Biddle is a quality pitcher. Last season he was coming off of surgery and he should be able to get deeper into games. Still, he needs to throw more then just a curve or fastball. He needs to mix in a changeup and maybe develop a second fastball. He does have good stuff and a ton of heart so I'll be rooting for him.

Its about when Harry met Lloyd so I don't know if its going to make Drew Carey and Jeff Michaels look younger or if they will have other people playing them. I think thats whats its called, Dumb and Dumber, when Harry met Lloyd.

As long as Frank's getting in shape and is happy in Vegas, let him stay their till the season starts. Also, Foulke may not be going and they just haven't changed the list.

Of course you also have to remember they didn't want Ray here, they wanted to time to see where Jimenez and Harris were. Is that a reason to get too little for Ray, No, but it is a reason for dumping him. I don't know what was going on in the negotiations, only KW and Billy Beane know.

Geeze, things are getting a little out of hand here. Lets not let opinions turn into personal attacks. Anyway, I stick to my stance that KW isn't anywhere near as bad as everyone says he is. He isn't an hall of fame gm either, but the guy does a lot of things real good, and as long as he continues to learn (I've seen a lot of growth out of him) then I will be happy.

Was a real cool movie. That and Lord of the Rings kicked some serious ass. Oh ya, a New Dumb and Dumber is coming out, how great is that. Of course you can never out do the original, can you??? Back to the Future is all I can think of.

I think... My dad gave me this pretty cool book on all the baseball stadiums and I've started reading a bit of it this morning after he made us all omlettes.

The Old South Side Stadium burned to the ground. At that time it was home of the Negro League American Giants. It was home of the White Sox from 1900-1910, when the Sox moved to White Sox Stadium (Comiskey Park)

Ya, Merry Christmas Everyone....

At that time they didn't think their would be draft pick compensation.

Plus, last I looked, I thought Kieshnick got signed by someone else. Someone check me on that though. I know he was a minor league free agent.

Always starting stuff Apu.....Anyway, hope you and everyone else has a Merry Christmas and to those that don't celebrate Christmas, Happy Holidays. This is my favorite time of the year.

Hey, she's also an excellent looking gal.

Weaver wanted to go to college. While, Hill had Boras and some feared he'd hold out again when the Cubs picked him.

I wanted to deal Jwill for Miller or Baron Davis, mainly Baron Davis, but no one agreed with me. Don't ask me why they all thought Jwill was this gifted player, but Davis and Miller are proven, young, talented all star point guards.

Sometimes guys don't sign. You can look at any organization in baseball and it happens. Other times you draft guys hoping you can convince them to play, but if they would rather go to college you take that chance. I actually think the Sox spend more on their farm system than 99% of all the teams in the majors.

Just used 40 million as an example Cerb. I know, but 32 million is a joke as well. Here's to hoping Contreras is another Yoshii. :metal Or even better, IRABU

Chicago fans would hate Steinbrenner. So many people don't realize that the fans in New York city can't watch the Yankees unless they buy a satellite dish. it isn't offered on cable. Ya, don't most fans whine about Mr. Wirtz who does the same thing? Of course George spends a lot of money. The one thing I do like is he tries to win, he's just an idiot though and makes so many stupid moves, but when you have 150 mill payroll you can afford to make mistakes on about 50% of their signings. I'd pass on George, I'd want cuban. The guy treats his fans first class, and he treats his players first class.

How is spending money to hopefully contend foolish? Would JR be a fool if he dished out $40,000,000 to outbid the Yanks for Contreras' services? Everyone on this board would be thrilled that JR FINALLY spent some money..... hosts of others would post BS about how JR has finally committed himself to winning. And what if Contreras lives up to the hype? What if he is the second-coming of Pedro? Is Steinbrenner still the fool? Was signing him to that contract foolish then? Everyone on this board loves to trash the Yankees but not one, NOT ONE, wouldn't want Steinbrenner to own the White Sox. Did you see that coming? It would be foolish because they'd be tying all that money to a guy that hasn't proven a thing. If they were going to spend that time of money they would of been better served getting Millwood. Just cause you got money don't mean you blow it foolishly. I think that Godzilla signing was good and the Contreras one was good, but they could also blow up. The Yanks are about the only team that can afford a blow up, the Sox can't.

He'll start in Birmingham, most likely, although he didn't have much time in high A ball so they could start him their. He won't see AAA this year though. He may get a shot next year at the main club, but he won't see AAA till next year, most likely.

Ya, Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!

He's also a damn good pitcher.

All the prospects come from somewhere. At lower levels you don't know what to expect. To me, you really got to wait till AA, then you can figure things out much more closely.

Are you serious? Stupid Yanks, going around screwing up payrolls again.
