August 30, 200421 yr Pavano is my number 1 choice. I'd love to have JD Drew but like you guys have already said Boras is his agent. I'd also love Vizquel and/or catalanotto. Bullpen wise Williamson would be awesome, I also like the idea of Percival.
August 30, 200421 yr JD Drew is a cripple. He spends most hit time on the DL. G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG AVG 115 424 90 129 21 5 28 78 244 81 93 10 2 .417 .575 .304 Looks real cripple to me. :headshake
August 30, 200421 yr Who Whoa Whoa...is Jacque Jones a free agent or is he arbitration eligible??? If he's a free agent, get his ass on the southside pronto, then add a starter and some relievers. Mota would be amazing, but why would the Marlins deal him. He's still not gonna get a big raise for a while.

August 30, 200421 yr If I was picking between Benitez or Percival, I would take the ladder. What ladder? THIS ladder?
August 30, 200421 yr My point is, Benitez is going to get huge money, while Percival, when healthy is dynamite and you could probably get him at a reasonable price. I think if he's willing to take a fair deal with some incentives (to protect the Sox in case he would get injured) then he would be a huge upgrade. Not saying its a must, also wasn't aware of Williamson going down. That sucks I always liked him. Isn't this the second time he's had this surgery or am I mistaken?

August 30, 200421 yr I honestly dont even get it. You said "the ladder", it is "the latter". I was just joshing about the term you used.
August 30, 200421 yr You said "the ladder", it is "the latter". I was just joshing about the term you used. I found your humor amusing sir
August 30, 200421 yr I found your humor amusing sir Thanks. That pic seems funny to me even if it was meant to be serious. It reminds me of Terry Gilliam's animations from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"
August 30, 200421 yr Benitez is still kinda scary to me. Benitez Batting average against in his career is .185, 1.18 whip, and career 2.86 era.
August 30, 200421 yr Who Whoa Whoa...is Jacque Jones a free agent or is he arbitration eligible??? Don't drowl Jas.. Damn pretty soon were gonna be gettin ex-twinkie players just like the ex-indian players we have now..
August 30, 200421 yr Who I would want- SP- Eric Milton RP- Steve Kline SS- Orlando Cabrera OF- Jacque Jones In a trade: Octavio Dotel
August 30, 200421 yr Who I would want- SP- Eric Milton RP- Steve Kline SS- Orlando Cabrera OF- Jacque Jones In a trade: Octavio Dotel Eric milton still blows.
August 30, 200421 yr Who I would want- SP- Eric Milton RP- Steve Kline SS- Orlando Cabrera OF- Jacque Jones In a trade: Octavio Dotel No thanks to Eric Milton, Kline would be nice, Jones would be nice, Uribe is a cheaper and maybe even better version of Cabrera.
August 30, 200421 yr My List: Pavano-He is a must. We need another young stud in our rotation. Let Ozzie sweet talk him. Vizquel-Renteria? No way he's leaving St. Louis. Vizquel is everything we need. He gets on base, solid D, contact hitter, he's a perfect fit for this team. Sure he may not be a long term solution, but he's cheap! 3B-Casey Blake/Corey Koskie-The Indians will deal Blake this off-season, especially since they signed Aaron Boone. I don't buy that b.s. of you don't trade with division rivals. If he's on the block then snag him! Koskie wouldn't be a bad idea either Bullpen-Get two guys from that list, and pray to god Adkins and Cotts can step up. Goodbye Mike Jackson!! CWSOX45
August 30, 200421 yr No, he is a solid set-up man. I agree he was one of the best if not the best setup man in baseball when he was setting up for Wagner, now as a closer he'd scare the s*** out of me.
August 30, 200421 yr Does Minny still plan on non-tendering Johan Santana? It was rumored before the season started. I want to see at least two of these pitchers next year; Pavano, Odalis Perez, Russ Ortiz, or Zito (trade.)

Whether you hate garland or not he's one hell of a number 5 starter.
August 30, 200421 yr No, he is a solid set-up man. He is a closer.. a mediocre one at that. 35 IP, 7 HRs given up, 4 blown saves, and an ERA of 4.54.
August 30, 200421 yr He is a closer.. a mediocre one at that. 35 IP, 7 HRs given up, 4 blown saves, and an ERA of 4.54. But if we got him we could use him as a setup man to setup shingo, however I doubt we trade for him anyways, so it doesn't matter.
