QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:32 AM) I don't want to mortgage the farm this year just because of the fact I don't think there is a glaring weakness on this team. We're going to be adding frank within the next few weeks which right there will be a bigger bat then any other team could add. I definitely wouldn't mind adding a bullpen arm but I think we have some good in house options there as well with Baj and maybe Jenks. If there is a chance to get Wagner, Kenny should explore that avenue but Bmac should be untouchable, period. I don't want to give up anderson for the fact that he's going to be starting full time next year and I just think so highly of sweeney that I want to hold on to him as well. The guy I'd be willing to center a package around that could net us something in a trade is Sean Tracey. I'd be willing to deal Tracey before Gio Gonzalez but that's just me, I know Jason and Cerb are pretty high on Tracey, and he's having a very good year down at B-Ham. In any case, the top guys in our farm should be off - limits.

Let that little Royals girl become the new owner.

QUOTE(C_LEE45 @ May 23, 2005 -> 10:08 AM) robby alomar i just wish if we trade its an impact player like Chavez,Wagner or hey Abreu Could see that coming. Really there aren't that many holes in this team. First and foremost I'd like to see us acquire a lefty LOOGY who can actually get lefties out. A closer would be nice, but I don't want to sell the farm to get one. B-Mac today showed how important it is to develop young players.

QUOTE(bulokis @ May 23, 2005 -> 11:15 AM) If Konerko wont be back, we need a big LH bat in the middle. If we can trade for Teixeira bcoz they have that Adrian Gonzalez waiting. Scott Bora$$ client. Trading for Gonzalez is more likely.

Kevin Millar has hit for pretty much no power this year. He's a great clubhouse guy, but I don't think he'll be our main target. Erubiel Durazo is one of Beane's love childs. And he pretty much can't field at 1B. He's a DH specialist, so we'll have to see what happens with Thomas and Konerko. My guy I'd go after since we're naming them, J.T Snow. Lefty bat, won't break the bank, hits for a high average and a gold glove first baseman.

QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ May 23, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) I would trade Frank to the Angels for Casey Kotchman 1B and Jake Woods P The Angels certainly have a great farm system. Kendry Morales homered in his first game yesterday in high A ball, and Ervin Santana had been dominant because he got roughed up by Cleveland last week. Here's a guy the Sox could look at though, Chone Figgins.

Paulie did good to get a good swing on that pitch too.

Hmm...

. There.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ May 22, 2005 -> 04:50 PM) did i say they would? im just saying that of the two who seemed like they were on the trading block... Carlos has done better than Konerko.... also we might of been able to traded Konerko for maybe Juan Pierre before Marlins signed Delgado... but in the end we are all 31-12 so good luck Carlos but i guess we dont need you.. It was more likely they were going to deal Castillo before Pierre anyways, and if we did that, we wouldn't have Iguchi. Things couldn't have worked out better quite frankly.

It was inevitable. Now I'd love to hear Arnie say that.

The Dodgers will probably keep Gagne. Once Valentin is healthy again, they really don't have many holes that they need to trade such a dominant guy in Gagne to fill. Sure Brazoban has done good, but who's going to set-up for him in the 8th? Is Kelly Wunsch going to pitch as good as he has so far for them? I'm of the view that a lefty LOOGY who can get lefties out is more important than a closer right now. Also Bob, you asked where has our farm system gotten us in past few seasons? Your point is taken, but it's still extremely important for the Sox to develop guys that they draft that they can put into the team at such a cheap cost, to help put money into other more important needs. Anderson is very, very close to joining this team, just needs to work on some little things such as his K/BB ratio, and get some more AB's. Ryan Sweeney, Chris Young and Jerry Owens are looking good down at B-Ham, B-Mac is already up with the club now, and Gio Gonzalez was absolutely dominant early on down at Kanny.

Don't make me post your picture.

QUOTE(Spiff @ May 21, 2005 -> 03:13 AM) What about him? Nothing. Just a good ice breaker.

From the Daily Times;

Pinned for the SNR brass.

More talks to LaToya about the wonders of choking I hope. Sounded hilarious by the accounts.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ May 20, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) The next time any moron here defends Paulie over Frank, they can go to hell. I remember how some of these fools were kissing Paulie's behind when he called out Frank a few years back. Paulie is so over-rated it is not even funny. I wish we had traded him in the last offseason and signed Delgado instead. Would we have gotten the same package as what we got for Lee? Would we still have Pods? Would Jermaine Dye be around to wake up from his slumber? Also, if we let Paulie go, there aren't that many great first baseman available to sign this off-season.

Tampa Bay picked up Alex Sanchez, when they already have Joey Gathright and Johnny Gomes in AAA. Says it all really.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 21, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) Awesome review. ^^ that. Certainly summed things up. I know if the PS3 is going to be over $500 down here, I ain't gonna fork out that much for one. On the games I most wanted to see, well I was very happy with all the vidoes I was able to see of the Movies, including a 15 gamespot live presentation with Peter Molyneaux (who someone is about 33 even though he looks 55). Can't wait to start playing that when it comes out round September time. Killzone 2 was one hell of a video. Great looking graphics, one of those in your face games. Looks the goods.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ May 21, 2005 -> 07:13 AM) Hurray! Going to a minor league game today. I am not kidding--this is the best day ever. Ever. How'd you convince someone to go see a Binghamton game with you?

QUOTE(3E8 @ May 21, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) I think the problem is that you're driving a 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis. I drive a 1989 Honda Prelude. I call it Hubert.

And another one of my Fantasy League #1 players bites the dust. I feel like Dusty Baker.
