DH Everett/Thomas

RF Dye

3b Crede

C Davis/Burke

2b Harris

 

 

Tell me you all would not like this lineup and Rotation

 

With the money saved on trading pauly, Lee and Garland we should be able to sign hudson to a longterm deal, since Thomas and Everett would be off the books in 06.

 

 

sooooooo What do u think?

You know, I would jizzum my pants if this happened.

 

ONly thing is I'd rather get Renteria than Polanco.

I don't think even Krazy Kenny could pull this off.

I actually like it a little bit, but that's Xbox like.

if you follow the trade i think it can happen. in real life maybe but odds are really against anything comparable to this kind of trade happening. won't be on KW's or anyone else's mind cuz it's just to much to do. but it is perfect trading for x-box.

Uribe, B-Mac and 1 of Anderson or Sweeney is majorly overpaying for 1 year of Tim Hudson possibly. Willie Harris and B-Mac should beat LA's offer of Antonio Perez and Edwin Jackson straight up in my mind.

That is why we with the extra money and sign him from thoams, Lee, Pauly, everett and Garland.

Realistically if the Sox want Hudson, the money is there for him to sign a long term extension. With the contracts of Thomas and Konerko alone off the books at the end of next season, that's about a $13 million saving, which should be easily be enough to resign Huddy to a 4 year deal. But no way do we trade Uribe, he could be Miggy Tejada like in a couple of years. Willie Harris, now he's expendable with the addition of Podsednik.

I take it you don't think they will pick up franks option at the end of the year?

You know as much as I like Hudson there's no way I deal our shortstop and two of our top 3 prospects for one pitcher, even if it is Huddy.

I take it you don't think they will pick up franks option at the end of the year?

As Much as I love Frank.. WE can't invest the much money in him right now, unless he has a HUGE 2nd half. I say no.

There's something to be said for loyalty and him remaining the face of our frachise....

Frank better be here until he no longer wants to play...

Frank better be here until he no longer wants to play...

If he is willing to take a pay cut in 2006 sure.

I do agree. I love the guy, but money is an issue.

I take it you don't think they will pick up franks option at the end of the year?

No I don't, although I do believe one of Konerko or Thomas will be back in 2006, it just depends on which one comes at the right price. We all know Frank thinks he's undervalued, although he may not think that after he probably has a sub par 2005.

Doesn't Frank still have a player option? Would he not exercise that? I'm not familiar with his contract, famous as it is....

I believe he had a player option for $8 mill for this season which he picked up. I then think the team has a $9 mill option on him for 2006, or they can buy him out for $3 mill.

Oh I thought that there were player/team options for each year.

I believe he had a player option for $8 mill for this season which he picked up. I then think the team has a $9 mill option on him for 2006, or they can buy him out for $3 mill.

2003: $5.0M

2004: Dual option $6.0M player/$8.0M team

2005: Dual option $8.0M player/$11.0M team

2006: Dual option $10.0M player/$12.0M team or $3.5M buyout

-Player receives $1M loan and can void deal after 2003

-Can receive up to $2M in bonuses for top 10 MVP finish

That's what I thought. I want to see Frank retire in a Sox #35 jersey at US Cellular after a Sox WS win. Or maybe that's being a bit greedy......

So Frank can pick up his $10 mill option at the end of 2005?

So Frank can pick up his $10 mill option at the end of 2005? 

Yes

 

And he will too.

 

For him to be worth $10 mill, we'd have to hope he can put up .280 40 110 .950 type numbers in 06. His contract could become a large burden.

Damn ten million is alot for a guy that will probally be injured some how in 2006 and only play 90 games.

Wait could the sox save 6.5 mil and buy out frank?
