QUOTE(knightni @ Dec 15, 2006 -> 02:52 AM) Wood blows out his elbow playing Tennis on the Wii. Then whacks Prior in the face on the backswing, breaking his nose. That would be fantastic... we could start calling Prior "Marcia Brady". "OH! My nose!"

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 08:56 AM) Garland for 50 copies of the movie "Angels in the Outfield". Now thats a deal. That sounds good... but it needs Tony Danza and Danny Glover's handcock on it.

The Royals had two contracts sitting on the table, one for Meche and one for Zito... when they opened the checkbook, they were blinded by dust and accidentally signed Meche's deal.

Break an attendance record.... rebuild!?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we're getting Vernon Wells...

This has gotta lead up to something else, whether it's a free agent signing or another deal... I'm thinking this has to be a financial/payroll thing. It just makes no sense at all.

Haven't read the Trib today but apparently (got this info on ESPN Insider) it states that the Cubs have offered Lilly 40 million over four.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Garcia+Anderson for Rowand and Rollins That would be friggin' insane if you ask me.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Dec 4, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) Is this guy set to be a minor leaguer for us? He's only 20 so I would assume that he'd start on the farm.

Take it for what it's worth but a buddy of mine that lives in LA just emailed me and said that one of the sports radio shows mentioned a possible swap between the Sox and Yankees with us getting ARod and Melky while the Evil Empire receives Joe Crede and either Garcia, Garland or McCarthy. Again, take that with a grain of salt.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 08:16 PM) Is this actually a question? Do I want AAAA slugger or a GG defensive CF with a solid bat in his rookie year? Tough question... We don't have either so I fail to see your point.

If he'd sign a 2 year deal worth around 8-10 million, go for it... If he costs 18-20 million over 2, forget that s***. A 34 year old second baseman converting to the outfield isn't worth nearly that much bread imo. Northside, with the exception of one game (one inning) in CF, he's never played the OF.

Doesn't look like this one will happen, Dave Roberts is apparently about to sign with the Giants, thus making their quest for Sco-Po pointless. And am I nuts or does Geoff Jenkins sound alright? Of course we'd still need to find a center fielder that can lead off, but Jenkins doesn't sound like the end of the world, if the Brewers don't want an arm and a leg.

What would be more laughable, this deal or the Cubbies throwing 40 million at Vincente Padilla, which I just read (ESPN Insider) is entirely possible.

This all but clinches Carlos Lee getting 80-90 million.

ESPN Insider has a blurp up in the rumors section about Vazquez to the Rangers... mentions reliever Nick Masset as the possible return.

Only way I'd want Andruw here is if he comes with a 3-4 year extension. Giving up the level of talent we'd have to is certainly not worth a one year rental.

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Nov 17, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) Okay if these recent rumors hold ground..we could have a lineup such as this... Figgins, Crawford, Dye, Thome, Konerko, Jones, Gooch, Crede, Uribe Is Figgins, Crawford, Dye or Jones going to play catcher?

The News Tribune is reporting the Cubs are in heavy after Drew as well... Linky

mlbtraderumors.com is reporting that the Red Sox have offered something in the neighborhood of $48 million over 4 years for Mr. Drew. Could this be a sign that they've got something cooking for Manny?

INTIMIDATION!!!

What about one that has played 140 games only twice in his nine year career? Whoever gives this guy anything higher then the Dodgers were already paying him is a damn moron.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 24, 2006 -> 07:37 AM) He'll eventually just hire one of these math majors out of an Ivy league school to do it. Put a big ass set of computers in the dugout and all that. "It's telling me to warm up Duchscherer"

What an ass

Just a guess but I assume they have no clue who anyone is if they either aren't or never were Cubs. Girardi was a Cub, "I remember him, let's bring him in!"
