QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 09:16 PM) Podsednik sucks ( oh ya he is one of the best lead-off men in baseball... )... never really bashed the sox, alot of people said much worse than i did. I i do like the indians, i don't see what the problem is. I was the only one that could admit the indians would be damn good in 2005. Said their pen would > ours ( most people thought they would repeat what they did in 2004. Most os soxtalk also thought their offense would suck and they would not get near their 2005 numbers offensively... oops. There was nothing to update for a long time and then BOOM and i have not really had time. Updating a free agent list on soxtalk was not my main priority but i will try getting it updated soon. Ok, Mr. Pat myself on the back. You owe me a sig cause of our Cotts bet, you also said Hermy would suck so lets not get to full of ourselves.

Bump. On now, not sure when AJ is going to be on though.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 08:50 PM) I have barely been around give me a break. Last year i was on top of things before most people. You get no breaks.

You're just a little slow.

Julio has become one of my favorite players. The guy can still hit and he's very fun to watch.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 05:12 PM) You are redirkulous... :headshake I hate you too.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) I think Timo gets way too much hate around here. ^

I've never really had one favorite player, I have players I like better then others but when it comes to the Sox I've never had one favorite player. I'm weird like that.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 04:22 PM) He was a component of a solid bullpen. Your snapshot of Marte consists of blown saves and various forms of bed wetting. I believe his inconsistency was due to an injury more than mental problems. His breaking ball was consistently flat, and his delivery was ackward. If the White Sox felt it was injury related, and were unwilling to treat his trapezius issues, then perhaps it benefits us. But until information is released which indicates that, I'll continue to hold my position trading him for Mackowiak alone was unnecessary. More than any quantifiable reason for trading Marte (high whip, lack of control late in the year), I wouldn't mind keeping him as insurance. Can you depend on Hermanson, Cotts, Politte all posting stats similar to their 2005 totals? Bobby and Neal are pretty much sure things in my mind. Viz and the Duke are going to be pretty solid even though everyone hates viz though he was fine last year. Dustin is the biggest question mark obviously with his back so yes I'm definitely worried about him. Cliff I think will be fine as well as long as he stops throwing that stupid 2 seemer.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) Maybe I just undervalued Marte last season, but was he really a VITAL piece of our team last season? Really? He was a vital part of trying to blow that lead against Cleveland. The guy's mechanics are all f***ed up right now, he's giving away his slider, he's a headcase, and he can't throw strikes. He's done, he was awesome in 02 and 03, started to decline and 04 and was flat out awful last year. All I know is I'm happy he wont be trotted out there against a tough lefty in a tight game ever again.

Still a solid, solid pitcher. That's probably to much money but compared to what some guys have got that's not to bad. Nice move by the Kitties.

w00t, Tim Hummel's back.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:51 PM) Pablo is an absolute butcher at 3B. At the beginning he was a butcher there, towards the end of the year he played pretty damn solid at 3rd.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:33 PM) WTF? They already have Javy Lopez who is one of the best catchers in baseball. He'll dh. Got to love the O's though, they can't pitch so of course they add more hitting.

Love it. I think Damaso is done and Mack is a verstatile, solid bat off the bench.

Very interesting deal, Marte is a stud but obviously the Bosox just left themselves a glaring hole at ss. Another deal must be on the way.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) That's why I repeated the question. We still don'thave an answer. Ya, I'm actually a huge fan of Cat but moving Pods to center is a bad, bad, bad idea.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Look at the second post in the thread. Hmm, I missed that somehow.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 01:38 AM) Great idea. Now ... Where would he play? I was waiting for someone to say that.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:59 AM) He's not worth anything Good point.

SNB is a liar. Anyone with a lawsuit sue him.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 12:30 AM) Does this make Fuentes available at all? Or is he their closer? I honestly don't know anything about the Rockies, really. Fuentes has indeed become their closer and they're working on a long term deal for him.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 11:12 PM) El Duque? Well kind of. It's not like he's crippling us and atleast he has a role somewhere if we need to keep him. It was also a two year deal not a 45 year deal like some of these guys got.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 7, 2005 -> 11:03 PM) Alrighty, let's switch up some names here. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5148464 I'm wondering what Toronto is going to do with all it's 3B/1B types -- Hinske, Koskie, Overbay... Am I missing someone? Well if they didn't trade Hillenbrand then he's still there as well.
