Can't argue with that.

This is what has really impressed me about Carlos Lee this season. I know his power numbers are down but he's a much smarter hitter, imo. Last year he tried to pull everything this year he'll go to right field, he'll go to right center and he's also been having much better at bats. For example his last at bat last night against dotel, fought off some tough pitches, kept fouling pitches off and then finally worked a walk to bring the tying run to the plate.

I'm stuck in the middle.

5 of his 10 stolen bases were in April.

I've never seen a baserunner with his speed so nervous at 1st base.

The pirates would definitely trade him and it has been reported that kenny has atleast had some interest in Jason.

Fair enough. My point is that even a team with a 200 million dollar payroll do have holes but yes your right we don't have 7 other superstars around these two and they definitely have been awful lately.

Jason Kendall and Jerry Hairston jr come to mind.

Steff, I see where your coming from but the yankees have Miguel Cairo and Enrique Wilson playing 2nd base. The red sox have mark bellhorn and pokie reese playing 2nd base, granted bellhorn is having a solid year but can very much fall off at the dish as well.

I'm concerned with Loaiza more then anything so I guess I would have to say starting pitching.

I agree. That rotation would be ridiculous. The back end of the bullpen is pretty solid right now with politte, damaso and shingo another solid reliever would be fine but we don't need a benitez. Another top of the rotation starter would be huge considering it's pretty hard to trust esty right now. A playoff rotation of Pavano, Garcia and Buehrle would be awesome.

um..............

That's why I asked if he was a free agent. Because if he's not then they won't deal him.

Maybe we'll get all our acquisitions back from last year. I guess we can't trade for Shoney though.

After Robbie who we going to go after.... Scott Sullivan. I think Robbie is a definite possibility I guess I wouldn't mind him back here as a back up but we'd have to give very little up.

It's on mlb.com now. And it was 41 rbi's. :headshake

I agree with Rupe being a good prospect. Francisco is a descent bullpen guy. Webster is batting .267, how's that a good year? Personally I don't think Webster is that much of a prospect.

Is Lidge a fa after this year? I'd absolutely love to have him. Can you imagine lidge, damaso, shingo to a close a game out, we'd be able to play 6 inning games, that would be nasty.

Yup and they're all such great prospects. rolleyeyes.gif

Your going to play catcher for us.

I agree if any more upgrades are coming to the offense it's going to be a catcher. Look for the sox to either acquire another starter, a reliever, or maybe both.

I don't think he was bashing frank but no one knows for sure if he will be back.

Way to go Kenny. Welcome back Carl.

I agree with you on that. But do you think the Twins will give up Morneau? I know I don't. I would actually like the sox to make a run at batista but I have no idea what it would cost. Miguel is signed for 2 or 3 more years with a reasonable contract.
