It's a shame that we have 3 young stud starters and 2 old washed up pieces of sh##

This is not going to be a fun game to watch.

I noticed the grey road uniforms don't have names on the back. Isn't that new?

They are playing in Washington now so we should start soon in Baltimore.

I had a poll but it didn't post. Mods can you delete this so I can re-post?

I know it's early but I just wanted to see what everyone had in mind. If we didn't sign any of them that woudl shave $41mil off the payroll.

Gavin was all over the place but so was Miner. It looked cold there so maybe that affected them both. Plus having to sit in the dugout through Miner's long innings probably didn't help much. He loses a gem and wins a nasty game. Go figure. Here is to all you Wise haters out there.

We won so stop whining. I'd rather have Wise go 0-4 and win then go 4-4 and we lose. Do you own his baseball card and that's why you are worried about his stats?

I'm optimistic. I predict 90 wins and a world series ring Here are my entire MLB predictions http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/standingsp...s.asp?userid=53

Here are my standings predictions: http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/standingsp...s.asp?UserID=53 White Sox hitting: http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/teamhittin...W&userid=53 White Sox pitching: http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/teampitchi...mp;franchid=CHW I have some tweaking to do on the stats as I realized some of them are high. We should have a soxtalk.com competition for predictoins on www.fan-exchange.com Any interest?

I'm sure he'll get ~400 abs

I would rather see a youngers in there than Colon.

Does anyone know where you can find a downloadable schedule for the mlb season? Something in excel or csv format.

I setup fan-exchange.com so fans could post their preseason standings, awards and stat predictions. I'm going to host a head to head competition with Soxtalk members for White Sox hitting and pitching predictions. Only the top 5 scores for hitting and top 5 for pitching counts (top 5 most accurage predictions). $25 mlb.com gift card to the top scorer. Let me know if you have any questions. Send me a message in Soxtalk with your email if you are interested and I'll email you an invite. striker

I've never heard of Kroeger but he had solid AAA numbers. I'm really liking Marquez. Hopefully he can continue his success.

You gotta go with the lefty

I'm rooting for Contreras on this one.

Gotta love Spring Training pics

Good Article

I created a site that allows you to post preseason predictions for standings, stats and awards. Check it out. www.fan-exchange.com here is more info: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69984

Good idea. Thanks. Was the usability easy?

First of all I got permissions from the admins to post this. I started work on this site last year but my baby girl was born three weeks into it so it got shelved til this year. I wanted a way to store our pre-season predictions then actually go back at the end of the year and measure our accuracy. I'm sure you are all like me and get hyped up for the season so this may be fun for some of you. The links below aren't necessarily my predictions, just something I entered for display purposes. 1. You can post your pre-season standings and champ predictions. http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/standingsp...s.asp?UserID=53 2. You can post predictions for award winners http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/prediction...s.asp?userid=53 3. You can post predictions for offensive stats http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/teamhittin...W&view=view 4. You can post predictions for pitching stats http://www.fan-exchange.com/mlb/teampitchi...mp;franchid=CHW I tried to make it like facebook to where it shows activity and you can comment on what users post. I get the historical data from baseball-databank.org. That's what I'll use at the end of the season to measure accuracy. If I get enough users I'll give away prizes for the top finishers. Help a fellow Sox fan out and sign up and post your predictions. Let me know what you think. Let me know if there is something you'd liked added or changed.

QUOTE (Sec101Row1 @ Jan 16, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) Is it me or does it look like the White Sox are the only large market team struggling with the economy ? Makes you wonder, is it: A) The millions to fund the new Glendale facility B) The legal fees and the $5 million dollar buyout of the 3 years left on the Tucson lease. ($5 million would get you a nice player this off season) The Yankees have spent alot of money but they also had alot coming off their payroll. Attendance may go down but they have alot of other revenues that help pay the bills: television, xm radio, mlb.com media.

If we pickup Lyon I'd have to think KW is doing it to add depth and possibly make Jenks expendable.
