I still havn't seen a realistic shuffle for if we were to just trade for Pierre. Where would he play?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 09:25 AM) And since 2002, hasn't he basically cut one bad month off every year? Just about. '03 - 4 bad, 1 good, 1 meh '04 - 4 bad, 2 good '05 - 2 bad, 4 good He's improving.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 09:14 AM) It's a valid argument to possibly trade Crede. We all know how great he was done the stretch and in the post-season, but if we do keep him and he goes in one of his early season, long funks, then we will be wishing we traded him earlier. Every year it's the same with Joe, terrible start and heats up late, I love Joe, but we need him to hit .270 ish to stay and I don't know if he can do that. Joe Crede 2005: Apri - .304/.368/.456/.824 : 2HR May - .155/.211/.286/.496 : 3HR June - .275/.333/.538/.871 : 6HR July - .304/.342/.551/.893 : 4HR Aug - .103/.148/.172/.320 : 1HR Sept - .379/.419/.759/1.178 : 6HR 2 bad months

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 09:02 AM) Could Furcal play 2B? Then have Gooch move to DH (especially if Frank isn't going to be healthy)? I still don't think Furcal is worth 4yrs/$40M in the Sox' current situation. If we needed a leadoff guy and a SS like the Cubs then yes he would be a nice pickup, I just don't like the idea of paying a guy that kind of money when we really don't have a spot for him to fill.

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 08:38 AM) Were did i say trade Rowand??? I am a big rowand fan to Where are you putting Pierre? He doesn't have nearly enough power to be a DH and he's not good enough to force out Dye or Podsednik. Where would he play?

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) My off the wall prediction for this offseason was for the sox to aquire Juan Pierre from the Marlins, so I am going to stick to this prediction... I have no reason to belive that this is accully happen, but I predicted AROD getting traded to the Yanks and Colon going to the Sox along with the sox getting Pods in the past few years. Having said that I have been wrong about 70% of the time We'd be regressing. Rowand >>>> Pierre.

I made this thingy a few months ago . . .

Interesting touch with the Everett pic.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 11:16 PM) With the last year and a half anorexia is the ''in'' thing. So we can all look forward to it from now on. Yessssssssssssssssss!!! Just as long as Jessica Biel keeps her body the way it is I'll be happy. I actually watched 7th Heaven for a few years there. Of course now she's the new "in" hot celeb so she could be stricken with the disorder some time in the comming months.

It looks like someone took an ugly pair of Reeboks and put a Sox logo sticker on the side. I could do that myself with a better pair of shoes.

I'll admit, I found Nicole Ritchie mildly attractive when she was a little pudgy. She just looks f***ing sick right now.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) So, did anyone notice Jas' member titles for the past few weeks? Appearantly he likes men.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) PK should get 3 years at $50 million. Anything longer or for more money is just not worth it. Long term big money deals always turn out to be bad for the team. If he won't take $16.5 million/year, with a 3-year guarantee, then he's not worth it. Let him go to NY and endure the media circus.. Put Dye at first, put Anderson in right, give Garland some more cash and let the chips fall where they may. You are f***ing insane. There is absolutely no way you give Paul Konerko $16.67M a year. That's $3.67M too much, that money could be used in much better ways than Konerko.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 08:18 PM) Because the the scouting report coming out of college was that he wasn't physically big enough and he wasn't that mobile. It said that he would get injured very quickly in the NFL. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) Grossman, IIRC, didn't miss a game during his whole college or high school career. Yet, the scouting report said he would get injured very quickly? Please, come up with a new schtick, because you're not bringing a whole lot right now... Hmm . . . kinda interesting because I happen to be reading Grossman's '03 NFL Draft scouting report right now. Shockingy, there's no mention of him being prone to injury. Rex Grossman ANALYSIS Positives: Has solid, compact muscle development with broad shoulders, big hands and adequate leg definition … Shows smoothness in his pass drop, taking short, quick strides … Gets rid of the ball on time with a quick release, displaying good velocity on his long tosses … Keeps his poise standing in the pocket and quickly comes back after the sack … Throws on time with touch, anticipating the receiver's moves and coverage … Hits his targets in stride, reads the field quickly and rarely hesitates to throw long … Very good at locating his secondary targets … Throws the long ball with an arc to gain distance and is seldom late in getting the ball to his target. Negatives: Needs better judgment, as he tends to throw the ball to dangerous spots in the zone, risking the costly interception … Carries the ball a little low, which causes his delivery to slow down at times … Feels pressure and slides his feet well to avoid, but his mobility is only marginal … Lacks a short touch, putting too much on his throws … Has trouble following through with his release when flushed out of the pocket … Lacks the burst needed to escape the pocket.[/b]

OUTRAGE!!!11

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) Here we go with the numbers again. If both Mags and Kong are faced with a runner on second and nobody out ........ who is going to force the ball to the right side for the benefit of the team. Just go back 2 years and the preceding several and compare our stats to the Twins. This year we got smart. This year 2 of our stalwart hitters were moved to other cities. Maggs would more than likely come through in that situation while Konerko popped out to short.

Scott Boras has gone out of his way to ruin the MLB Draft. There are numerous players every year that many teams will not risk drafting simply because of who the players agent is.

Scott Reifert is a wise man.

How is PK a better defender than Maggs? 1B is arguably the easiest position to play and Konerko is an above average defender at that position. Magglio on the other hand plays a much more important position and plays it above average as well. Magglio had and has a plus arm which is damn important for an outfielder. Considering their respective positions and the way they play them, defensively Maggs>>>>Konerko.

QUOTE(sayitaintso @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) Did Mouton use to play catcher at all? Not in the majors.

It's so beautiful.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 03:12 PM) Looking at the MLB site, there is no mention of an executive of the year among the EOY awards. Just not there. But someone mentioned another one in this thread, the BWAA. Not sure what that is (Baseball Writers Association of A**holes?). EDIT: Also, Kalapse metioned IRRC. Don't know what that is either (International Red-sox Racketeering Conspiracy?). If I Recall Correctly

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) I'm just 19, and we definitely still would do this during the summers now. We wouldn't even need that many people. We'd use pitcher's hand as a rule for outs at first, and then we'd have ghost runners, etc. We'd do the same w/ football. We'd just need 3 people. One would be a QB, one would be on offense (no running plays), and another on defense. Two-hand tap, two completions equaled a first down, and the length of the boulevard was a TD. Neighborhood sports = the best. Sometimes we'd play baseball 2 on 2. Right field was out except you could hit the ball over the track in right for a HR, also ground balls to the right side were fair, we played pitcher's hand with ghost runners and we used a teeball. We'd play it at the park which had a track running all the way around it so if you hit the ball over the track it was a HR. The problem with the track was; it was about 150 feet down the left field line and then the track went straight out so it was about 400 feet to dead center.
