As a Sox fan Detroit is gonna be tough look for KW to pick from the bottom shelf rest of the way!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 11:42 PM) I honestly dont think its worth it to deal for him at this point. I kinda like the direction we are going here with building a younger core. Its time to be real. With the trade market and the FA market like it is this year, we arent going to be able to pull together enough pieces to win the World Series, and prob not even our division. Lets keep collecting some young talent for a nice new core, add to it, then wait for a better trade or free agent opportunity. As much as Miggy would help building a powerhouse team, it would cripple any sense of a minor league system at the top levels and would financially crush the team for the next several years if we signed an extension. Sox do NOT have one untouchable prospect not a one, trade what you have to to get deal done!

I like the deal now, I hope the Rowand talk dies out.

Rowand may want to come back but his salary demands eliminate that IMO!

KW arrogance at it's finest again, he huffs and puffs and nothing happens. I do not see anything major happening at winter meetings or rest of winter. KW will trade or sign a middle of the road guy and tell Sox fans whoever it is was plan A the whole time!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 28, 2007 -> 04:27 PM) Oh goody. My thoughts on this deal are pretty well known. I hope Linebrink produces what he did in San Diego for us. Am I confident of that happening? No. So I just hope we're not going to regret this deal compared to what Yabuta and Kobayashi received, and that we're not "stuck" with Linebrink if he doesn't produce. Not real happy about a no trade clause for a middle reliever.

No to Rowand...................time for KW to aim higher alot higher!

Marioti would of been the first one complaining about how the Sox signed a 32 yr old and how they will regret it down the line paying him in year 4 and 5. He had 2 columns ready BOTH ripping the Sox management.

The money is high but I do like the Linebrink to Jenks bridge to victory.

JG thanks for 2005, I am not going to miss your .500 record every year today is a day of celebration for me. Good luck in LA.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Nov 15, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) If Hunter can get that from Texas then it's a no-brainer, he has to take it. At this stage in his career he's got to go where the $ is, not where they have nice playing turf. I agree 6 yr/90 Mil no way I give Hunter that much.

3 years too late!

I hope the karma BOR-ASS has spread around is finally coming back to bite him in the nuts, his arrogance is beyond over the top every GM from now on should say ONLY way we talk to his clients is without Scott Boras in the room. Yankees have set the new way to deal with him!

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Nov 14, 2007 -> 12:35 AM) For what it's worth, Steve Phillips (via a radio clip on Insider) said the White Sox have a good shot at winding up with both Torii Hunter and Miguel Cabrera. Of course I'll believe it when I see it. I think that is a pipedream with the Sox!

No suprise Sweeney is being talked about seems he has fallen out of favor with Sox brass.

Tells me Eickstein talk is over and KW is dealing in other areas to upgrade through trade or spend money on free agents.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 6, 2007 -> 12:05 PM) Thanks, mighty Thor. You are welcome Roht.

Article does not much give hope for improvement in 2008!

I cannot wait to see Garland go it is a day of celebration for me.

This thing is gaining traction. Buster Olney comments on the idea of a Joe Crede for Johnny Damon swap this morning: Makes sense in a lot of ways: The Yankees would get the veteran third baseman they need without committing themselves to big dollars, shed Damon's salary, and the White Sox would solve their third base logjam while adding a center fielder for much less than what the free agent center fielders will get (Damon is owed about $26 million over the next two seasons, and presumably, the Yankees would eat some of that to make a deal happen).

Deng can get traded he is not or ever will be a superstar.

Bor-ass as Crede's agent his days are numbered anyway so If deal helps the team I say do it, time to play Fields everyday.

http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines And away we go!

Make the deal 0-2 after a bad 11 pt loss to terrible Philly team. Deng can go 10 pts, 4-12 shooting in 35 minutes and a non factor he is worth any deal to get Kobe. out the wanna be stars.

3 yr for Hunter MAX or sign with someone else.
