Jeff COX!!! Fields, Swisher, COX!!!: From White Sox Spr...

QUOTE(JoeCoolMan24 @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) I wonder what that tattoo is that Brian has on his left bi-cep. It's a full sleeve that he got in honor of his Grandfather. QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 03:20 PM) Kalapse who is in that picture to the right or Orlando Cabrera. Is that Alexei? Yes, it's Ramirez.

Boone Logan is a sexy, sexy man:

QUOTE(3E8 @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) I think it was in the same article that broke the news Orlando Cabrera doctored his birth certificate by making himself two years younger. Ok, so what you're saying is he's the only one privy to such information? I withdraw my original question.

QUOTE(palehose23 @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) B. Roberts also has a limited no trade clause to a number of teams. 4 teams

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 23, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) Colon won't be pitching until June probably. Besides, Floyd's not going to be released or waived anytime soon. Danks will be sent to AAA first since he has options left. Link? I haven't read that anywhere.

Omar Minaya did not trade away Scott Kazmir, that was Jim Duquette. As for Brandon Phillips, he was given away for nothing by the Indians at the beginning of the '06 season, if everyone knew he was about to become a 30/30 player Jim Bowden could have easily re-acquired him before he was shipped off to the Reds. Phillips was a highly talented player who carried the stigma of being incapable of translating his excellent minor league performance to the major league game. His talent has now brought him one above average season at the major league level. Every GM has traded away a player like Brandon Phillips at some point in their career. Making a last ditch effort to save a dying franchise requires some aggressive moves, somehow I doubt Minaya regrets the moves he made during the first year of his general managing career.

Ohka will not pitch a game in the Majors this year, he'll provide the Charlotte Knights with a nice veteran presence in the rotation.

Carlos Lee and Darin Erstad:

QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 22, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) Minnesota Twins - dome: Mon, Apr 07 @CHW 4:05 PM Wed, Apr 09 @CHW 8:11 PM Thu, Apr 10 @CHW 8:11 PM So when exactly do you want the Sox to make their Home Opener? June? The Sox home opener in '05 (April 4th) is still one of the most pleasant games I've ever attended.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 19, 2008 -> 12:08 AM) The decision has already been made, I can guarantee you that. Baring injury Buehrle will take the ball on March 31st in Cleveland. http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2008/02...tion_set_1.html MAR 31 @ CLE: Buehrle APR 2 @ CLE: Vazquez APR 3 @ CLE: Danks APR 4 @ DET: Contreras APR 5 @ DET: Floyd APR 6 @ DET: Buehrle APR 7 vs MIN: Vazquez (Home Opener)

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Feb 22, 2008 -> 01:47 PM) http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/team/playe...layer_id=425856 Should I be concerned about the area where Gavin's "action" shot should go? No change here: http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/team/player.j...layer_id=424825

Roberts signed a 2 year extension before the start of last season that will pay him $6.3M in 2008 and $8M in '09. So he'll be a free agent following the 2009 season at the age of 32.

QUOTE(heirdog @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Who is the lefty that does not have a beard and is listed as John Danks? I'm pretty sure that's not him. I apologize if this was covered previously but after reviewing 80 pages on another site about the B Wallace trade, I didn't have the patience to search for an answer to this. Andy Sisco

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 06:26 PM) Our 1st look at Alexei Ramirez...

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 05:06 PM) the point of this? The same reason the Sox signed Tim Redding 2 years ago, Charlotte needs players too.

Mike MacDougal hit Joe Crede in the left hand with a pitch today, Crede was taken to the hospital for X-Rays. They came back negative. http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2008/02/crede_hurt.html

QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) I dont see KW trading Crede for a guy like Fred Lewis... How does he help us? I imagine we would be looking for pitching and not another guy that needs to be added to the 40 man roster? Not just the 40 man roster, he'd have to be added to the active (25 man) roster. There's no room for someone like Fred Lewis.

Since I know nothing about him as a man I can not comment on what kind of person he is but as an agent there isn't another person in the field who's better at their job than Boras. Personally, I have nothing against the guy unlike most people who seem to think he's Satan.

AAA fodder

MacDougal still has an option remaining.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 11:38 AM) The U.S. government keeps changing the visa rules, and I'm pretty sure Richar isn't the only MLB regular currently having problems. I've read of at least 13 players who have had trouble getting back into the country.
