What scares me most is that KW might not offer him a contract at the end of year. Regardless of how he does this coming season I want the Big Hurt to retire in a White Sox Uniform.
My biggest nightmare is that he'll go to some other team for the last 2 or 3 years of his career and then join the Hall of Fame with that team and not ours...

Why doesn't Wills know that Colbert signed on with a japanese team?

I didn't realize that Colbert had inked a contract already... Do you have a link to verify this?

Wait, what in flying f***.
Weren't they just asking Burke about pitching in relief?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Sounded like that to me...
IMO there is plenty of room on this team for Burke and have three catchers.
Ohh no....Let's void the contract now...
This is exactly what this team needs. Someone who won't take ANY s*** from anybody.
If fact AJ ought to go down and kick his ass again for tattling.

Why does he speak English?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I couldn't tell. I was just playing the game and he pointed at me and slurred something.
I think Pauly is one of the classiest players in the game and as long as he can keep his numbers but I would love to keep him on this team. He isn't a bad defensive 1B really and I could see him maybe even pulling some DH work when Frank finally retires.
I thought Carl was Franks replacement...
Like it or not he's getting 4 Mil so we might as use him.
As for the middle infielder we have two options there. We can either sign a starting secondbasemen which would mean that Valdez has to be on the roster and Harris has to be either traded or sent to AAA. Option 2 would be signing a utility infielder/bench guy and letting Harris start or platoon with him.

That's about $2M a year, I thought that's what we wanted to pay him?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
He meant 21 mil over 3 but they had them down to 5 Mil per year...

Well I don't blame them. No way in heck does someone who has never proven a thing in the MLB deserve 5 mil per... (Which is what was said on the radio)

Now Jeckle can just complain about batting order instead of hating Ozzie for not playing AROW enough. Game chat should be fun this year. Jeckle are you doing the whitesoxcentral.com chat if Dylan puts it up again.

I'll be in their for sure...
AROW for the 2 hole!
