When a team declines to pick up a player's option does he become an unrestricted free agent, or does a team have to pick him up for what his option was worth? I'm pretty sure he becomes a UFA therefore teh price for J.T. Snow would depend on many things. We don't need to worry about it if we trade Konerko.

I would love to see a player like J.T. Snow come here if Paully was traded. He fits here for all the right reasons.

Koch: 4-8 4.58era 28 saves Marte: 6-2 2.79 era 20 saves

Am I missing out on Praising Kip! Oh how I loved the Kipster.

How good is Fullmer defensively at first base? If we have both Konerko and Thomas still their is no point in having Fullmer on our team. If Thomas was gone though, it might not be a bad idea to have Fullmer play 1st base with Konerko DHing. Fullmer seems like a pretty agressive in nature in person and may try to prove that Anaheim was wrong for dropping him. That could result in some good numbers.

He never really was that huge of a stud though. He had a million saves with Oakland but he wasn't exactly a stud.

Spring training is going to be very important for Billy. If he can show that he can consistenly be up close to 96-99 mph again he will be given the shot to close at the start of the season. If he is pitching down in the 90s in spring training then who knows what we will do with him. Probably just mop-up or maybe even a chance to start. Marte will close if Koch isn't back to his old form. It is important to note that even when Billy is at his best he's still not that great and I still believe Marte is a much better pitcher. It comes down to the $$$ we're paying for him.

Before we go ahead and name a new mod is there actually any need for one?

I've been around here since Kip Wells days and have never really helped on the board. And with all our losses on Saturday maybe some help is needed. Please feel free to ask for help.

Sorry I just noticed your post and also realized that it's not really any of my business. I just hope we dont lose Jas, Heather and CW.

Ah what the f***!

I've been around here for I guess 2 years and never seen this much fighting. Can someone give me a rundown on what is going on?

Won't be Juan Pierre but can be a reliable leadoff hitter somewhere down the line.

I think you're coming to that conclusion a little fast. Sanders never really got a good chance and Schoenweis showed lots of promise down the stretch. I think Schoenweis could at least be a decent Embree like pitcher.

Why would Schoenweis or Sanders be removed from the 40 man roster?

I don't see how Ozzie could make this team any worse. Someone with some energy and entertainment and maybe he could keep some of the dueches on this team in line and make sure they remember they are playing for a TEAM.

What the lol, I made that post thinking it was a new thread. But I guess I put in the exact same title and subject as an earlier thread???

As reported by chisox.com these 2 were signed and added to the 40 man roster, there are now 39 men on the roster man roster.

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the girl in his avatar is his girlfriend and he's the guy. By mission accomplished he was probably talking about the kiss he was planning to do.

I have no idea what this was about, can someone tell me or point me to a previous thread.

You don't do the most funding in the world, take a look at percentage of GDP given to other countries. Also look at the child poverty rates in the U.S. they are some of the worst of first world countries. Obviously you're not feeding or clothing enough children.

General Wesley Clark for President, finally Americans can be proud again. That would be my slogan, he seems like a respectable choice.

Please find it in you heart to vote for someone other than Bush for president Jas. For the sake of the world! p.s. we need a begging emoticon
