QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) For once I agree with ya.. I don't care if willie hit .400 in the minors.. that doesn't mean squat until you hit in the majors which Pods has done. Don't know if there has been a bigger fluke than podsednik's 2003 season in a while.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) Actually, you're not exactly correct. Frank's player option is $10 million. The White Sox team option is $12 million. Frank would have to choose to stay for $10 million. The White Sox could choose to give him $12 million or buyout his contract for $3.5 million, regardless of what Frank chooses. So if Frank declines his $10 million player option, the Sox would have to decide if he is worth $8.5 million ($12 million team option - $3.5 million buyout). http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1650383 I believe they can still buy him out after exercises his ten million dollar option. No?

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) Give Josh Smith back to IU and JR Smith and JamesOn Curry back to UNC and we can all be happy :-). I was just shocked how many people actually picked Amare over Josh Smith, I knew it wouldn't be close. Josh has a Lebron type vertical. Next year offer VC, Kobe, and Lebron 100K to join Josh Smith in the dunk contest, then hype the hell out of it to make the money back. Need to go back to the old ways were they have eight people in it. Lebron, smith, richardson ( jason), carter, kobe, francis, and any other two that i am forgetting at the moment. If they really wanted money ( like lebron wanted) i would say f*** you to them. Which is probally the reason it is not gonna happen.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Hits for power.. 2004 14 hr at home 4 hr on the road But the ballpark has nothing to do with his stats?????? What would you rahter have 1 year for 1mil.,is that better? Anything more than 2-3 million is way to much money for a DH Are you saying he does not hit for power? Never can tell with you. Just so you know he only played 74 games last year and if i recall correctly the last 19 games he played he was pretty hurt. In that time span his average declined from .298 to .271. In that time span he only hit two homeruns. Good chance if he did not get injured last year he was more than capable of leading the american league in homeruns. I am guessing it would have not been good enough if he only led the american league and not all of baseball though, correct? You are talking just plain ol' silly with the amount of money he deserves.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 20, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) Enough with the Cabrera talk, we all know we lost out on a great SS, its okay KW managed to cover his tracks Your right Frank was not on the DL, but he didn't put up any decent numbers since 00, to be payed the type of money. When you sit there and say Thomas should get paid 10mil for 06 for .260/35/80 ish .. Who is the Cub Fan then? That is Sosa-like..And Sosa is vastly overpaid. You do know that there is a 3.5 million dollar buy out right? Probally not. Anyway, the sox will not be be asking themselves if he is worth ten million dollars. The question they will be asking themselves is if he is worth 6.5 million dollars. Which the vast majority of baseball will tell you he is a bargain at that price. Considering he will put up better offensive numbers than 95% of baseball if not more when healthy.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) MVP's and batting titles, How does that Help the team? It doesn't . Why is everytime I have an actually reality of a player you guys have to bring up Caberea? IS that your only arguement? When was the last time Thomas did anything for this team? Granted he is a great player just not worth what he is getting paid. If we as a TEAM are only having 70 mil payroll, sorry I don't want to have 1/7 of it on the DL for 1/2 a year.. Which is what Frank has done the past 4 years. Simply the most retarded thing i have ever heard in my entire life. That mvp's and batting titles do not help a team. Wtf, are you on crack? By the way, who is this player you speak of on the sox making 1/7th of the payroll?

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 10:53 PM) Below his worth?? WTF, 6 million when all he has to do his come up to hit 3-4times a game, compared to Caberea who playes the feild.. ooo one other question for you.. How Many WS rings does Thomas have compared to Caberea? Thomas should get a 2 year 2mil deal with incentives..nothing more. Do you really think it is easier to hit while not playing the ''feild'' ? If you think that is the case you would be very mistaken as stats have proven many times.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 09:41 PM) It was creative...Nash with an off-the-head pass... And showing off the soccer skills. The passes are better than the dunks. Amare has the height and power but not the elevation. Josh Smith wasn't a surprise if you've seen his in-season dunks. It was sarcasm since it was when they did the off the head dunk.

That amare and nash dunk was weak.

QUOTE(Chisoxmatt @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 07:19 PM) I dont see why you would put dye so far down. He will probably have the second most RBI on the team. Seems to me like there is a reason he has hardly ever batted third in his career. That is not where he is best suited for.

QUOTE(YoungstownIndians @ Feb 19, 2005 -> 02:09 PM) To say Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner had Break Out years is lame. They had an average .300 average from A-MLB. Hanfer was a career .298 hitter in the minors.

Happy birthday.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) This game is freaking lame. Just like the all star game will be. Absolutely zero basketball being played here. Better dunks in this game than the dunk contest.

QUOTE(longshot7 @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) Dibs also pitched for the Sox in 95 when we were still recovering from the strike - and he sucked btw. That's still not an excuse tho. Welcome to soxtalk.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) he really has that i heart billy koch tattoed on him? Justin miller does. These tattoos are on their asses by the way.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 04:02 PM) If you have Ichiro tatted on your ass because you lost a bet, yes, your an idiot. I disagree. It is definitely not as bad as ''i billy koch''.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Rob Dibble is an idiot. And he has the tattoos to prove it. So if you have tattoos you are an idiot?

QUOTE(Spod=Ratings @ Feb 18, 2005 -> 03:24 PM) i posted this on monday ...but seriously it sucked....ATH sucks...and PTI Rules how bout some Dap! Knightni wins. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...09entry578609

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Feb 17, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) Yeah, I got that problem too. The server's probably just jammed. I signed up for a auto-draft just for fun. God, Yahoo's rankings are brutal, be prepared to do a lot of fixing and searching before any drafts. They will add more openings for the live drafts on the earlier dates. They have like two or three installments of them that they release. Don't really understand it but that is how it is. I actually like yahoo's rankings for one thing because the retarded people just make their team off of them which is an advantage to me.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 04:24 PM) Konerko > Morneau AJ > Mauer, at least right now For the price morneau>konerko. In as little as year or two money aside it will be morneau>konerko. I am sure not many will agree with me.

Free agents up until 2010 here. http://www.mlb4u.com/freeagent.html White sox contracts. http://www.mlb4u.com/chw.html

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) No, but Curry's contract will obviously be higher simply because teams see him as having a dominate offensive game. Personally I think Chandler and Curry are pretty good compliments. Chandler's defense> curry's offense.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 14, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) He doesn't deserve anything near a max contract though. Curry does?
