TCQ- 50 HR's until 100

Damn, I only got one year out of my Swisher jersey, not a good financial move

Konerko, Thome or Dye all should have been traded instead of Swisher

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 10:45 PM) I don't think Clayton Richard and Poreda are comparable in any way in the front office's minds...we can't keep trading away our best prospects and not face a penalty with our payroll. Some of these young, pre-arbitration players (Anderson, Fields, Getz, Nix, Owens, Richard, Poreda, Broadway) have to start making a positive impact for the Sox. We got relatively lucky with Quentin, Alexei, Danks and Floyd, but we can't count on some many question marks breaking in a positive fashion every year. KW knows this as well as anyone. I obviously agree that Richard and Poreda are completely different situations. Poreda appears to be touted as a top of the rotation type pitcher while if Richard could someday be a solid 4 or 5 it would be fantastic. Obviously Poreda has more value and is viewed much differently than Richard. However, with two lefties in the rotation already it seems unlikely that both these guys would ever be in the rotation at the same time atleast for the next 3 years. It is very likely that one of them could be traded and more likely that Poreda would because he has much greater trade value. It seems likely that Poreda will be traded and thus I think Kenny is merrily attempting to improve his value. Think of all the top prospects the sox have had in the last few years that have been traded, Sweeney, Young, Reed just to name a few.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) So, after re-reading this, did anyone else think "Ok, we need to build up Poreda's trade value. Buddy, you want to handle this one?" I read it this way as well. Seems that Kenny is trying to boost Poreda's trade value as he could in fact be the one being shopped. The sox already have two lefties in the rotation who will be around for a while, and another one who looked pretty decent in September in Richard. It's odd enough to have three lefties in a rotation, and I never have heard of having four. In other words I wouldn't be surprised if Poreda was a fifth starter next year, but I would be if it was for the sox.

Should have ph Wise to lay down a bunt

Corpseball at its finest

HE GAWN

If Blackburn throws that to all our guys I think we'll be ok

THERE WE GO!!! Twins need to shank it to get hits, hitting it well isnt in the gameplan
