QUOTE (b-Rye @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) i think fox has potential for 40+ HR and 100+ RBI at DH... I'd trade for him in a heartbeat. He's also cheap for a few more years I think... imagine a healthy raking CQ/Jake Fox batting 3/4; I think it has potential. I think you're a little overboard but I like the idea as well. I dunno about the 3/4 thing but if the trade doesn't cost an assload and it means we can spend some actual money on an outfielder or bullpen help by adding Fox as a low-cost DH, where do I sign?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 2, 2009 -> 01:06 PM) John Danks, Hudson, Flowers, Morel for Gonzalez? I'd do it. Only if that came with a nice long extension for Gonzalez. I don't think all that is worth it if we were just letting him walk after 2011.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 11:33 PM) The question is can we replace him in the 8th?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 1, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) How happy is everyone with the 1st month of the off-season? I personally feel that October was a real good month for the Sox. They strengthened the bench, added roster flexibility (Teahan) and have positioned themselves to spend the next couple months trying to fill 2 to 3 key holes (OF/DH/Pen). November. And yeah, I'm happy with it too. I think Andruw and Omar are going to help this team.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 25, 2009 -> 08:21 PM) i'm suprised he blows that much now - i guess i don't know how bad he's been of late anyone got a quick run down? Between Washington and Arizona last season, 0-6 with 6.00 ERA, 1.98 WHIP, 7.4BB/9... just ugly.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 25, 2009 -> 08:11 PM) 1 with a couple of duds on there that should probably be dropped.

We shoulda just signed Carl Everett instead No, really for what Jerry's paying, good move.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 25, 2009 -> 11:08 AM) I can't believe that Andre Dawson isn't in yet. That is just wrong. Every year when the vote comes up I always get pissed off and disappointed because of Dawson.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) .300 average 30 hr 100 rbi 5 straight seasons : Babe Ruth Jimmie Foxx Ted Williams Frank Thomas Albert Pujols says hi... I think you're leaving out the 100 BBs too

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Maddux, Biggio and Thomas would be a great class although I think Clemens is in there as well.....or is Clemens with Bonds??? Also Biggio and Thomas may not be first ballot. Clemens is absolutely with Bonds. If he were to get in, the writers will let him sit on his ass for a good 5-6 years prior to voting him in.

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 24, 2009 -> 02:20 PM) And I think they can and will do better. Nothing wrong with keeping Crisp as an option if everything else falls through. Better than last offseason where they had Jerry Owens failing again and Dewayne Wise leading off on opening day. Yeah, I'd say it's miles ahead of the Owens/Wise crap factory.

He's the best hitter in the history of a franchise that has been around for over 100 years. If that doesn't warrant a HOF nod, I dunno what does.

Who the hell voted no!? This stuff's made in New York City!

http://www.sporcle.com/games/DaCollins33/team_lofton Name the teams Kenny Lofton has played for. I got 9 out of 11.

Unless your offensive numbers were out of this world I don't see how a guy who played over 1500 games as a DH gets in.

I'm shocked that some jagbag New York writer didn't give Jeter a vote.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) http://www.sporcle.com/games/baseballmemorables.php New Quiz! Got 18, couldn't remember Vander Meer and I dunno how the hell I forgot Bill Mazeroski.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 12:02 PM) They should always be looking in all areas, regardless of what they've already got. Unless, well, they have Pujols or something. Really no upgrade over that guy. I'm not even going to read this, I noticed the word Pujols and I noticed Mr. Rongey mentioning it so... THE SOX ARE GETTING PUJOLS!

Got 31... kind of embarrassed that I didn't get Baines or Killebrew. I did however manage to close out the outfield list.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Nov 20, 2009 -> 11:39 AM) It's logical statistically. Still a bit odd though. How is Carpenter NOT #2? Hell, if I had a vote, he'd have been #1. I don't quite understand. Javy had an awesome year, no doubt and it's nice that he got some credit for it but Wainwright and Carpenter both had better years in my opinion.

White Sockses

Keith Law had Javier Vazquez #2 on his Cy Young ballot.

QUOTE (Ranger @ Nov 19, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) I'm sure I'll get into with some of you, sometimes some of you will hate me, somtimes I'll hate some of you, but there will be plenty of love to go around. I hope this team plays well so I don't have to be crabby. I think we should start calling Rongey "Ike Turner"

Saw some asswipe hit a 70 year old lady in the face with a flying (full) 20 oz. Pepsi bottle. I would file that one under "wildest".

Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweeted that the Yankees are shopping Swisher. What a shocker. http://twitter.com/BNightengale/status/5863286864
