January 22, 200323 yr The Baltimore Orioles have offered Ivan Rodriguez and Jose Cruz Jr.(JCJ) contracts. It looks like the Orioles may get JCJ for under 2mil and I am not sure about IROD but it can not be more then 8mil a year. After we got Colon KW mentioned that Jerry Reinsdorf is serious about winning a world series, heck, he is closing in on 70 years old. I think getting JCJ at under 2mil is such a steal. He had a down year due to injuries last year, but was a 30-30 man the previous year while hitting from both sides of the plate and playing great D in centerfield. I do not have to talk about Ivan Rodriguez because everyone knows what he would add to this team. I know we need a pitcher but here is my plan for Reinsdorf. Sign Ivan Rodriguez to a 1 year deal and lace it with incentives. If we might only have Colon for one year, lets go for the whole #### thing this year and give a year to IROD. Put Olivo back down in the minors where he belongs for another year and let Sandy Alomar back up IROD when he needs rest. Go sign Jose Cruz Jr for one year and give him incentives too.....a one year contract for the both of them is not out of the question for us. After obtaining these two players are offense would be stock piled, even if it is only for a year. Take a look.... D.Jimenez I.Rodriguez F.Thomas M.Ordonez J.Cruz Jr P.Konerko C. Lee J.Valentine J.Crede Are you kidding me????? With this lineup, and the addition of Colon to our staff, and Koch and Gordon to the bullpen we should be a cinch for the AL Central. Then, down the stretch, pick up that veteran pitcher for the playoffs. Trade a few prospects to give us another solid pitcher to go in the playoffs with Colon, Buerhle , and Garland. Maybe we trade for Wood down the stretch, or if the Mets flop again we get Al Leiter. I just say things are looking good right now. But adding Irod and JCJ would make us WORLD SERIOUS
January 22, 200323 yr If IRod drops his price to the land of the real, yes. Cruz I could be open to. KW I trust like I trust a snake.
January 22, 200323 yr hold on there Kruz, you would bat Cruz behind Ordonez and ahead of Konerko? Cruz would be at the bottom of our order, 7 tops. he isn't that great a player, if even that good.
January 22, 200323 yr get f***in real.. each and every year jr says he is serious about going to the world series.. why should or would you believe it now??? hasnt happened in over .....omg its been that long......geez us..........there is no f***in way i even want either of those two losers here with us... not when we need a pitcher instead of a catcher and a half whit busted up cf......we dont need........foreget about it.. i wouldnt want it to happen.........none of it..........
January 22, 200323 yr A solid reliable veteren in the bullpen should be the top priority. Pitching is what wins championships.
January 22, 200323 yr thank you very much for pointing that out... they dont listen though......lol......if i had it my way we would be shoring up the pen.... but thats just me.. f*** irod..........

January 22, 200323 yr Sox say they are TAPPED out liar KW says , i-rod would be good 1 year. Not at the expense of adding bullpen help.

January 22, 200323 yr Author To you HOTSOX chick, I realize that we need another pitcher, but the remaining FA out there are BUMS, and for you to call IROD over the hill is insane, he is a future Hall of Famer. Cruz is better then Rowand. So if you rather have Rowand and Olivo....(both bums) starting the season over Cruz and Irod, you are the one in the wrong. You claim that we need another pitcher, which i do agree with you there, but if we do get another pitcher you will just bash him and say he sucks and why feel good about it until we win the world series. Your whole negative attitude when we got Colon makes me sick. By the way, nice mouth, shows alot of class. Jeff

January 22, 200323 yr Author Real classy, really classy. You disgust me with your language and for your info, looks like Rowand wont be ready by spring training. He is a BUM. You like Olivo and Rowand, but do not like Colon. Typical woman fan who thinks she knows baseball.
January 22, 200323 yr when do we all hold hands and sing Kum Bi Ya? Kenny's an asshole Lord, Kum Bi Ya Kenny's an asshole Lord, Kum Bi Ya Kenny' an asshole Lord, Kum Bi Ya, Get rid of him, Kum Bi Ya. We need a pitcher Lord, Kum Bi Ya, We need a pitcher Lord, Kum Bi Ya a good lefty reliever Lord, Kum Bi Ya, whose signed for the next 10 years. Make Carlos catch the ball, Kum Bi Ya, make Sandy's knees hold up, Kum Bi Ya, let Mark win 30, Lord, Kum Bi Ya, and shove it up KW's ass.
January 22, 200323 yr Real classy, really classy. You disgust me with your language and for your info, looks like Rowand wont be ready by spring training. He is a BUM. You like Olivo and Rowand, but do not like Colon. Typical woman fan who thinks she knows baseball. Uhh....kruzer....I'd delete that post if I were you. HSC knows her stuff....and she knows how to judge talent when she sees it. I'll take her word before yours....and when she's high on a player, they will probably be good. I think Olivo will probably be good.....and even he flops offensively, he's still got good defense and a great arm....and he's quick and fast....so when he does get hits, he can steal a base and get into scoring position....plus he brings 10-20 homer potential to the plate as well Olivo's good....and I think you'll like him. I haven't seen him play yet, but I think I will like him. As for Rowand....I think you'll be surprised by him. He's a gritty player that will play good defense with a good arm in the field and I think he'll probably hit .280 or so with 15 homers, 65 RBIs and 15-20 SBs with some pretty good bunts in there as well. He's better than anything we have for CF right now. The Sox have about another $3 mill to spend at most....you think we're going to get IRod at $3 mill? I don't think so...I'd have to agree in the fact that if we add anything more to the team that it should and will be pitching. You can never have enough pitching. Ever.
January 22, 200323 yr Typical woman fan who thinks she knows baseball. Spoken like a typical brainless neanderthal who thinks because he has two balls between his legs he knows everything about the game.

Typical woman fan who thinks she knows baseball. hey she is very well respected here and that was not called for. you are basically new here and have to earn your respect. she is know her baseball and regardless of her being a women. chill and peace.
January 22, 200323 yr Kruzer has a right to his opinion. And frankly, I can't really say he's completely wrong on his assumption. Remember, this is the woman who thinks Colon is nothing special, yet wants Suppan as our 5th starter.
