  1. His stats for A, AA, and AAA are .261/.624 http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=iglesi001jos
  2. I expect something out of Jenks: more of the same. Signing Oswalt will put us significantly over the threshold, especially if we get Cordero too. I would love to get Bailey; I see him play out here. He is good. I would rather the team get its s*** together this year and make a real run next year that make a half-hearted run this year and not have the resources to go for it next year. We'll see how things pan out. If the owners go much over the cap then to me it means that they really believe that they can make a run this year. If they don't then I think the opposite is true.
  3. Clay will help. Even when he was piching, the team ERA was in the middle of the AL. It was there all year. To get really good I think we need a team with a dominant pitching staff. Thats how we did it in 04 and 07. You just can't keep bashing the other guys to death. You have to keep them from scoring too. The past three years we couldn't do that. We finished at 7, 8, and 9 the past three years in league ERA. That won't cut it.
  4. In Pawtucket his stats were: .235/.554. He has NEVER hit in the minors. Sure, he MIGHT make it to .700 OPS. Then I will believe. Right now, its SHOW ME time.
  5. There is some guy in Japan that Valentine is high on who wants to play for the Sox. Not sure of the details; I remember reading about him though.
  6. I hit the nail on the head this year, didn't I?
  7. I agree. I would much rather stay under the threshold this year so we can exceed it next year and not get stuck with the 50% tax. I don't see us going anywhere this year anyway, and furthermore, next year's FA class is much better than this year's.
  8. Saunders is a piece of s*** as a pitcher. He is in the same category of Tim Wakefield. No way in hell I want him in a Sox uniform.
  9. How much do you think Santa wants for Roy Oswalt? We have about $5M to spend this year.
  10. I think the Cubs have every right to ask for more than that in compensation for relieving us of Epstein.
  11. We aren't getting Oswalt. We aren't getting Madsen. And we aren't even getting Cordero. Once Ortiz gets his money there will be almost no money left to spend on those guys unless we exceed the luxury tax threshold significantly. And that isn't happening, nor should it this year.
  12. Its entirely possible that the franchise will be sold before he is traded, later this season. Then the new owners can negotiate a better deal or re-sign him.
  13. They Angels are going to regret this deal. Pujols is truly great now; he will also be 32 years old soon. How productive will he be when he is 35 or 36? Even if he is productive then that still leaves about six years of overpaying him. I am glad the Angels made that deal and not us.
  14. The league OWNS the Hornets. Up until now they have allowed the Hornets' management to do what they like. However, if Paul is traded the value of the team decreases. The league is trying to protect its assets.
