I love Jose. But getting Clevenger and saving millions in the swap is good for this team.

class act all the way. please don't start juicing.

I do. rewarding cheating bums stinks. the only one i'd let in is bonds. he was truly great before he cheated. sosa and mcguire pushed him over the edge.

It may also indicate that Clevenger thinks the Sox aren't quite as hopeless as some fans seem to believe.

Sheets yes, Burger no.

I know Schilling is a douche, but he should get in. He was a great pitcher. Lots of athletes are jerks.

Sign Bellinger to a 1/2 season contract 7 million. 8 million option for second half. 1 million mutual buyout. Buy a little time for Colas. If CB is toast buy him out. Maybe his release wakes him up. If he bounces back, he'll make a ton from somebody else in July.

Who is to say either of them can make the first cut?

I always liked #1. Reminds me of Gary Redus.

nice post. I have your jersey in my closet. I also have a copy of baseball digest from 1972. guess who is on the cover?

plus he's almost free

18 taters and 37 doubles in Oakland. What does that translate into on the south side?

I didn't even know Jim Bowden drank.

Exactly. Could you even imagine the Sox having this problem? LOL

Sad to see. Also, totally necessary.

As Ralph Kramden said many times, "har de har har Alice".

It would help cut down on injuries a whole lot. It's kinda weird to see a guy lead the league with 220 innings pitched too.

Lux hit .175 in more at bats when he was 22. Getting started can be tough, but Sosa has always hit. If given a chance Sosa and Rodriguez will both be above average players in the majors. As a rule, the Sox are impatient with rookies.

Good reporter. Pretty good singer too.

Wally Backman.

Touche'

Maybe the Sox have already hired Espada? Just waiting for the World Series to end to announce it. Might explain why Miami didn't hire him.

Hey, is that Eric Soderholm in your post picture? He was pretty good for the Sox in 77-78. Probably would have been a really good player but for his knee problems.

Have the Sox interviewed Pants Rowland yet?

Checked baseball reference 4.1 OWAR -0.9 DWAR. Total WAR 4.2. Where did he pick up the extra 1.0WAR? Maybe his baserunning? In what universe is Jose a plus baserunner? If Jose is a 4.1 offensive 1B. Maybe all the other 1B are worse. Is it a down period in the AL for 1st base in general?
