The Beast

Speed is overrated, especially in a first baseman. A power guy shouldn't be hitting infield grounders anyways, thats not his purpose on the club. David Ortiz is a hell of a ballplayer and proved that with Boston this year. He is a good obp% guy and I would love to see a guy with his tenacity on the Sox, the only problem is he will probably be playing with the Red Sox next year. Brad Fullmer would be kind of a pointless addition, you could get an up and coming guy that would put up equivlant numbers at a cheaper price, so I agree with your Hell No to him I guess. Speed won't win ball games, getting on base will, so we should focus on getting some solid line drive hitters this offseason, and not worry about trying to find speedsters. Agreed. Speedy Gonzos are usually your SS, 2b, and OF, NOT YOUR 1b. Possible 2b-Castillo, Alomar, Walker Possible ss-Eckstein, Tejada, Matsui Possible cf-You get the picture

I'd like to see Spezio play here tho...IMO...

I will add more to this when I get home, as I am just signing off of the DGS School library. The time is 12:06 Revamp of the Chicago White Sox team, 2004 The 2003 season for the White Sox was tough. They battled back from a dismal start in Kansas City, (which was a surprise that Kansas City was so good) when Mark Buehrle, Bartolo Colon, Jon Garland, and Esteban Loaiza got the job done. The team does need a number five starter who on the 2003 roster, went at least 3-7 with a 6.11 era. Rein forcements for the rotation could well be Andy Pettite, Brian Anderson, Kirk Rueter, Livan Hernandez, Derek Lowe or even Sidney Ponson. The White Sox also have wholes within the 1b-ss infield, as well as catcher and outfield. They need to retain a healthy bullpen as well. At first base, Paul Konerko had a down year for someone who is owed at least 9 million dollars next year. With Kenny Williams rolling the dice, PK could even be gone by December, at the latest, January. He says some substancial changes may occur in the September 29, 2003 article for the tribune. Possible replacements if we get a pitcher, or upgrades would be Brad Fulmer, Scott Spezio or even David Ortiz. The Sox could pick up good pitching for him in my opinion. Now the middle infield needs to be upgraded subnificantly. Latest news is that the Sox may procede to pick up Miguel Tejada or even Kazuo Matsui. However, I’d like to see the White Sox make a run at Luis Castillo for second base.

What are ya, 10 years old? Kornikova is hot as a milf

Esteban Loaiza, 2003 CY Young Award winner!!! Roman I think you should leave Josh alone. Spelling should not matter on these boards, dude.

are u saying wright is better than loaiza?

Stiff is winning 67.00 to 55.00 with Favre, Harrison left to play for mayhem and Manning and Franks left to play for stiff. it will be tight

Agreed with him also. Estey deserves props.

How about a nice old :fthecubs

Seriously? Thats real cool buddy!

I agree. Welcome back BEGOOD, glad to see you, dude.

What free agents are role players? Anyone have a list of FA's?

Agreed.

"And just like that the young White Sox season was over. A sleeping Bear awoke."

Gload is a journeyman, he'll never mount to anything...

This lineup would hardly be sweet. A lineup with Valentin, Miles, Harris, and Olivo has far to many question marks and holes. What I mean is it would be sweet with the pitchers and/or new players that we receive for Konerko.

Who could fill the role?

How so? He's pretty cheap for only 450,000

What else is new..DP by Craptacular Crede

Base hit by Daubach

Yes from what I have heard Hawk say.

Could today's lineup possibly be one that of 2004? 1b-Daubach 2b-Miles ss-Valentin 3b-Crede c-Olivo lf-Everett cf-Harris rf-Ordonez dh-Lee Then we could let Skirt go and trade Konerko...that would be sweet!

Esteban has just become the first pitcher since Alex Fernandez in 1997 to strikeout 200 batters in a season. Way to go Esteban!!!
