So the Sox should trade AJ, trade Konerko, trade Buerhle and just get back a bunch of prospects. Apparently there are people on this board more interested in minor league baseball than major league baseball. What did Minnesota get back for Santana? Is that what everyone wants? I prefer trying to win than having some decent minor leaguers who will bust in a couple of years. The AL Central blows. The Sox should win it every year for a while.

The teams in this division that blow certainly play us tough the past couple seasons. We need to start consistently winning series against Central teams before I'd say we're ready to dominate the division just because we have the best starting rotation.

I'd trade Paulie if we could put his $12M to better use while still filling 1B, same with Jenks. That'll be about $19M+ for those two players, so I'd definitely be in favor of an '04-'05 offseason-type makeover where we let Maggs go and traded CLee to spread the money around to other areas. Trading Buerhle and AJ is stupid though. Our starting rotation is our greatest strength and AJ is the one we've got handling it. And it would be naive to expect Flowers to just be able to handle a Major League staff as a rookie after playing his first full season as a catcher just this year, much less hit MLB pitching. Talk about setting a kid (as well as an entire organization) up for failure...

THE.Carlos.Gomez.

Carlos Gomez is a hell of a player.
