Kalapse

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) He signed a 2 year deal as well, so he may possibly be our starting RT in 2006. Good luck with that.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 07:08 PM) Great Hawk Harrelson quotes of 2005 1. "Are you nuts!!!!" 2. "Where will they play him?" 3. "Who is Dayn Perry?" and on a similar note, did he learn to smell his name the same place as Jhonny Peralta? I don't know why, but this really made me laugh.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 05:24 PM) I read where the Padres took their 3 year $21 million offer to him off the table. They were hoping he would take a paycut. I'm sure if all things were equal he would want to be on the west coast, but if the money is there the White Sox could offer him a realistic chance at the World Series. Pursuing him would be worth KW's time IMO even if he did say no thank you. It all depends on when and who replaces Kevin Towers.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:18 PM) Just to let everyone know, there's less than a 5% chance of Giles leaving the west coast and less than a 1% chance of him ending up with the Sox. I wouldn't include him in any plans for this offseason. QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:47 PM) I think the Tribe will pursue Giles as much as any other team will (Cubbies of course) but Giles will end up staying on the West Coast, especially if Kevin Towers is replaced sometime soon with someone more competent.

Widge is on the Score right now. His voice is dreamy

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 04:00 PM) So does that mean Hawk and DJ got rings? Yes.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) I said backup catcher and everyday DH. I also said relatively cheap, and if we lose Frank and Paul we'll have to find some source of right-handed power. I guarantee Piazza will be someone's everyday DH in '06. But, again, it's now a moot point. Sorry I brought it up. We already have a good amount of right handed power at this point. What we need for next year would be a power hitter who can hit RH pitching.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:47 PM) Defensively... no question. But Piazza still has a couple of years left in that Hall of Fame bat. I forgot to mention Konerko too. If we lose Carl, Frank and Paul, that's a lot of power. Piazza could come relatively cheap too. He's 36 years old (or thereabouts). But it's a moot point now. Piazza can hardly hit, he can't run, he can't play any defense behind the plate, he can't throw, he wouldn't want to be a backup and he would still make a few million next year. He's just about done.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:44 PM) There goes my plan to sign Piazza as our backup catcher and everyday DH. :-) I like Widger a lot, but I thought Piazza would make a lot of sense, especially with Everett gone and (possibly, but hopefully not) Frank too. The Widge >>> Piazza

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) I usually don't do green. If people can't pick up sarcasm, thats their problem. Plus I wear flame-retardant gear when I'm at the computer I havn't used green either but Fathom has a history of taking a beating for posts like that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:10 PM) It's part of the fun, to see that some posters can be that oblivous to sarcasm. I'm sure you remember me a few months ago saying that I wish Shingo was on the team instead of Jenks because it was so much more exciting to see Shingo pitch. Some people thought I was being 100 pct sincere. BTW, nice to see a member of Group 4 coming back! When I read that post, the Shingo comment is what immediately came to mind.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 03:05 PM) If we're unable to resign PK now because we gave Widger more than minimum wage, KW should be fired! You can't tell me Leo Daigle couldn't be a catcher! You really shouldn't do this to yourself, by making these sort of posts you leave yourself open to a s*** load of flaming. If there's no green some people can't pick up on the sarcasm.

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 02:56 PM) Bless you.. Sexy, you obviously don't speak Wite, do you?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 02:18 PM) YAHTZEE! YOU CAN PUT THAT ONE ON THE BOARD! NOBODY BEATS HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE WIDGE! f*** YEAH!

OMG! BREAKING SOX NEWS!!!!!!! CHRIS MOTHER f***ING WIDGER IS COMMING BACK!! YESS! I AM f***ING PUMPED!!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:43 PM) So then you think all the talk about Giles and the Tribe is BS...... I think the Tribe will pursue Giles as much as any other team will (Cubbies of course) but Giles will end up staying on the West Coast, especially if Kevin Towers is replaced sometime soon with someone more competent.

QUOTE(Irishsox1 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:39 PM) Who cares?....Why even bother to post that? If you have nothing to add why Sports Illustrated left the White Sox championship off there cover, then don't reply. Who Cares?

Joe Kerrigan has fallen quite far.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 12:13 AM) Yes well Rob Pettiti ain't really inspiring anyone so far with his play. Let's see if we can make sumthin of him. He's accomplished 2 things in his pro career: 1.) Managed to take a good amount of $ from the Bears while starting 7 games over 3 seasons. 2.) Blocked a FG vs the Titans last year. Which lead to a game winning safety in OT for the Bears.

Just to let everyone know, there's less than a 5% chance of Giles leaving the west coast and less than a 1% chance of him ending up with the Sox. I wouldn't include him in any plans for this offseason.

"No, I will not take a picture with you, you wouldn't kiss my foot. So f*** you!" How delightful.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) that leads me to believe that we will offer paulie the 5th year if another team comes in with it. 5yrs/$65M from the Sox would not shock me one bit.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 12:57 PM) that seems right what did he get from detroit? 5yrs-$75M = $15M per. it includes 2 option years so Ordonez could make up to $105M total.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Nov 4, 2005 -> 12:49 PM) someone refresh my memory... what did we offer maggs and what did he sign with detroit for? i know we made the right decission with him, i just want to see the numbers again was it 5/60 and 6/72? I thought it was something like 5yrs/$14per that we offered him but my memory on the subject is kind of weak.
