witesoxfan Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Link to story Have we not been saying this constantly? Also....it says we're interested in JD Drew, Brian Giles, and Carlos Beltran.....and IMO, the only one we coudl get is Drew....Giles has a no-trade clause, and Beltran is intradivisional....unlikely we would deal with the Royals(though the Royals would deal with anyone). I just kind of laughed at KW's comments....he's such a f***ing dumbass. Regardless of whether or not he is in power....they are just funny as hell to read.....because he's so f***ing clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Well I have a new approach I'm taking to this whole matter. Going to do quite a bit of research and write up an article on my way of rebuilding this team. Some will like it, plenty won't cause I end up giving up on the season. Giles would be the only one I'd want cause he's signed. I am a big JD Drew fan, but I don't do Garland for him simply because Sox can't take on money without giving it up and it will mean Colon is gone.

mreye Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Every year they tease their fans. Every year they disappoint them. It's not just the manager. I've never read a more true statement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Chisoxfn, when you say the Sox can't take on more money, you mean to say they won't, right? It's just that they won't shell out more then they have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wake up Jason. Colon is gone in July, book it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 You have to wake up Jason. Colon is gone in July, book it. Well my proposal that I'll be writing goes along with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Chisoxfn, when you say the Sox can't take on more money, you mean to say they won't, right? It's just that they won't shell out more then they have to. They won't. JR would spend the money if the team was making money, but he isn't one to lose money on his team. Like it or not he's always said if the fans came he'd spend more money, but they have never tried him on that, so we don't know for sure. He is rather easy to read though, and you know the payroll isn't getting expanded or at least it would shock me if it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Well my proposal that I'll be writing goes along with that. Oh, I'll just have to wait till you post you're story to tell you you're wrong again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Hey Jason, will your article on rebuilding the Sox come before or after your article on the Top 50 Prospects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 They won't. JR would spend the money if the team was making money, but he isn't one to lose money on his team. This whole topic of why he doesn't spend, or why fans don't come is so behind over and lame. Fans don't come because of his actions over the past 23 years. He has no incentive to want fans to come because less fans means he doesn't pay rent. He wants to win yes, but under his conditions, which is cheaply.
