Thome was one of our best hitters last year, but I don't think I'd be too excited for him to return. I think I'm just ready to move on. Edited December 15, 200916 yr by chunk23

December 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 01:55 PM) Same guys who "broke" the adrian gonzalez trade right? I remain skeptical. What trade are you talking about? I read here that the Sox were talking to San Diego. Which probably happened. I don't remember anyone here saying a trade is occuring. Can you please post a link to this? I remain skeptical that you can.

December 15, 200916 yr the only way i ever see the sox getting agon is with alexei, hudson, flowers, morel being shipped out; but i don't even see why SD would trade him while he's so cheap the next two years. Edited December 15, 200916 yr by b-Rye

December 15, 200916 yr There was a 67 page thread about it. Kong to Angels, etc. If it had just said there were discussions with SD that would be one thing. But particulars were discussed as if an actual 3 way trade was being considered, which of course, no other outlet had heard or discussed. No need to be defensive, just sayin.

They're rebuilding. Dealing a cheap star like Gonzo is a great way to get a boatload of young talent.

And it said what some of those discussions entailed.

Hey, I am going to stand up for the guys who make this place happen. I hope you can handle that.
December 15, 200916 yr Fair enough. I apologize for being uppity. FWIW I hope they are right and its someone good.
December 15, 200916 yr I gotta say over the years being here there are certain people that you can trust as far as whitesox happenings and I trust my guys running soxnet cause they wont say something just to throw s*** and see what sticks. That just isnt their style and they operate with a lot more professionalism than that.
December 15, 200916 yr QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 15, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) I would get so frustrated with watching Vlad bat every game. Likewise. I'd want to impale him after each failed attempt of flailing at the pitch.
December 15, 200916 yr I'm hoping it's Dunn, but the Nats are probably going to demand Hudson and then some, with zero salary relief.
December 15, 200916 yr Adrian Gonzalez!!!! Please no Adam Dunn. Love the HRs, but I can't stand strikeouts. Is his K rate higher than Thome????
December 15, 200916 yr Dunn would fit in perfectly. High OBP, high power, Lefty DH that can be thrown out in the field if you have to.
