A-Train better than Jones
Signin Jones is a big, big risk. I wouldn't be suprised if he tanks it for a few years now that's he got a nice long term deal. Then again, Priest Holmes went to KC and became a star, Shea's goin to try and do that to Thomas Jones.

Bears make offer to Kearse!!
Only thing with Ogunleye is that it would cost a 1st and a 3rd to get him, unless da Bears worked out a trade with the Vikings for Moss, and then traded Moss to the Dolphins for Sam Madison and Ogunleye.

Bears make offer to Kearse!!
I expect da Bears to go hard after Grant Wistrom, Marcellus Wiley or even Ogunleye from Miami now since they missed out on Kearse. Wade would hav been a nice RT for them as well, but he got a big signin bonus with da Texans so it looks like Tait is the guy to go afta now, although Dallas could be interested too.

Yanks Interested in Shoe
From the Star Ledger, Article Examples include Montreal right-hander Livan Hernandez, who is due to make $6 million this year, and Pittsburgh right-hander Kris Benson, who'll make $6.1 million. Scott Schoeneweis of the White Sox also intrigues the Yankees, since he's left-handed and makes only $1.725 million.

Reed and Borchard Article
TUCSON, Ariz. -- It wasn't long ago when Joe Borchard was the "can't-miss" White Sox prospect. After a couple of so-so minor-league seasons, however, the "can't-miss" label is hard to find. Such is the business of baseball that there is always a new phenom to tout, however, and before Sox fans could witness Borchard patrolling the outfield at U.S. Cellular for about 10 years, they may have to prepare for the Jeremy Reed era. Reed is considered the Sox's top prospect—at least according to Baseball America—and has many believing he'll be on the South Side at some point this season. "I hear that but I try to stay away from it as much as I can," Reed said. "I would love to be there today if I could." A second-round draft pick in June 2002 out of LaVerne, Calif., Reed has hit his way through the Sox system and is knocking on the door of the major leagues. In 188 minor-league games, Reed has hit .356. In 66 games at Double-A Birmingham last season, he hit .409. "[Reed's] a kid who has to play every day and not worry about coming down here and platooning or something," Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "But if the scenario is right for him, he will be on the team." General manager Ken Williams remembers when he was the club's minor-league director and he was watching a young Magglio Ordonez. Williams said there is a point when you can see when a player is ready to make the jump to the big leagues. It may not be reflected in the statistics, but it's in the way a player handles a pitch that used to give him trouble, or a certain confidence level he exudes. That's what Williams is looking for in Reed, and in some respects, Borchard. Although it's easy to say the two are battling for the same job, Williams doesn't see it that way. When Reed, 22, arrives in Chicago, he is likely to play center field while Borchard's future will be as a corner outfielder. Even though Reed may be the organization's new wonder boy, Borchard, 25, doesn't see this is a make-or-break season. "I'm still young, there's still a long way to go," he said. "Who knows what's going to happen?" If there is a lesson for Reed, it may come from Borchard's experience. In 2001, Borchard also tore up Birmingham. He hit .295 with 27 home runs and 98 RBIs in 133 games. He was tabbed as the Sox's best prospect and the second-best prospect in all the minor leagues. A broken bone in his foot delayed his start to the 2002 season and while his numbers that season at Triple-A Charlotte—.272, 20, 59—weren't horrible, they began a decline that continued last season (.307, 13, 53). This year he's considered the team's fifth-best prospect. Borchard doesn't see Reed as a competitor in the big leagues but as a future teammate. "When you see the young guys developing, you see who you are going to be playing with in the future, that kind of helps, you have other quality guys around you," Borchard said. For years it seemed as if the Sox were trying to acquire Anaheim's Darin Erstad. In Reed, they finally may have obtained him. "I love the way Darin plays the game," said Reed, who works out in the off-season with Erstad and the Angels' Adam Kennedy. "If he is whom they are comparing me to, I like that." There's a strong chance both Reed and Borchard will begin the season at Charlotte. But although the path for one has found a few potholes, the other is still driving in the fast lane. "The day the [major leagues] come, it's going to be great," Reed said. "But until then, I'm going to take it the way I've been taking it and keep plugging away."

Twins Dissing White Sox
They r tryin to convert Carlos Silva to be their 5th starter, which is a very risky move. No Mays, Milton and Rogers will show this year, when Santana gets injured.

Crazy Bears Rumor
I think Moss to da Jets is more likely. They need a big receiver to go with Santana Moss, 1st round pick could do it, sign a FA CB like Woodson to help on Defense. I've also heard John Abraham coukd be had for a 2nd and 3rd rounder, definitely a nice pass rushing DE.
-
Crazy Bears Rumor
I know da Bears really need a DE as do my Cowboys, and Marcellus Wiley from the San Diego Chargers was released from his contract today. Definitely a player worth goin afta.
