NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 If KW is going to get this slob at least lets get rid of the Big Skirt in the process. Is that workable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubKilla Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Probably not. I don't think any NL team is going to want to deal for Thomas based on the simple fact that he will have to play the IF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Plus, The Expos are looking to dump salary, not pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 well, if the Sox were jagoffs they can give Thomas 350,000 and then deal him for Colon. perhaps the Expos would take it then. of course, would we really want to give up Thomas at 350,000? no high priced guys will be given up for Colon. anyone making more than 3 mil will stay put.

Yeah, but there's still all that guaranteed money that Thomas has to get still. I dont think the 'Spos have 40 mil laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurcieOne Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 I think Thomas comes back and has a good year...... but thats not the problem...... pitching is! Get Colon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike South24 Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 O man. Thomas for Colon? I'd take that in a heartbeat! Too bad that's not even going to be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody you know Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 Thomas filed for free agency,the Sox don't have his rights to trade him until after Dec. 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 They landed the best minor league shorstop in the entire minors as well as some premiere pitching prospects if I recall correctly. Brandon Phillips is a power hitting shortstop that is supposed to be the real deal with power to hit 30 plus homers. Ian, am I right on them acquiring some front line pitchers? I thought they landed at least one real good pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 In eqivalent terms it would of been like the Sox trading Borchard, Rauch, and Harris or Jimenez or Hummell. Something along those lines, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 prospects and minor players.. you know what its going to cost us to land him here now.. we could have afforded those a while ago... now it will cost us regular everyday players.... and probably a few minors to boot...........

Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 exactly .. nothing proven yet.... and now we would have to give up at least two proven players not to mention part of what we have left in the farm... its just not worth it........besides you all know how well we do with vet pitchers... remember d. wells and ritchie???? im afraid colon would be much of the same here........we dont need it.........

Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Michelle, the Sox can't be afraid to make moves simply because past ones haven't panned out for whatever reasons. If we do that then the Sox will always live in mediocrity, something I am very sick of. I say make the deal, as long as we don't have to give up any of our core players and that we will still be able to have all the position players we need, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hotsoxchick1 Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 well jason just who in the hell are you going to give up ????? theres no one left........lol... we cant make this deal cause it will cost us a ton... positioinal players as well as their counter part backups down on the farm... it aint worth it for one season.... you know damn right well they wont sign colon to any longer deal than one year.....maybe two if hes lucky.... hell with it.... we wont be a contending team untill that way of thinking stops... we need players and we need them for longer than one or two years to develope into our program and get us to a contending place once again..... we live in mediocracy under jr and kenny and will untill someone gets in there and isnt afraid to sign key guys to long term deals and spend a bit of cash in the mean time.... face facts and stop fooling yourself............

Chisoxfn Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 Well we could easily give up Carlos Lee or even Aaron Rowand cause we have Joe Borchard waiting in the wings. We could also package Jose Valentin, but I don't think they want him. We also have a plethora of pitching prospects that we can offer.

We also have a plethora of pitching prospects that we can offer. ok so lee or rowand.. it will probably cost us both though.....and if we give them up then what do we do in the outfield with noone to back up borchard or even leifer if we use him out there as well......we dont have anyone ready enough down below to take over everyday.....if we give up valentin then we are in the same situation.. we have to rely on jimenez each day??? and no one once again in the minors ready to take over every day..... we cant afford to give up any pitching either... as you can see from our bull pen situation we dont even have a capable starter outside of mark buehrle.......were f***ed either way you look at it...we cant spare any parts cause we just dont have them......

MurcieOne Posted November 13, 2002 Share Posted November 13, 2002 I want the chubby latino b****! Get him here!!!! Give up Rauch/Honel/Ring Whoever we need pitching now! We've been hoping these young guns pan out for 5 or 6 years now! Garland/Welles/Fogg are the only ones who seemingly have panned out...... 2 for another team.
