Konerko has to be salivating at the possibility of having Thome in the lineup. Because of Thome he will see better pitches. Better pitches=More Home Runs. Come on Pauly.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 01:45 PM) Now that I've had a chance to really think about and digest this deal, I love it. I'm gonna miss Arow badly, but a healthy Thome, and I have no reason to believe he won't be healthy, unless something freakish happens, is a guaranteed bet to hit 40+ HR and knock in anywhere from 100-120 RBI. The OBP he's sported over the years is sick. And like many already knew, he's a wonderful guy to have in that clubhouse. Welcome to Chicago, Mr. Thome! I agree. At worst he could put up similiar numbers to Everett but if hes 100% healthy he will put up numbers equal to that of Konerko. Its a very low risk trade especially considering were stocked with young outfielders. Now it would be huge to resign Konerko. That would be a potential 80 HRs from the 3 & 4 slot. I think fans are going to get past losing Rowand pretty quickly.

With Rowand gone now we lose a Gold Glove caliber CF IMO. I think that Anderson can put compareble numbers offensively with Rowand and maybe better. My question is is he an everyday CF. I have not seen him enough in the field to know what kind of jumps he gets and what kind of arm he has.

From your description of Haigwood Chisoxfn he sounds a lot like Buerhle. Unknown lefty soft tosser who works fast and gets the job done. I hope we didnt just give up another Buerhle.

Can Thome still play first base? Is it possible if Konerko goes elsewhere Frank will be back as the DH with Thome playing first. I really want to see Frank end his career in a White Sox uni but if Konerko signs it will be the end of Frank. Like the Podsednik deal we will have to wait and see how it works out but I have faith in KW after all we did just win the World Series. BA has better upside than Rowand imo. I think he should be the starting CF next year.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) Ummmm something i dont think anyone has pointed out yet. But I DO believe that Thome is the most dangerous opposing team hitter who has ever played at the Cell. At least one of the most dangerous, I think he has hit the most Hr's there by an opposing hitter, i could be wrong, and im not going to look it up but I think its around 18 I think youre right and you know KW likes to get former Sox killers ie: A.J. and Jermaine. I would not be shocked at all if he was wearing a Sox uni next year.

Jurrasic Carl>Piazza. Thats all I have to say.

How about this trade idea. Crede for Figgins. Seems pretty equal to me. Power and great defense for speed and solid defense.

I know this is an old topic but I thought they were supposed to be putting green seats in and they were going to be ready for opening day 2006. Anybody know anything about this.

tatoos are the devil.

I stayed up for every bit of it and my heart was racing from about the 9th inning on. I only got about 2 hours of sleep so I am definitely dragging right now but it was well worth it. Thank God Blum hit that HR or they still might be playing and I still would have kept watching.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Oct 24, 2005 -> 12:12 PM) he's not going to make Vlad money -- he's not an MVP candidate. He doesn't hit over .300. I dont know hes getting pretty close to being able to get Vladdy money. He was the ALCS MVP and with a relatively weak free agent market for power hitting first basemen he will get a lot of dough waived at him by NY, Aneheim, Boston etc. Lets hope he wants to stay at somewhat of a "discount" price.

QUOTE(mmmmmbeeer @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) If that were indeed the offer, anyone want to explain why Philly wouldn't have taken it? I call bulls*** on the writer. Exactly. Philly would be idiotic if they turned down that trade. I dont believe it either.

I dont think there will be any middle road for IU. They will either lose the rest of their games or they will win at least 6. I sure hope its the latter. I also think that IU is one big upset away from this thing snowballing into a huge season. The tide is certainly changing in Bloomington.

Should have been done 2 starts ago.

That was the best overall game I have seen IU play ever. They just totally dominated UK from the beginning. 2 weeks to prepare for Wisky may be a good thing. We have owned them the past 2 times. Go Hoosiers.

As Hawk says: "Its time to cinch it up and hunker down."

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 9, 2005 -> 08:32 AM) Sounds awesome, not a steal. I think it is officialy recorded that Ozuna stole home.

Three words: McCarthy for Villone. The trade market was completely dead this year so unless you wanna overpay big time for a marginal player at best you should be happy we got Blum so cheap. How many people here would have been estatic if you told them we would have a 7 game lead in September at the beginning of the year.

1 Down 299 to go. Way to go Brandon.

Way to go BMac congrats on your first major league win. Great game from Dye as well.

Will both games be on TV?

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) So where is Kenny Williams these days? Anyone hear or see him lately on TV ? Is he on vacation? Kenny is flying under the radar like he usually is.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 9, 2005 -> 08:54 PM) Timo Perez, with RISP -- 25 ABs, .200/.276/.320. Timo Perez, with RISP and two outs -- 12 ABs, .250/.308/.333 Timo Perez, Men on, two outs -- 25 ABs, .200/.286/.280 Timo Perez, runners on-base -- 51 ABs, .255/.339/.392 http://sports.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/6568/situational Screw the statistics. you cant deny that hes had some big hits in late innings. Hes done it with the Sox and he did it in the playoffs for the Mets a few years back. Im telling you some of you may have to eat your words when playoff time comes around.

I just dont understand the hate for Timo. Yeah his batting average sucks but hes been awesome with runners in scoring position and as clutch as anybody. Just wait till he gets a big pinch hit in the playoffs like he did with the Mets a few years back and then you all can shut up about Timo.
