Kenny Williams should definitely stay. I love Ozzie, but if he can't straighten his sh*t out I'd like to see Dave Martinez from the Rays given a chance. Thunderbolt's signature about Ozzie scares the hell outta me though.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 08:56 AM) Exactly. I know ownership is different, but still. I doubt Wal-Mart would hire you if you shoplifted there 10 years ago under different management. LOL oh yeah... I forgot all about Wells for Sirotka Didn't he play for Cito Gaston up there before though?

I bet Kenny Williams wonders if he could have replaced J.P. Ricciardi in Torondo last year...

It is a BEAUTIFUL day for baseball!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 11, 2010 -> 07:49 AM) THis is about the 4th time this has been repeated this week. We will NOT be getting a draft pick if AJ Pierzynski signs with another team. Why? Because he is earning $6.75 million this year. If you offer him salary arbitration, then his salary is likely to stay at that level or go even higher next year. No team is silly enough to pay him that much for an additional year at his current age. Therefore, no team in MLB would offer AJ Pierzynski salary arbitration, unless he hits .350 with 25 HR the rest of the year. No team will get any draft picks if AJ Pierzynski signs anywhere else. Okay got it. Thanks for clearing that up.

So it would be better to keep A.J., waste money on him when we're not going anywhere this year, and end up just getting another draft pick for him when he signs with another team next year?

Wow... He's actually admitting it. Man he's gone. I hope the language filter is working the day he resigns.

Good God... Kenny Williams is going to resign if this keeps up. I wasn't believing any of this Kenny Williams v. Ozzie crap in the beginning, but it sure does seem like it's true now. It looks like Reinsdorf is going to have to make a decision. If KW leaves, I'm going to be pissed.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:26 PM) I was saying possibly in terms of how the Sox are going to sell MB if they want to deal him. As I said in another thread, I've got no doubt MB would go to the NL and produce very good numbers from the get go, teams in the AL (the AL Central in particular) have seen too much of MB over the years and know how he operates. This I agree with. I hope that MB can turn it around, but I don't know if he'll ever be a dominant pitcher in the AL Central again.

AJ is not going anywhere... at least not right now. I don't think he'll have a problem approving a trade to a contender after his 10/5 rights kick in.

GAVIN!!!! KOTSAY!!!! BECKHAM!!!!

I'm wondering if they'll even keep BP as a sponsor. The whole thing feels kind of dirty. The only thing that would make it worse is if all three games are played in the type of weather that we are having today. Good Lord I hope 2011 is different. I spent all of last winter counting down days until spring training... for this? Blah.

Who cares? I can't even give my Cub fan coworkers sh*t because we both suck. This season is really depressing.

I know it probably won't happen, but I still want Kila Ka'aihue to be our starting 1b of the future. I think the guy has a huge upside if he's coached right.

Maybe he was talking about his falling out with Wimpy

I hope I'm wrong, but it's hard to see Jake Peavy being as dominant here as he was in the NL. Maybe the Cardinals (or the Phillies) take him off our hands...

I'll probably get flamed for this, but if someone offered up a couple of nice prospects for Mike Caruso ERRRR... Gordon Beckham, I hope KW pulls the trigger. Seriously. He could end up being like Mike Caruso for real. Remember how popular Brandon Mc Carthy was? Didn't he land us John Danks and Nick Masset? That trade was unpopular at the time, but I think KW won in the end. Maybe it'll be a similar scenario.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:30 AM) I was hoping that they'd re-sign PK to a three-year extension at a reduced salary. If they're willing to deal him, I imagine that Mark might be on the trading block as well. Maybe he goes away as a rental (and possibly win another ring), and come back home to the Sox in the offseason.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:26 AM) http://twitter.com/Buster_ESPN So.. The demolition and reconstruction has officially begun. I'm kinda excited.

Unload and reload please. The goal is to win the World Series, not to just catch the Twins. Can this team playing at their best win it all? No.

Cool... Bobby with the 1-2-3 inning finally. Hopefully that increased his trade value.

Greg Walker is my Pick to Click...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:15 PM) Buehrle needs to be NL'ed Right along with his buddy JFPFS.

God Bless you MB, but you would look GREAT in a St. Louis Cardinals jersey right about now...

That'll score a pair. 2-0 Tribe.
