I don't want Juan Pierre at all. He had a terrible year last season despite playing in Coors and his stats would be even worse outside of Coors.
I'd like to see the Sox just stick with Rowand and the current players they have. We need pitching before we need position players.
-
I'll take Oliver Perez, Dennis Tankersly or Jake Peavy for MJ as well.
Lawrence would be good though.
-
Valentin has a few clutch HRs in his day.
K-Layton hasn't had a clutch hit since little league.
-
I saw him this past summer and he looked decent but not above Jimenez by any means.
However, he may turn out better than Willie.
-
Borchard isn't going anywhere, you can bet on that.
Welcome, glad to have you.

Now lets not pick on royce, he did what he was signed to do, play defense. I dont think anybody was expecting him to hit .320 with 25 home runs. yes hit did start off slow with the bat in his 2 seasons here, but i remember him playing SS much better fielding wise than Valentin.
I felt obligated to respond to this because it's not totally accurate. Our "wise, brilliant, etc." GM traded Aaron Myette I believe for K-Layton, we didn't sign him. I can't figure out what would be worse. Signing K-layton or trading for him. Either way, anyone who knows anything would know beforehand that he is horrible and a cancer in the clubhouse. Royce should take the salary the Sox paid him and split it between the Sox ticket owners who paid to see him hit .056 with a hit once every 17 games.
I say the mods make a new rule: NO MORE MENTIONS OF K-LAYTON or you're off the board!
-
Where's the link from ESPN? Can't seem to locate it.
-
Any Sox fan who defends K-layton should be banned from this board for life and sentenced to life as a Scrubs fan.
K-layton sucks and he always will! Here's to a fun year picking up garbage Rolls Royce.
-
I saw him twice last summer and didn't really care for him, but maybe he will turn into something decent. You never know, he could still turn it around.

Right now, Buehrle doesn't deserve more than a 3 year deal worth no more than $12 million. That is more than fair based on compensation guys like Zito and Pujols are currently getting. In a few years, we can talk big money with Buehrle but at least give him a considerable raise after his first two seasons.
-
No matter how you look at it, if we lock up the nucleus of Mags, Konerko, Buehrle, Crede and Borchard long term and add a solid arm, the Sox will be in good shape to win the Central for years to come.
Look at it this way, once all of the Twins players (Hunter, Jones, Doug, Rivas, etc.) command more money, that team will be split up. I'd even like to see us maybe go after Hunter or Jones when they are ready to bolt the Twins cities. If the Indians lose Thome, write them off for a while. Tigers and Royals, well, don't even need to mention them. Neither has shown a commitment to win.
I hope the Sox realize that if they can lock up those 5 core players, this team could dominate a weak division for a few years, maybe more.
-
Great move, although I'd like to see him and Mags signed through about 2008.

Old News, it was posted yesterday.

Dude, I cant stand MJ. Anyone who remembers me from mlb will know that. In my mind, he doesnt seem to be able to do anything. He doesnt throw out runners very well, he doesnt hit at all, he has no speed. But we should still keep him as a mentor to Olivo. MJ can call a good game and therefore he should stay because Olivo needs the tutoring... And every once in a while, he can give Miguel a breather... But nothing more...
He may not throw out runners well, but he is by far a better defensive backstop than Paul or Olivo at this point. No one who knows baseball would question MJ's abilities behind the plate, although he doesn't have the greatest arm, he stops the ball and digs it well. $500,000 for a lefthanded hitting catcher is not bad, although he isn't a starter.
-
I've been informed that the Sox have signed Mark to a one-year deal worth $500,000.
Just wanted to pass that along.

Meanwhile, Beane is out looking to move some salary (Cory Lidle to the White Sox for catcher Mark Johnson is a possibility) and add a center fielder if that player meets the Oakland criteria.

Gammons has officially lost it. If KW did this trade, I would officially be a KW fan regardless of his past screwups. If Billy Beane did this trade, they should fire him so he can go to Boston.

Although I wouldn't totally be in favor of the move, Cory Lidle is a solid starter. I'd like to see us make a push for several guys though and then take what we can get instead of just targeting Lidle. Here's to hoping KW makes a smart move.

Pretty ignorant if you ask me. Hopefully he learned his lesson.
-
Bears won't get Saban, he is LSU 4 Life.
-
From what I read now, the Sox asked him not to go and he went anyway, so it's his own fault if he gets hurt.

MLB stars lose again in Japan, 8-2
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
Mark Buerhle was knocked out of the game by a Hideki Matsui line drive. Then the Major Baseball All-Stars were KO'd for the second straight night by their Japanese counterparts.
The slugger nicknamed "Godzilla" stunned Buerhle during a four-run fourth inning Monday night. Although the Chicago White Sox right-hander flicked his glove up and ducked his head, he took the shot off the top of his left shoulder and immediately left a game Japan won 8-2 in the Fukuoka Dome. The play went as an infield single.
"It's just sore. It's a bruise," said Buerhle, who has a bruised left shoulder and may pitch again in his spot Saturday, the next to last game of the series. "It feels like some one punched me in the shoulder. I saw it coming back at me and just tried to get out of the way. I think I just turned my shoulder at it."
-------------------------------------
Remind me again why he is playing over there. If he gets seriously injured, I am going to be extremely pissed.
-
I was at the game, it was unreal to say the least.
Never seen anything like it before.
Just glad LSU came out on top.
-
White Album and Help! are excellent as well.
-
Just wondering what you guys would pick.
Personally, I rank em like this:
1) Revolver
2) Sgt. Pepper
3) Abbey Road
4) Rubber Soul
After that, it's a crapshoot.

Peavy and Tankersly are more highly regarded than Perez, but both struggled last season.
Here's the books on Peavy and Tank FYI.
Strengths: Tankersley can throw four pitches for strikes, and most of them are nasty. He can reach the mid-90s with his four-seam fastball, and his sinking two-seamer arrives in the low 90s. Hitters can’t sit on his fastball because he has a mid-80s slider that was rated the best breaking ball in the Cal League.
Strengths: One veteran Padres scout says Peavy is the closest thing to Greg Maddux he has seen, and Double-A Southern League managers seconded that comparison. Peavy puts the ball wherever he wants, whenever he wants. He uses a lively low-90s fastball, a slider and a changeup.
