Wanne

I guess my feeling is I think I'd be more comfortable with Lexi in that spot given Gordo's struggles for the most part of last year.

Per Cowley...

He's really to Carlos Leeish and LF is where he should be IMO. I do agree with the feeling of jacking him all over the place. He's the Danieal Manning of the White Sox.

There's gonna come a time when Oney pisses off the wrong people and it's gonna cost him. This has become quite an embarrassment to this organization. An Ozzie roast seemed like a disaster waiting to happen from the start...

Good deal for Rays...low risk IMO. Him and Damon.

damn...I guess desperate.

Very sad day indeed. I can tell you one thing...for as bad as tensions are (still) with the whole SB thing...if this would have turned out to have been a young hispanic male this state would have blown a gasket. Just sayin....

Nevermind. Found it. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=55750 lol. These are too damn funny. That was some funny s*** in there Jordan! This was my favorite line: "Worst trade in the history of life".

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jan 4, 2011 -> 03:10 PM) Are you talking about insurance on Peavy? Because I heard something like that too. Like, we are spending the money we saved from Peavy on our payroll right now. yeah...that. Any clue how much?

speaking of money...does anybody know what kind of money the Sox got for Peavy's injury?...or is it even settled yet (until he comes back)?

like Balta and many said...you bet your butt he is. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen...hopefully it doesn't make him go into psycho-mode because of it. Having said that...it seemed to work for Lovie Smith this year but Lovie and Ozzie about as far apart on the spectrum as you could possibly be.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 3, 2011 -> 09:02 PM) That's pretty awesome, Wanne. Very jealous. It is pretty nice shack. The fall league games are great too since this is the home field the Saguaros as you know. Heck...walk right in and sit right next to the dugout for cheap in the fall.

I swung by the new Dbags facility the other day when I was out there. It'll be nice and pretty accessible (right off the 101). I'm pretty pumped for ST! I know I brag about this every year...but this is the view out of my office window. Peoria Sports Complex left field. Little extended lunch for a brat, beer and baseball at least a couple times a week.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 28, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) I think Ozzie needs to muzzle the kid. The White Sox cannot continue to have someone with this much personal information about the players spewing it uncontrollably via Twitter. Eventually, it's going to have a major negative affect on the White Sox, including having players refusing to play for Ozzie Guillen because his son can't keep his mouth shut and respect their privacy. Completely agree. It's actually pretty embarrassing for the organization. For as much as Ozzie says he backs his players and such...eventually crap like this will diminish any kind of trust players may actually have with him. Oney is really showing what a punk he is...

I dunno...$6M a year for a setup man seems a bit ridiculous. I prefer the Crain deal. Now if the question was who would you rather have?...still Crain. Not sure who Bobby will fare in the setup roll.

I'm not gonna hate on Bobby. He had some flame outs this past year or two but has been a pretty solid member of the bullpen and team. I'll always have a soft spot for him. Good luck Bobby...

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 15, 2010 -> 11:23 PM) Not sure if this was posted yet, if so my apologies. ChuckGarfien Crain vs. Konerko .111 with 10K's in 18 at-bats, vs. AJ .154, vs. Alexei .125, vs. Teahen .000 with 5 K's.... about 2 hours ago ChuckGarfien Jesse Crain's career against the White Sox: 5-2. 1.45 ERA in 49.2 innings. Don't have to deal with that anymore. about 2 hours ago Best part of the whole deal IMO. Kenny scored here I think...

So just wth is Philly's entire payroll next year?...

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 09:42 AM) LOL. No he's not. Oh by a mile he is. Plus he steals a lot of bases!

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:40 PM) good for them, can't hate on any organization that isnt afraid to throw the almighty dollar around for its fans. Yes...I can.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 04:38 PM) I don't know about that. Who would lead off? Who would steal bases? Pierre might not as good as he used to be defensively, but I think he's still way better than Quentin. Plus we already have enough slowness in the lineup with Dunn and SLOWnerko. It would be like 06-08 again when everybody was talking about how much we need speed. I really don't get the Pierre bashing by some. Is the guy an all-star or anything...no. But once he got going he was pretty effective and when he was on base he was a huge distraction on the bases. I'd welcome Pierre back as out starting LF in a heartbeat.

Really sucks Threets got hurt...but it really was probably inevitable.

I'd really prefer not to deal Viciedo unless it's for a proven BP guy. My biggest fear is him turning into a monster one it clicks on for him. We really don't know what we have on our hands right now with him. He's so young...and you really don't see many guys who have the ball jump off his bat quite like him.
