December 12, 200322 yr Here is what the Mock White Sox accomplished so far... AL CENTRAL CHICAGO Chicago (AL) trades Frank Thomas, Billy Koch, and Joe Crede to Cleveland for Bob Wickman, David Riske, Ben Broussard, Danys Baez, and Casey Blake Traded Miguel Olivo and Jon Rauch to Boston for Jason Varitek Traded Casey Blake to Montreal for Zach Day Signed Todd Walker: 3 years, $12 million One of the twists that we injected to add a little uncertainty to the proceedings was the announcement that Frank Thomas was demanding a trade out of Chicago. The White Sox managed to turn this problem into a plethora of relief arms, although they had to add Joe Crede as ransom. They were also the surprise winners of the Todd Walker sweepstakes, formally acknowledging that Roberto Alomar is over the hill. Baseball Prospectus article
December 12, 200322 yr When I read through the article, it was so funny. Griffey back to SEA, KC getting Piazza and Glavine (Mets paying their contracts) and Moss and Segui (O's paying their contracts) for basically Beltrain, Elvis, and a few more guys.
December 12, 200322 yr Here is what the Mock White Sox accomplished so far... Baseball Prospectus article Baseball Prospectus is a Joke.. Crede for Blake LOL!! Wickman??? LOL!!! Olivo???? Hello you so called Pros.. We don't wanna take on salary.. Duh!!! Olivo and Crede don't make a lot.. Sheesh
December 12, 200322 yr Baseball Prospectus is a Joke.. Crede for Blake LOL!! Wickman??? LOL!!! Olivo???? Hello you so called Pros.. We don't wanna take on salary.. Duh!!! Olivo and Crede don't make a lot.. Sheesh I don't know. Wickman ain't that good, but from what I can recall, Riske and Baez are pretty good pitchers, and Casey Blake fits the exact bill of a grinder. And I personally liked the Varitek trade. And Todd Walker....hello. I just wouldn't trade Blake for Day. We'd be stacked with relievers as it would be, especially if Wickman came back and pitched well. Riske, Baez, Marte, and Wunsch are all pretty good arms, and if we could trade something else to get Zach Day, I would be all for that move. I mean, we are basically rebuilding, are we not?
December 12, 200322 yr Cleveland is building around their young core...dumbasses Beastly, you kinda getting off by insulting people lately huh.
December 12, 200322 yr Beastly, you kinda getting off by insulting people lately huh. I've noticed that too. Im thinking of maybe bumping some of WSC's old threads: hows "Teens prefer", "The official fart thread", or when Beastly was concerned about taking a shower with other guys. But more then anything hes trying to win the Soxtalk award for Anger Management.
December 13, 200322 yr "Fantasy" is really the operative word after reading that garbage. How pathetic. I should apply to baseball prospectus. I'd be their head columnist. How's this - we trade Willie Harris, Aaron Rowand, and 2 A pitchers for Alex Rodriguez (they eat the salary) and Hank Blalock. Baseball prospectus - "COOL! We have an exclusive!" Whatever.
