LMAO too f***ing funny.

I like scenario one plus signing Washburn or Garcia It works better now and for the future. Then if possible move Konerko and sign Palmeiro to add a power lefty to the line up, Thomas, Palmeiro and Lee would be a very good heart of the order.

I'm a big fan of Garland and I think he could be a solid #2 starter although more likely a #3 but until he finds some consistancy he should no higher than forth in our rotation.

Hitchcock would not have helped.

I agree it will be close but with the roster as it stand I see the Sox at the bottom. I still think something will be done before ST though.

KC has added a few veterans and should have Mike Sweeney for the whole year. Min has a solid offensive nucleus and will have Stewart as their sparkplug all season. We have the same old offence that did nothing last year.

Maggs for Nomar straight up no chance in hell I do that. If boston wants a prospect they gotta give more thatn Williamson. Probably a dead issue though, I hope KW has a plan b.

Unless some moves are made or a bunch of young guys all breakout next year this will be a fourth place team, third if we are lucky.

The best fourth place team in Chicago at this rate.

And we wait some more.

If this deal is for real they should stop waiting and get it done. I don't see how the Arod deal would have anything to do with this so I can't see that holding it up unless we are only getting this guy to include in the package for Nomar instead of Cotts.

From rotoworld Alex Rodriguez - SS - Texas Rangers Dec 17 It's possible that commissioner Bud Selig will go against the MLBPA and approve the restructured contract agreed to by the Red Sox and Alex Rodriguez. Boston and Texas said they settled on the players involved in the A-Rod trade, so all that's left to be dealt with is the contract. The MLBPA rejected the proposed deal and countered with a different proposal, which was unacceptable to the Red Sox. It's possible that Selig will step in and try to get the union out of the deal. "The basic agreement contains a rule that requires any special covenant to be an actual or potential benefit to the player," MLB labor lawyer Rob Manfred said. "In a situation like the current situation, where there was a restructuring, where the player was getting something and the club was getting something, (MLBPA official) Gene Orza is not the final arbitrator on whether the restructuring provides an actual or potential benefit to the player. The commissioner currently is considering his legal options in consultation with the two teams." Source: Associated Press

Hi Dan, Kenny here. About that whole trying to get Nomar and screw you thing. The media blew that way out of proportion. So what do you say Maggs two prospects and cash for Perez.

You mean three, John, George and the real Paul.

It will be broken again tomorrow.

Why are they waiting I think this deal needs to happen even if the Nomar thing falls through.

Come on now your avatar is the most distasteful one here.

I would love to see that happen.

Damn right I'm the third best Canadian poster on this site. I'll just ignore for now that there is only three of us I think.

Rotoworld says that the Mariners have offered Garcia a one year contract for over 6 million.

The same place we got the money for Albert Belle, every now and then JR will reach deep into his pocket and shell out some money for one big name player and hope that one guy will turn everything around.

Maybe Guillen was told to say this to make other teams think that we might not want to trade Maggs thereby allowing KW to try and get more in a deal.

Well it was either that or do nothing and give up on what was likly our only chance at the playoffs for a while. Rupe and maybe Webster will be the only guys that will amount to anything.

I'm guessing the prospect will depend on weather or not LA signs him. I think if they can't get a deal done LA will still non tender him and only give up a low rated minor leaguer.
