QUOTE(Y2HH @ Jan 12, 2005 -> 04:55 PM) As a purist fan of baseball, Wrigley IS a great place to watch a ballgame. But Comiskey is still the greatest baseball show on earth. You may now proceed to pummel me for saying the unthinkable about Wrigley. -y2 Well if you like the smell of urine, falling concrete, and weeds on the walls then I guess its a good place to see a game.

Doug M wants to keep the ball Registration required. Dougy wants to keep the ball at the clinch of the world series, the RedSox want it back.

QUOTE(farmteam @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 11:26 PM) YES! I jumped up and down for joy when I heard the Sox got AJ. Add Iguchi...PLEASE. Also, where have you guys heard this about Nenn? I haven't heard about anything between the Sox and him. Do we even have spots in our bullpen? Do we have spots in our bullpen. After last year watching Old Man River Jackson and Billy Chaos rumble out of the pen I never thought the pen would be addressed. Thanks for proving me wrong KW. I would move one of our long relievers back to AAA to season up as a starter just in case El Duque goes down. Send Cotts back to AAA to learn a third pitch and work in the rotation. Atkins is our long man and we are good. If Nen burns out or someone gets hurt Cotts would be stretched enough not to use Mr. Teeball Stand Jason Grilli or Mr. Teeball stand II Felix Diaz.

Heard it myself. GREAT FREAKIN NEWS!!!!!! Get Iguchi and call it a very successful offseason.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jan 6, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) Information doesn't need to come out of "Sox camp." Pierzynski and Iguchi's agent's don't heed to Williams beliefs, as they are attempting to give their agents the best possible offers. When contract information/interest is made public, as I've referenced in my previous posts, Williams "under the radar" mentality doesn't appear to take effect. I don't know how much longer you will continue this useless argument. You are defending Williams, while I'm simply suggesting recent news of Iguchi's offer goes against F.U.W. policy. Are you going to continue to PM me following every post, as to make sure you have the final word. Fine. I fail to understand the difficulty with accepting my position. Flash hits it on the head. Everyone is making a big deal out of KW stating he is flying under the radar. No GM gives out their full deck of cards. Its not in their best interest and doesnt help there clubs. All that this would do is create a bidding war for player X. Steinbrenner doesnt go public on dollar amounts until the ink is dry. Look at how long it takes for the yanks to announce the finalized contract and to introduce the player to their fans. The agent and family members of the players are the sources for most of these leaks. The agent is trying to get multiple suitors to drive up the value of their player to get the best possible deal. The other possible place is leaks from other organizational guys who should keep their mouths shut. KW doesnt have a good poker face and that is the problem. Someone from the press asks him a question and his body language/facial expressions/ and comments give the game away. His self imposed hiatus from the media is due to his inability to keep things under tap.

It seems like the spin machine is in full effect if we dont sign AJ. If we see an article on how Harris is going into the season as a starter then we are goosed. Whitesox.com Plan B for Catcher

3 million to the Dodgers is not a big deal. AJ will go where the money is, and obviously by our paultry offer it wont be here. Remember this when Ben Freakin Davis his pulling up a 600 OPS with a 212BA to go with it. Hey but he was cheap.

8 mill per. This was the year for pitchers to get highway robbery. Thank god we traded for Freddy, imagine his contract on the open market.

How about we get one of Tom Moore's students. This guys brings offense every single place he goes. His system is proven.

We have a geriatric lady running our team. Great for us. Hey but we fired Shea. WOOO HOOO optimism is here to stay. Papa Bear is rolling in his grave with the stupidity that took over after him. This was not meant to be in green.

QUOTE (Jeckle2000 @ Jan 1, 2005 -> 04:42 AM) Jon Garland a better value then Vazquez...Yes... Jon Garland with more upside then Vazquez...Yes... Jon Garland in the hall of fame or winning a CY Young...no offense but pass that bong over here.... Jeckle that fine crack you smoke must be getting to your head. Garland does not have more upside than Vasquez

Most of my family missed the memo on this.

8.5 million for that. El Duque what a bargain you are.

He is going to get destroyed in the AL. His arm is crap now and his era was close to 5 in the NL. 2003 is a distant memory for this guy. If he was worth anything dont you think that someone would of picked him up for anything and given him more than a single year.

Millwood has an NL Era of close to 5. How do you think that will translate to the AL. He is going to get killed then he will get injured. Its a moterate pickup and wastes 7 mill for them.

Grilli in the pen would = 2005 version of Mike Jackson No inherited runner would be safe, he would most likely walk the bases loaded and give up the big dong. On the other hand he is quite cheap.

I dont know if I agree on his placement of Sweeney. But he is pushing BMAC and Anderson as tops. Foxsports on our prospects

Willie spells CF and 2nd base. It gives us also a pinch runner, granted a pinch runner that hugs the base he is on because he is afraid of running, but a fast one when the ball is hit.

10 times Do you think you are overstating you case just teensy weensy bit. I did a once over of the stats and I think they favor Javier outside of last year.

Jeckle I do remember you b****ing up and down how bad Garland was in whitesoxcentral.com chat last year when he pulled his judy routine more often than not. Now he is better than Vasquez. Flash, Tmar, Minny anyone remember this? I can understand the money and contract side of the puzzle, but to say that Garland is better than Vasquez alone is goofy even for you.

Sabermetrics is devil speak

Jeckle will have a stroke if KW starts to low ball Arow. He may finally snap.

Arow is my new favorite player after Maggs left. We need to lock him up.

Vasquez Vasquez > garland+marte or anderson I like marte a lot. However if we can get Vasquez our starting pitching would be sick. Not worth giving up Kong though.
