Jordan4life_2007

The joke obviously isn't going over so well. Point is how the hell could anybody "trust" KW at this point? I can see having faith and hoping for the best. But trust?

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) I'm a 7. I think that the team will probably look much different by the time spring training gets here. I trust Kenny Williams. Did you also trust this man?

Damn, Wite. You were postin' like that the other night and you were drunk? Impressive. I need hooked on phonics when I'm drunk.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) This isn't fantasy baseball. Trading a player immediately after signing an extension would be bad business. It would definitely have an impact our ability to extend guys in the future. Trading a player a second time (Gio Gonzalez) after promising he wasn't going anywhere isn't good for business, either. Good god damn KW sucks. I'd rather have marty be the GM sometimes.

This was as anti-climatic as you could possibly get. NL CY will be MUCH more dramatic. I'm going with my male lover if I were gay - Clayton Kershaw.

The season is toast. But like I said during the summer, another year and no ring for LeBron.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 08:07 PM) Have you paid attention to what a closer costs now? There is zero chance of getting back a player that ends up being as good as Santos, and as cheap. That goes both ways. Yes, the price tag for closers is gross. Making Santos, possibly, a lot more attractive. Look, we're not talking Craig Kimbrel here. Santos is definitely not untouchable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) He's a free agent at the end of next year and there may be no draft pick compensation. Holding onto him would be absolutely nuts if you don't think you have the division this year. Same for Danks. It'd be murder-suicide to hold on to guys with your lone hope for competing in '12 being Dunn, Rios, Beckham and Peavy rebounding (staying healthy in Peavy's case).

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) Santos is a player who should still be around if the team were to do a quick style rebuild. No need to trade him. But he's a closer. That's all he'll ever be. If you can get a high-ceiling A ball type for him (preferably a position player), do it.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) Don't need a 36 year-old first baseman, a 31 year-old SS, or a 29 year-old closer if you're rebuilding. I don't believe it. I agree with Marty here.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) that is also the last time he was in selling mode. It's also a different landscape now. With teams such as the Rays flourishing despite a miniscule payroll, more and more organizations are treating cheap/controllable talent the way I treat my little Jim Beam bottles. They're priceless these days.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 07:15 PM) Why? These are the moves that Kenny has been best at. I guess when you have to go back to 2007 to find one of these moves it's going to make you skeptical. We shall soon see if that version of KW still exists.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 07:00 PM) This is going to be an exciting off-season, but the luster will probably shine off when we lose 90+ games next year. Disclaimer: I am FOR a full rebuild. Kenny stinks when he tries to make trades for the big names, but he is actually pretty good when he goes for projects and under the radar guys. We're a ridiculous 30-game stretch away of finishing below .500 4 times in 5 years. I can tolerate a few extra losses if ultimately you're building towards hopefully a sustained run of success.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 06:37 PM) Yes! I'd be so much more excited if it weren't KW saying this and Jerry the owner.

If this doesn't shame Gordon into remembering how to play baseball, nothing will. Two years ago he was one of the up and coming young stars in baseball. Now there's legitimate talk of him being bounced by super stud Edjuardo Escobar.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 15, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) I am appalled by all of you calling for a trade And I'm appalled by.... Nevermind. I'll get in trouble.

Thanks, Tex. Those early 90's teams will always be my favorite.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 09:20 AM) I've read writers that praise the hire. Same ones who didn't like the Ventura hiring. Same managing "experience." Don't get it. They just won the WS. Everybody is drinking the kool-aid right now.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 03:32 PM) To the contrary. I think he has a lot of value and would be able to net a very good pitching prospect in return. And that's why you trade CQ or Danks.

My name is Jordan4life, and I hate all Steelers fans not named palehose.

Beavis and Butthead is back. So it must be '93.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 08:48 AM) Unbelievably ridiculous and '93-'94 Thomas? There is just no basis for that ceiling. Nobody thinks that high of Viciedo. Me was not serious when I referenced the best player in White Sox history. It's apparent that you don't think much of Viciedo and want him traded. Just stick with that. Don't ask for comparisons because ultimately you're not going change your mind.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 13, 2011 -> 11:08 AM) I think this is the way to build winning teams not trading away, or letting the good ones walk, just becaue you don't win the world series every year. I have no desire to be involved in a mass rebuilding phase every year. I think that there are now many ways to build a winning team and trading away our better players for unproven so called young talent is at the bottom of the list at least if you want to remain competitive I agree with every syllable of this. not

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Nov 12, 2011 -> 05:01 PM) What is that ceiling? '93-'94 Frank Thomas
