UC76 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Is anyone worried that this might mean Konerko won't be signed? I'll be pissed if Thome is considered a cheaper option at first base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 These are prospects we gave up. PROSPECTS. And we are getting PROVEN middle of the lineup power. I think this is a very good deal. We didn't lose any of our pitching from last year, this only improves our ballclub. Gio wasn't going to help us repeat, but Thome will.

Greg The Bull Luzinski Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) Gio scared me with his small frame and injury problems. Haig bothers me more than Gio, but with the amount of money Philly picked up, we had to expect to give up something. It'll be interesting to see if either of those kids make it.   Injury prone minor leaguers and Rowand for Thome at half the price.

Guest JimH Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Anyone missing Jeremy Reed? I'm not.  Welcome to the defending World Champions, Mr. Thome! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  Excellent, well played!  Probably the best post in this whole thread.

Soxman72 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Thome trade should signal the end of the Frank Thomas era in Chicago. They will resign Konerko and there will be no room for Thomas. Â Ozzie and KW have been waiting for a chance to let Thomas go and between the injuries and the contract Frank will not be coming back. Â Thanks for the memories Big Hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio wasn't going to help us repeat, but Thome will. Â There will always be more prospects, 50 HR lefties from the Chicagoland area don't grow on trees. Â I, for one, can't wait to see Thome's name etched in the starting lineup. Â If Konerko is brought back--and I have gone on record saying I don't think both Thome and Konerko will be on the same roster--this team is primed for another division championship and beyond.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Konerko almost has to be back for this team to really be better. I hope they get it done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Don't you guys remember playing against Thome when he was with the Indians? I hated facing him, he was killer in Chicago. And now we'll be seeing that every game next year!!!

JDsDirtySox Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 The Sox are on the hook for 4 years of Thome @ 8 million a year. I think that is a very fair price for Thome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelasDaddy0427 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 One ? for you guys... This deal is great... No ? about that...  But have some of you not watched baseball at all...  It goes...  Brian Anderson >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(Two Million More of These)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Juan Peirre  Hell thats if Brian Anderson hits freaken .200. Want to know why? Because defense is that important... and I shudder to see all the doubles flying over that loser Pierres head... Hendry please help us out and get Juan as soon as possible... Save KW and Ozzie from themselves if possible... BUT ANDERSON NEEDS TO BE THE STARTING CF NEXT YEAR! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
