February 4, 200422 yr Same old s***. Grapevine Levine was just saying the same crap. He says Magglio is done, and that we shouldn't figure any moves are being made before ST or until June, when they are expected to dismantle the team...
February 4, 200422 yr They said that? That they'd dismantle the team a.k.a. give up? I don't think they'd say that. And what exactly do you mean "Maggs is done"?
February 4, 200422 yr Author They said that? That they'd dismantle the team a.k.a. give up? I don't think they'd say that. And what exactly do you mean "Maggs is done"? Okay, what I heard was that they would dismantle the team, thats what Brucie said. Also, they say Magglio will test the market and be done with the sox.
February 4, 200422 yr Author "One thing might predicate another." This is what Bruce says about any moves that could happen. Bottom line: Next few days, look for a pitching move, and watch us deal Konerko.
February 4, 200422 yr By the way, someone shouted out for Soxtalk! Who was it.. (and dont tell me it was alittle MMM Beastly )
February 4, 200422 yr Author Who was it.. (and dont tell me it was alittle MMM Beastly ) According to being a long time reader, I wouldn't doubt it not being beastly.
February 4, 200422 yr According to being a long time reader, I wouldn't doubt it not being beastly. Sweet man. I've been a long time reader on this board you wouldn't believe how many months. It's great to know you are already familiar with what's going on.
February 4, 200422 yr Author Sweet man. I've been a long time reader on this board you wouldn't believe how many months. It's great to know you are already familiar with what's going on. I'd give anything to hear an MMM beastly around here again...
February 4, 200422 yr Okay, what I heard was that they would dismantle the team, thats what Brucie said. Also, they say Magglio will test the market and be done with the sox. Bruce also said the A-Rod deal was back on a few weeks back and even went on Sportscenter to discuss it. We all know how true that was. And Rauch611, in case you missed what went down this past weekend, the Sox aren't going to be making any moves. They are going to go into the season with the team they have now. That was made clear at Soxfest by both KW and Rick Hahn several times.

I remember that, I think it was even after everyone else had said it was dead, and then there was some 'rumors' saying it was back on. I will believe it when I see it.

As I said in my earlier post, Aboz, you know the Grapevine Levine...should have put it in green..but yeah I don't believe this garbage anyway...

That's not to say that Levine doesn't know whats going on, but this guy is so negative about this season that he just assumes the Sox will be in a position to dump players as the dog days of summer reach us. What's to say the Sox will be out of contention at that point? I think Levine is blowing way too much smoke out of his ass right now in regards to all of these moves he is talking about and already talking about dismantling the team before the season begins. I've almost heard enough of the guy.

All these guys that claim to be insiders, including that jag from boston, usually end up knowing nothing at all. They are usually wrong about every move and about every player going somwhere. After hearing him insist that the ARod deal was back on, even when all sides involved claimed there was no truth to it, makes it very hard to take anything this guy says seriously anymore.

You know, if someone posts a rumor or speculates about a possible trade, and it doesn't happen, that does not make them "Wrong".

If nothing happens, they say we told you ... if something does, it just came up.
February 4, 200422 yr That could also be a smoke screen by KW and RH to take some pressure off they're much reamed asses. If nothing happens, they say we told you ... if something does, it just came up. Of course they are goin to do that. No GM in their rite mind would say that they about to make a deal, cos then anotha team would prob come in and make a betta deal. Still I'm hopin for Konerko to be shipped out, and I think if Maddux signs with da Dodgers, the chances of this occurin increase quite a bit. I wonder if a new GM came in to replace Evans though would they move Greg Miller or Edwin Jackson to get a legiminate bat.
February 4, 200422 yr My problem with a lot of so called "insiders" is that a lot of times their sources use them to get stories out to serve their own purposes. With regards to Levine I think he took a big hit in credibility with the A-Rod thing a few weeks ago... He was sticking by his story even after the teams came out and denied it... If those are his real sources it's proof that some of his insiders are iffy
February 4, 200422 yr You know, if someone posts a rumor or speculates about a possible trade, and it doesn't happen, that does not make them "Wrong". If they speculate on something but it doesn't come true, then what is it? Levine had nothing to go on with his rumor that the ARod trade was back on. That was the biggest bunch of bulls*** I have ever heard.
