QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 08:00 PM) no idea... But Roger Bossard is the White Sox head groundskeeper.

That's such a beautiful 2 seamer, he just doesn't utilize it properly.

He should probably stop hanging his curveball, just a suggestion.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) Who is Roger Bossert, I've seen this name mentioned a few times. He's the Head Grounds Keeper, his job is to make sure bunts placed perfectly down the thirdbase line stay fair.

Roger Bossert just screwed up BIG TIME.

WOW, Javy is still my boy for another inning.

This is one of those innings where you just get that feeling.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 06:12 PM) I find it funny how so many people have "inside sources"...... The only people I believe are probably Steff/JimH who have proved to be kind of reliable when they talk to their "sources" Congrats to you on that. I personally like hearing from anyone who has any sort of info they believe to be true.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:27 PM) say pods is moved, is it needed to get another lead off in return? Say we are getting a big bat for the outfield...do we have an inhouse? I mean, i s'pose iguchi would be avg...i think he could be alright on OBP...but the speed would be awful. I'm just talking because i'm lonely. If we got Soriano, he would be the new leadoff hitter.

QUOTE(supernuke @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) Is it possible that the Sox would trade for him then sign him to a long term contract to increase his trade value when they flip him? Any long term contract extension he gets would involve a no-trade clause which brings up a whole new set of variables.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) man if we're gonna deal with a month more of acquiring soriano (i know its not like griffey, i know) i'm really gonna start cutting myself. i'm just kidding... Actually there's only a week left. Soriano would never clear waivers so August should be free of any trade speculation this year.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:45 PM) I dont care if they give up Broadway. Hell I was one of the guys who hated us drafting him in the first place. If he can be part of a package that gets us Soriano, then he has done more than I ever thought he would for the sox. That's one of the reasons why they draft guys like Broadway and McCullough, they're those types of pitchers who project to be solid locks to make the bigs and more often than not put up excellent numbers in the minors, making them perfect trading chips. I won't shed a tear if L. Broadway meets up with L. Broadway later today.

QUOTE(rcpweiner @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Well then ... Pods and Fields for Soriano? Yes or no, everybody? In a focking second, wouldn't even hesitate.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:41 PM) That sound you hear is the sigh of relief of thousands of Sox fans. Phew. It did make me feel a whole lot better.

Kenny Williams just said to reporters that he WILL NOT be trading McCarthy. I don't even know if I should believe him anymore.

QUOTE(soxpride77 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) The Brewers want McCarthy too. From what I've heard, nearly every team that see McCarthy, want him. Every team in baseball wants McCarthy, I don't see any reason why you wouldn't.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) when will mcdougal be in a uni? tomorrows game? Well, the Royals were in KC yesterday and tomorrow so it wouldn't be much of a trip to get to Chicago and seeing how quickly Lumsden was placed on Wichita's roster I'd say the deal was done pretty early this afternoon. I don't see why he couldn't be available to pitch tonight.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:08 PM) Pods would move to center I think Soriano actually has a good number of outfield assists, but Pods would be a mess in center I think Dye should play center and move Pods to right Pods has negative throwing strength so that would be damn pathetic and Dye is incredibly slow in the OF now a days so yeah, the Sox would probably missout on the Playoffs with that defensive OF.

QUOTE(bmags @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) okay...bare with me guys...i'm gonna need like a tim mccarver simplified explanation for my dumb ass does pods move to center than? Is soriano good in LF How much D are we losing for 20 more home runs ? Soriano in LF, Anderson in CF = Soriano in LF, Pods in CF = DEATH

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:03 PM) the Minneapolis Star Trib says the Twins are the front runner for C-Lee Funny how that works, the Tigers are the supposed front runners for Soriano and all of a sudden the Sox jump in there are as a possible destination now the Twins are front runners for Carlos and KW throws his hat in the ring once again.

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) Carlos Lee has now been mentioned on the Score as another trade rumor???!!! I think I can say with relative certainty that Carlos Lee will never play for the Sox again as long as KW and Ozzie are around.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) Just throwing this out there: Pods and McCarthy for Soriano.... Yes or no? NO, I don't see how weakening the pitching and strengthening the offense makes this team any better.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) Pods is weaker offensively than ANDERSON? HUH??? On top of that, Pods is a left handed bat, which gives us a killer left-right batting order if he's still around. And TWO proven base stealers. Scott Podsednik has stopped stealing bases and when he does, he's mediocre.

QUOTE(LVSoxFan @ Jul 24, 2006 -> 03:53 PM) I've yet to hear an explanation of how, if it's not Soriano in LF and Pods in CF, Soriano's going to fit into the lineup. What, as a backup for Iguchi? SORIANO = LF ANDERSON = CF PODS = GONE
