In an era where pitchers are going to be asking for 8-9 mill a season who have posted worse career numbers than Mark (i.e. Ponson), I think we have made a good deal. I know we had him through 2006, but then we would have to go to arbitation each year until then. By which time, if he kept posting good number he could be closing in on 9 million a year by 2006. Now we have him through 2006 at 6 mil. A good deal.

I still say Wright has the stuff to be an extremely dominant RH set guy. His stuff is eerily similar to Eric Gagne and their numbers as starters are the same too. Even Sandy Alomar said last year if they let Denny pitch one inning, and he knew that was all he would pitch, he could get his Fastball up to 95-97 and really hammer his Knuckle Curve.

I never learned how to read!!!! DAMN YOU FOR MOCKING ME!!!

This is going to be an interesting off-season.

Thank God it never got to the point where she couldn't supersize her order...

Lets look at the REAL problem here Why are they allowing "Mary Poppins" to be shown in classrooms?!? This smut-filled, sex epic would cause any mild-mannered child to go nuts. Julie Andrews....what a slut! Seriously, this sounds a bit extreme to sentence an 8 year old. This girl in my kindergarden used to show all the boys her underwear, when she got a new pair. Today she'd be on trial...weird world.

If the Twins lose their best two relievers, this division is looking more and more likely to go our way. But we shouldn't sit pat and hope to win by default.

People have been spouting out numbers without actually talking about the reality of the numbers. The Angels rumored offer of 4 years 48 million is also known to be almost entirely deferred money. While the Sox 3 for 30+ million is all guarenteed. Me thinks Bart goes with guarenteed money, latin coaching staff, and the beeter chance to make the playoffs. In other words...us.

I agree Honel is not ready...but Reed I'm not to sure. I think he may surprise us all in ST.

Let me explain why some want deals to be made. When you bring up your farm system to play, that is called rebuilding. After being in contention in September and winning the division in 2000, we do not need an era of rebuilding. KC and Minn are putting their hopes on youth next season. We have a strong core of a team already and with the right help could win this thing easily.

I think moving Lee to 1st is cool, then can we swing a trade with the brewers for Geoff Jenkins? He can play LF and provide that MUST needed LH pop in the line-up

Raffie!! What a good idea. But the $$$ might be an issue. We NEED a LH power bat in the line-up, not just coming off the bench.

I love Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball trade ideas!

I never heard about him pissing anyone off...Quite the opposite actually. The organization loves him. Kenny is playing the waiting game again this year with the players. It worked last year, landing us Colon.

I also think Carl will be back. He is not the type to go to Tampa for the $$$, he is a player who wants to win.

It's between us and the Angels

I would support Carlos Lee at first. He did play third through out his minor league career. But I would only go with this if we could get a LH bat for Left Field like Everett.

Our September looks better this year. But we got a tough April.

Even recently KW has said the Sox are looking to add a "Top of the rotation" guy. Kenny wants a SOLID 1-2-3.

Hitting Leadoff and playing CF for your 2004 Chicago White Sox... Jeremy Reeeeeed!

Damn you...Damn you to Hell!!!!

Not only has Mrs. Rubarb put up all of decorations last weekend, but we are now completely done with our Xmas shopping and that includes all the cool junk for RJ (ribbie jr.) Ahhh, the sweet smell of victory.

Mmmmm...I love that new car smell! Welcome back.

I love the under-exposed SImpsons characters that pop now and then. My fave being Disco Stu Last night's episode, when Marge got Buff, she threw a jukebox on top of Stu! He exclaimed: "Disco Stu should've Disco Ducked!"
