My Favorite Sox Player of All-Time other than Frank Thomas is Keith Foulke. I was so upset to see Manuel lose faith in him and then the Sox Trade him away.

From Rotoworld: Jon Garland, who is scheduled to start Saturday, returned to the hotel during Friday's game due to the flu. He's questionable to face the Twins. If Garland can't go, the White Sox will use Mark Buerhle, who would be working on normal rest. I really hope Jon is healthy and ready to go. I want to see him have a good game and get himself rolling.

Down 2 with two outs and an 0-2 count in the 9th, Jose hit a pinch hit three run homer to beat the D'Backs. Way to go Jose! Best of Luck in L.A.

I just have this feeling that if the Sox can win this game, it will be everyones favorite guy Joe Crede that gets the job done. Come On Joe. Do it for the Doubters.

They only have him playing right now because Pokey Reese is hurt, and their backup Lopez broke his leg. Reese is expected back very soon, and then Wilson may take the Waiver Train again.

How can something be wrong with the offense already? Most of these guys haven't even got 6 ABs yet. No Need to panic yet.

Valdez is starting at SS tonight for the Mariners against the Twins.

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) By the way I thought Carmen DiFalco did a good job but there is definitely a big difference when you have two guys who played the game in the booth. Harrelson is good so far with Farmer, Farmer is not going on his goofy tangents like he does with Rooney. Guys who played the game have more unique insight vs. a guy like DiFalco, who is good but you could tell he couldn't get too deep. He doesn't have the same depth of knowledge of Harrelson or Farmer or DJ. DJ IMO is better than you guys give him credit for. Listen to him on a Game of the Week, he is excellent. Couldn't agree with you more. People around here act like DJ is the second coming of Joe Carter. DJ is very good at what he does.

How about Ben Davis for Joey Thurston?

We can turn this into a game. Assuming Ben Davis is Traded, To Whom, and For Whom. I could even donate a prize to the winner... sorry nice day outside, slow day in the office leads the mind to wonder.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 30, 2005 -> 11:30 AM) Who would backup Burke or Widger? I would bet Widger. Burke was already sent down, so my guess is that Widger would make the team as the backup. With all of this being said, I wouldn't be surprised to see Widger get traded instead of Davis.

My guess is whereve Davis is to get traded, it will only be for a lower level minor league prospect. Many teams could use Big Ben as a good backup catcher, but I don't think his price tag will be very high.

Bruce Levine is reporting Ben Davis is expected to be traded by the end of the day today.

QUOTE(TheBlackSox8 @ Mar 29, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) that sucks....i start a different shift in my job where i have to work at 2. The same time the sox are on during spring training.....This means I'm going to miss every game that is played between 1:30 and 6:30 spring training and regular season. TIVO is great for Spring Training Baseball. TIVO is great in general.

Score?

QUOTE(SoxDaFox005 @ Mar 25, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) Hey you don't have to believe me but then if it happens.. I'd like to say I told u so!!! I am not trying to be mean, but you have simply come out and bunched together things that are being said. Levine said weeks ago that the Brew Crew was interested in Wee Willie... and it is now being talked about Oakland looking to add to their pathetic offense. By just adding Crede and Contreras to the talk, you are stating that the Sox are trying to trade their four most disappointing players right now. Like I said, I am not trying to be mean, but I don't think your "thoughts" have much credibility.

In the Cincy Newspaper today, they talk like Freel may get the starting nod at second over D'Angelo Jimenez. No mention of him being possible trade bait.

I have a friend who is a big time Reds fan. He has told me the Reds have made it known that they will deal Griffey for just about anything... or Willy Mo Pena in the right deal. The Reds have too many OF, Not enough Pitching, and not enough in the infield. I have heard Griffey rumored to the Astros or DRays, and Willy Mo Pena to the Mets, Nationals, and DRays...but I haven't heard anything about a possibile trade with the Pale Hose.

You guys must stop worrying about our starters right now. You can't judge them on the result of spring training in Arizona. Please relax, and take a moment to enjoy the fact that baseball in here. Remember how poor Shingo looked in Spring Training last year.

Anyone heard why Frank has to go? Did they just draw names out of a hat or something? Other than him, and probably Schilling, the other guys are Steroids Poster Boys.

I am rooting for Joe Crede to have a good season more than any other player on this team. I hope he turns it around this year, and puts all of his doubters to bed.

How soon till there will be an updated roster on XBox Live?

If I am correct, Eddy doesn't have much say in the matter. I believe he is a restricted free agent.
