QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) The most pissed I was ever as a Sox fan was when we lowballed Robin Ventura after the White Flag trade. I even wrote a letter to the team. I hate to admit it now, but I was also very PO'd when the Sox traded Cameron for Konerko. Earlier in 1999 when Cameron scored from second on a sac fly, I was hooked. But, glad to have Paulie and that World Series Grand Slam.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Jul 4, 2011 -> 08:51 PM) Balk off win! Does Dunn get an RBI there?

When is Walker expected to make his debut?

QUOTE (dielac @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 11:49 AM) PK is on the final vote ballot. Lets get it done soxtalk. It's also in Arizona where the lives!! Let's get him voted in!!

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 10:19 PM) Would you trade Pierre for Fukudome straight up if you were KW? Straight up, salary for salary. I agree as well. KW had a quiet man crash on Fukodome a couple years ago.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jul 2, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) All I know is that he was put on the 60 day DL at the end of March. Guessing a major arm injury or arm surgery. Thanks, he really fell off the charts anyway.

Can someone please give me a refresher course of what happened to Kyle Bellamy this year? Is he hurt?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 1, 2011 -> 06:31 AM) Must I say it? Ok, I will. f*** it, the Cubs suck. Lets win this one You can never say that enough. Let's start a winning streak and get to one game over .500 by Sunday.

The supplemental picks are also starting to sign, and with the slotting system, he knows what he is going to get. Especially now that we know that he is playing, get the contract signed and report to Great Falls/Bristol/Kanny...........

I'm surprised Walker has not signed already as I would have thought the scouting staff would have known what the asking price is and what they were getting into with negotiations. With that, in case it happens, do teams get draft picks the following year as compensation if supplemental picks do not sign?

Please no Lucas Harrell, but I realize there are only limited options.........

If only Lillibridge would have let that ball hit him..............

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 22, 2011 -> 10:15 PM) Hawk during postgame never asked AJ about the Peavy deal tonight. Get some balls Hawk. Good analysis, agree totally. Pen was SOLID tonight.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:28 PM) well if Sergio sucks then team is really screwed because he's all we got out there as far as a closer candidate. I was worried about Santos tonight, but I'm glad Soriano missed those mistake pitches. Good night, Cleveland loses and Detroit is losing.......

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 21, 2011 -> 11:01 PM) Santos time. Bring him in. I hope so, do not like him in a multiple inning situation though.

What about Petrika? Have injuries limited him this year regarding his prospect status?

QUOTE (NHDadUmp-RI @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 10:44 AM) First year on the 40 Man, you're paid $32k. 2nd year $65k. Sure beats the $1,300/month in AA. Thanks for the responses on this, had no idea, totally appreciated.

With the "Poreda" watch this week, can anyone shed some light on a question for me? If someone is on the 40-man roster do they get paid the major league minimum? I was in Memphis last year and Timo Perez was playing for the opposing team and someone said he is making six figures, how can that be?

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 02:47 AM) I love hearing guys that have good grades and a degree willing to give baseball a shot. What's the harm in putting your resume on hold for a couple years while you chase a dream and have spectacular life experiences? Baseball goes away with age, jobs won't. Well said, I agree totally. I'm in management and a baseball fan, but even to the non sports fan, those who played college or minor league sports do get noticed in the professional world.

Would Poreda have had to been put on a major league 25 man roster or could he have been claimed on someone else's 40 man and sent to the minors?

QUOTE (Pale Sox @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 12:28 AM) I find it really hard to be excited about Thompson or Mitchell, which sucks because I used to be. I don't trust anybody with K issues in the low minors, regardless of tools. Agreed, and at some point here will come Keenyn Walker...........who from all accounts will have the same issues, but he can run.

I hope Dayan is on a plane to Minnesota tonight..........

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 08:20 PM) Dayan 3/5 I really hope he is on a plane to Minnesota tonight.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jun 13, 2011 -> 06:24 PM) Well, it's on Williams to do the right thing at this point and just designate Pierre for assignment. Ozzie's wishes be damned. He can cry to the media about it, but it's on Kenny to make the right move. Amen, just accept that Pierre does not have it. I do not see any of our division rivals picking him up, so give it a ride and release him. Is there any any chance that if KW trades or releases Pierre it voids the contract offset from the Dodgers?

We have room on our 40 man roster, give Cooper a shot to fix him.
