I haven't read everything today, so maybe this was brought up.

 

Any deal involving Colon would require that team taking on Tatis. Who makes 7 million a year, I think that puts the Sox out of the running real quick.

From what I have been hearing, that tatis was apart of the deal also. Which in fact would probably knock us out of the race unless we take somebody else in his place like colon and vidro? ya right not in our lifetime.

Not exactly, if a team puts up a good enough offer, Expos said they'll be willing to give up Vidro instead.

If they can get some team to take Tatis, they will have taken 14 or so million off, and they can keep Vidro.

disregaurding salary concerns...unless we were able to move tatis down the line to somebody for some pitching prospects then it wouldnt be wise..can you imagine another infielder for jerry the tinkerer to "tinker "with???

Noboday wants Tatis, so he'd be here.

 

I don't even want to think of him playing over Crede.

No-way in hell I want Tatis on this team.

 

I'd rather roll the dice that either Malone, Diaz, or Stewart become somewhat as good as Colon.

But if all 29 teams turn down a deal for Tatis...then the Expos are stuck with him. Which in turn means that Vidro could be dealt instead.

 

I'm still thinking a Garland, Liefer, Paul, Harris, another minor leaguer and cash for Colon, Vidro and Barret works out real well for us...we take care of their $15 million debt and we get 3 real good players in return...if we could lock Colon up, and then eventually Vidro, that would be very, very good.

OK, we give them Lee, Garland, Harris, Liefer and Malone for Colon, Vidro and Tatis but they keep Barrett and take 5 million of Tatis' 7 million salary. Wed use Tatis as a utility guy or possibly a leftfielder. We could transform Tatis to an outfielder, he has the speed and mobility...

hey witesoxfan,

that sound perfect in my world, I hope it can work out that way, it is a long shot thou.

Your forgot Wright, Roman.

 

Sox are cheap as hell. One starter only.

Helling would come cheap. And I dunno, it just seems as tho weve all given up on Wright so I followed the path which I thought everyone else would take.

read my lips... foreget trying to figure out how to move colon here... it aint going to happen.................

The team hasn't though...just because he had a rough first year doesn't mean the organization has given up on him...we as fans would rather give up Wright than Garland, and you can tell why...age, talent, etc...the only thing Wright has on Garland is stamina, and that is a little factor when it comes to age and talent.

I try not to think about my colon that much. I just eat lots of fiber and hope that everything is ok.
