Sox GM Meetings
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2009 -> 04:07 PM) How exactly does that help? Are there a lot of guys out there who are good LFs but terrible RF's? Or are people just saying RF as a stand-in for "corner outfielder with a decent bat and hopefully decent glove" I have no idea what your talking or comming from with this. Quentin was once a stud RF for Stanford and through the minors comming up with Zona not to mention it's his natural position and some FA guys or guys to be traded only can play LF. I doubt any org. would put Bay, Crawford, Holliday, Cust, Burrell etc.. in RF when a couple of them listed are very good defensively in LF. All I'm saying is KW is definitely keeping his options open. There's always Rios as well though KW did say he's gonna be in CF. I would honestly prefer Q to be at DH myself though.

All this talk about a RF, where KW could just as easily get a LF and move Quentin to RF. There is always that option as well.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 12:41 AM) There's a tidbit on hockey buzz that Bolland might need surgery on his back. I'm sure the Hawks brass won't say anything as of yet though. Annnnnnd it's official. Bolland to have back surgery Very disheartening to hear anyone, athlete or not, having back issues (surgery at that) at the ripe old age of 23.

What Did You Want To Be When You Grew Up?
QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) frank thomas. that swing contributed to my little league downfall. Ya I was the same, cept I wanted to be like Ken Griffey Jr. I played CF, batted lefty and had the same stance till high school because of him. I did go through the whole Astronaut stage when I was a tike as well. And who didn't want to be like Jordan also?

Um.. ya I gotta say (and state the obvious) they are a way different team when Toews (and even Eager) is on the ice.

I gotta say.. it's looking more and more like a talk up. in my eyes, though I could be wrong. And KW.. Adrian, Crawford etc.. are all nice for trades.. but Nick Johnson is sitting there free in FA and he's a LH OBP stick. Please sign him.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 04:10 PM) You can forget that dream rotation. Acquiring Halladay would cost at least one of Floyd or Danks. Well the sox could pull it off without giving up those two, but it would probably cost Beckham which would be a terrible idea.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 03:57 PM) I'd rather go after Holliday (he's a free agent, right? maybe I am wrong) than Halladay. Bora$. That's even less unlikely. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 03:48 PM) I would. I'd have a huge problem with that. You also can't ignore the fact that Halladay is not a free agent, you'd have to relinquish a whole hell of a lot of talent in order to acquire him. Win your W.S. first, deal with the other crap later.

QUOTE (longshot7 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) It would be the best rotation of all time but there would be no one to hit the ball. Halladay-Peavy-Buehrle-Floyd-Danks.. Jesus.. I don't care if our offense blew chunks and we played the rookies Danks2 and Flowers everyday (or even Lillibridge everyday), we are not being touched. KW is always thinking big regardless if it happens. Even with talks about him, Hudson is as good as gone though I doubt we have enough or even really made a run for it.

Who knows.. maybe something can happen or be a jump start to something before the December meetings. Still interesting none-the-less. General managers' meetings give Chicago White Sox opportunity to deal Some interesting tidbits.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 05:50 PM) Chris Johnson is better than your team's running back. Unless there's some Vikings fans here.. your probably right. Chris Johnson is a freak of a talent.- Official 2009-2010 NBA Thread

Thank god there's still the Bulls and even the Blackhawks season(s) to maintain my sanity till sox report to camp.- Sox acquire Mark Teahen, $$$ for Getz/Fields
QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 11:53 AM) I think he has had very little impact on the talent level improving. Until the Sox start calling up guys with a little consistency that have a clue as to what they are doing, I'm holding out buying something just because Buddy said its so. I (or anyone else) can say the same thing about your boy Greg Walker as in he has had little impact on the sox getting over mediocre numbers offensively since his tenure. That doesn't mean I (or anyone else) is right about it, or is looking into it with the glass half full.- Official 2009-2010 NFL Thread
The Refs have been awful today. No doubt that doesn't change anything about this game, but they have been terrible.- Official 2009-2010 NFL Thread
I find it utterly hilarious that your covering Fitz one on one. I love Peanut, he's a fine corner, but asking him to cover one of (IMO he is though) the best WR in the game is utterly stupid. He's basically beating us alone. It's like saying let's not pitch to Ludwick or Ankiel and just pitch to Pujols and see if he can still be great and beat us (I excluded Holliday cuz Boldin is injured)- Sox acquire Mark Teahen, $$$ for Getz/Fields
QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 02:14 AM) Why is it the worst thing I've ever said. I said Teahen was average. You are gonna argue he's better than average? He has a lot to prove before you can call Mark above average don't you agree?? I think you read his post wrong.- Sox acquire Mark Teahen, $$$ for Getz/Fields
QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 8, 2009 -> 01:05 AM) My gosh, Bolt. If you lived in Kansas City you'd be mocked for your comments on Mark. He is considered kind of a joke around here. Not a good fielder; strikes out a ton. The excuse you could make (which would be an excuse) is he got moved around too much, no good players around him blah blah blah. We can hope, but this is not like we've acquired anybody good. It was basically us trading average to below average talent to the Royals for average to below average talent. Both sides hoping lightning will strike. To Teahen's credit, he is regarded as a guy who plays hard and when hurt and is good with media and teammates. Wow.. what an outstanding post.- Alphabetical Conversation Thread
You do realize Miller, Jerome James, Salmons, Tim Thomas (thank god) and Tyrus all come off the books right Jeremy? Not even counting Gray, Hunter and Pargo's 3.4 mil combined. The Bulls could actually sign 2 big time FA names (though more than likely only one would get his money) If there's one guy they should move though that will definitely help is Kirk Hinrich though I'm glad Kirk's contract actually decreases 500K next year to 9 mil I believe. - 2010 MLB Catch-All Thread
