yeah, pedro and Manny are the portrait of good attitudes.

You Aint Seen Nothin' Yet and I forget what DBAHO meant -- It was something sports related.

So has Konerko.

I think so, I wasn't sure, so I just said RJ

I beleive RJ's contract stipulates taht if he's traded the $6M is no longer deferred.

What's this guy smokin'?

You're right, but that illustrates my point even more.... Look how wildly the stats fluctuate just by changing the definition of close and late.

I may be crazy, but I hope he hits 100 homeruns. Those are actually worth something.

Cowley's "stats" are bulls***. If you're going to write a hatchet job after the fact 1) make sure your stats are correct -- Caballo hit .286, Kong .268 -- http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/teams/battin...Type=2&type=reg 2) don't base your article on subsets of larger samples to try and make your point. W/RISP stats fluctuate wildy from year to year. 2-out RISP stats fluctuate even more. It's about sample size. Podsednik hit .209/.313/.357 w/RISP .209/.312/.433 RISP 2 out .253/.299/.465 Close and Late ------------ In 2003, Carlos was .346/.378/.654 w/RISP .338/.390/.704 RISP, 2 out

Unless there is another big bat added, I will guarantee that we score fewer runs than last season. That means the pitching staff has to be much improved. Currently it's not. Plus remember that we play in what is the best hitters park n baseball outside of Coors. It just doesn't really make sense to build your offense around "smallball" and stolen bases in that type of atmosphere. last years lead off hitters went .279/.349/.415 podsednik was .244/.315/.364 That doesn't look like an upgrade to me.

The current White Sox team is about 75 runs worse over the course of the season than last years team... Unless you can prove to me that the acquisition of Vizcaino and Hermanson are gonna put up ERA's of 0.00 to make up for those 75 runs than this team is in serious trouble.

Garland hit better than Podsednik last year.

Do they? -- Maggs is gone, Lee is gone, Frank will be out for part of the year.

that's why the brewers scored the second fewest runs in baseball right? because they were second in baseball in stolen bases. Stolen bases don't = wins.

here's one -- 70 SB's = 85 runs --- Runs are what matter. Aaron Rowand scored 9 more times in almost 200 fewer plate appearences Juan Uribe scored 3 less times in 170 fewer plate appearences "Baseclogger" Paul Konerko scored 1 less time in 70 fewer plate appearences Carlos Lee scored 18 more times in 70 fewer plate appearences I couldn't give two s***s about how many bases he steals -- Steals don't traslate directily into runs.

well, as sox fans, we're nothing if not thorough... Maybe a little late, but thorough. Did anyone know that the Las Vegas 51's will be utilizing the services of Kelly wunch? I heard that Danny Wright got cut?

I think Odalis will come for the going rate of 3/$21M They can structure that, $6M,7M,8M, maybe an option @ $9M - 1.5M buyout -- That would push it to 3/years 22.5M

I think it will be Odalis Perez, not Clement

Rowand is a CFer DAMMMMMMIT

I'm rooting for Arnie to win the last spot as a LOOGY. Leaving Cotts to start in Charlotte

Podsednik better not be in CF over rowand --- Arm - adv. Rowand Reads/angles - adv. Rowand Speed - adv Pod

Last season the Sox had a better DER(% of balls in play turned into outs) than the twins Sox - 0.6955 Twins - 0.6876

I decided to start on page 31... For no reason. The first reply I read was anthrax's only reply in the thread... That pretty much made my head a splode.

The difference being Gload was a .314 hitter in the minors.

He's reportedly in Japan, and has no idea of the trade.
