VERY CONSERVATIVE!?

Jose is fine as long as he is our best option at 1st or DH. Don't be doing any Konerko farewell tours while we are in championship mode. Can't afford under utilizing 1 of 25 spots on a team trying to win now.

They are undoubtedly building the war chest for a huge offseason. Stay positive.

The daily watch can begin.

I agree with you. A few nice moves and this roster will be very good. Actually...I'm more concerned with the manager and his band of coaches.

Between RF and DH there is a lot of offense to be found this offseason.

This game had Timmy range far into the hole for a nice catch then held on to the throw because it was obviously useless. Wasn't long ago he might have heaved the ball into the stands behind 1st base. Slowly but surely these guys will learn from each other if the coaches can't teach them.

Lack of coaching shows up quite frequently.

Big time!

If this was a movie...Palka would clear the bases.

Eloy is not an easy out lately. Have a good feeling about this.

Can McCann be the hero again?

Abreu with another clutch hit to keep our hopes alive.

Timmy smells that batting title.

Strike Out but has a nice looking swing.

Next year you will be all smiles.?

I do feel sorry for him. It isn't easy failing in such a public manner.

Palka making Mendoza look like Babe Ruth.

Strangely Hahn seems to run very hot and cold on talent evaluation. I love his acquisitions for the major deals of Sale, Q & Eaton. I love the McCann and Colome gets as well. Alonso is the other extreme. Hahn doesn't do all these deals in a vacuum. I wonder how extensive the talent evaluation team is.

In hindsight every person on this board would agree with you.

That is a jaw dropping stat.

Palka lost his exit velocity when he lost the weight.

His numbers have become pretty pedestrian. He isn't worth much more than your suggested Dunning / Sheets offer IMO. Boston & NY players get hyped beyond reality very often.

2 WAR type of player would solve massive hole. Would work but could probably do better.

I'm referring to our lousy history with signing NL sluggers.
