Why are NONE of these posts in green???? :banghead  :banghead  :banghead

when something so chalked full of irony/scarsam is posted... i think no color is needed to know its conotation... i mean, some of us are stupid, but were no forrest gumps.... seats taken!

HI8 I also think Borchard for Rollins and Wolf is a fair deal maybe we can give them adkins as well

And it was not sarcastic that Borchard for Rollins would be a big win for the Sox.

 

I mean if the Phillies wanted to do that deal, who here would deny them? I think most Sox fans pretty much want to get any value they can for Borchard at this point.

I still cant tell if you guys are joking or not.

Matt Im serious dont you think Borchard for Rollins and Wolf maybe the phillies will thrown in Thome as well if we gave them adkins or willie harris

Put that in green!!!

Yeah god damn it. Rollins was always one of my favorite national league players and I about creamed myself after seeing that title after a hard days work.

 

 

If you get that steamed up about a rumor then what happens to you when a deal actually goes down?!

 

No...he did think the deal was done.

lets s*** on a stick and give that to them for rollins.

:headshake

how old are you?

 

Would you trade Paul Konerko, Freddy Garcia, and Juan Uribe for Julio Lugo and Dannys Baez?

I say that we trade raff and a poster to be named later for Rollins.

i sure would! so would he, im sure of it.

Santo- Its a joke dont take everything to serious in life...actually I would like to have Lugo on the Sox if they dont get rollins

This is just a pipe dream but it is fun to talk about.

IMO there is no reason to trade Borchard. He's worth nothing and there's always the possibility he'll wake up. It would be stupid to trade him while he's value is in the toliet.

I wouldn't mind seeing him, I wouldn't expect anything to happen though.

I don't think you understood my post. The thread title made me think it had gone through already, because the original name of the thread was "Jimmy Rollins to the Sox". It has since been changed.

I doubt Rollins would go for cheap. However, maybe the Phils feel Polanco can play ss for them and they can then move Rollins and get something of value.

 

I have no idea of their needs, but I bet they'd be interested in Cotts or Marte. I don't know if I'd deal Marte or not though, because I like the pen being a strenght. However even if Marte is dealt I still think the pen is better this year than last year.

 

But I'd say Cotts could be a possibility and you'd figure maybe Willie Harris. Minor leaguers would probably exclude Bmac, Anderson, and Sweeney however you could see Tracey as a guy. The question is would the Phils want major league players or minor league guys.

 

If its a payroll dump maybe its more minor league guys.

Alright thats cool... Just make sure you write it in green next time. I know you just joined today. You could have been some 9 year old who was serious about these trades.

Jas, it's mainly a salary dump -- They have to move either Polanco or Rollins. Rollins may have more upside, Polanco is probably the safer bet to put up solid numbers, but Polanco caries a heftier price tag $$$. Rolins would probably take more to get, in terms of players.

Looks like Rollins has had steady improvement three years in a row.

i would be ridiculously happy if this were to happen... tho i doubt it. If so this has been the best KW sox offseason by far

IF we got Rollins, I'd prefer Uribe at 3B, Rollins at SS, and Willie at 2B over Willie sitting on the bench.

thats intresting... if it plays out that way, it would be ok with me... however, i think if crede has competition and has to "win" a starting job... he will, i think hes gonna have a simi-breakout year.

Does someone have a track record on how often these Phillie related rumors

turn out to be something?

 

Who are the Phillies happy with? All we ever hear is how they aren't happy with productive players. Why? Is it money?

You could say the same about Harris. Either way, we could sign a 3B, SS, or 2B, becasue of Uribe's versatility. I'd just prefer Harris starting, because he's shown more promise. If there needs to be a ST battle to figure out who starts, so be it. Competition can only be good for us.
