You right that would be the best deal for us.. But why would SF want Uribe or Count?

Was that on your X-Box?

I been on the Overbay bandwagon since this past offseason. . Sign my up sucka!

1. So tracey is having a half decent year.. Lets annoint him starting 1b? The guy lost his 3b job.. They gave him the 1st base job and manages to lsoe that.. And still you want him as our 1b.. :rolly .. hell he probally lose it out to Timo by May. But your right I see your sign someone who hits .004 better avg is such the answer.. Funny you forgot to mention their OBP.. wonder why that is .. Mabye because Overbay actually is better in every single offense Catagory, that matters? 2. So know we get another SS, who can't hit.. Brillant what else you working on? So a Carreer .245 hitter should get our starting SS job.. And how much cash are we throwing into the fire to get him? 3. :headshake So its okay to make excuses for another fan favotire in why he can't play at this level anymore? Yet you still think its okay to carry his salray when it can be used to further help this team with a better player at a postion. (and for the record I am a huge Thomas backer.. But not at the cost of the Team) 4. OC has been injuried by minor injuries hurting his performance..Hard to complete your request. In this post where did I say we should resign Maggs? And again You only give half of every story.. But, in the overbay arguement.. it does? Funny how that works huh? As far as washburn, I read on other sites about this..Another thing to thjink about is that if Angels would have wanted him back you think they would have signed him already

When Schimdt was hurt did it make sense to trade for him???????

If he somehow manages to land Jason Schmidt.. Then you might be onto something..Also depends on who he gives up and if he figures out our SS problem..

You mean someone in the Media doesn't worship the ground the White Sox walk on.. And they are mebers of ESPN.. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU LIE. Jesus fa-king christ people, talk about Someone should merge this into one big huge topic of Media hates the Sox.

This is the guy we should be going after.. and Not Burnett..

1. I know, I said theat Keep Dye as the DH, and it looks like Jose is as good as gone from this team.. WE are going to have to look to otherway to grab Overbay.. Tracy is not an option..maybe as a back-up but not everyday..He losing playing time to Tony fa-king Clark.. And this is your "replacement" .. no thanks 2. Of course some team will offer him more money, don't you know our BS stick when it comes to FA? Offer them less than everyone else than b****a nd complain to the media how we tried to give them the best deal..When in reality, the deal was flat out below market value. Thought you knew this already kid? 3. Maggs was a fan favorite here.. See how well we resigned him? What about Robin Ventura, was he not a fan favorite? What about him.. Wonder why we didn't resign him? This has nothing to do with teams resigning a player. About his bat speed I am not say sign this guy to a 7-year deal.. another 2 year deal. We have 3 OF.. Thats great who DH? We already know who I want.. And lastly if hitting .299/10/54 in a pitchers park is signs of slowing down.. PLease explain why Frank should still be a member of the white sox becuase his number are far worse. 4. Here we go again, Why is it everytime we try and have a vaild converstion where you learn something you have to bring up OC? I know we all wanted a Great starting SS such as OC.. and got the short end of the stick.. But let it go..KW knows he f***ed up hense why trying to trade for Omar or another SS.. :banghead .. And still you have managed to sidetrack the question.. as of right now who would you rahter have Oritz or Wright in the rotation as of July 26, 2005? Not at the end of the year right now 4b. The angels have stated that they are not resigning him, they have Santana and Escobar. to round out the top of the Rotation with Colon. Washburn will not resign with them

Clevland. With javy lopez coming back and add more pitcher to their rotation.. I can see batlimore winning the East.. Now if Oakland wins it.. People this is a sign of the end of the world.. Let me explain.. They can't win a playoff series, and well we can't beat them..If one of the other happends.. The world as we know it is over. Pack up your goods.. its time to say goodbye.

We are giving up to much..

1. So we agree.. Dye would need to go..Actaully with Thomas's health in question he would fill in nicely as a DH/4thOF 2. Again you have to pay money for a starting SS.. We didn't now we are getting burned for it. He will hit 9th great range canon for an arm, and can hit as well..Will have less pressure hitting in the 9th slot as well. 3. Nady stays in the OF, They move RK to first who is a better 1b than LF.. which is not saying much. That leaves the quesiton of Guzman. Its kind of hard for him to hop into the field this year.. I didn't know until now that he was injuried..This might make things a bit of diffcult. But, I have total faith that KW will get it done. 4. I should say the same about you when I mention the offseason I get references to OC.. And again since it seems your a tad bit slow in this issue.. Looking at it now who would you rather have Wright or Ortiz? 4B. I am not 100% sold on garland yet, I also love the L R L R matchups in a rotation. Also it helps that he is 0-1 with a 1.80 ERA this season VS OAK..We need all the help we can get when it comes to them!

Chicago bears MB , Someone at the trib called the Guy who is his friend, don't know the guy at all so I can .. Semes about 60% Legit.. I find out more information, and let you guys know.. I miss having a relative working at the paper.. Trades were so much easier to get info for!

I am much more intrested in MLB than Madden.. After about 3 days I am sick of Madden..Just same thing over and over.. But as far as MVP thingy.. Let me know if there are any opening, I go and buy the Comnputer version that day.

Looks like it is McCarthy and Marte for Burnett..Should be annouced Tuesday Morning. I read on another MB.. Take it for what it is worth..

1. They say that now, but things change...Just like Lee last year was untradeable..The Dye part of the deal.. WE need to get rid of him in order to make room for Giles who better fits this team. 2. Read the whole post.. He hits 9th to take the spot of the loved Uribe :rolly. Lets see if Uribe is worth about 4 mil a year then you have to figure 6-7mil for a better player.. I am sure you will disagree, becuase why pay for good players right? But its to early to see what the market price is for STARTING SS 3. Again this is a question that is to early to answer in regards to the money part of it. THe pads have Nady and Guzman in the wings waiting..I don't think they are looking to keep to much in regards to OF payroll. 4. And when I made the same defense in regards to OH, I got ripped on...No your right lets try and trade for Jarret Wright he fits in here much better :rolly

NO my daddy can beat up your daddy this is your best defense? Giles and Furcal are both FA at the end of year..See there is process Free Agency Rules: # Must have 6 full years of Major League service time to be eligible for free agency (both Disabled-List and Active Roster time count for service) (1 year of service is equal to 182 days or the number of days fro, Opening Day thru final day of season) # The players' contract must also expire for him to be eligible for Free Agency # Players can not sign with other teams then their own until after the 15-Day Period following the conclusion of the World Series. During the 15 days they can negotiate with their previous team and if an agreement is not reached, that player can file for Free Agency. # Sometime between Dec. 18 and Dec. 22 players who are not arbitration eligible, cannot re-sign with their old teams until May 1st of the next year. # Players who are offered arbitration can re-sign till January 8th. On this day they must declare whether they accept or reject arbitration. If he accepts arbitration he has re-signed with his old team can still can sign a deal with that team before his arbitration hearing. If he goes into arb., the single year contract value is decided by an MLB arbitrator # An un-signed player who has at least 3 years of service time is also eligible for arbitration. The top 1 third of players as determined by their statistics are also be eligble for arbitration. Players are arb.-eligible again in there 4th and 5th years of service, if he does not have a multi-year contract and meets requirmentss. A player with 2 years of service time, if an arbitrator deems the player a Super-Two. This usually happens if a player has been a starter for his first two seasons and his stats resembles those of the top players at that position. # A minor league player who has spent the previous six years with the same organization is also eligible for minor league free agency. A player that has six years of minor league service, with various teams, is also deemed a six-year Minor League FA. # At the end of each year each free agent is dubbed a Type A or Type B or Type C depending on their stats with Type A free agents being at the top third of the stats that MLB uses. A team that loses a Type A free agent is compensated with the 1st round pick of the team that signs him. This team also gets a supplemental or sandwich pick between rounds 1 and 2. A team losing a Type B free agent is simply compensated with the highest player that is signed. For instance if Team A signs X and O but only O who was picked in the 2nd round was signed. Team B would only get Player O not X. But in both cases a team selecting in the 1st half of the 1st round cannot lose its 1st round pick. Teams that lose Type C free agents are compensated with a sandwich pick between rounds 2 and 3.

Juggs, Granted we agree on alot of issue, which is hard not to.. but there is a couple that we disagree on and big time.. With the biggest being 1B.. Please explain the pipe dream that is The often injured KGJ? I am confused on how you think he would be a good replacement at 1B def when he has a total of 2 games in his career at the postion.. Actually 2 Innings.. But we can just go and annoint him as our replacement? This is by far a Pipe Dream idea that he would be any good at this postion. Overbay trade..You might have heard of this guy called Prince Fielder..He is going to be the starting 1b for the Brewers in 06.. So overbay is nothing but a bench player.. Milwaukee wcould use pitching and another Stick who could play 1b and OF.. ANd not cost them all that much. OUr other disagreement is that Uribe/Furcal.. Uribe would go back to his 2004 postion of UTL player, which he excelled at..URibe is not a eceryday player, this is what we all came to realize this year. And washburn.. I don't think he would command that type of money, mabye a 6-7mil a year deal..

:headshake Jim you still are living in doubt.. Its sad to see actually. With all your years watchign the Sox and still you have no idea how a winning team is suppose to look like, Granted we have the best record in the majors..But compared up to the top teams.. we really are still missing pieces.. its sad that your to blind to see the truth..

Well since everyone seems to want to be the GM.. Why not listem to the man of reason .. And who else to bring it to you straight than well ME.. Well after 4 years of giving away our farm system for below avg MLB players KW finally realized that this is not the best way to keep one of the easiest jobs in baseball. So finally after JR hired Ozzie, and Ozzie spoke his Mouth KW finally changed the makeup and I give you the 2005 white sox. But with that being said we are pretty much set as a team. KW with his many many failures finally realized that you can not give up the farm.. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks, someone needed to give him my number 3 years ago..We as fans would have been seeing this type team since 03..Other than a RP we are not going after anyone big. It doesn't make any sense, granted we are close to the big pitcure..but, we are missingabout 2-3 pieces that we cannot get till this offseason. These past couple of series against Oak and Boston further proving that we are close but don't have enough to win against the playoff teams. So here is by far the best plan to compete for the crown C- Resign AJ to a 3 year deal, This is by far one of KW best moves in actually doing his job and proving us wrong for the first time in years.. AJ, should get rewarded. 1B- Well here is where most will disagree because of your love of Pauly, But he is not the answer by any means, So this offseason we trade off Contreas and Dye to Milwaukee For Lyle Overbay and a minor leaguer.. OverBay is what we need at this postion. Very good D, hits for contact. When you see the lineup you will understand where he fits 2B- Iguchi, he needs an exentsion.. AS I stated when I first started on this board, I belived that this is what we needed to secure this postion. ANd so far he is everthing that I knew he would be. SS- This is a postion that I stated in the offseason we needed to bring in another options, that Uribe was not the answer here. But, leave it to KW aftere failing to secure the postion to overpay for a UTL player in Uribe. So this offseason, we need to finallize this postion for the next 4-5 years with someone who is an everyday SS, that is Rafel Furcal. He fits exactly everything we are looking for out of a SS. 3B- Crede, He stays.. His D is way to valueable, I was wrong to think that Uribe could just take over.. LF- POds.. I don't think I have to explain on why he needs to stay or why he should get an extension CF- Rowand.. Already signed and very good just needs to get over that hump.. and he will no worries RF- With Dye gone we need a replacement, and the best option is Brain Giles, an LHB RF with speed. Granted over the years Giles speed isn't what it once was but enough to grant him a Spot in RF DH- Here is where it gets tricky. I love Frank and want to see him retire a Sox..But not at the money he is making.. We have to make damn sure that he is healthy..But evern still if he is anything more than 4 mil a year is way to much for 1 dimental player. SP Marky and freddy are signed for a while no need to mess with this duo Garland..Sign a 2 year deal, I am not sold on his sucess this season..But I have been known to be wrong every once in a while Now onto starter # 4 There is only 1 option that makes sense that fits what it is what we are looking for.. Jarrod Washburn, Angels have stated that they are not going to resign, he fits what it is that we would need.. And leave ElDque as our #5 this leave us to skip some if his starts to help him not miss to many starts when we need him So here is the lineups going into next year LF- Scott Pods 2b- Iguchi RF- Giles DH Thomas 1b OverBay CF Rowand C Aj 3b Crede SS Furcal 1- Marky B 2. Garcia 3. Washburn 4 Garland 5. Hernandez

Yep, there were talks about him going to the Astros..Why not make a run at him.. Just think how mice he would look in the 9 hole..

WIth Frank going down again we need a hitter more than a SP.. BUrnett deal looks nice and all but we should be focused on getting Frucal in a Sox UNI

That looks sweet. Though the person that owns the Sox now.. Well lets just say isn't to bright.. How did you find that league? Also do you play all the game or sim them?

I disagree.. I think they need to call Up Bochard, he by far should get the starts
