Think of how rare it is to hear these two words together. I think thats why he's the Sox best prospect.

U make that graphic? Its really cool

Koch was overworked for a long time and I think thats the cause of this drop in velocity, etc. Mechanically he's looked fine to me and I've noticed him keeping the ball down more, but anytime he leaves it up they make him pay by hammering it. I got a lot of confidence in Billy...and yep I'm one of the few, but I got a tendency to like a guy that most people don't.

Vazquez will be claimed on waivers. For those who have said el duque has been average... El duque has not threown a ball yet. People, El duque is over 40. He's lied about his age. I know a player who played onthe Pr National team and started playing when he was 20 and el duque was older and the person is 38 right now I don't disagree with you. See, I don't think its Livan because Kenny says the player would be claimed if placed on waivers and we all know that Livan would go right through waivers. That tells me it was Garcia (Never heard Kenny was too hot after him, but he could of been; Problem is the Mariners would of wanted a major league hitter in return and I don't see Williams moving one of our offensive starters). Then there was Escobar and I think that was a possibility and the only other one was Vazquez. I'd bet with pretty good confidence that it was either Escobar or Javier and I think we'll see him go after them again this offseason and if either get through waivers we'll see him try and maybe just nab him.

JR has these groups mainly to make his living now (From what I understand, I could be wrong) so he can't really take a huge loss every year. I think if Kenny does what I think he's done and will continue to do, we'll see the Sox acting like a more large market team in no time. But by large market I'm not saying an over 100 mill salary. I think things can be done without going that high in payroll and I can only hope that 100 mill becomes a soft cap by the next bargaining agreement with 45 mill the low end.

And the Sox will get that too when Koch eventually leaves. Also I'm not sure if Oak offers Foulke arbitration cause most likely he'd get a raise from the 6 mill he was already paying and I got a feeling Oaklands ownership is gonna want to cut payroll since their attendance hasn't been too hot this year. Whose to say Foulke is gonna get 6.5 or 7 mill in a multi year deal? Right now I think he'd be really lucky to get that on the open market, but if he is offered arb I think he gets 7 mill. It all depends on ownership if you ask me, but I see Foulke getting 5 mill a year for about 3 years.

I'm guessing it was Vazquez. I think we'll see Williams try to land this pitcher via waivers if he gets the chance or wait until the offseason and try again. I got a hunch Williams plans to add payroll next year and I think everyone knows what I'm hinting at by bringing this up

Well when Koch is back at 100% next year and Cotts is pitching well as a 5th starter I think things will be looking real good, especially considering Foulke will be getting a big money free agent contract from someone not named the Oakland A's.

If thats who I think it is that wrote that article, I got to say awesome work

Lets put it this way. JR has always said he'd spend the money on the Sox if the fans were showing up to the park. So far the fans have never put the pressure on JR (He spent his money back in the days) so why not put the pressure on him to increase the payroll next season. I really think now is a great opportunity for this Sox team. Unfortunately if they fall short (Meaning they don't make the playoffs) then it will mean that the Sox will probably lose a lot of players and the fans would once again complain (Well some of them at least). I think KW has put the team in place, now JM and the players have to get things done. I got confidence as long as they don't get greedy (By swinging for the homer) and as long as the team stays healthy. Come on Sox

He has another year on his contract with the Angels and the Angels will be paying him around 15.5 million over the next two seasons. All the White Sox have to do is pay the league minimum over the next two years. Appier was injured with the Angels so I don't think he'd be able to make an immediate impact and I don't think he is a better pitcher then Danny Wright. Both have control problems but Wright has far superior stuff when compared with Kevin Appier at this stage in his career. I'd pass on him unless Wright proves horrid in the next two starts and I think Wright will surprise some of you.

I'll be watching his swing. I plan to ask him how he's feeling. I get to learn what exactly press passes do when I'm there

I know one thing...it wouldn't of been worth it for Ponson and thats coming from one of his biggest fans.

Hell ya Joey B. Can't wait to see ya play in a few days

Damn they just replayed the run that KC got their 3rd run on, it was a foul ball. We should have never gone to extra innings. And ESPN just said we won 7-5 Ya, I just saw that. Still, you'd have to think they would of got the run home.

YESSS

Come on Sox...lets let this be like that 2000 road trip

YES....SWEEP ESPN has it on right now

I'd say Ginter comes in before Koch cause the Sox will want Koch ready for tomorrow.

Damn...just got back from dinner. I left in the 8th and just read up with everything I missed. s***, I never knew I could get excited just reading updates Now come on Show, close this baby out and lets take some positive momentum with us for the dreaded west coast swing.

Machado did solid with the Cubs last year. Also great point on PK abo

Well, that's good... WOOHOO, PAULY!!! oh, sorry... It's obvious, if someone offered me run my own contest board and me take all the credit for it I would jump all over that offer I know I did Lol...

Preach On

For your guys sake, I think using the ESPN system for college would be way easier. Just pick from the top 25 or something.

Alright...sweet to see the Sox winning and thanks for the update guys Hope Elo buckles down and the offense gets rolling for a few more.
