QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 5, 2008 -> 05:33 AM) Or he'll start in RF, in fact if I had to put money on it I'd say Dye would be the one to go. Ugh, as you know, Swisher's value goes down the toilet once he moves to RF or 1B. I've still yet to hear Dye's name actually rumored in trade possibilities.

KW flat out states that Swisher won't play CF next season. Please KW, don't trade for Luis Castillo or Julio Lugo. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,7236960.story

QUOTE (WHITESOXRANDY @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) Luis Castillo and Willy Taveras. Signature moves, not job costing moves

QUOTE (flavum @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 05:21 PM) I think Dye for Figgins is a possibility. That would be just a terrible, terrible trade

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Daniel Murphy and one of their top prospects could be a possible option. I don't want Luis Castillo though. Castillo is so scary...just say no Kenny!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 05:44 AM) Unlike the last couple years, I'm not sure there's anything I really want from the Mets right now. agreed

Let the Mets rumors begin. Please don't trade for Heilman! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,1769835.story

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) No juicers please. I guess we can't go after Brian Roberts then...Glaus' extra base numbers were fantastic last season considering his slow start and suckiness vs the Cubs.

Rolen is on his last legs. His shoulder is extremely weak now. That would be a terrible trade. A deal of Javy for Glaus would make a lot more sense.

I have no idea what the blurb at the end of this article means. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/baseb...0,5597399.story

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 2, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) Unreal. Not one run play for Forte. That 5.1 average a carry isn't good enough. Just a horribly coached game.

It's Rexy time!!!!!!

Babich needs to get fired at halftime! Does Urlacher even play anymore?

One of the craziest endings ever. Ridiculous games today.

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 11:15 PM) Screw you Marcus Sims. Why couldn't you be like your brother and play LB like everyone told you to. That was a crazy game...only reason FSU was in it was Nesbitt's injury. FSU had no prayer of stopping the triple option.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 1, 2008 -> 10:49 PM) Stupid choking ND... That game seemed like it would never end, as Weis and Wanny proved just how awful they are as coaches.

Two ridiculous endings to the Minnesota/NW and Michigan/Purdue games.

So the wife made me take her to a movie tonight. For some reason, she picked "Changeling". I can confidently state it's the most pointless movie I've ever seen. Just a total waste of 2 1/2 hours. Honestly, I would have been more entertained if I saw HSM3.

As someone who's rooting for Obama, how concerned should I be that McCain is leading in the Zogby one day poll?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Is Taveras really what this team needs? He had 18 XBH in 133 games in 2008. Without watching too many Rockie games(thank God), Taveras found a way on 1st, stole 2nd, and hopefully was driven in. Unless this lineup gets a drastic make over( I don't see it), their strong suit isn't situational hitting. Absolutely not...I could care less about adding speed. I want to add talented players at 2b, 3b, and CF. Like you said, with situational hitting not being a strong suit, I'd rather just add to the mashers we already have. Unfortunately, I'm about 99% sure that our lack of speed is the scapegoat in the minds of KW and Ozzie. It's going to be frustrating when we overpay for a speed guy (just like trading C. Lee for Pods).

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) That was basically my thoughts. Owens would probably put up Taveras-like numbers, and we already have him, and don't have to give anything up to get him. Taveras is a significantly better player than Owens. He has a great arm in CF, and he knows how to hit with his speed a lot better than Owens does. Taveras gets a crazy amount of infield hits...and Owens has never proven crap in the majors.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) With Hardy and Lexi in the middle infield you would have 40+ hr's and probably very good RBI numbers and also good defense. We still need to find a lead off man however and your only option is to find one in CF. If they were to get Hardy for SS, I would guarantee the Sox traded for Tavares in CF.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) Would Seattle take Javy for Beltre straight up? Or would we have to include somebody like Broadway in the deal? However, I'd love to get Hardy, but again, would they give us JJ for Javy straight up? Seattle would want someone younger than Javy, as they're looking to rebuild. Broadway has ZERO trade value.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 31, 2008 -> 05:59 PM) The 1st mistake was trying to read into what Williams has said so far this off-season. You and I both know that they'll be going after speed. I don't see what options there are for 3rd base to replace Crede/Fields. Blake is going to get a lot more money than he deserves, and it seems like Blalock will be back with Texas. Recent reports suggest Beckham's being moved to 3rd base, so there's no reason for Sox to bring in someone for the long term.
