QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) If this is true were stupid :banghead That's because he didn't know if he wanted to play baseball or hockey I think it was. So we drafted him and he didn't want to sign and he didn't play a year at all because he didn't know what he wanted to decide yet until the following year when he put his name back in the draft. It's not like the White Sox dropped the ball on him, he simply didn't have a clear cut decision of what he wanted to do when we drafted him.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) I personally wouldn't and I know I'm going to get torn to shreads for that but I guess I just like the way this offense is built and I know their stats aren't good but they've come up with every big hit possible. The thing that says it for me is that the Twins have a better team era and there are a ton of people who absolutely love their offense yet the sox are 5 games up on them. Anyways, it's just a difference of opinion I could see how you would like this year's offense over last year. Perfect scenario would be a combo of the two. Well actually, I would probably keep Pods, Iguchi, AJ and maybe Dye.

Wasn't this for 2000, or 2001?(Gagne for Howry)

Lock him up to a 15 year deal dangit.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 03:57 PM) Haha, Willie Harris in right field now that would be something to see. Anyways while good on paper that offense would have done the same crap our offense in years past did imo. I don't know. I-Rod and Nomar are pretty good balanced hitters as in they hit both for average and power. Same with Frank(at least OBP wise) and Rowand. PK would've had his PK year. I truly don't know, but I would've watched, that's for sure.

Wow, that's really, just different. So if I have all this right, assuming the Sox would've opened up their pocketbooks enough this could've been our team at some point last year?: C-Ivan Rodriguez 1B-Paul Konerko 2B-Juan Uribe 3B-Joe Crede SS-Nomar Garciaparra RF-Willie Harris?? CF-Aaron Rowand LF-Carlos Lee DH-Frank Thomas That's better than St. Louis lineup from last year IMO. 5-man rotation: Buehrle Garcia Loaiza(I don't know of we still would've traded for Contreras) Garland 5th starter That would be an interesting team. Anyway, before I forget. I always seem to ask, but nobody answers so I'll ask again. I hear that Willie isn't liked in the clubhouse very much for something he did last year. Anyone know what he did??

It was Garland and Chris Singleton for Darin Erstad. I don't know what Yes or No is supposed to mean. Do you mean, you're glad it didn't happen, you wanted it to happen? If that's the case, I'm glad it didn't happen. Crede, BMac and prospects for Eric Chavez

He probably didn't think Detroit was going to come out of the blue and sign him. I certainly didn't. That's weird though. I-Rod seems like a guy KW would sign in a heartbeat if he did that. He would've been perfect for Olivo's development. I digress though. I'm just saying, it would've been awesome.

QUOTE(Steff @ Jun 16, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) I'm so not going to get into this.. mainly because no one will believe me.. but Mikster from WSI was there in Detroit as the story of how Pudge could have been on the Sox.. and it was not a $ issue. The same with Urbina.. Thanks for telling what you can. Wow. Anyone, I also believe that KW runs things, but will ask Ozzie on things of comparison. Like KW would ask him, we're looking at two guys right now, who would you rather have? and then go from there.

Can't you just read the address bar at the bottom and add something to the effect of "=500" to get 500 votes for one person. I found that out at some hacker website I visited alot senior year of high school.

Whoa Whoa Whoa Steff, Pudge was considering us, but KW didn't want to sign him??

HAHA, f*** YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!!!

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Jun 15, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) i just saw his interview on csn before the game, he kind of reminds me of DMX Arff!!!! Arff!!!! Get at Me Dawg!!!!!! Arf!!!!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I object. DBah0 is the 99% of baseball fans Carl Everett was talking about Congrats man.

I want Bill Mueller!!!!!!1! I don't know if I would trade Damaso though.

I saw this late, but I must say, I could care less about him giving his opinion. They are just that. I won't dig into the guy for giving it. I in fact share most of the same views as him. Especially the Wrigley one.

Yeah, those pics are from last year, but they've been planning it for awhile. Same with the A's. The Twins new stadium look badass. The new Mets stadium is supposed to be a replica of the new Yankee Stadium IIRC. Here's where you could view them. http://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/FutureBallparks.htm

I can't make it out there so I go to ABT.

He won the World Bowl with Amsterdam. He currently holds most passing records at Illinois IIRC and he was the guy who led us to the Fiesta Bowl with Brandon Lloyd and Walter Young.

He probably finds it hard that all his boys(Deron, Luther, Powell) are leaving him at Illinois. Those are his roaddogs. He probably feels left behind and cope that with the money and probably a better chance of winning an NBA championship than an NCAA title, he wants to be gone. I still see him staying, but he's just going to wait until the last hour to say so.

ORTON 4 MVP

Duque is still better than any of our 5 pitchers. I'll take it. Our offense though has gone back into a slump.

I love baseball much more. The Bears are alright I guess, but I don't really like them.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 14, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) Does Griffey add something that Dye, Rowand, or Pods (maybe toss Everett in that list, too) adds to our team? Name power, and that's about it. Pods adds speed, Rowand is pretty balanced, and Dye would probably put up similar numbers to Griffey over the season (maybe a little worse offense, but a bit better defense). I'd say he'd be comparable to Everett, maybe a touch better offensively and defensively. We already have a log-jam at DH. No thanks. Griffey would be better overall than Dye. Better offense and better defense. Way better defense.
