QUOTE(jenksd @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 09:03 PM) haha, you all left before i could retract what I said. maggs hit a line drive and the drays right fielder crapped his pants but still caught it Come back I'm still there. My browser exited me out for some reason.

Game's not over Nuke and Greg. You can come back to the chat now. It just went to extras in Detroit.

I'm hoping for 18 in a row, just so he can beat out that POS Santana.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 07:54 PM) Second, whoever said Wood is struggling, he's got 14 HR's in AA and a .288 avg. with a .365 OBP and a .567 slugging percentage (over .900 OPS). That sure sounds like struggling to me... So really, there's not a prayer of the Angels giving up this package, what with their affinity for prospects, and their "ballless GM" (stolen from the man quoted above), right?

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jun 12, 2006 -> 05:24 PM) Read the subtitle.... Hard to do from the forum index.

You could've put something like (not the 3B) in the title to avoid confusion. I'm sure I'm not the first or last to get worried when reading the thread title.

IF Uribe can get on one of his hot streaks, this team would be unstoppable. Now if he can just get on one.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) I'm hoping BA actually gets a start against a righty soon. He has an OPS of about .200 better against them compared to lefties. This is one case where playing the matchups hurts.

That seems like a pretty high price... Then again, that is from MLBTradeRumors.com. The next time they break a significant story will be the first.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 11:13 PM) dont you guys realize we cant trade out prospects? the charlotte knights need to win the IL championship! Lumpy is in AA.

Best birthday present I could've asked for from the Sox.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) They obviously don't get CIU in Montana. I'd say that catch bought Brian at least two more weeks in the bigs.

Having Crede combined with Fields's not so stellar 3B defense makes Fields somewhat expendable, plus the guys that people are talking about getting in exchange for him aren't going to come cheap. QUOTE(palesox38 @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 11:53 PM) I don't want anyone to misunderstand what I wrote. There's no doubt that I'de love to have Crede for the rest of his career if it would be possible, but Fields really could still fit in somewhere in the future, like OF, as we mentioned. I just think he's too valuable and I think it would really have to be a mega-deal for me to be OK with him leaving. Say Carl Crawford or a great setup man (Scott Linebrink), like what has been discussed?

I hope Thome and Dye go 1-2 in the MVP voting. They both deserve it. Maybe they could tie?

Brian. Anderson. THE reason for the win tonight. Mack in CF=loss.

Get Bobby up and cue the fat lady!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 04:31 PM) I like Linebrink a lot, but would you guys actually give up Fields for Linebrink and Cameron? Yes. In that deal the Sox get an immediate and somewhat permanent solution to the bullpen problem and at the very least a stopgap CF. For Fields, that's a nice package, especially considering the price the Rays would likely want for Crawford by himself.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) I missed the part where BMac was an All-Star pitcher. I missed the part where Ervin Santana was. As Jason said McCarthy>>>E. Santana. Anyway, it looks like the article said the Rays wanted corner IF and power arms. Fields + Lumpy?

QUOTE(G&T @ Jun 9, 2006 -> 02:40 PM) According to this Santana wouldn't be enough, which means BMac wouldn't come close. I missed the part where Ervin Santana>Brandon McCarthy. That said, I doubt McCarthy would be traded.

Anyone think Tracey has a real shot at earning and keeping a pen spot this year?

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) So, what was your favorite moment of the Jeff Nelson era? The one where he pitched well?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) $6M team option next year. I love team options.

Okay, so Tracey got called up, or Lopez? I've read both. I'm hoping for Tracey though. To those who see this as a bad thing, can anyone who comes up be worse than Cliff's 7+ ERA and 2+ WHIP?

Isn't his contract up after this season?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 11:56 PM) The slider is supposidly just a tighter curve that looks similar to a slider. I think when you're dealing with a guy like Jenks, it's nearly impossible to identify all of his pitches. The pitch I'm talking about has right to left break though. He threw it to get the K against Granderson yesterday and it was clocked at 87.
