October 29, 200421 yr BoSox will do everything they can to keep Varitek, but at the same time they ahve so many free agents that he could get lost in the shuffle. which is exactly how the Red Sox differ from the Yankees. Theo Epstein came out yesterday and flat out said, we know we arent going to be able to resign them all, and I understand. As frustrating as Varitek gets at times, I just can't see him anywhere else but in Boston.. Keep in mind, I couldn't see Nomar anywhere else but Boston either.
October 29, 200421 yr Gabe Kapler filed for free agency. He's an excellent ballplayer, a class act, and a team player with immense talent. If the White Sox trade Lee or something of that sort, I hope they look long and hard at Kapler.

October 29, 200421 yr have you bothered to look at his stats? No, I watched 176 Red Sox games this year, and missed his numbers. :rolly
October 29, 200421 yr Author No, I watched 176 Red Sox games this year, and missed his numbers. :rolly Kapler>>>>Timo
October 29, 200421 yr Kapler>>>>Timo I agree. I am sure Super Jew as he is called in Boston would bring alot of jewish people to the park aswell.
October 29, 200421 yr look, timo is the worst player in the majors, so i agree. that doesn't mean kapler should be considered a starter with us. there's only one superjew and that's mike epstein. i'm sure he could still hit better than kapler.
October 29, 200421 yr When does Arizona have to decide on the PTBNL? And who do you think they will get?
October 30, 200421 yr When does Arizona have to decide on the PTBNL? And who do you think they will get? Welcome to Soxtalk
October 30, 200421 yr have you bothered to look at his stats? Kapler= SOX KILLER!!!! If it weren't for the White Sox, the man wouldn't have a job in the MLB. Also, can anyone please explain to me why the Yankees declined Paul Quantrill's 2006 option today? According to rotoworld, the Yankees had to make a decision on the option by Monday. What kind of contract is that?
October 30, 200421 yr When does Arizona have to decide on the PTBNL? And who do you think they will get? Not sure, but it won't be much of a player.
October 30, 200421 yr Not sure, but it won't be much of a player. Because if it's B-Mac like, KW will be crucified.
October 30, 200421 yr Welcome to Soxtalk Thanks! I've been lurking for a while and decided to start posting.
October 30, 200421 yr Can anyone please explain to me why the Yankees declined Paul Quantrill's 2006 option today? According to rotoworld, the Yankees had to make a decision on the option by Monday. What kind of contract is that? He is getting older, and obviously not going to be worth $3.6 million in 2006. They have him for next season and could always resign him for less next offseason.
October 30, 200421 yr He is getting older, and obviously not going to be worth $3.6 million in 2006. They have him for next season and could always resign him for less next offseason. yeah, but why couldn't they wait to decline his 2006 option next year?
October 30, 200421 yr yeah, but why couldn't they wait to decline his 2006 option next year? Most likely just some kink in the contract.
October 30, 200421 yr yeah, but why couldn't they wait to decline his 2006 option next year? Because they're run by a bunch of goofballs? I honestly have no idea. They probably have their reasons.
October 30, 200421 yr Kapler= SOX KILLER!!!! If it weren't for the White Sox, the man wouldn't have a job in the MLB.

What kind of contract is that? Casey's 2006 option was picked up on the same day. Doesn't make much sence to me either.
October 30, 200421 yr Also karros was released by the a's in either june or july so he no longer has the team option. He is contemplating retirement from what i have heard.
October 31, 200421 yr Also karros was released by the a's in either june or july so he no longer has the team option. He is contemplating retirement from what i have heard. I removed the team option part.
October 31, 200421 yr Casey's 2006 option was picked up on the same day. Doesn't make much sence to me either. After Larkin leaving, this was a fan friendly move.
October 31, 200421 yr After Larkin leaving, this was a fan friendly move. You got that from rotoworld.
October 31, 200421 yr You got that from rotoworld. My down under sources will remain anomymous thank you very much.
