Welcome to the board man, you'll love it here. I just love not having to worry about the sCrUB trolls. It's great when you get to see so many passionate and knowledgeable fans of our White Sox!
For the Perez deal....I've seen a lot of things saying it's really close to being done. LA doesn't have many other choices.
The site looks great; I read one of the articles so far too. I think it looks awesome, and if you could get a player to do a journal. That would be pretty sweet.
I heard something about that from a friend. Colon must be pretty upset he didn't bite at these first offers now. It's kind of nice that we Colon could be back and for cheaper than we expected. I also heard around the same time the Angels actually did make another bid at Colon. I really think Colon could be back though. This is good news, if you ask me.
I won't mind at all. We know it'll only last for half a season at most, but it's not like our offense is incapable of hitting the ball. We know we still have the pop, and Ozzie will try to bring some small ball into the clubhouse.
That's what I really want. I think if we can have some kind of a rotation Buerhle, Colon/Milwood, Loaiza, Garland, Perez......I'd be a pretty happy camper.
I totally agree. KW has done a very good job in the GM chair. We know KW does deals etc. in a different manner. We really had no idea that we were getting Colon last year. KW definitely has something up his sleeve. We'll just have to wait and see what it is.
Isn't the Twins' owner a billionare? We thought we had it bad w/ JR. Their owner could buy Steinbrenner and then some, yet he ends up only spending 1/100000000 of his money on the Twins. But hey, this definitely helps the Chisox chances.
I like Mags, and I wish we could keep him. Though I know we don't have the money, but if that's even close to what we're looking to do this offseason. I'll be quite okay with that. I like that KW is bolstering the pitching on this club. KW has done a pretty good job in the GM chair with the little he has to work with.
Perez has had some very good seasons. Last year wasn't his greatest, but it still wasn't bad if you look at his WHIP and K's to BB's ratio......I really don't think Ritchie ever had anything positive going for him.
