QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Sep 30, 2013 -> 04:45 PM) Beckham has been mediocre for four straight years now. It's time to move on if a guy like Semien is waiting right behind him. Put Semien at 2B, improve C, 1B, 3B. CF and get a LH set up man. Joe Crede says hello

One of the pitchers was ranked #3 for 2011, but not for 12

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 31, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) So who's the 4th outfielder now? Danks2

QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 11, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) It may actually be worse for someone who was an outstanding hitter to be a coach, because sometimes when you are supremely talented you simply don't have to do a whole lot other than get out of your own way in order to succeed. When such a person becomes a coach of others, it is often difficult for them to understand why this isn't the case for them as well. This is why Frank may not be the best choice for a hitting coach

If there's a market for TCQ while he's quasi healthy, he needs to go. He's too much made of glass

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Oct 8, 2011 -> 05:13 PM) Sorry but I don't understand this. Isn't any hitting coach going to have his own hitting style? Not necessarily. Walt Hriniak's style is unique. Most others I see work with varying styles, more based on the players

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 7, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) that is correct. And I believe that Rogey is also a Sox employee when he does Pre and Post I dont recall that, but seems reasonable. I'm not so sure. TV announcers, yes, they are sox employees. I don't believe the radio guys are. I recall when the score took over in 2006, there was discussions on Rooney leaving because WSCR didnt want to pay his high salary

Last I checked, radio personalities were employees of WSCR.... would they really want to bring on North?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 30, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) "We met this morning to look back on the 2011 season and to consider the future of the Boston Red Sox, including my involvement with the club," Francona said in a statement released by the club. "I passed along my frustrations at my inability to effectively reach the players. After many conversations and much consideration, I ultimately felt that, out of respect to this team, it was time for me to move on." He admits he can't reach the players. The Sox have a couple of very pricey veterans who need to be "reached". You can cross Francona off the list. He admitted he could no longer reach the players in THAT clubhouse... there is a difference there.

The one point that I haven't seen anybody make is that the exact course that the team takes for next year and beyond is going to depend on what manager is chosen- especially if KW was being truthful that this will be a "quick" process. If the team decides that Tito or LaRussa is a better organizational/philosiphical fit, they will likely build the team differently than if Alomar or Martinez are chosen. I still keep seeing multiple places saying that LaRussa doesn't want to manage under KW

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:37 PM) I think they move either way, IMO.. I see them trying to get to around 80 Million 80? haha. not likely http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/09/white-sox-rumors-.html

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:11 PM) FYI. Just got a text that the Sox have spoken to Mark's agent. Thats progress from last we heard. Take it FWIW i'll consider it progress only if it wasnt a call to say that the Sox were not intending to bring Mark back...

I was looking for Players that have twitter, who do you know of? I have JakePeavy_44 and ESPY_TEAHEN

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Mar 17, 2010 -> 10:53 AM) Wow that is really weird--you're right. I know they have them and I'm sure you could custom order one with a player's name but you wouldn't see that looking at the site. Here's the one I got last year--at Grandstand--on Opening Day. Triple Threat Sports doesn't have the authentics on the website either... I bet it's a MLB or MLBPA rule that they aren't allowed to sell them online. on the other hand, through tomorrow, MLB.com shop has Buy one get one of equal/lesser value at 40% off (of any item, not just jerseys) plus i searched online and found a 15% off total order coupon!

Wonder why Grandstand doesn't list Authentic player jerseys online. maybe they arent allowed?

Its probably nothing... Tho maybe the return of man soo lee?????

It was probably nothing, but on MJH today, carmen d. Was saying something about having a sox'nugget' possibly relating to sox fest. One of the other guys said he had the same one... But they didn't say what it was. Any ideas what the nugget might be?

i do not think that contractually, comcast can move it to the sports tier, that's one of the reasons they have a minority stake in the network. i thought it was indeed neat to watch larsen's perfect game from the 56 series. was also neat to see the interview snippets with larsen and yogi. have missed the 2005 world series movie so far... hope it comes up again soon.

i also read his quote about not worrying about the money to mean that if they can sign get + type player, they'll spend the money it takes to get it done.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Oct 9, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) During Bobby's absence Matt Thornton got 1 save opportunity and converted it successfully, getting the one out necessary to record the save. Not a single time during Jenks' absence did Matt Thornton start the final inning of a ballgame in which the White Sox had the lead (the standard save situation). He pitched mainly in the 7th and 8th inning during that stretch including some work in the 9th of a tied ballgame. Hell Matt Thornton pitched in much bigger situations over the final month of the season than he did in Jenks' absence and kicked ass. By my count there were only 5 save opportunities during Jenks' absence. Thornton, Dotel and Linebrink all recorded 1 save each and Linebrink blew 2 more. If anyone came to the conclusion that Matt Thornton didn't have the "closer's mentality" during the 16 games Bobby Jenks missed in July (in which Matt Thornton had 1 save opportunity) then they're fooling themselves. i havent been around much, but i agree. in actuality, i see the time when bobby was out as one of ozzie's biggest flubs this year. linebrink should have been left as the setup guy, using thornton as the closer. everybody else could essentially keep in their roles, instead of moving everybody up a spot in the pen. that screwed the roles up so badly, and may have even helped contribute to linebrink's injury, which made the bullpen roles even more screwed up. that being said, i know that we could a good trade for bobby, at least talent wise, but he should still be afordable, so i dont see it as much of an option to trade him at this point.

i'm a tidbit late, but did anyone else see how crooked H. Ramirez's name was on the back of his jersey? holy crap.. the seamstress was drunk

wont need the espn coverage on wednesday.... free tix!!!

good win, but sad to see the offense struggle a bit after the 1st inning.

meh. trade tome konerko to DH, put crede @ 1b fields @ 3rd
