December 9, 200421 yr Good signing. Especially for the price. We now have two spots to fill... a starting pitcher and a middle infielder.
December 9, 200421 yr ESPN is also reporting that sources are still mentioning as possible the three way trade with the Yankees and Diamondbacks that results in us getting Vazquez. That woould be tight.... The rotation would be set for awhile with alot of talent all under the age of 33.
December 9, 200421 yr Author You beat me by seconds, EvilJester. Watch out now!! I'm just too quick...
December 9, 200421 yr Had anyone predicted how much money we had to spend going into this offseason? I'd like to know how much of it we have used now.
December 9, 200421 yr Had anyone predicted how much money we had to spend going into this offseason? I'd like to know how much of it we have used now. i've heard up to $75, but not sure what's left to spend.
December 9, 200421 yr Good signing by the Sox. Dye can be just the type of player the Sox need and they got him at a relatively low price.
December 9, 200421 yr Had anyone predicted how much money we had to spend going into this offseason? I'd like to know how much of it we have used now. Some posted that we are at about $69 million for 2005 so far.
December 9, 200421 yr Author I would have to think if the Sox are going to get a SP it will be through a trade...
December 9, 200421 yr I would have to think if the Sox are going to get a SP it will be through a trade... It would make sense. That way we can move some payroll, and still be able to fill other holes.
December 9, 200421 yr Some posted that we are at about $69 million for 2005 so far. including dye or not?
December 9, 200421 yr including dye or not? Including Dye and Hermanson. IIRC we were at about $63 then we brought those two in for $6 million in 2005.
December 9, 200421 yr Including Dye and Hermanson. IIRC we were at about $63 then we brought those two in for $6 million in 2005. 7 To get Orlando Cabera 5 to Get a Sp And just enough left over in the 75 mill projected payroll, to pay Polanco to sell Peanuts!
December 9, 200421 yr GREAT SIGNING KENNY! I'm so enthusiastic about Jermaine. I really think he could have a great season with us!
December 9, 200421 yr 7 To get Orlando Cabera 5 to Get a Sp And just enough left over in the 75 mill projected payroll, to pay Polanco to sell Peanuts! By my calculations you have us spending $81 (you edited down a little but not quite enough) million of our $75 million budget. I'm guessing that they're trading for Vazquez and signing someone to fill the middle infielder spot. I'm hoping for Renteria but it will probably be someone cheaper. I'd be happy with Cabrera too. That would put us a little over budget and the trade would still leave us looking for a 5th starter and a little short at first base since Garland and Konerko are part of the trade. I'm not real worried about first base as I think Gload, Dye and Thomas can handle it. Might be ugly at times fielding wise. And, my guess is that KW tries to pull off another Loiaza and sign some cheap pitcher (maybe Esteban himself) to fill the 5th spot. It's not perfect but it could work. If they could add Edgar Renteria as part of this I would be ecstatic.
December 9, 200421 yr GREAT SIGNING KENNY! I'm so enthusiastic about Jermaine. I really think he could have a great season with us! I'm happy with this signning also. I think it's solid move, not a great one, but solid. A few more moves like this and we should be in good shape heading into the season.
December 9, 200421 yr thomsonmi, I was going on SouthSide, prediction that we have 63mil signed which leaves 12 mil to play with 7 for OC 5 for SP And then Polcanco can sell the peanuts..Best use for him for the SOX

December 9, 200421 yr It's an OK signing. At least we don't have that gaping hole in RF. Until one of Dye Famous injuries..So we have 6 months till then, Maybe less.
December 9, 200421 yr Good signing. eliminated the possibility of playing Borchard. gives us time for Anderson or Sweeney to develop. keeps Carl Everett at DH (because I doubt Frank will be ready when the season begins).
December 9, 200421 yr Until one of Dye Famous injuries..So we have 6 months till then, Maybe less. That's really not a fair assessment. He had that horrid broken leg in the playoffs and has taken a couple of years to get over it. That was a freak accident. Not the type of thing that deserves an "injury prone" label on a guy.

Not the type of thing that deserves an "injury prone" label on a guy. Yeah the guy had what some considered may have been career threating in the ALCS when he fouled a ball of his tibula or fibula or one of those... how is it famous? thats just not fair to say about the guy If he stinks it up then go for it...tear him a new asshole... until then just shut up!
