He made just 11 errors this past season which is pretty impressive. But I wouldn't pay 9 mill for a .327 OBP and a .728 OPS. The .284 average is adequate but its just not that amazing. In my opinion Nomar (1 or 2 yr 7 mill per) >>>>> Renteria (4yr 36) I would assume this move would mean the Sox move Konerko or Lee. After that I'd like to see them get a left handed bat and a reliever for one of them and then sign a RF as well. I think that would really complete this team. Hell, what about the Sox sign Wright, sign Renteria or Nomar. Then deal Konerko to the Giants for Pyrzinski and a bullpen arm (one of their younger pitchers - Foppert, Williams, etc...maybe the Giants consider it). Sox now have filled catcher and shortstop, got a young pitcher, and have a little money left over to add a guy like Jermaine Dye or whomever. Then swap the young pitcher you got from the Giants for a reliever or something along those lines.

If Edgar produces like he did two years ago or somewhere near his 3 year splits I wouldn't have much complaint. Hits for average, plays plus defense, and has decent speed. However this year he wasn't all that grand, at least not 9 mill grand. Two years ago, .330/.394 with 100 RBI is pretty freaking good. I still say it could be a little smarter to look at Nomar. I wonder if the Sox are actually looking at him cause you could get him shorter term.

Man Cheat, I'd be so excited to get Davannon. He's the one high walk guy the Angels have and would be a great fit considering he can play any outfield position. I bet the Angels would think about a Cotts/Davannon swap. Sox maybe giving up a little something else.

I think Anaheim will sit slow and let the other teams get in and make offers and then try and snatch him cause I think thast where he wants to play. I also think Anaheim will sign Carl Pavano.

Wow I leave for like an hour, come back right in time for the good caller, lol. Seems interesting. Was that what the Sox are going to offer Renteria? As much as I think thats a lot of money for Edgar, he is good defensively and can fit into the 2 hole and be very productive. Him, Wright and a reliever would be quite nice. If payroll is at 75 mill they could make two of the moves and find a way to shift some payroll to add a reliever.

Ozzie Guillen is going to be on the show.

Agreed, shut up and talk about the Sox.

I'm listening right now. They are yapping about Detroit and they said they are opening up the phone lines. Also heard something about them projecting Garland to win 15. Damn it start talking, got to play basketball shortly.

Just want to say that Brooks Boyer is a class individual. Anyway the White Sox have always supported this site, SoxNet and especially FutureSox by helping out. While I know some people disagree with different things management does, I've heard of many other fan sites getting treated poorly by teams and the White Sox just don't do that. Brooks

Joe Borchard for Kenny with the Yanks picking up the tab would work for me and I bet the Yanks would consider it. They could move Borchard elsewhere in a package. Borchard isn't going to make it with the Sox, but another team will be at least intrigued with him, imo.

Sadly its going to take a death or a major fan backlash before it becomes any stricter, imo. The owners themselves don't have the power to beat the MLBPA in this regards.

Thats the most wussy policy ever.

No, for one significant reason. He didn't put up the numbers Crede did in the minors and hasn't shown the potential Crede has shown at the major league level. Borchard was overhyped, case closed. Ive long told everyone Rowand had a better arm (even though BOrch was supposed to have a studly arm). One thing you can't deny is Borchards amazing power. But its useless when you can't hit for average or use your power consistently. His power numbers the past couple years were horrific considering his power capabilities and the fact he's playing in an insane hitters park (Charlotte). Crede put up monster numbers in the minors and has had great stretches in the majors. The day I see Borchard have a monster season (he hasn't had one since his days back with the Barons and I'll admit those were numbers to be impressed by).

If so what exactly are the benefits of it. I've been reading a lot of stuff saying how Microsoft Op systems flat out suck (i know we've all heard it for a while) but that Linux is entirely more stable and it is just a superior system to that of Microsoft. I know Linux used to be free (at least I thought it was) so I was gonna ask if anyone knows much about it and whether its something I should consider. Microsoft Office just crashed my laptop which pissed my ass off. I was running an upgrade and got fatal errors galore until I was finally able to get through safemode and remove it.

I should say not many players I'd like to succeed more then Borch. Great guy, but for whatever reason baseball hasn't clicked for him in a long time (minus his one hot streak last season). He's a minor leaguer until he learns to shorten his swing and I don't know if that will ever happen. Luckily he has a good head on his shoulders and he'll succeed outside of baseball.

As much as I'm for the death penalty and I think a murder should be punished. The flaw is the HUGE legal costs in defending prisoners on death row. I've seen the stats often and its vastly more expensive to put someone to death on average then life in prison. I don't know if these stats are effected and whether they take account to the appeals that would take place when the prisoner is serving his life in prison (cause I"m sure he would still appeal anyway). My whole problem is I've never understood how the death penalty is more expensive, but at the same time you got to make sure that the system enables people to get fair trials and sometimes that just doesn't happen. Even if you think they are guilty, they are entitled to that.

Real, but it won't go up till next week.

Joe is done unless Escobar plays awful.

Last year Kochman wasn't untouchable and I doubt he is this year either. Now McPherson and Santana they aren't going anywhere. Kochman's gonna be a good one though.

Im sure he looked at you, shook his head, and thought, by my theory my dads cooler then me, so I better just give up the computer all together

AWFUL Stuff.

Ya, I'd say that was a very harsh response considering the anchors job is to tell the news. If it was an editorial I guess it would be different. Anyway, I think we all know where I stand. I see no reason for him to get the death penalty. Their is a major lack of evidence and I still think this whole thing will be re-tried and that he will walk unless new evidence is found. I'm sorry, as much as I think he did it, all they have is tons of circumstancial evidence and that doesn't cut it for me. Good thing I'm not a juror I guess.

Good to read. I like Crede, he's one of my favorite Sox, so I really hope he can turn things around and live up to his abilities cause he could really help this offense and we already know what he can do defensively.

Guys lets all calm down here. This is a site for all ages. Everyone here is a White Sox fan and its great to get perspectives from all different sides. Case closed...personal attacks end now. Any and all will be removed from this thread from this point forward.
