SoxWS05

93 wins, the glass is half full

Should be a good battle, I think Wasserman deserves the spot.

That was a great read and man was that loss to Toronto heartbreaking. I was also at game six with the rally socks when toronto won and celebrated on our field. I was 11 years old at the time but still remember it pretty clear. That season and BIG FRANK are the main reasons why I'm still a Sox fan today.

Floyd is probably just working on a few pitchers out there today. He will be fine when the season comes around.

"No, this sport is played on paper, so Detroit and Cleveland have already won the division. Sox will be lucky to finish 3rd...no wait 4th. No use in seeing how it plays out, fire Ozzie, fire KW, bulldoze the stadium." Signed, 80% of Soxtalk.

Yeah, I guess everyone's complaints get thrown out the window when opening day comes and you sit and watch the first game saying "maybe this team is good, maybe I was getting all worked up over nothing. I'm sorry KW, you're smarter then me."

No it doesn't matter what the Sox do, they could get arod, pujos and johan over the off-season and people would still be b**ching about Uribe! This board is just disgusting, christ people. Ozzie and KW are starting the best players they have available at each position, Yes Crede>Fields and Uribe>Ramirez. God, I can't wait for the season to start so people have real things to talk about instead of just speculation. I feel like Sox fans are rooting for Crede, Swish, Uribe, O-cab, Danks, Count, Floyd, Dotel, Linebrink, Anderson, Dye...to fail, so you can wave your finger and said I told you so. Make sure you complain about every player just to cover all bases.

I'm glad to see Crede starting, it sucks that Fields was sent down after such a promising year, but at least they made the right decision and started the best player at third. We should trade Fields and try and get a good starter for him.

Uhhmm...probably because he's the best third baseman on our team. I'll love how everyone just drags Crede's name through the mud a year after he hit 30HR and 90RBI's. Trade Josh Fields.

Yeah, Mark is probably one of the best teammates around and a leader in the Sox clubhouse. To bad the fans throw the players under the bus over nothing.

Good thing it's only spring training. It always makes me feel better to look at the starters spring era's from 2005: Buerhle: 2.66 Garland: 6.12 Contreras: 7.04 Garcia: 6.41 Hernandez: 8.25 McCarthy: 3.79 You just can't tell until the season starts, the ball jumps in AZ.

Great showing by the MVC so far. SIU, ISU and Creighton's miracle comeback win, make the MVC 3-0. That's the best I've seen SIU play all year, it would still be sweet to see them take the NIT.

Just another member of "Fields Fans" or "Field's followers"

HAHAHA...there might be ten teams Buehrle wouldn't be the #1. He's one of the most UNDERRATED players in baseball.

Not to start anything over Adam Dunne, but I bet if you find a Reds board there are a hundred fans complaining about him and how he should of been traded to years ago, now his big salary his hindering there chances of signing another starting pitcher or the development of some AAA player

Well he plays on that team doesn't he? I would not want him on the Sox. His K's are a killer in the middle of that lineup.

93 wins, playoffs, first place. Mark it down.

Yeah I thought Dunn was a little worse, change that to poor mans Richie Sexson. The key here is "poor mans". Also, Dunne puts up good numbers but I'm not sure he will ever play on a winning team and some of the fault lies with him.

Scott Boras is in the business of negotiating, as is KW. If they cannot or refuse to do it over personal reasons they will both be fired. To say a deal cannot be made is ridiculous, that's what these guys do.

KW also said he would not negotiate with Buehrle mid-season...boom 5 year contract.

If he comes in and proves himself healthy, I would give him 4 years 30 million. That's 7.5 per year. Good deal on both sides.

Not denying Fields will probably one day become a 40HR, 100RBI guy who k's 150+ per season and carries about a .330OBP. But he should ultimately become a first baseman. He is not better then Crede now, so Crede will start in '08. It's simple. If Crede is on the team he will start.

Yeah I remember when Fields hit 30HR and 90RBI's in '06...Ohhh wait that was Crede...Fields and his 125 K's in 400AB's helped the Sox win a lot of games in '07.

But Joe Crede is not a rookie anymore, it's 2008 now. Fields can learn how to play 3B in Charlotte.

Oh Sorry would Richie Sexson be better for you.
