Kenny supposed to address the Swish trade at 11 on the score, I guess because of a lot of fans feelings on how much we gave up for him.

More than likely he simply wants to put a positive spin on it and it will be interesting to hear.

Well Jumpin Joe Cowley is on greasing the wheels.

 

Joe just stated he thinks that Crede will be the starter and Fields will be in the minors. How f***ed up is that. 23 homers, over 60 RBIs projecting to well over 30 and he will go down. Laughable.

 

 

 

I honestly don't believe that will end up happening.

 

Nonetheless, especially since bureau has come on this site and taught me a lot, I find it funny that fans can be so up in arms about prospects when they are dealt. If bureau taught me anything, it's that I know absolutely nothing about prospects. I would like to steal his computer.

Ya, that better not happen.

honestly none of us have any idea what's going to happen, yesterday proved that. I'm all goin nuts thinking we are awful, now we have an OF i love for 5 years and I'm happy. So crede could be gone in 10 min. for all we know, or fields could be going for a pitcher, who knows.

Crede is gonna go for a reliever or specs. Fields showed--as a raw player--all-star capabilities. I am not sure that Crede hits for a higher average than Fields, or hits more homeruns. Fields certainly will strikeout more, but also walk more. His D is not good, but its serviceable. And more importanly, Crede is coming off back surgery and not faced game pitching in a year, he is not a better option than Fields. What more does Josh have to do?

Josh Fields in the minor leagues would be a travesty for this organization. He's one of the bright spots to look forward to in 2008 and proved last year he's ready for the Majors. That can't and won't happen.

drive crede to the airport to a team willing to take on his position/salary.

Well, what did Kenny say?

IF Fields is in the minors to start the season, it would only be until Crede increases his trade value. I don't see it happening, but they have to say it is possible to try to convince other teams that they do not have to trade Crede for their garbage.

Well, what did Kenny say?

 

apparently they didn't air it. either i missed it (doubtful), or it's being postponed for another time slot

Fields is the 3B in 2008, barring some bizarre series of other trades that isn't likely to happen. He is saying that because Crede needs to be traded.

 

Is this team set on having Quentin be a starting outfielder? Right now I'm kinda bored so I'm looking at scenarios of what could happen for a starting lineup, but extremely unlikely.

 

SS Cabrera

CF Swisher

DH Thome

1B Konerko

RF Dye

3B Crede

LF Fields

C Pierzynski

2B Richar

 

I don't really think that is the best option, there isn't enough speed in the lineup and to me it's starting to look like the lineups we had from 2000-2004. Just throwing it out there though.

KW Is gonna be on the score at 1pm

Kenny to speak on the Swisher trade at 1pm, per George Hoffman just now.

Did he postpone his speaking engagement because he is working on something else?

To state the Obvious, There's gotta be another trade going down. Too many of One Position. Actually i would like Swisher to play first. Trade Kong for a leadoff hitter CenterFielder/LeftFielder, Bullpen help. Crede gone as well. I don't think Alexei Ramirez will be with the Big Club this year. Richar will get the first crack at second.

 

Crede and Uribe are trade Bait

 

Ohh and please Don't let Cabrera lead off, He's a good second place hitter, doesn't walk enough to leadoff.

Juan Uribe and Crede for Santana? Santana signs 10 years for league minimun after persuasion from KW.

Does Quentin have an options left? I know Fields does? But I cant see not playing Quentin regularly if he was on the big club, what would be the point of that.

I wouldnt anoint someone's OPINION god-like when they are one out of hundreds of people who share the same job, and .00001 percent of them post on a message board. Just a thought.

Then again, considering he is a professional scout, he probably knows a lot more than your average message board poster.

Probably, but that doesnt say much.

I've been impressed by Bureau's contributions to the site. I'm not saying he's the real deal, but I'm taking in what he has to say with an open mind and not trying to prove I'm more knowledgeable than him. And Rock, I'm not saying you are doing this ... but some sure seem to be.

 

In fact, I'm concerned that Bureau might just say "f*** it! These guys know it all already. I'm outta here" due to the tone some have had toward him.

WTF? Where is KW? This is why I hate the score, it seems they always give incorrect times for interviews to boost ratings for their s*** shows.
