I know, look at all the teams that we're beating down the door to sign Ray as a free agent. yup and he still sign a 3 yr a 20.5 mil contract.

does that mean that is we trade mark b, garland, rauch and even honel is fine with you?

I know, look at all the teams that we're beating down the door to sign Ray as a free agent. and we are not even going to get a comp pick that oak is going to get. yup we sure saved a lot by trading ray. oh did i forget to mention we have a superstar in the making in jon adkins. wow, i can hardly wait to see him make the majors as he tore up the minors last yr. yup we sure got the best in that deal.

anybody else, let the patient rule the house.

and if on the other hand he helps brings us a ring. if we have to overpay, he better not overpay toooooo much. lets not be taken as we were in the ray durham trade.

Thats a great comment, but George isn't losing money on the Yankees. If you're implying that JR is losing money on the White Sox, you are mistaken. That cheap f*** wouldn't have anything to do with this team and he'd maybe sell it to someone who cared if he was losing cent one on this team. Both him and KW can go f*** themselves. "Can't spend a dollar if all you have is fifty cents....." :fyou ASSHOLES!!!!! i am more than sure that the sox is not losing money, they may not be raking it in, but he is making money. spending money is not like the yanks are doing, spending crazy. but spend some on some fa's that can get us over the top or use it to acquire a player thru a trade and get his salary.

I was lucky, when I played my coaches didn't even let me throw a curve ball and I even think it was a league rule until you were like 15. It didn't stop me from blowing my arm, but that happened because of overuse, I always felt I could throw and I threw way too much, considering I basically played year around in many leagues. Still, once I got to the higher leagues where you would travel and such, I'd run probably 5 miles every other day. I'm trying to get back into that groove now, just for the sake of staying in real good shape. i remember a scout once said that they feared a pitcher coming out of college, b/c the coaches had a tendency to overuse the pitchers. still that has nothing to do with the mechniacs.

the feelings of appreciations goes without saying for the work that he does. i esp like the new board.

that is all too true. the youths of today want to learn at an earlier age, how to throw some of the more difficult pitches. however that is the coaches doing, still the players are bigger and stronger as many in the sports world have said.

Dang...one thing for sure is, we know kids are throwing harder and its got to be a big reason why kids are throwing their arms out more and more often. Arms just aren't meant to throw the ball the way we do it, they are meant to throw it softball style or at least thats what I remember hearing a year or two ago when they were talking about all the extra surgeries. Of course I still think most of the injuries are because of the radar gun (Forces many to overthrow or forget about mechanics so they can do all they can to cheat and throw harder) and the fact that pitchers now don't run anywhere near what pitchers in the past used to. Man, pitchers in the olden days would run till their legs fell off, and would then run some more. I'd like to see the Sox step out and go back to that old school mentality and run the heck out of their pitchers. It ain't going to hurt their arms and at worse we'd get to see our players come back at Soxfest more often as they'd be living a lot longer. thing is today players are not like they were in yesteryears. today they are bigger, stronger, and faster. its a proven fact. we can't compare them on the same standards.

142 pitchers 90 mph or better in Jupiter Final total and new record! were do we draft in the upcoming draft? great site mac.

something could be said about arz not winnimg this yr

and there is another kid name pedro lopez who plays 2b who with andy playing ss and brice playing 1b, makes up our infield for the future according to the sox scouts report on BA. Yeah, Lopez looks good. Schnurstein was a 3B out of Basic HS, and set the AZL League recrod for doubles, with I believe 28. Haigwood is a HS pitcher who was 73-1 for his HS career, and knows how to pitch. Schnurstein is the 3rd base prospect that many talked about quite a bit after his real good season in Rookie Ball. As Cerb said thats where most of the Sox talent is and those guys are their because of KW. He's doing a real good job keeping the farm system strong. we haven't had a strong "if" that was considered a true prospects in a long time, if any. now we are set for what, in another 2 yrs or so. the future looks good. question is, with brice maybe being a future 1b of the future, what is there to do with paulie? we still need a cf now and a number 2 pit. but the prospect list looks really good, but how do those rank up with other teams prospects.

Whether he is signed or not is not important. We know he's gone first shot he gets. this is the time for kw to pull some of his magic and TRY to get us something in return for him. KW has magic? I guess if just about everything you touch turning to s*** (Wells, Ritchie, K-layton, etc.) is magic then KW is f***ing David Copperfield oh that is a classic. but that was for those who thinks that kw is better than what he really is. in other words, being ironic.

that is funny but i have to go with paulie as the leader and move magglio to paulie place.

and if you see the trend, it goes to prove that there may be indeed a case for collusion again. noone can't tell me that we, the sox is not in a need for 1 or 2 players and yet jr and company has pursued noone.

this was the same thing that was said about kip wells.

ahhhh so much the better to trade em.

You can't complain though, both left the Sox never to do a thing. Ya, Doublem, we have him till after the 2006 season. Also, I don't see why everyone is blaming KW, Buerhle just doesn't want a deal. He's offering a very fair contract, one that would pay more then Sabathia and I think Zito or Mulder, two pitchers that are just as good as Buerhle, if not better. it goes back to last yr and the treatment he got from kw or so that is how i interpretted the story. but if its a money issue, jr pulls the string here unless he gets his advice on money matter from kw.

they say our future 2 b with tools to back him up. with the other guy, they said a power hitting 1b or of if he can improve on his fielding.

The problem is, its going to be hard to prove. Then again, no one is signing for much anything big. Of course, some teams have been throwing money all over the place like the Mets, Yanks, Phillies and even Red Sox. I don't think they will win, but htey are talking collusion. Still, if Collusion was going on you'd bet that JR is involved in it. ref to jr, it goes to prove why no activity on the fa front. that is my point

and jc, fizer player great. any news on jc defense tonight?

In regards to news, you're probably right. More than anything, it disgusts me to watch ESPN or read ESPN.com regarding their MLB coverage. The way it seems, when they report on MLB, it's usually the same damn teams (Yankees, Red Sox, Mets, Braves, Dodgers, Phillies, Cubs), & I wish they would throw the White Sox a bone every now and then. It's biased coverage, IMO. it seems everybody is giving the bone to kw.......... ooops sorry wrong topic.
