briguy27 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It looks like they'll package this prospect along with the return from Boston for Dye and add Contreras to the Marlins for Cabrera. I think I heard Levine say this. Not sure ....I wasn't listening that closely. Please don't tell me now that you're being sarcastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It's obvious....for the guys they have no intention of bringing back next year, they're just getting their salaries off the books for the rest of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 QUOTE(Colorado Sox Fan @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 08:50 PM) Appears the Sox do, now. Surprised it took that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannerfan Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I think he's dumping salary for FA's next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSox05 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 its cool this is all to make room for Rowand, who may play center and right next year. At the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxchick1224 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 It is official that KW has lost his mind! He must love those single A players by GIVING AWAY our good players. Thanks KW for all you have done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCSox Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 12:50 PM) I have to say this looks a bit weak for a return on Mack. The Dye move or not making one I get, and the Gooch move I get. This one, though, seems like maybe KW got ripped off. +1 Especially considering that Mack (who we may need in LF next year) has a reasonably-priced option for next year. I don't like this move at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 02:50 PM) Seems like a Nick Masset type. yeah except that masset went 18 rounds before link in their respective drafts, masset had solid numbers as a starter at more advanced levels of the minors at the same age, and was actually considered a decent prospect for the rangers....so yeah exactly like masset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie5angels Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 31, 2007 -> 02:49 PM) Great, another piece of s*** possible future reliever. I revoke my previous statement. The word "screw" isn't harsh enough. You should actually f*** yourself, KW. I agree 100%. Mack was worth more than this. I'm not sure KW knows what he is doing anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I would start the Rick Hahn for GM club right now, but I will give Williams to benefit of the doubt and wait until a couple hours past the deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 I find it interesting that so far, none of the guys KW has acquired seem to have a chance in Hell of helping the big league team next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakes Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Why is everyone so angry? What did you expect to get for Rob? This deal won't make or break the Sox. They are getting rid of some salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no use for trading Mackowiak. Well, now come to think of it, the only benefit we have from trading Mack is freeing up that couple million he would cost us. Right now, it looks like we have a long 3-5 years ahead of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
