Soxfest

Baines is 100 times more deserving than Santo, Baines has the MOST hits for any player not in HOF who is eligible. Baines is NOT a self promoter or whiner like Santo. Baines is the best clutch hitter to EVER wear a Sox uniform, hell yes he is a HOF in my eyes but the DH stigma kills his chances.

MB has played more than 130 games only once, looks like Woods old DL spot will have a new member!

The rotation would be a shamble, I do not know about this deal!

That projected team is not worth the 11% ticket increase this year!

No to JG. I was never a fan of his!

IF the Sox want to go cheaper in 2009 that is fine, but the 11% increase in ticket price is a bit hard to swallow. Only 10 teams increased prices for 2009.

Dye has played good for the Sox , I am grateful for what he did in 05 to win the title. He is a class guy IMO.

Good News OC is gonzo!

The trade I understand, but as of today this team will not be in contention for a division title IMO.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 26, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) Sort of. But I don't think many fans have a problem with going younger and hopefully a little faster on the basepaths. But they probably shouldn't be raising ticket prices in this economy. Baseball ticket prices are so out of whack it's amazing. I guess some people have the money. I grow tired of the whoa is me KW crap all the time. 11% ticket increase but yet payroll will be cut.

I like it, Sox are going to need young guys especially after 2009! ML system is getting better all the time.

Cora will never be hired as a manager IMO!

He was a major buster!

Hell no.............he is done and can't get on base to boot!

Sox shed salary and get nothing in return.........Glad we traded Gio for nothing now!

I am all for it sounds like a future stud and Sox need young guys badly!

Credit to Baseball America Will the White Sox keep Gordon Beckham at shortstop or move him to second base? How soon do you think it will take him to reach the major leagues? How much will he hit, and how good will he be defensively? Robert Barker Athens, Texas The White Sox plan on keeping Beckham at shortstop for the immediate future. He'll also see time at second and third base in the Arizona Fall League, but that's because he signed too late for Chicago to request a priority roster spot for Beckham on the Peoria Saguaros. It appears that Ian Desmond of the Nationals will get the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the Saguaros. Beckham should hit for a solid average with well above-average power for a middle infielder, while playing steady defense at shortstop. His hands are the biggest question for him defensively, but he covers enough ground and has plenty of arm for shortstop. His big league ETA is mid- to late 2010. Ultimately, where Beckham fits with the White Sox depends on where Alexei Ramirez winds up. Ramirez likely will shift from second base to shortstop next season. If Ramirez looks good defensively there, then Beckham probably slides over to second base. If Ramirez leaves something to be desired, he could return to second base or even move to center field when Beckham is ready.

Thank you, Mr. Danks you are everything that Vasquez is not!

YES

Gotta win game 1 to take 3 in a row!

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 06:31 AM) That can't be real. To say it is horrid would be an insult to the word horrid! Dear God!

Station to station s*** is old time to move some vets out!

Must win for Sox!

I loathe JV I do not want to see him again in 2008!

Vasquez thanks for being a timid b**** last 4 starts!
