KW will b**** and complain about every good player out there by passing the Sox, and then he will say he is happy standing pat.

 

With the high prices that free-agent starters are commanding, Williams seems to be leaning toward in-house candidates such as Jason Grilli and the arbitration-eligible Scott Schoeneweis to fill the No. 5 spot in the rotation behind Freddy Garcia, Mark Buehrle, Jose Contreras and Jon Garland.

 

''We're going into the fifth spot in a little different position this year,'' Williams said. ''We have confidence Jason Grilli can give us more than we've gotten in that spot in the last few years.''

 

One of the Sox' free-agent targets, Jaret Wright, reached a three-year, $21 million deal with the New York Yankees. Wright's price tag was higher than the Sox were willing to go, and the going rate for starters has surprised Williams.

 

''Its very concerning, but less concerning because we've got four quality guys in our rotation,'' Williams said. ''We assured ourselves we wouldn't be in a position of absolute need where you are almost held hostage to do something you're not comfortable doing.

Would you rather him come out and state that we're going after so and so. That hasn't exactly worked with Wright or Vizquel. I doubt any of those guys will be the #5.

OMG this is not good. when JR was on the score a while back, he said their number one goal was a 5th starter. so somebody is FOS or something has changed.

With the hopes of being called an optimist by CubKilla and Anthrax....

 

Since when did the rotations become final on December 8th? Relax b****es.

This is the KW style of GM,

 

Say your flyinh under the radar, then go after a mid-avg player, low ball them, then tell the press your happy with the players that you have...Repeat when necessary.

 

And to answer your question, I would like to hear him say.. Yes we have a problem in our Rotation, and I look to see what I can do to fix that at the winter meetings and this offseason.

By 5th starter, without even having listened to it, I can almsot assure you he is talking about adding another starter in general, not a starter that would keep Garland in the #4 spot.

 

We have only 4 starters right now...getting another starter without giving up one of them, no matter who it is, would be us getting a 5th starter...be it Randy Johnson, Tim Hudson, Matt Clement, Odalis Perez, Javy Vazquez, Jason Grilli, or Scott Schoenweis. That person will be the 5th and final starter we need.

 

That's how I view it anyways.

Well, I'm hoping that we don't give up Konerko and Garland for just Vazquez. I'd need more.

 

There's 2 guys I really want (not both of them--well, that'd be good too--but at least one), one is an FA, one through trade. Those guys are Odalis Perez and Tim Hudson. I think it will take something in the 6-7 Mil year region for Perez, which I think is feasible. Hudson would probably require a 3 team deal, as what we have doesn't match the A's wants. Perhaps this:

 

Oakland gets:

BJ Ryan

Erik Bedard

Willie Harris

 

Baltimore gets:

Paul Konerko

 

Sox get:

Tim Hudson

 

Hmm...that probably wouldn't work, but it's the best I can think of right now. Perhaps I'll get a bit more creative later. Also, if we did do that, we'd need to have another MI signed already, and Uribe could play the other spot.

 

I'm really hoping we come out with Renteria as well. I doubt we could get him AND Perez but...we shall see.

 

Also, what day do the meetings offically start? Tomorrow?
