June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) Wow :banghead Ross Gload+8-10 mil to spend in FA>>Konerko But what's the sense is using logic spend it on who, exactly? konerko's been killing us with his 30 homer, 100 RBI seasons for awhile now, and i want to get rid of him too.

A starting pitcher? Bullpen arms? Depth? A 3B? No matter how you slice it Gload+a good FA pick up or 2>>PK PK is too one dimensional.
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) I heard it was the D-Backs, it'll be interesting to look it back up and see who was right. Nanner, nanner Aussie linky
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) Nanner, nanner Aussie linky Never says whether it was texas or arizona... but it was definitely the rangers. Dye also called sweeney, still a good friend of his, asking to cut a deal with allard . Baird said dye was too old for their team and not fast enough. Edited June 30, 200520 yr by qwerty
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 03:23 PM) Sounds like an opinion to me.. hopefully a wrong one. Steff, You don't want the Sox to sign up Konerko? I hope they do sign him to another contract.

Yes, exactly. We don't need a 30-40 homer a year guy with 100+ RBI's, who is becoming the team leader. Let's all clamor to break up the Sox and go with a bunch of cheap free agents. I think we need to be careful of what we wish for because we just might get it and next year be wallowing in the basement of the AL Central.

We will have plenty of money to sepnd next season even after increased contracts. to upgrade the pen, get a replacement for konerko, (we could always do what dbaho suggested and move dye to first anderson to right). Trading contreras for something is always a possibility and then signing another starter... we have alot of options and are in good shape for next season.
June 30, 200520 yr this may sound crazy, but if by the end of July the Sox realize they can't resign Konerko for a reasonable price I wouldn't mind seeing them making a run for Lyle Overbay for bench duties for the rest of the year, then have him in place for the future. It would mean chucking Ross Gload for this year, but that would be a solid plan IMO

June 30, 200520 yr The way we've been drawing this year, we might be able to actually keep Konerko and stay active in FA. If we hit the playoffs and dont go out like b****es in round 1. There will some extra money and a lot of expectations to improve on the team.

If we hit the playoffs and dont go out like b****es in round 1. There will some extra money and a lot of expectations to improve on the team. I hate to say this, I truly do, because I want this team to be great for years to come... But aside from keeping guys like Garland and Pierzynski who are still arbitration-eligible, my absolute #1 thing that I want to see happen in the offseason is the re-signing of the Big Hurt. I do not want him to hit his 500th home run in anyone else's uniform. Call me sentimental wussy names if you'd like, but he's been the 1 player who's been here since I became a Sox fan, and I want him ending his career on the South Side.
June 30, 200520 yr My opinion: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. The Sox ain't broke, so don't fix 'em.

June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 07:46 PM) But he has always been a good 5th starter in the majors. Uuuum, are you sure about that?
June 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 30, 2005 -> 06:48 PM) Uuuum, are you sure about that? Yes he is very very sure. Career ERA+ of 101 is just a hair over medicore and medicore=good for 5th starter.
June 30, 200520 yr Uuuum, are you sure about that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Before this season, Garland was already a proven good 5th starter in the majors. All Daigle has proven is that he can hit Single A pitching at the age of 25. That's not really impressive.
