I agree that you can't blame Jon but you also can't blame Kenny for knowing he's going to have to move on.

I'd rather have Baj or Tracey in the bullpen then Fogg.

QUOTE(TLAK @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 07:17 AM) Wow, the World Champions don't get any respect, even from their own GM, after they won 99 games and went 11-1 against baseball's best in the playoffs. What an incredible statement. It's very hard to repeat, period but especially when you come back with the same team. While I think we would have definitely had a solid chance to repeat, I'm much more confident now that we can win another.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:51 AM) sounds good to me, I still am thinking pr move. Spring training is already long and the drills and schedule are in place for pitchers and catchers. Maybe Jim is going to be the backup to the backup to the backup catcher I just don't think it is all that earth shattering. I do agree it is a lot better than the opposite and reinstills the image of a great team player. Ya, I agree with you about it not being earth shattering. Different players do this all the time but like you said, having it the other way would definitely not be a good thing.

QUOTE(quickman @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:44 AM) All this tells us is that Kenny has not gotten any bites that were good offers. He will hold out for more. People go down in spring training or early season. His cards maybe better at that time. I am sure he wants to unload garland but he has not gotten what he thinks is good trade material in return. The problem with this is we will need relievers in hte meantime. He maybe over budget and hopefully he will be allowed to start over budget. We will see. This is basically it. Kenny wants to get rid of Jon but once again for leverage you can't publically say you are trying to unload a guy. I believe KW will wait and see until he gets an offer that blows his socks off .

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 06:45 AM) If he is 100% healthy, a player with his resume doesn't need the extra spring training time. Nice pr move or hint of a slower recovery? I'm hoping its PR. After missing a full season maybe he just wants to get started early? EDIT: I meant to say after missing almost a full season.

He better score.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:52 PM) I watch walker texas ranger every day at five pm and i would like to know how it lasted as long as it did. It is so bad it's funny... which is my reason for coming back every morning. I love that show.

Is it on tv?

Duh, Ben, Kirk and Pargo all out there at the same time in the 4th quarter?? Someone explain that to me.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) Did they offer Weaver arbitration? Yes they did.

Once again I'm only getting this from reading through this thread since I don't watch the show but that sure looks like the carver with his/her mask off. I don't want to post the pics in here cause that would give away the surprise wouldn't it? If you guys want me to I will though.

TIA. Those are pretty much spoilers, no? I don't watch the show or follow the season but it sure looks like that would spoil the surprise.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:51 AM) Yeah, I got the impression that as a 27-game holder, we'd be very lucky to get any extras at all to the Cubs or Opening Series. But at least we get a pre-public shot at some other games we want. And we might get lucky on the big series. Hopefully there will be a few left for opening day for us split holders.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) Beat you to it, Row. Eat your Wheaties. I can't, I don't want to open my Buehrle box.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:42 AM) Give us one more witty, insulting name variant for Perez for the road, won't you? Damn you addy.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) Nothing could be more tiresome than seeing Timo Perez leading off for your favorite team. What's more tiresome is seeing every member of the team get a clever nickname like jizz or el puke or dumbasso, etc.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) And Soxtalk has officially run out of whipping boys. To many good players on this team.

:sleep :sleep :sleep :sleep

QUOTE(GreenSox @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) If Blum cost a prospect, Willie could bring one. Willie's better than Osuna. Nah, Osuna was a pretty solid bullpen arm in his time here. Now Ozuna, I think he's a better overall player then Willie, better hitter imo even though Willie is more patient. The thing is Pablo can play almost anywhere and Willie refused to play ss in winterball.

Anyone else worried about Chisoxfan14?

....and all of soxtalk rejoices.

QUOTE(JimH @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 09:35 AM) Daily Southtown reports that the next White Sox announcement may be Contreras' contract extension. Cowley indicated talks heated up Monday afternoon. You made me feel much better. Hopefully it happens, like I said earlier I really want Jose back here for the next 3 years, the guy is just going to be a flat out stud imo for atleast the next 2-3 years.

Hopefully we can get something done with Jose, he's a guy I definitely want to have around for the next few years. Whoever said trade them both I completely disagree, unless we acquire another good starter you have to keep one of them and I prefer to keep JC.
