chisoxfan09 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) Quick question Mods in lieu of the crap Cowleotti wrote and the great effort you guys do in this forum. Is Kenny aware (I'm sure he is so just tell me I'm retarded) know of this forum's existance and does he know we genuinely appreciate (Most of us I think) his efforts as GM? He must think "Wow these guys are really tuned in to what we would want to do for our fan base". Sorry seems like a logical question.

chisoxfan09 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sorry why does "Cowleotti's" last name get parsed and turned into Cowleotti? A pun on words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 17, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) I'm on the record as some sort of steroids apologist? No. Flowers has been busted for steroids before, and that didn't make you not like him, but giving himself his own nickname did. I thought that was comical.

BigSqwert Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Any chance we can split off the 200 Cowleotti bashing posts into another thread so that we can use this one for updates on the trade rumor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Alright, let’s throw out some more potential packages. Let’s get in-depth. How realistic is this? Is this too much? Trade Konerko and cash for Wood Hudson, Viciedo, Retherford, Wood, Shelby, Ely for Adrian Gonzalez. Are Shelby and Ely merely superfluous here? Can our system compensate for the loss of 4 of our top 15 prospects (according to Baseball Prospectus)? Would we be more comfotable swapping Morel in for Retherford or would that devastate our 3b depth? Personally, I think we could stand to lose these guys if it means getting Gonzalez. I just don't know how likely it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good ol' days when Lance Broadway, Kyle McCullah, Ryan Sweeney and Charlie Haeger were like our 4 top prospects. Just saying people should think a little when they say "give the Padres whatever they want for AG. Even if it means our top 5 prospects." Be careful what you wish for.

Sox1422 Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Personally, I would be fine with a package including both Flowers and Hudson. Neither is a guarantee. A-Gon is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the reasons you trade for these players is to use them as trading pieces. Look at what we gave up for Peavy, basically nothing, but at the time people were up in arms.

MurcieOne Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 FWIW, I've known Jason and Mario since Soxnet.net's infancy and I can say with some substance that theytake this endeavor very seriously, and would never post something they "imagined" in their basement. They are both too talented and honest to fabricate a rumor and the only thing that separates either of them and Joe Cowleotti is a press pass. It is a shame that Cowleotti decided to attack Soxnet without really investigating the author of the story or the entitiy he created. If Cowleotti had taken the time to read this board or anything else that Jason has created he would have discovered that this is no "in my parents basement" type of operation. I genuinely believe there is some great baseball discussion on this board and some great baseball analysis via Soxnet and Futuresox. Anyone who vehemently disagrees probably doesn't visit the site.

But for a team with a limited payroll, a team that's proven they will not bid on elite free agents, a team that has as many holes as we do, good luck fielding a team that can consistently get to the postseason without being able to develop their own talent.
