Konerko is a good, not great, but good hitting first baseman. If anything he's the most replaceable.

Dont be surprised if Josh Paul gets a backup role and Olivio is in AAA.

Molto is about as close as you can get... I think Almonte will get the 25th spot.

Getting a guy like Cruz would make KW look a little better, but i just dont see him even offering Cruz a deal.

I think the Braves are shopping Millwood.

Or we can hope Ritchie truns into that #2 starter and stop b****ing.

No, at least not this season. There gonna spend the whole season at AAA, maybe a late callup.

There gonna hit a s*** load of HR's thats for sure.

If we get someone to get on base in the 1-2 slots we could have the best offense in baseball.

I hope he can get back on track and pitch like he did in his first 5 starts last season.

I get this feeling that Rauch will start the season in AAA, and Rocky will take the 5th spot. I really like Rocky, that fastball when its on is one of the best in baseball.

Maybe Almonte, but thats about it. I guess Hummel might make a back up role, if Tony G isn't ready.

If the Sox's young pitchers can step up, we can be a REALLY good team, all we need is Garland, Rauch, or even Rocky to step up and pitch like they did in the minors.

If he ever gets his cutter back he'll be one tough son of a b****.

yeah, Glover is a damn good pitcher out of the pen.

If Ritchie can pitch like he did with the Pirates and Rauch can step up, AH f*** WERE SCREWED

I'd love to get Ryan Dempster, but i think the Reds would want more then Willie Harris. Also another guy the Soxs should look into is Brad Penny. He has some problems last season, but he looks like a good pitcher. Maybe the Sox's could get him kinda cheap.

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

Exactly, everything can't be KW's fault, so just shut the f*** up and support the team we have now.

They didn't want Lee and his 4.5 mil, they wanted to cut salary not just trade money.

They can offer him a contract, if he says no, they can just cut him lose and not offer arbitration. Or i'm i missing something?

First off, if KW really had a deal on monday for just prospects, he would have done it, its obvious the Giants were looking to dump salary and the Sox's were not a good option.

If Ritchie takes a 1 year 1 million base salary + incentives, i say give him another chance, he CAN'T be worse then last season.

This isn't KW's fault, the Braves made a better offer, plain and simple.

Red Sox's cant agree with the Expos, Yankees will only deal if the Red Sox's really have a chance, all those Reds rumors are bulls***, so that leaves the Sox's with the Best offer on the table. (Assuming that KW offered them the Lee/Garland + Prospects deal) Oh yeah f***!!!
