His .192 average makes me cringe. However, I wouldn't mind getting him for cheap, send him down to triple-a for consistent playing time to see if he can fix his swing.

Freddy is the stopper! Who would have thought! Inching slowly to .500. .

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) wow. some of these declarations are just so f***ing lame. Ozzie just needs to shut up and win some games. KW needs to take control of the team and the personel decisions! JR needs to stop this whole mess before July 1st. That is when I hope his 'other' team can shock the basketball world with signing of Lebron james. Soxtalk needs to keep entertaining me on a daily basis! This is the best website ever!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2010 -> 04:24 PM) Great, we have Spencer and Heidi running our team. LOL at 'The Hills' reference!! Somebody will leave at seasons end- im guessing KW will step down as GM. JR loves Ozzie and Hahn seems very capable of taking the position. KW accommodated Ozzie by getting his boy Pierre. He even wanted to give Ozzie a lefty bat with a high OBP and Ozzie said 'no'. KW's biggest mistake was letting Ozzie put together this years team. He shouldn't have let Ozzie go with the 'rotating DH'. KW needs to take the keys back from Ozzie and do whats best for the organization. I would much rather Ozzie get fired than see KW go. I think that go getter mentality for the past 10 years is exactly what this team needed in a GM- it got us one World Title and I truly believe KW has what it takes to bring us another.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Just speaking in hypothetical terms how exactly would you pull that off without weakening said rotation? another thing, last year we got Rios for nothing. A similar situation can occur with Fielder if we eat up the rest of the contract. So instead of Hudson and Danks with them eating some of the contract, it would be just Hudson with us taking ALL of it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) So why would he be a good fit for this Sox team that's looking to reload/rebuild next year? Why use up all of our expendable money on one player? Well if we went after him this year- it means we are in the hunt for the division and so far KW hasn't pulled off any deals that would indicate we are rebuilding. The bullpen is there and if the SP continues to pitch well- that Left hander power bat is just what the doctor ordered. Now if we keep losing- yeah I can definitley see a HUGE overhaul before the deadline and during the offseason. As of right now, the pulse is still beating. . its slow, but its still beating.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Just speaking in hypothetical terms how exactly would you pull that off without weakening said rotation? Well if we are paying all of the remaining contract perhaps with just giving up Hudson and Viciedo would suffice? Granite its likely not going to happen as Milwaukee is going to ask for a hole hell of a lot more and KW does not want to give up on this starting rotation. . well at least not yet. First things first- get to .500 and then we can reavaluate. There is 99 games remaining.

QUOTE (maki @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:12 PM) no, fielder is not coming to the white sox, even if we rattle off 10 in a row, which is a pipe dream along the lines of trading for fielder. your probably right. but a guy with a high OBP to plug in the 5 hole is just what the team needs. Fielder recently rejected a HUGE offer from Milwaukee so he would certaintly be a rental player for 1.5 years.

If we get to .500 and get even closer to Minny. . I wonder if KW will go hard after Fielder? I know it sounds outragous right now- but the SP has been promising.

All Alexie had to do was put it in play. Konerko's approach was not very patient like usual and Q- pops everything up! I wish AJ was up right there. Kudos to Gavin for pitching one hell of a ballgame! We at least won the series. The Twins seem to be coming back down to earth here. We need to win another 4 in a row before we face Strasburg.

What the hell!

Just Win!

Let the games begin! Goodbye AJ, Jenks and Konerko! It was a hell of a ride!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) This is like the third time I've had to say this in a week, so let me say it as clearly as I can. Dayan Viciedo is no longer a 3b. They have moved Dayan Viciedo to 1b. Dayan Viciedo is a 1b. He will not play 3b. A 3rd times a charm Balta? My bad man.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jun 6, 2010 -> 11:58 AM) Which would be a very nice offensive number coming from a 2nd baseman. It's certainly attainable for him. A bigger question on this team is.........Will Quentin ever regain or come close to his 2008 form? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. At the same time, it does us nothing by dealing him now. Give Q and Beckham an entire season to see if they can turn it around. Guys that are almost certain to leave are Konerko, AJ, Jenks and Putz. Guys that can stay or go include: Pierre, Peavy (only few teams can afford him), Buerhle (St. Louis), Kotsay- if someone needs a bench player- they got one! Andruw Jones- where did this guy go? Younger guys that KW may give up on: Teahen- this was just a bad move. He's bad defensively and isn't that great offensively. I'm tired of this project ALREADY. Either we keep him as a super sub or KW will deal him and eat half the contract. Floyd- is he only going through a terrible stretch of games or is his career taking a turn for the worst? KW is going to have to be patient with this one. Guys to bring up: There isn't many who have deserved to come up- but i would like to see Viciedo come up to play some 3b at some point in the year. Obviously if we deal AJ- that means Flowers will come up as well. Its time to let these guys get some MLB at bats.

Just blow it up! Shed as much salary as you can. Get back some prospects that can make a difference in the next few years.

The entire organization is in a sad state. Even the guys down in Charlotte are doing pretty bad. So even if we do deal the veterans (and we will), we have nobody to bring up other than maybe Viciedo for 3b. Time to re-stock the farm!

watching this game tonight pretty much sums up the season. WE ARE BAD!

Great win. Pena is impressing me big time lately!! We are slowly getting there. Just need to pick it up defensively and KW still needs to pick up a DH.

I know its early but Teahen doesn't really do it for me. IMO he has already reached his full potential. Giving him that contract extension before he even did anything in a Sox uniform was a mistake.

A White Sox sweep A Hawks sweep And a perfect series finale of LOST tonight would be pretty damn sweet!!!! GO WHITE SOX- keep the streak alive!!!!!!

I smelling a nice 7 game winning streak here. Its starting to look like Q and Beckham are starting to finally find it.

Just win!

Pierre- .253 Pierzynski- .212 Jones- .248 Konerko-.272 Kotsay- .174 Quentin- .195 Teahen- .221 Ramirez- .227 Beckham- .185 WTF- SERIOUSLY!!! The average of tonights team average is: .221. So what does Walker do for a living? What a joke!!!!!!!!! We should not have to put up with this crap anymore!!!!!

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 9, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) Let's not let Ozzie off the hook just because there are s***ty players on the roster... they are the s***ty players he wanted and before the season started he said something to the effect that he is the one accountable if it doesn't work out. He campaigned for the idea of a rotating DH with below-average hitters and hits these guys in the top half of the lineup... etc. Good point. KW was actively seeking a Left handed stick with a high OBP for the DH spot but Ozzie told him ''no i like this team the way it is."
