Gene Honda Civic Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 13, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) Agreed, Nice move KW.. IMO Alex was a last option if KW could not sign anyone this offseason. I was looking for this post... KW picked up a guy who the nats could have had for nothing in August, and turned him into a good prospect in the form of a 2003 2nd round pick...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I don't know about hte Sabean comment. Don't they win between 90 and 100 games every year? We should be so lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I don't see why this is such a big deal. I don't think Escobar can come back from the injury to be the top ranked player like he was, when he was the key component in the Roberto Alomar Indians/Mets deal a couple years ago. I'm hoping that now my boy Jamie Burke makes the team as a utility player. He can be played at 3rd, catcher, and outfield. I better not see that sorry piece of s*** Borchard on the team come April 4th. I hope they designate his ass for assignment, or release him, because he's a pain in the ass. You don't sit there and wait on a guy who got a bonus and hasn't lived up to anything. This year it is make or break for him, and since I saw what I saw in the Mexican League release, he's already behind. I'll rip on him all I want, because look at his numbers, and I'm not even seeing any injuries, so there's no excuse. I don't see any major infielder coming in, seeing as how we have Iguchi coming in to play 2nd base. And these relievers? I thought our bullpen was set...or are we discussing the sake of a 25th man here? Am I confused? rockin emoticons guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke can spell Crede at 3rd so Uribe can concentrate on SS and only SS. Let Valdez be this year's Uribe seeing time at both 2B and SS. Trade Willie for a minor leaguer and let's gget this season going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is I want Borchard out of town. I'm ready for the season. 2 days, 6 hours, 26 min, 40 seconds and counting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox need a guy who can play multiple INF positions right now, leaving Harris as the odd man out, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The expectations will be tough enough as it is without him bouncing around. Same for Iguchi. Does anyone know if Pablo Ozuna has played 3B in his career?

Punch and Judy Garland Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 take Barry Bonds off the team? It doesn't work that way. Take Jeter off the Yanks and they don't have as many rings. How about Sabean bringing in Jason Schmidt when nobody wanted him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
