It's time to break up the core:

 

Koney - gone

Maggs - trade to Cards for Renteria (3 yrs 18mil left on contract).

Lee - lock up - best bat potential on team right now

Crede - keep

Everett - sign at a low cost

RF - bring someone up (Borchy)

Colon - lock up - best arm on team right now

Garland - lock up - 2nd best arm on team

Beurhle - try to lock up

E-LO - go 1 yr at a time

Alomar - sign him up (both)

Thomas - 6mil isn't that bad for 100 RBI DH

 

I think we can afford all that.  Colon is a Freak.  Don't let him get away.

Lee has Bonds potential.  Don't let him get away.

I agree with almost everything. But Carlos having Bonds potential, come on. What has he done to make you think he can be one of the greatest hitters ever. He looks like he will be an allstar but he hardly looks like a hall of famer.

Sounds good to me. I wouldn't be complaining.

Ok. What I meant by Bonds potential is the 40/40 club. Not a HOF.

Keep in mind Carlos is a Latin player so it's taking more time for him to learn to be a great player. But he's taken great strides this yr. Sammy didn't do crud until his 6 yr & then it clicked. Carlos is showing the same potential at the plate with much more speed. He's essentially a speedy tight end playing MLB. I'd compare him to Jose Canseco but I think Carlos is a much better fielder.

 

Maggs might very well put up Manny #'s some day, but he's outside the price range for the SOX.

The best thing that happened the 2nd 1/2 is Konerko getting out of his slump.

Now he's definitely tradeable.

 

St. Louis needs Maggs more than Renteria. They have a good D SS coming up.

Maggs will more than replace Renteria's offense. So I think they will do the deal.

If a 3rd team can be pulled in to get Drew the SOX might also be able to get an arm in the deal.

 

Tino is making 7.5mil, so trading Koney to the Cards is not out of the question either.

 

The Cards can help the SOX get Renteria, and shave off 15mil from the payroll.

That 15 can go towards re-sign Lee, Everett, R Alomar, & Colon.

Lol... im the biggest Elcaballo fan in the world... and I wouldnt even say Carlos has Bonds potential... those numbers are just unbelievable when you look at what he's done through his whole career.

 

Sammy numbers... i can go with that... but Carlos has a better eye at the plate, and is slowly learning how to hit opposite field for power....

 

On a side note....

 

WE CAN TAKE 2 OUT OF 3 DAMMIT.. ITS KENNY ROGERS FOR GOD SAKES TOMORROW....

 

 

GO SOX + #45!
