Can you just imagine if Crede had been included into the deal instead of Reed though. We could have signed Corey Koskie instead of Jermaine Dye, and we probably could have gotten a better package for Lee, because we wouldn't necessarily still need a leadoff hitter, if we gave Reed the chance to do that. This isn't a knock against Crede though, I know a lot of people still believe he can produce one day, whether that'll be with us, I just don't think it will.

Take out Santana and imagine Minny's ERA. I'm interested to see what happens with the back end of their rotation in 2005? Will Lohse and Silva get better with another season, and will Joe Mays get back to his prior form before his did him arm?

Curry hit double digits in rebounds. Hell must have frozen over.

As soon as you posted Derek Jeter, that rumor lost all credibility whatsoever.

I think you could easily live with it if you were going to contend for the next 5 seasons afterwards, which is what the A's are going to do.

I voted Yay, although I could come up with a lot of overrated players.

Cora still had a .345 OBP against lefties and a OPS of .758, which is not bad at all for an infielder. The Sox need to look at either him or Cairo, since Polanco is likely going to be out of our reach financially, and the Cards will probably sign him soon.

Delgado wants a 4 year deal at $16 million a year. He'll get more than the $50 million 4 year deal that Richie Sexson signed, so unless the Sox make it hugely backloaded, Delgado ain't coming here. Period.

Most likely Konerko and Marte if it was 2, with Vazquez and maybe Alex Cora coming back in return. Willie Harris could also be an option maybe, but the Dodgers do have a depth of prospects at second base.

Even that quote showed he's still trying too hard.

Houston won't be stupid and non - tender him, they'll figure that could easily get something good in a trade for him most likely, if they can work something out quickly. Their rotation is very injury - prone as well.

Royals to non tender Asencio; He has a 1.43 G/F ratio in his short major league career so far.

Don't forget about Mulder's chronic hip problem as well. No doubt the Sox if they don't trade for him, will pursue him in FA whenever that is. (2005 or 2006 I think).

Aritcle from Ken Rosenthal that mentions the White Sox;

Lets break this down. Ozzie Grilli. Ozzie :fyou Diaz.

And that he hasn't had any success at all out of New York. Still if the price is right.......

We're all rooting for ya Bull, just make sure you impress KW and Ozzie in Spring Training. Are you expecting to make the Knights rotation, or even in the pen, or do you think you could be back with the Barons for the start of 2005?

Not sure about money wise, but he wants a 2 year deal;

Just throwing this out there;

Vince Carter = Puts Butts in Seats. Bruce Ratner will be most pleased.

Bora$$ client, plus he's a flyball pitcher I believe.

Wilson Alvarez is another, but the Dodgers are expected to finalise a deal with him tomorrow.

Jeremy Reed >>> Joe Crede
