Capn12

Some interesting points there. I dunno why Valentins agent is thinking there are 6 or so clubs that need a 230 hitting stone hands SS. I like the quote: Well hell, I'm sure you would like them to. But its still too much for Jose. Also, Graffy wants to test Free Agency. He may just get an offer to come play somewhere, so we may have to deal with a Graffy-less Sox team in 2004. Its a good thing that they are looking to bring back Sully, cuz I think he could be a cornerstone in our Bullpen if they keep him. Gordon, OTOH, can go get an offer of $5 mill with some other team, thats money we DON"T need to spend.

"Willie Mays Hayes, huh...well you may run like Mays, but you hit like s***." How fitting is that old Major League saying.

Thats gotta be it..... HIGGINS!!!!!

great job Heads, Jas, Show, everyone.....theres a reason that there are new members joining everyday.

Fellow late night owl on the Soxtalk boards, Happy Birthday pal.

Who'da thought that those bratty little younguns from "Full House" would grow up to look like they did.

Well, from what was in this weeks "Entertainment Weekly", the change in actresses due to the death of Gloria Foster will be part of the movie. She is punished by the Merovingian for aiding Neo, and he terminates her 'shell'. They did what they had to do in that situation.

I'm still thinking if ya wanna get Soriano AND Johnson, its gonna take Maggs+Rauch/Honel, and a mid to low range prospect. The Yanks may be wanting to make some big moves, but they won't make outright non-sensical moves like Maggs for Johnson+Soriano

And he wouldnt do anything but help in Credes fielding ability. Robin was as smooth as they come in the field in the 90's for the Sox.

Just for you, The Cheat, I'm changing my avatar!! HIGGINS!!!!!

As long as we got a "Deep Hometown Discount" then yeah, I wouldnt mind having Robins bat on the bench.

What position would we put Ventura at? I love ole Robin, but we don't really have room for him at this point.

Good points, YASNY. I wouldnt mind getting Johnson, but that REQUIRES us to be able to move Konerko. Maybe Maggs+Konerko+Mid-level prosp for Johnson+Soriano++ I dunno, its gonna take moving PK to have Nick Johnson, will we find a taker?

61382, I dunno. An outfield of CLee, Rowand, and Reed scares the bejesus outta me. Theres relatively no power(cept CLee), no real outstanding defensive outfielder either. And that bench would make me sick if we had to pinch hit, cuz we would have ZERO power for late innings. Gload IMO will not be here next year, the move to the 40 man was just to protect the organization against the Rule 5. Idon't wanna see Guillen signed at that price, I'll take....GULP...JosE6 at that price before Guillen. The Rotation looks pretty solid....dunno much about Batista. I know that I have seen him pitch lights out before. Unless we use Wright as the clsoer in that bullpen, Marte's arm will fall off enxt year as the only lefty with versatility(READ-can pitch to more than 2 hitters, unlike Wunsch).

Soriano in the #2 hole would be great IMO. Of course, that still leaves the leadoff spot open...I can't solve that particular enigma

All I can do is :puke at the thought of Cora being the 3rd base coach.

I for one don't want Flash in a Sox uni next year. If he is, that means that KW overpaid for a surgically repaired arm teetering on the brink of falling apart. Gordon wants way too much for his services, and if Koch is here next year, and Marte is here, no reason to spend that money on Gordon

I've been a long time supporter of AaRow. The kid has never gotten his chance to be the everyday CFer when he was healthy. After returning from AAA this year, he did a great job when given an opportunity to play. IMO, and what I hope, is that the real competition will be who KW signs to take Maggs place in RF.

Yep, IB72, we're gonna have to ask you to bump that up to at least 4 posts per day, buddy. 2 just isn't gettin it done.

Whether or not the fans like Maggs and want to trade him, the simple fact remains: you cant have 14 mill wrapped up in 1 player of a 60 mill, 25 player roster. Its not feasible to have that financial situation.

Dear Lord.....Joey Cora?!? The coldest Sox player towards the fans that I ever met? Yuck....I'd rather not see Cora anywhere near the Southside.

Thank you Cali....was thinking the same thing, but couldnt remember what show it ripped. Can't believe I forgot it was Family Guy.

Jesus, AaRow....K-Dub isn't gonna be real happy with ya if you leaked that info. And according to some, you are already treading on thin ice.....

There is a story on the Tribune website concerning the manager search, seems tides may have changed.

The best part though...."if people continue to download music for free....the musical artists will be forced to live in only a semi-lap of luxury. You kids don't want that" Fantastic potshot at the RIAA and their lunacy. Trey Parker and Matt Stone continue to find ways to use their animated characters to poke fun at real life idiosyncrasies.
