QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 02:35 PM) Because you can get some of the top guys in all of MLB at other positions...and save yourself like $8 million a year in the process, by trading him...if the right deal comes along. Not really. If you're getting a top guy back at another position, you just open up another hole, you lessen your defense at a very important position, and if that guy is good enough to warrant Crede in the trade, he's probably going to cost at least $8 million a year as well. QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 19, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) That is a serious hypothetical situation. I think that every one takes Crede's defense for granted because it has been there for so long. The guy saves 1 or 2 hits almost every game. Crawford would make our lineup ridiculous not only for his speed, but his defense, arm, and OBP. However, would you say Crawford is one of the top players in his position (OF) in the game? I dont know if you could put him in that category. You could put Crede in that category, which makes him a little more valuable IMO. Also, I still thin kFields needs to be eased into the majors, he is not ready to just be placed into a starting role, especially at the hot corner. Exactly. Crawford is really nice offensively, but he's not going to save as many runs or hits on defense as Crede would. Again, it's also easier to find an OF than a great 3B. Not a good 3B, a great one.

The thing that pisses me off about Buehrle that he admitted that there was a bit of a hangover from last year and some guys weren't as into it as last year. Personally, I'd see if I could get Zito before I decide to use the option on Buehrle if that's possible. Actually, I'd love to see two lefties in this rotation though.

Well that was one good thing on one crappy night.

If only we got the basehit before the HR.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) You're right RBI's are an insignificant stat for a power hitter. RBI's say more about the players ahead of you getting on base and in scoring position than you as a hitter. OPS% and OPS+ are the best ways to judge a hitter IMO. You don't have to agree with it, I personally don't care. As long as a guy is getting on base, he's doing his job.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) When is hte last time he's gotten a big hit? Check his stats with runners in scoring position with 2 outs. I bet it's not even close to fantastic. As long as his Slugging % and OB% are great, he's doing his job.

I predict a weak popout or a typical groundout.

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Sep 18, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) Hit a homerun Jim. It'd be nice for you to make an appearance...We haven't seen you since July. Yeah, because he hasn't had over a 1.000 OPS since then, right?

I hope someone is jawing at Ozzie right now for his piss poor strategic moves.

I love Frank, but I'm going to agree with witesoxfan. Thome > Thomas for us this year.

Honestly, if Uribe isn't here next year which I think is 50-50, I think you'll see Alex Gonzalez playing SS. I'd be happy too because I've been a fan of his and Luis Castillo for a long time. Apparently, so is Ozzie.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) Walt Hrniak was brought in last year to see if he could get through to Uribe. He used a leg kick mechanism, and it kept Uribe back instead of lunging at the ball. It worked through September and the playoffs. Then Greg decided that he should ditch the leg kick, and go to a spread stance like Pablo uses. Because he thought the leg kick didnt do a thing. Now Uribe is hitting .230ish. Can we get Walt back to give Uribe another lesson in the leg kick, and tell Greg to help someone else. Yeah, wasn't it Frank who brought in Walt to help Uribe out?

I'm going to agree with Mariotti on this one. You don't talk about no-no's or perfect games. Fans should know or find out by themselves like I had to. He should've ripped ESPN too for cutting to the game.

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) There goes the perfect game and no hitter. We should have the win Wait what?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:56 PM) Freddy Garcia=Trash f***ing figures. Lemme guess, we scored 3 runs in the first, he gave up 4. We scored 4 more in the 5th and he gave up 5 the next inning. WAT A PIECE O CHIT!!! Where's Charlie Haeger when you need him?

I just got home. I didn't know the game started already. Someone wanna give me a recap and score?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 04:48 PM) Im still thinking about opening a Sonic in chicago, there is already built in marketing. Build It, And I Will Come!

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 05:14 PM) Sorry but that was all on Ozzie... you know BMAC struggles with runners on bases... so why in the hell do you put him out there with the bases loaded... he's just not cut out to be a reliever... he needs to get into the rotation RIGHT NOW! Take someone else like Garcia and try him in the pen... Um, no. McCarthy has sucked out of the pen. Outside of a 5IP effort, he's sucked all year. He's easily the most overhyped, overrated guy in anything related to "White Sox".

Mikayla?

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 7, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) You're asking a baseball fan site to name your child? No he and his wife decide the name. We're just giving him ideas based on what he was looking for. It's no different than finding a name in a book.

Oh yeah, Ariana and Adriana

Anastasia Alysa

For a guy who's considered a stud by many around here, he hasn't showed it in the least bit IMO. That includes that 5IP or w/e it was last week. Overrated he is.

What's up with Ozzie actually using our good relievers?
