Chicago White Sox select....."

If you took as that.. I am sorry. I just don't see how not making the playoff is a good thing for a GM, all while completely gutting a farm system to do it. Then to have one of the worse teams in franchise history to his credit. Maybe I am missing something. Let me point this out.. I can have no faith KW will ever put together a winning (make the playoffs) team on the field again. I feel 2005 was luck and that Ozzie was the main reason not KW for the change in thinking, we have gone back to the 2004 days.. and he refuses to rebuild a team that is old and under preforming.

29th.. I honestly don't think KW can master a rebuilding plan. I have said for a number of years that our whole farm system has to be overhauled from the top down. Every good team has a good farm system.. We have nothing Fields is the first spect in 7 years to come up and look like MLB player. 1 spect in 7 years.. that is downright awful. We are a middle market team, we need a farm system.. we don't have one.. we won't be ready for another playoff birth until we have one.

If you like coming in 2nd in at the time one of the worst divisions in baseball more power to you.. That is like if the Cubs finish 2nd they can brag they had a winning season.. WHOOPPIE

You are right we tried it once, it didn't work here.. That means it will never work here.. Funny, didn't we wait over 40 years for our pennant? Hell I wish I could have had to only wait 20 years... "Success" is building a team that competes for a certain time and makes the playoffs more than once every 7..(and counting) years. I would trade places with the Tiggers right now in a heart beat, they have a shot of 2-3 titles..with the Young staff good hitting and great Farm system. 14 Chances to win it all.. Exactly how many times has KW teams had a chance? I would but like most things it will go over your head.
