August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) So the White Sox are going to add a guy who has hair that violates team rules from what I read. And they are going to have a guy on the team who used roids on a day we are honoring Big Hurt. Mockery. I am sure the 23,000 fans that went out there on as a beautiful night as there could be last night to watch a team in the pennant race will agree with you. Manny Ramirez can do things nobody since Frank Thomas and to some degree not even he could do sorry he did PED's so did other teams. Tehy got Canseco and there was no question there. Teh holier than thou approach is fine but it will not win.....I wonder how many yankee fans want A-Rod gone. They are not honoring Thomas because he was clean they are honoring him because he hit the s*** of a baseball just like Manny.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) If it is a top 5 prospect of ours (regardless how weak our system is) it would be a horrendous trade. I'd give them no more than Gartrell if it really came to that. Luckily, no one on the 40 man can be dealt. Hell I'd pay them to get Kyle McCulloch out of this system. I'm tired of seeing his name still with us during the old drafting regime personally. They've had plenty of chances to dump McCulloch.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 12:09 PM) Maybe something different. Well, let's see 23 - 25 are taken...he could go 22...maybe 26 (unless some people on the 40 man have those and I dont know)
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:10 PM) It's not just being shocked...it's flat out impossible. They'd have to clear waivers themselves. So would Flowers. My money's still on Gilmore.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:13 PM) Well, let's see 23 - 25 are taken...he could go 22...maybe 26 (unless some people on the 40 man have those and I dont know) 22 was his high school number if I'm correct.
August 27, 201015 yr he wants 3 and Baines has agreed to unretire it for the second time...his portrait and statue will remain
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:15 PM) Maybe he should wear the infinity symbol. 8?

August 27, 201015 yr Balta, I never said I didn't think he took steroids, in fact that's why I said I'm not stupid, with that said..... I was saying he never failed a test ecause of steroids. Obviously he juiced hence the fertility drug, but was pointing out not because of roids.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Rotating Designated Hitter March 2010 - August 2010 R.I.P.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Rotated 90 degrees. Albert Belle worn it and he does lay down a-lot.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Rotating Designated Hitter March 2010 - August 2010 R.I.P. Excellent
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:16 PM) Rotating Designated Hitter March 2010 - August 2010 R.I.P. That's what you think. The rumors of its demise are greatly exaggerated.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:17 PM) That's what you think. The rumors of its demise are greatly exaggerated. lol, if they end up getting him I would not be shocked if Kotsay is in there against some RHers, would hate it, but not be shocked
August 27, 201015 yr Still think our DH will be Kotsay/ManRam. No way Kotsay doesn't see at least 8 ABs a week.

I was saying he never failed a test ecause of steroids. Obviously he juiced hence the fertility drug, but was pointing out not because of roids. Yes, he was taking steroids when he tested positive for the fertility drug. He also tested positive for steroids in the 2003 round, reportedly. There's simply no way of saying "he never tested positive" that isn't going to draw a condemnation from me, because it's wrong.

They are not honoring Thomas because he was clean they are honoring him because he hit the s*** of a baseball just like Manny. I'd like to think they are honoring Thomas for his performance and his class. He is praised throughout baseball and rightly so, for accomplishing his feats, without steroids. If Manny is here the same night Frank is honored ... that will be hilarious. Why are the Dodgers so eager to get rid of Manny? I thought less than a year ago he was king of LA? I hoipe this is just for a month and the bum is gone after that.

August 27, 201015 yr I'll re-state what I posted earlier before the thread got moved and the index got screwed up... My prediction: Sox send a so-so prospect, not a team top 10, to LAD, and take on most but not all of Manny's remaining salary.
August 27, 201015 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) So would Flowers. My money's still on Gilmore. Boy that would really justify the Vazquez trade wouldn't it? I'm gonna say It'll be a pitcher (maybe both) but who is young enough for the Dodgers to like. Someone like Nate Jones () or if it's both, a Kyle Colligan type. I hope the spects will be even worse (potential wise) than worse guys, but this is KW. Edited August 27, 201015 yr by J.Reedfan8
