gonzalez supposably isnt even available at the moment so what does that mean?(signing thome if they dont land agon)

Whether the club can get Gonzalez or not is another question, but the Sox have interest in Adrian. But if they aren't able to land Adrian for there DH, I expect Thome to come back in a reduced role. He would still be the primary starter, but I expect him to get less at-bats with Jones and some others stepping in.

Ugh.

 

Ozzie, I hope you're happy when Jim Thome kills us next year.

 

I look forward to seeing Thome swing and miss at every high fastball that is thrown to him by Thornton

I doubt anyone would have a problem with that.

This.

 

Thome is a great guy and can hit homers, but I got frustrated watching him at times.

This would be the best thing ever! First the Sox wouldn't get him, thank god. Then, he would waste a roster spot for the Twins considering they have Kubel. Then, when he does play, he will only be a detriment to the team!! Make it happen baby!

 

Yeah, you're right. Rotating Jones and Kotsay is a much better idea.

Becuase Mark Kotsay is, like, so much better!

I dont think Jim could ever be classified as a detriment to a team. ever.

The way its looking, payroll and roster spot wise, Jones and Kotsay are the DH. The only way I see us getting another hitter is through a trade that involves Jenks, and we can slide Putz/Thorton into closer.

 

Yeah no

on the bright side, at least he'll get a classier response on a return to Chicago than he did to Cleveland.

Let's retire his number a la Harold ...

This deal makes very little sense. I severly doubt the twins would like to stick Jason "doughboy" Kubel in left field most of the year so Thome can DH. Delmon Young is their LF and Kubel is a well above average DH already. If Thome does go there I could see him only as a bench player, but it sill makes very little sense.

Kotsay @ 34>>>>>>>>>Thome @ 39/40 and its not even close in my opinion

Are you drunk or just stupid? Even in his best year since 2004, Kotsay wasn't even close to the production that Thome gave us last year. The amount of crap Thome gets from Sox fans is downright embarrassing, and people who say that Kotsay is as good as (or better than) Thome should be embarrassed about their lack of basic baseball knowledge.
