I just listen for "White Panther" references.

Unless this Valbuena guy is interesting (I know nothing about him), I don't understand why the Indians would do this one. Gutierrez really seemed to put things together for the Tribe in the 2nd half of last season (.816 OPS).

mlbtraderumors is speculating that the Twins backed off Casey Blake perhaps because they might be trying to snag Furcal now that the A's have ended negotiations.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 5, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) And you think this why? Even he essentially said that. He's glad to be moving to the AL where there's a DH.

Cole Armstrong expendable? Flowers will never wear a catcher's mask in a White Sox uniform so what the hell is Stark talkin' about?

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Dec 4, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) I never believe what KW says. I don't think anyone should

Uh oh, we're in trouble!

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 07:53 PM) Couldn't disagree more. Dawson and his .323 obp have no business being in the hall of fame. 2700+ hits, 400+ homers, 300+ SBs and 8 gold gloves beg to differ.

QUOTE (knightni @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) So, TCQ's going to be tired for a few weeks... Hopefully he won't break the other wrist on his "bat".

Please let this be the year Dawson gets in. He shoulda been in long before Sandberg got a sniff.

Too early to say Dayan Viciedo? I'm thankful that Javy Vazquez is on the trading block

December 23, 2006 Traded from Texas Rangers to Chicago White Sox for P Brandon McCarthy in 5-player deal Last season we had all the Torii Hunter nonsense around Thanksgiving.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Nov 25, 2008 -> 08:03 PM) What couple of million? He made $4.5 million and if he's offered arbitration he'll ask for $5.5 million. That's way too much for a defensive sub with some HR pop. I'm gonna agree with that. I wouldn't mind seeing Juan come back next season, but offering him arbitration could wind up quite costly. I think he'd wind up accepting it.

I won't comment on the title as I didn't see it but the blog is friggin' hilarious.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) In name only. It's definitely the hall of very good, judging by a lot of its members. He can definitely get in. Agreed... he's not a first ballot, but he'll get in.

Lowe's World, party time, excellent...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 19, 2008 -> 03:33 PM) For God's sake, don't tell me we're making Eric Hinske our everyday CF. That'd be something wouldn't it? After Swisher and Griffey, I wouldn't be surprised.

Wouldn't he essentially be our new Mackowiak? Maybe a little better of a stick I suppose. That said, I wouldn't throw a fit.

So we essentially traded Swisher for Jose Valentin then?

I don't think this is anywhere near the Martha Stewart witch hunt. It's a civil suit so jail time isn't an option.

What a glorious day!

Where are people hearing this stuff about Betemit?

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Nov 12, 2008 -> 02:10 PM) Uribe (to Fukudome): "The summer me..." Fukudome (to Uribe): "The winter me..." And no, I'm not comparing the two players talent for f***s sake Next thing you know Fukudome is gonna be digging holes in Grant Park. "My name is Edgar"
