Willie was greatness. Lee was understandable to let go. I still think if Ozzie let Brian play with full confidence, he would be able to replicate Aaron. As far as Damaso, I'm going to blame Ozzie for fkn that guy up. He was dominant before OG came around.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Jul 22, 2007 -> 11:24 AM) Willie was a good hitter throughout his minor league years, so this comes as no surprise. Means a team like the Braves knows how to put its players in the best position to succeed. Or they at least do a much better job of that than the Sox do. I'm not going to say Willie is a world beater, but if managed correctly, he could be a useful guy.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jul 14, 2007 -> 11:45 AM) Gah, I'm so torn. I want a ps3, but I dont want it. I'm afraid if I get it all it's going to do is collect dust, like my Wii, until MGS4 comes out. I could wait a month and buy Madden on ps3 along with GTAIV, and basically play Ncaa08 and halo on 360 and madden and gtaiv on ps3. I'm not really sold on Haze yet so that doesn't really excite me. As someone who owns both a 360 and PS3, the 360 is the one collecting dust. Got both at the same time. 360 really doesn't excite me. In fact, if someone robbed me of it, I wouldn't even realize it until maybe years later.

Bill Self is a recruiting genius!

One of the most overrated players in Chicago history IMHO.

Apparently there's a list of amateur players that the White Sox scout yearly out there. Anyone know where I could find that list?

I'd love to see Dukes on the team. O-Dog too.

I'm not down with trading Garland at all.

I think you're overrating some guys on this team.

Expected. Congrats.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 29, 2007 -> 09:57 PM) They could really set themselves up to be a MAJOR player for the West if they can handle things right this off-season. Garnett would be a major target obviously, but I also think they may make a run at Rashard Lewis. They could also offer Monta Ellis and a future first for Yi (assuming Mo Williams leaves the Bucks). How would a lineup of Davis, Jackson, Lewis, Al Harrington and Biedrins with Yi, Beldrelli, Matt Barnes on the bench etc. look? Pretty dangerous. Also if you're looking to acquire a big on the cheap, go after Patrick O' Bryant. He's got no future whatsoever with the Warriors while Don Nelson is there, and he could be had cheaply. The Warriors could need a backup PG such as Chris Duhon if Ellis was traded for Yi, so you could maybe try to work a Duhon for O'Bryant deal with other pieces included. And how do Portland look right now? They're going to buy out Stevie Franchise (oh how the mighty have fallen), Darius Miles will probably retire, and they're loaded at a lot of positions, especially at the PG with Jack, Sergio Rodriguez and Petteri Koponen (I think that's his name?). Add in Brandon Roy, Martrell Webster and Rudy Fernandez at the swingman spots, with Aldridge and Oden down low, man oh man are they loaded. Duhon wouldn't get any burn with the Warriors since he can't shoot and that goes against Chris Mullin's philosophy.

Haven't followed this thread much, but I heard that the Dodgers will be looking at him now since negotiations have broken down. I must say, even though I'm not a huge fan of Mark, the fact that a NTC is the sticking point if pretty fkn stupid IMHO.

Damaso > Mackowiak. I've said this since we traded him away too.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 28, 2007 -> 09:26 PM) Did anyone else laugh when at tonight's draft Julian Wright answered a question about picking KU over Illinois with "To Do What's Best for My Family"? Lol. He really didn't like Illinois at all.

He'll be good for selling jerseys for his first few years, then selling cars in Neveda like Ed Obanon.

I say we riot.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Jun 25, 2007 -> 03:42 PM) Ron Schueler built a "strong" farm system? Not sure I agree with that, especially with regard to pitching. Maggs and Lee turned out ok.

Even worse, it's Kenny's fault for fkn up the drafts.

The worst thing about that whole thing was Hawk showed more emotion than the whole Sox team combined all year.

QUOTE(Soxfest @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) I do not get CSN tell me how Hawk is doing on this! He's like "That's just BS." He might have a heart attack.

Ozzie's such a puss now. Jay Mariotti made him soft. START A f***IN FIGHT

Should've never fired the last guy then if you're going to pull the same ole bs. This guy might actually be worse.

QUOTE(FlaCWS @ Jun 24, 2007 -> 11:52 AM) I didn't see this posted here. Maybe I missed it. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...T-sox24.article I just don't see how or why you trade Buehrle. Man up and pay the man what he deserves. Period. I would be contacting every team in baseball about CONTRERAS and VAZQUEZ right now. Everyone talks about how they were signed so cheaply... well we know the reason for that, but maybe there's two sucker GMs out there so desperate for starting pitching that they'll take these medicore guys and their salaries off our hands. Then we'll have plenty more cash to put toward Buehrle... and Garland after that. You build around young pitching and with those guys and Danks, we have some good ones. You won't get much for either one, plus doesn't Jose have a no-trade clause?

I rather see him on the Yanks simply because Red Sox fans piss me off.
