05-06 Offseason Acquisition Guide

wait Cairo is coming back? I musta totally missed that

yea man, where ya been, talks have been going on for over a month

 

He's a pedro killer.

I dont know his numbers against Pedro, but I think you might be confusing him with Enrique. But you may be right there too, like I said I dont have the numbers.

 

Yeah, I always liked him even when he was a player, good hard workin class act.

...he still is a player.

I made the update for Randa, Bradford and I threw Cairo in as well, just with "date pending" where the date would go.

[Cityofchampions33]

Yeah, I'll always remember that moment though

[riverside sluggers]

Eric Byrnes is close to signing with the Diamondbacks.

Pokey's the man.

[a700hitter]

Pokey's the man.

Pokey would have had it.

[jsinger121]

with pokey signed by the marlins hanley now will have to compete for the starting job.

[26 to 6]

I am surprised the Sox didnt make a a push for him considering his popularity in 2004 (and obviously their need for a SS)

he is a very exciting fielder, but he can't hit a lick, plus he has a bad injury history.

That would have been exactly what an FO in disarray would have done. Something to hold in front of the fans and say, "See, we are doing something, and you like this guy."

I appologize for being COMPLETELY oof on this suggestion. I thought it would be a good move considering he is better than the Shortstop you have right now!!

[jsinger121]

there are better options than pokey reese out there. he may be great with the glove but can't hit for crap. alex cora is a better player than pokey because at least he can give you some offense.

[Soxfan1]

He could have backed up.

[26 to 6]

I appologize everybody, I didnt mean to start a big thing here....I am sorry, I f***ed up big here for suggesting that POkey might have been a good idea. I hope everyone can forgive me (or at least drop it)

[Soxfan1]

It's baseball discussion. You don't have to apologize.

Put all the exclamation points you want on the end of your sentences, still doesn't make you right. Cora is at least as good as, and most likely better than Reese. Nice try, though.

lol, I know, it was mainly a sarcastic, yet joking-ish sort of tirade lol

relax man, the purpose of my exclamation points isnt to try to make myself right

 

...it was a suggestion, lets drop it

 

...I find it amazing that you will find any little thing to get on me about

[jsinger121]

baseball discussions are meant to be fun with alittle arguing mixed in

Don't get your panties all twisted. It was a suggestion, and it was refuted, why is that such a bad thing?

 

I'll be thorn in your side as long as you continue with the smarmy attitude in your posts. "He's better than who you have now!!!1!!one!!LOLZ", that is just plain obnoxious. Especially when you don't take the few seconds of analysis it takes to realize that it is wrong.

with pokey signed by the marlins hanley now will have to compete for the starting job.

 

actually in the yahoo! sports article it says he is primed to be the successor to Luis Castillo, the Marlins' former 2nd baseman who was traded to the Twins.

"He's better than who you have now!!!1!!one!!LOLZ"

 

Now when did I throw all of that in there??

They got Olivo?? That one came from nowhere...thanks a lot, I hadnt seen these yet (been busy today)

[Soxfan1]

Wasn't Olivo involved in a trade deadline move last year?

[26 to 6]

yea, this will be his fourth team in the last 3 1/2 years. White Sox, then was traded to Seattle in the Freddy Garcia deal, then got shipped to San Diego last deadline, and was non tendered and now signs with Florida.
