December 9, 200322 yr Seriously, are we going to sign anybody this off-season, I think not, we went after Millwood, he will accept arbitration from the Phils. Bartolo goes to Disneyworld, Guardado goes to the northwest and oh wiat we did re-sign Sandy Alomar Jr. Who are we going to sign, honestly?
December 9, 200322 yr If ANY of the fine people on this site have any baseball playing experience at all (including whiffle ball!), and will "work cheap", (and don't need a multi-year contract), the Sox may sign you!
December 9, 200322 yr Personally I think we will go after Freddie Garcia (seattle) for pitching, Denny Hocking for 2b, and another reliever (unknown) for the pen. That's it unless the Konerko trade happens. If someone offeres top prospects for Maggs we will also take that. Pure speculation on my part.
December 9, 200322 yr What about Ponson I'm still going to hold out hope for him Ponson wants too much Moolah. Money i'd rather have spend on Colon. If seattle Non-Tenders Garcia i would like him here.
December 9, 200322 yr well, so far, Worrell, Lightenberg, Stairs and the guys of our own we are not signing have all been too rich for our blood. So, I'm guessing we won't be spending a lot of money on free agents. Call it a wild hunch.
December 9, 200322 yr I want Freddie Garcia on the SouthSide, and I beleive he will be. That would be great. Guillen knows Garcia, & Don Cooper could work with Garcia and bring him along slowly. With Buerhle already the staff ace (by default) & Loaiza as the probable 2, Garcia wouldn't have any pressure of carrying a staff.
December 9, 200322 yr I want Freddie Garcia on the SouthSide, and I beleive he will be. Tony - what teams are in your avatar? I can only see the big hit, but can't make out what the jerseys look like...
December 9, 200322 yr Its big Todd Bertuzzi of Vancover, and I beleive he is hitting someone from St. Louis. I wanted the Hawks, but this video I like stummbled on, and I liked it, and i dont know where to find others. When I saw what looked liked blue jerseys, I wasn't sure if it was the Blues or the Maple Leafs. Cool avatar though.
December 9, 200322 yr The thing i have learned this offseason. Don't get excited over any rumor that's "close to being done". I'm looking at you LA
December 9, 200322 yr I want Freddie Garcia on the SouthSide, and I beleive he will be. For a team crying poor, I think Garcia is way too big of a risk. He's gonna get around 8 mill next year and unless the Mariners take Konerko for him, it just doesn't make sense.
December 9, 200322 yr Also the chances of him being non-tendered are slim to nil, I think y'all are getting suckered into another clubs pressure tactics to get a player to avoid arb.
December 9, 200322 yr Denny Hocking? That hurts to think about. He hit .239 with 3 homeruns in 83 games with the Twins last year. We really do have low standards, dont we?
December 10, 200322 yr Denny Hocking? That hurts to think about. He hit .239 with 3 homeruns in 83 games with the Twins last year. We really do have low standards, dont we? But ... but ... but he's a grinder.
