February 7, 200521 yr The trade should have been centered around Lee, cash, & prospects for Hudson. But it's over now. Forget about it.
February 7, 200521 yr I do find it funny that people were talking all this s*** about how Konerko/Lee wouldn't cut it as the centerpiece, and then he trades Hudson for a 26 year old rookie that had about 250 at bats, a pitcher with good stuff that seems to be ending up as a setup guy, and a very good prospect. We definitely could have done better than that, but apparently King Billy didn't like our prospects. Anyway, this deal is long dead. Now I can just laugh at how Beane is slowly slipping as a GM.
February 7, 200521 yr I find it funny that those are the longest posts ever. Probaly longer than most work you have ever done. Well played!!!!

February 7, 200521 yr Author I would still defend this trade today, even if it is not possible to make it anymore. I do think this trade would have been great for the Sox. A rotation of Hudson-Buehrle-Garcia-Contreras-Garland could have been huge for us. And I think the A's will surprise a lot of people. They could be an 85 win team. That bullpen is incredibly stacked, and they have a lot of talent all around. I don't think they'll contend too closely, but they will be better then most think.
February 7, 200521 yr Jesus Wite, you put a ton of time into this thread, and what happened with hawaiisoxfn?

February 7, 200521 yr QUOTE(shagar69 @ Nov 5, 2004 -> 02:01 AM) no way A's would do this. beane is too smart for stupid s*** like this. (see koch, billy for Foulke, Keith). he will find a C waaaay cheaper that will be comprable to kendall. AJ Pierzynski > Jason Kendall. Good call.
