QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) If the Sox sign Myers, who will have an avatar like this with a Sox hat on it? lol, I was wondering who would be the first to throw that picture in this thread.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 07:39 PM) Why do we need another leadoff hitter? Why not have another speedy leadoff type who can help you manufacture runs when your sluggers get shut down. Scott was the only one who could literally manufacture a run by himself last year, wouldn't it be nice to have another guy who could do that in a close game? Remember the team went absolutely down the tubes last year when scotty went out and I know it wasn't all because of him but a big part of it was because of him. Add Pierre and all the sudden this team can manufacture and slug away with the best of them. That would be a pretty damn versatile offense.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) That is an average of $15 mil per year. Try again.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 07:25 PM) I never said it did but what would be wrong with a .355 OBP and great speed from the two-hole? Nothing is wrong with it, it would be something very nice to have.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 07:00 PM) Why do people even want Pierre.... We are going to have a total of 3 HR's from our 1-2 hitters..... Sure hurt the marlins in 03...

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 06:23 PM) If I didn't know better, I would think that someone recently told Offman that PK is coming back. He thought a decision would be made before Friday. He also said that Thome talked to him on the phone. Offman said that he thought a decision would be made before Friday? Anyways, at this point I don't think anyone knows what the hell is going on, to be honest.

Farns was actually real good last year. That is a lot of money though and I dont think NY is the place for him.

QUOTE(Fingish @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) Only replace Marte if you are getting something pretty damn good in return, when he is healthy and on, he is a huge asset. Ok, so when he's on he's a great pitcher...that's fantastic. One problem, he's not on that much anymore. He started to pitch pretty poorly at the end of 04 and it carried on through last year. The guy isn't the same anymore, I wish we could get the 03 Damaso back but it's just not happening.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 05:10 PM) Well, if nothing else, last year he had games where he was just as dominant as he was in 2003. All he was doing different was following through on his pitches nad throwing strikes. That's a big difference. There is something wrong upstairs with him, he's a headcase right now. Even that solid game he pitched for us in game 3 he was walking the world. He started to decline in 04 and continued that in 05. There is no doubt that the guy was absolutely fantastic and lights out in 02 and 03 but he's not the same guy anymore.

I'm getting Jenks and Bmac authentic jersey's. Besides that, a lot more Sox memorabilia. I'm usually very excited for the holidays but this year even moreso cause there is so much I want.

I just dont hold the same level of confidence that some of you do that Damaso can bounce back. The guy started to decline in 04 and just was flat out awful last year as well. There is something wrong with him even though his stuff is still there, there is something wrong upstairs. He's finished, imo.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) \ I would expect maybe 1.7-2 mil a year, maybe more(could be off) He'll actually most likely get even less then that. Fantastic post, I agree with every single word of it.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) If used correctly( which I think Oz would in this case) Myers and Ozzie were made for each other.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) On the Score, George Offman is saying that the backup plan to losing Konerko could be Troy Glaus or Hank Blalock. Looks like they want someone who can play 3B and 1B. Crede's back must not be too healthy. I don't think there is any doubt that the Sox are worried about Joe's back. Troy Glaus would be a great backup plan to Paul imo, Hank Blalock....meh.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) Post 49 in this thread has a statement that Uribe K's too much. I don't want to butcher the cut/paste, so I'll just refer to post 49. Oh, my bad. You quoted my post so I thought you were referring to something I said. I apologize.

Rest them. As cool as it would be to go undefeated..winning the superbowl is the only thing that matters. One injury during a meaningless game and all the sudden there goes your shot at winning it all.

QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) I still think it will be Juan Pierre (who I don't want on the Sox). And for people saying Uribe K's too much....SO DOES IGUCHI! Who said Uribe k'd to much? Iguchi gets on base at a better clip then Juan and he also can control the bat much better then Uribe. I love Juan but he can't handle the bat, he has no clue where he's trying to hit the ball half the time. He's just not a good 2 hitter.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 12:47 PM) who hits number 2 because i have a feeling it's not gonna be Iguchi this year. It'll be Iguchi unless Owens is somehow the starting cf which I highly doubt or if we trade for a 2 hitter. He's still a much better option then Juan.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 12:42 PM) My Ideal Lineup for next season: 1. Pods LF 2. Uribe SS 3. Thome 1B 4. Thomas DH 5. Iguchi 2B 6. Dye RF 7. Crede 3B 8. Pierzynski C 9. Anderson CF I would rather spend money on Frank and strengthen the bench than pay Konerko $14 Million now that we got Thome. Sign a good bench player like LeCroy or trade for Stairs. Both of those can step in if Frank gets hurt again and they both have a lot of pop. Uribe is way, way to streaky to hit 2nd.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 09:41 AM) The only thing that scares me with Boston is them screwing up the asking price. I really dont think Paul has any desire to play for Boston,and thats why im not taking the O's rumors to heart. However, if Boston does unload Manny to lets say the Mets, then Boston goes ga ga over Paul, even if Paul doesnt want to go there, if Boston makes him an offer of 5/67, it could screw everything up. I guess we will just have to wait and see..... Agreed 100 percent here. Paul will not go to Boston but they could drive up his market.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 08:41 AM) http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam/Baseball/MLB/Tor...328885-sun.html Ridiculous. Giles is definitely worth 11 million imo, but for 5 years?? Come on now.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 01:40 AM) All I need to know is who would play 3rd base. That's a ridiculous trade proposal. I wasn't even looking at the trade proposal that was made, I was just answering his question.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) So basically its come down to us and LAAAAAA going to try and outbid each other. Suprise, Suprise..... who didnt see this coming? Steve Phillips.

This thread is an attempted jinx, isn't it?
