  1. Oh, yeah. Not a trade, they just cut him. Stupid Bonus Baby rules back then. They kept another bonus baby named Bruce Howard; The White Sox just keep stepping on their dicks.
  2. Braden is tired from filling out all of those change of address forms and shaking hands with new teammates.
  3. I'm not an accountant, but I understand a few things about taking a loss. For example, if, near the end of the fiscal year, the team is looking at a taxable gain/profit of $X Dollars, all they have to do is pay themselves or other family members a bonus, no matter how large or undeserved, and voila you have a loss.
  4. I wonder if Sosa was hustling to second base,
  5. Horrible at bat with game on the line.
  6. Do they keep track of stats? I doubt it.....
  7. He should get no credit for the 1959 team. Then he made a series of dumb trades.
  8. Red Sox GM > Getz.
  9. I see that Wolkow is 4 for 4, all K's. About a month ago I heard some guy on MLBN say that if a guy has a severe strikeout problem in the minors, he hardly ever would stick as a major leaguer. Paraphrasing. I tried to come up with an exception to that. I'm sure there are a few.
  10. I wish Getz would try to explain why he did this.
  11. Probably not third. I would stick him in left.
  12. I get real tired of Hot Dogs like the Seattle LF, who just has to show up the pitcher whenever he hits one out. I know young guys like it, but there are a lot of great players in the Hall who would never have pulled that s%*#. Ryne Sandberg is one.
  13. Just about every year.
  14. Why, so everyone can still list him as a Top Prospect? Will Getz keep him on the 40-man next year? Probably. Then he can tell everyone how good he's gonna be.
  15. Hey, Spider, I'm not saying it's an issue with me. I'm just surprised the Players Association never brought this up. You know, a few dozen players being tossed around in the middle of the season at the whim of the teams, upsetting the wives, etc. Maybe it has been secretly brought up, and there already is a quid pro quo. Not a big deal to me.
  16. Are Sox done with Clevinger yet?
