QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) In his career against LHP - 202/.296/.380/.677, and it's been good each of the last 4 years. For the right price, that's a solid pickup. Would picking up this fellow mean Sale would probably be hitting the rotation?

Man, Boers and Bernstein are making me super excited about this signing.

They just mentioned on the score the Sox are looking at Tim Byrdak. http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/b/byrdati01.shtml

When's the "he's gone!" party start? Fly fatass, fly!

I was watching Hot Stove today on the MLB Network and they were doing a "rival roulette" segment showing what different free agents would look like on different teams. They showed Konerko in a Cubs uni and I almost vomited in my mouth.

Apparently we were interested in Wily Mo Pena (signed with the D-Backs) http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/12/dbac...ly-mo-pena.html

They're exercising the option apparently... http://twitter.com/SI_JonHeyman/status/10059812385591296

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 12:56 AM) Baltimore. Yep, I think the Orioles are gonna throw a big number at a couple guys this offseason. Hell, I could see them doing something crazy like $60m/3 for Jeter.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Took me forever to figure out you meant Berkman. Me too. I was wondering what anyone would give Chris Berman all that money for...

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 29, 2010 -> 10:10 PM) So, who's SF's SS now? Renteria's retiring, isn't he? He is not so perhaps he'll be back?

I take it all back, Jeter is worth the $75 million an inning he's requesting...

Holy crap, Dodgers are giving Uribe $21 mil/3!? http://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/statuses/9312882084806656 He had a solid season and a real nice playoff run but seriously? $7 million a year?

Fun article about Yankees legends ending their careers elsewhere: http://content.usatoday.com/communities/da...ankees/1?csp=34

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) Hamilton Miguel Cabrera Robinson Cano Jose Bautista Paul Konerko Which of those guys should PK14 have beaten? I think he deserved it more then Bautista but not enough to get bent outta shape or anything.

I would like to know who the one guy was that didn't put Konerko in the top 10 and why he has a friggin' vote period.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:36 AM) That makes zero sense and anyway I don't believe that KW would offer him $16 million a season. Yeah, that's what didn't jive with me either. No way in hell would Kenny offer that much. I actually was shocked when I initially read we were in it period with the numbers that were floated. Didn't think Kenny would go over 10ish a year, if that.

The article that was referenced in the MLBTR post about the signing said he turned down 48/3 from us to take 50/4 from Detroit... Makes no sense if true. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/tige...r-martinez.html

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 09:00 AM) Kroeger to Marlins, not Yankees. I ain't no good at reading...

Yankees signed Cotts and Kroeger to a minor league deals. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/11/mino...ls-joaquin.html

Didn't McCarthy say something tremendously stupid to the media about being excited to play in Texas because he hated playing in hot weather?

Vikings new coach...

I went with Buehrle. I've loved every minute of his run but he's expensive, aging and we can still get something for him now.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 19, 2010 -> 05:04 PM) I know alot of people are saying Schaumburg, but you would have to put a new stadium in Naperville, its the second largest city in the state. You could put it off of Rt 59 somewhere. Also you need to consider, where in Schaumburg could they possibly build it?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) If they tear down Wrigley where would Cub fans go to the bathroom? The front yards of people throughout the neighborhood, like they do now. Asswipes. I almost knocked some prick out walking back to my car after The Police concert a few years back for pissing in some lady's garden.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 16, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) He also had a .420 OBP, and unless you're Dusty Baker, this is a good thing. Touche... Could be worse I suppose. We could give Kotsay 300+ ABs.
