They might need El Duque. Hermanson may not even pitch in '06.

QUOTE(SoCalSouthSider59 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) We need a CUBS SUCK! emoticon......... :fthecubs Close?

If someone hasn't posted their picks yet form week 12, they can post them here and I will move them.

It hurt when Baines got traded the first time. It hurt when Ventura wasn't re-signed. It hurt when Black Jack was traded. It really hurt when Hernandez, Alvarez and Darwin got "White Flag"-ged to SF. It hurts when players leave via trades or free agency. But, that's just part of baseball today.

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) What it all comes down to is that you've gotta strike while the irons hot. The window of opportunity can close fast (ask the Cubs). This is the big power lefty that we wanted last year. The old saying is that prospects are just that...prospects. Wow. I'm hip deep in cliche's after reading that. Thanks, I guess.

I see them. Above WS Josh's

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 09:23 PM) AARON ROWAND! I HOPE TO SEE YOU BACK IN OUR UNI VERY SOON! Yep, you will. The WHite Sox World Series 2005 DVD is coming out Nov 29.

Willie Harris plays CF.

In today's major leagues, 35 is the new 31. With the training stuff guys do today, they can add 3 or 4 seasons onto their careers.

Alomar needs two checks.

QUOTE(ptatc @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 07:23 PM) I was thinking Rocco Baldelli. Another guy coming off an injury on a team with a surplus at the position. KW might be able to swing a good deal with a new GM in Tampa. Baldelli isn't that much better than Anderson, IMO.

It is a decent trade in the short term. What the Sox needed was someone who could drive in RISP; they had too many men LOB in '05. They had no problem getting guys on, but knocking them in was the real issue. I fail to see how moving the one guy who was successful at that helps them with that problem.

Ichiro.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 07:06 PM) Thank you. I need to make a new banner for the place.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 06:57 PM) I no longer have a favorite player on the Sox per se, because it seemed to be a kiss of death. Consider some of these favorite players I've had: 2000: Kelly Wunsch, Herbert Perry 2003: Damaso Marte, Esteban Loaiza, Magglio Ordonez 2004: Shingo Takatsu It just doesn't end up well for these guys. Anyway, I am of the opinion that Rowand's offensive production has already peaked. Was his defense excellent? Yes, though overrated. But is he a superstar out there? No. You forgot Osuna AND Poland.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 07:02 PM) Somebody, trade this guy. Yup. He's a staple at the site that's in his profile. :rolly

QUOTE(Hey_Look_Its_Chase_Utley! @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 06:17 PM) Phillies fan here. Congrats on the World Series victory, and getting on the classiest guys in baseball. I really think Thome was a great pickup for you guys, and is much better of where he can DH instead of playing 1B every day. What can you tell me about the prospects the Phillies reportedly received. I'd go with checking out the futuresox thread area. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showforum=18

New avy... YES!

Join the party!

That's what you should dress like. Shave your head except for a bit at the top, wear a mu-mu and take a pic as Zippy the Pinhead.
