If El DUque isn't ready I got no problem with this. I'm gonna ask around real quick.

I'd much rather see Baj promoted than Adkins. Adkins has been horrid in Charlotte.

Man, I really like the Academy Is.

If the PS3 is 500 bucks, no one will buy it. Sony won't be that stupid. If they price it over 299 I think they will have a hard time. I just think thats about the cap on consoles...any more and your pricing yourself out of a huge market. Hell if I were with Microsoft I'd be in heaven if Sony was stupid enough to price there console 200 bucks higher than the Xbox. Microsoft would kill Sony in sales and will have taken over the console market share.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ May 20, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) You shoulda watched WGN because Hawk and DJ were doing the announcing. It was a nice change. I think the Sox crew is doing both games on WGN. Its soemthing like they rotate and the Cubs crew gets like this entire week off. Last year I think Hawk/DJ got off one of the series if not both.

Right now Brandon still needs more time in Charlotte. However, come August or September I woudln't be opposed to it. I think by that time it could be a good thing to carry an extra pitcher (plus rosters expand in September) and you can get his feet wet and at the same time I think he'll be ready to contribute. Otherwise he shouldn't come up unless there is an injury.

Freddy was agressive today and was ahead of the count almost every at bat. It was a thing of beauty.
-
I loved the Paulie chants that went on in the AB where he had the RBI single. Hell I heard more Sox chants than Cub chants today. It pumped me up.

Tarantino is way overrated in my book. Same with Spike Lee.

Well, I guarantee one thing, I'll call him a lefty again at one point or another. For whatever reason I've always thought he was a lefty and I'm one of those people who has a hell of a time changing things once I get something in my mind. Kind of like mispronouncing a name. Cerb could tell stories of how much trouble I had pronouncing Schnurstein correctly But ya, Harrel could of went a lot earlier and just seems to be one of those guys that could turn into a gem in the middle rounds.
-
Ya, Alex, that was very very well written. And you know it kills me to tell you that Awesome job
-
Great Stuff
-
Harrel is one of those guys to watch. He was a lefty that has quite a bit of upside and was an exceptional pick by this organization.

Chavez is in the first year of a six-year, $66 million deal. " Well thats that. I edited the subtitle of the topic and removed Rosenthal's name.

PUt it this way. How would you guys like a gold glove 3rd baseman, 27 year old, LHB, 35 HR's, 115 RBI, .270 AVG, 360 OBP???? Thats the type of numbers Chavez could even average over the remainder of his contract. I'm a huge Crede fan but the Sox are in to win this now and Chavez makes this team that much better. Now if they deal Bmac I think they are dealing someone that will pitch later this year so I wouldn't ask for him and maybe Beane decides he wants hitting cause he has enough power pitching prospects for the time being. BY hitting I mean a better hitter (Anderson...Beane usually wants ML ready guys or near ML ready guys) and a prospect along the lines of Tracey or Gio, etc and than maybe even another guy (hell that guy could be Josh Fields). I'm saying one thing, your getting a proven ML stud and he's signed long term entering his prime...that meets all the conditions to deal anyone in the system, imo. Plus he's playing at one of what I call a "premium position".
-
1st off I just want to say one thing. Crede is gonna be stuck with arbitration for another few years I think. I could be wrong though cause I know he's been up here for a while. And on a sidenote, are you freaking nuts...hell ya I make this deal. You get a power handed left handed bat and one of the few 3rd baseman that is actually better defensively than Crede. He'd also be moving from a pitchers haven to a hitters park and I realize that hasn't exactly worked out for Jermaine Dye thus far, but Chavez is one heck of a ballplayer who is signed to what I would call a relatively affordable deal. The key here is the Sox would probably be picking up salary this year, but they would be losing some contracts next year (PK/Thomas maybe) which would allow them to do this. The only thing I'd make damn sure of is that he didn't have some sort of lingering injury. I know something happened to him last year (Marte broke his wrist I think) but assuming he's fine I'd pull the deal, I'd even think long and hard about it if Bmac was in it. However I think with the contract the Sox would be taking, you would be able to make the deal without Bmac. But not trading Anderson would be another story, imo. SO in short, DO IT KENNY. Hell, Crede, Anderson, Bmac for Chavez I'd consider. The Sox would have Chavez for the next 5 years if they wanted and he's just entering his prime. Last year he hit 29 HR's in just 125 games and had a .397 OBP. If the Sox could have him and AJP's LHB in the lineup all year that would give the Sox a way more complete ballclub.

Are you still having that problem? IF so I may have a quick solution for you.

They won't waste an option on Anderson to have him come up solely to pinch hit and go down. You could see Norton or someone like that up though. Personally I don't think they'll make any move unless they move Walker back down.

QUOTE(Yoda @ May 18, 2005 -> 02:43 PM) I’m a big Star Wars fan (I bet you didn’t know that!) but sadly I will not be able to see it tonight nor tomorrow. I got tickets for this Saturday afternoon. My local theater told me they were sold out on Thursday and Friday so.... Lol, we were lucky. It was playing in 5 theatres at my local theatre so we were able to just pick up tix like half an hour ago. On a sidenote, first time I ever used fandango. We went to the theatre and it said it was sold out but on Fandango there were tickets.

Brilliant game and it was awesome seeing Paulie and Dye hit the ball hard. And AJ, Buehrle, Cotts and Politte!!!
-
Ya, Julio him both converted. I gotta say one thing, Paulino must of been the only 1st baseman that could throw with that kind of gas. I'd have loved to see him turn the DP over at 1st, lol.

O'DOYLE Rules Happy Birthday Mike!!!!

QUOTE(BuehrleTheAce @ May 17, 2005 -> 12:29 PM) Chisoxfn: Nice read. Especially for us "out-of-towners" who can't get the grit and gristle of what happens behind the White Sox scenes, articles like this help us to know more about the organization as a whole, from the minor league affiliates to the big league club. Let me ask you something though, and I really hope you don't take offense to this because my intention is only to try to make it even better than it already is. Do you have an editor or proofreader? If not, I'd like to offer to do the editing and/or proofreading for your articles. LMK what you think. Ya that would be fantastic. The group of us edits each other, but editing my work can sometimes be tough cause I'm not exactly brilliant with my choice of words, lol. Would you like me to email you the articles? I have one right now I could shoot your way. I know it still needs some touch ups in terms of me adding content and filtering it though.
