QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 10:50 PM) Other than Jim, many critics of Harris are awful quick to turn a blind eye to others who have the same problems. Knock it off Keith. There is a reason the entire organization soured on Willie. Just deal with it. If anything, the Willie-boosters are the ones that are refusing to accept his attitude issues. As for on-field problems, I'll criticize any player on the White Sox. I'm not trying to protect anyone here. Uribe has his problems too. Big problems actually. If he continues hitting schizophrenically (a problem I do not anticipate going away) the Sox are going to need other guys to step-up. Hawk said it best: Uribe is going to be the hottest players in baseball at times, and at other times, he's going to slump with the worst of them. With a swing that ugly, we are going to have to take whatever we can get. I have even said, at this juncture, I would rather keep Willie to spell Iguchi because he is one of the cheapest solutions out there and has the ability to produce. So, no. I'm not turning a blind eye to others who have the same problems. It doesn't seem like Kenny can bring in the utlity, veteran MI I was hoping for, so, hold on to Willie and see what you can get around the trade deadline when teams are getting desperate. Who knows, maybe Iguchi slumps horribly and we need to start Willie everyday. I'm fine with that, as long as the Willie-boosters hold off on his induction to Cooperstown and admit he's a f***ing mess on the base paths. Dude can't hit LHP either. Don't forget his attitude all the while.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) For not being able to steal he sure led the Sox in that category not even playing full time. ::Shrugs:: So when Pods get cs 1 time we are going to say he cant steal? There are no battle lines either, there are some fans who can see that while Harris may not be the best 2b in the league, that he is very cheap, and has shown that he will hit around .270, has speed, great defensively, and hustles does the right thing on the field. There are other fans who beleive that Iguchi having played 0 real games will come in and dominate, therefore leaving no need for Harris. In my opinion, until Iguchi does something to make Harris expendable, Harris can not be traded unless we are getting back some one who can play SS/2b at a higher level than Harris. SB Aaron Rowand had 17 SB in 2004. Willie Harris had 19 SB. The fleet-footed Willie Harris had 19 f'ing SB in 2004; nothing to be proud of. Don't even tell me that's not disappointing. His base-stealing form and knowledge on the bases have been criticized by everyone. Please. The dude is so tentative on the base paths it's not even funny. It's painful to watch him attempt to steal a base. Let's see the "magic" Rock can work with him.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) out of curiousity whats the point of that info... all that matters is major league production... and spod beats willie there anyday The battle-lines have clearly been drawn on the issue of Willie Harris. Some are for; others, against. I just can't wait for his ass to be traded and move on from this little punk.

Hey guys, Just popping in to say, make sure to post some pics of all the new Sox and minor leaguers in Sox garb. Thanks. Excellent job Jim.

Wow. That put a big smile on my face. It's been a long off-season, I can't wait to get back so Sunny, spring afternoons with a "White Sox Winner!" Don't push it though Big Fella. I'd rather you take your time and come back 100%.

QUOTE(CubKilla @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) Drop dead JR :fyou . Nice of you to pass the buck on the Fisk issue. Any and all player decisions..... and the way they are treated when said decisions are made..... begin and end with you. So, when you saw Killa hanging around in this thread, who else was just waiting for this post? I could have nearly wrote it for you, word for word. Time to get a new gig dude. This one's soooooo old.

Tonight, the Illini will send off Mean Gene with authority. As much as I like Coach Comeover, it will be nice to pummel a team that always plays us tough in West Lafayette. In a few hours, the Illini will be one more win closer to a blemish-free regular season. Perfection.

QUOTE(Steff @ Mar 3, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) Sure could.. my guess is straight up for Bernie the Brewer. We'd be coming out on top with that one Steff. That guy's comedic value is through the roof!

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 09:00 PM) favre will be back, and they wont take a defensive linemen because their secondary is horrible, besides harris and sharper Don't be so sure. A lot of experts anticipate the Packers selecting a DE with the first-round pick, namely Cody from USC.

Awesome job with these fellas. Keep em' coming!

QUOTE(JimH @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 07:04 PM) I am just wondering if it's a surprise to anyone that Harris' name is mentioned in rumors like this. I am not. No, Jim, I don't really think this came as a suprise to anyone that has been monitoring the boards or the team's activity within the past two or three months. The suprise, however, comes when a deal is rumored to involve Wes Helms. That's just a square peg trying to fit into a round hole. Don't get rid of Willie just because you feel pressured to make the change. The punk has value. Dare I say, much more value than Wes Helms.

That's nauseating.

Hey, I see redandwhite lurking, where've ya been bud?

That was classless, and on National Sportsmanship Day, no less. I hope it was worth it.

Remind me again why they keep a record of wins and losses in Spring Training? Guys, it's meaningless. Give it up.

Really...a trade involving Adkins? Nah, I don't think so, not at this point. It takes just one guy to slip up and Adkins can slip right in.

Looky Looky Looky at what Addy found... Per ESPNRADIO1000.com Due to team rights agreements, ESPN 1000 is prohibited from streaming play-by-play broadcasts of White Sox baseball, Bulls basketball and Notre Dame football and basketball. You can pay to access those broadcasts at mlb.com, nba.com and und.collegesports.com, respectively. Looks like you out-of-towners are screwed this season. I'm so sorry.

I'm deeply vexed. Is ESPN RADIO 1000 airing the broadcast or not? I had it up but it was the Dan Patrick show.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Mar 2, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) This is wierd, it's 10 mins. to 2:00 and AM 1000 is all over the Kobe story. They just opened the phone lines for calls. Are the Sox really on at 2:00? Yeah, what the hell is this? I dunno, I just tuned in and I have nothing but Kobe. I need my

I know where I'm going to be at 1:55. Hopefully we'll get some great shots of the new guys in action. I can't wait to see Pierzynski, Iguchi, and co. in Black and Silver! It's finally here, I'm so happy.

Happy Birthday!
