Sox @ Rangers -- 5/29/05

[Jabroni]

Garland derserves better.

[Tadahito15]

On a positive note, Garland looks good and the Twins have 3 outs to score 3 runs and to break their 2 hitter.

I know it seems unrealistic...  But I bet Williams is looking to Colorado at Helton.  And yes, I know the contract structure.  Kenny isn't a stupid man, he's definitely looking to upgrade 1B and 3B, especially if the duo there continue to be absolutely dismal offensively.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Keith, he is always looking to upgrade, that's one thing I like about him, he works his ass off.

 

He makes mistakes, all GM's do, and some of his have been bad ones. But he lives and dies with this stuff way worse than we do, and I like that too. He bleeds White Sox.

[CWSGuy406]

Helton's not a reasonable option.  He's also having a terrible year (for him), and it's likely teams with bigger pockets will go after him.

 

If Kenny thinks that a bat like Helton can put us over the top, he's going to go for him, regardless of his contract.

On the bad news we cant hit a crap pitcher.

Pierz with an upper tank shot 1-1.

Says who? It's one thing to make a deal for someone who has a big contract for the rest of the season. It's another thing to make a deal for someone who's still owed tens of millions of dollars. With that in mind, we're better off keeping PK for the rest of the year instead of being stuck with Helton's huge contract.

:uhoh

[Guest JimH]

Can somebody keep us updated on the Twins-Blue Jays game, any volunteers, ok Jabroni you're elected

[Tadahito15]

That's a thing I absolutely love about Kenny. He sees a problem, goes out there and constantly works trying to get a deal done to fix it. You have to love how hard he works to get a quality team on the field.

[CWSGuy406]

AJ!!!!!

 

And fathom, don't tell me that Kenny can't or won't do something (for better or for worse). We would have had one of Carlos Delgado or Larry Walker had either wanted to come here. Helton, Coors Field or not, is one of the best hitters in all of baseball. Obviously, money would have to come to us, but I'm almost 100% he's looking at Helton.

 

You say "stuck" like it's a bad thing. Helton isn't a guy who puts up good numbers just 'cause he's at Coors. He is an elite hitter, probably top ten.

Nothing would surprise me, not with Williams.

[NUKE_CLEVELAND]

Park made a mistake there and AJ made him pay.

 

1-1 GAME

What were you trying to say again?

[CWSGuy406]

Wow, Jermaine.

 

Best AB of the year for him, bar none.

Well, Delgado was a FA after the season, so there was no worry about his contract. As for Walker....the Rockies were willing to pick up a huge portion of his salary in a trade. The Rockies have already said they won't pick up any of Helton's contract if he's traded.

Agreed. He always looks great in Texas.

I was in the other room and all of a sudden I hear, "UH OH!" And than run to see the ball land in the upper deck.

Sorry about that. I editied it above....

I didn't hear that.

 

I believe you, but do you got an article link to where they said it? Because, I'm not suggesting the Sox pick up the whole contract. They've picked up a big portion of the salary before, with Walker and Hampton, no reason to think they won't do it again -- IMO.

[Tadahito15]

4-0 Jays in the bottom of the 8th, runner on first with 1 out

Yes, some call her skanky, but I'd hit it.
