QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 02:57 PM) Please, someone build me a business case of why in hell we would supplant probably the best defensive SS in the AL for Alex freakin Gonzalez. I want Juan at shortstop next year, trust me, and replacing him with Alex Gonzalez would be retarded.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Hey SSI, read this article, analyze the numbers, get back to me, thanks The truth I think we found the way to get Rock angry.

QUOTE(SnB @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) why do some people feel a great need for such company loyalty? I enjoy ea games, but i also enjoy 2k games as well......i've seen way too many nerd fights over this. whoever comes out with the better product, i'll buy. This coming from the biggest nerd of all.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) Sorry if this is elsewhere, KW leaning toward Gload as plan B ?? http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sox10.html I'm personally a big fan of Ross and would have no problem with him starting at first if we added a top notch dh. That being said, imo Kenny is just saying that for leverage in the trade market, he doesn't want other gm's to believe that he needs another first baseman. I would highly doubt Gload is our starting 1b next year.

QUOTE(Fingish @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) hmmm, what guy is #4 on that list, would probably only cost $2-$3mil this season, hits lefty, and would be able to bat leadoff, while staying within the "Ozzie Doctrorine" of getting someone with speed? We tried the Lofton thing once and it didn't work, it's not going to happen again. He did have a very solid year last year but that was mostly being in a platoon role.

QUOTE(easyw @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) PK should get 3 years at $50 million. Anything longer or for more money is just not worth it. Long term big money deals always turn out to be bad for the team. If he won't take $16.5 million/year, with a 3-year guarantee, then he's not worth it. Let him go to NY and endure the media circus.. Put Dye at first, put Anderson in right, give Garland some more cash and let the chips fall where they may. This is one of the more insane things I've seen people think should be offered to Paul.

IMO you can't change qb's in the middle of the season with a first place team but that's just me.

Oh man, I can't wait for this.

Those penalties would be perfect imo.

Congrats Ozzie, you deserve it.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) I'd be pretty happy with Matsui and Overbay. They combined for 42 homers this year with a better combined average this year than Konerko and Everett. I'm sure their power numbers would increase by playing here, but I guess that's still a pretty big drop off in power numbers. But more rbi's. I know Matsui played in a loaded yanks lineup but the guy is a rbi machine, great situational hitter. EDIT: Looked it up, combined overbay and hideki had one more rbi then paul and carl. I'm just a huge fan of Matsui would love to get him, still think it's a pipe dream.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 11:24 PM) Had Francouer played the entire year in the majors, he would have won it quite easily. Full season his numbers project to around .300, 30 HR and 105 RBI or so. IMO he'll be a much better player than Ryan Howard. I disagree as well, Howard is going to be a flat out stud.

Sports are my life so that doesn't count as an addiction right now since it's always an addiction. Anyways, I've been pretty addicted to cooler ranch doritos and cinnamon poptarts for a while now.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 10:14 PM) Oh, so Magglio is evil too? Okay, let me add that to my list... Valentin... Lee... Ordonez. I have great respect for both Jose and Carlos, Maggs I no longer have any respect for off the field. That being said Maggs is a better player then Paul, not even that close imo.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 01:22 PM) I would have to go with an all Big 12 flavor. I think Oklahoma are the biggest pretenders, and Kansas who is unranked some places will end up with a solid, possibly sweet 16 team, they are loaded with freshmen and sophomore talent. Completely agree on Oklahoma.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) Kenny's is more impressive right now but these votings took place before the first round of the playoffs even ended. I didn't notice this at first. Taking that into account I can see how it was a toss-up between the two. Putting together a 90+ win team with $40 million is comparable to making the sheer number of moves that Kenny did to build a division winner with his budget in my opinion. The thing is it's executive of the year, it's not who put the best team together overall, Shapiro made a great move with Millwood but what after that?? Kenny got Scott, Tad, Jermaine, Aj, Duke, Hermy, Viz, plus 75 percent of group four.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 03:21 PM) Reporter: "What have you ever done for TO besides getting him kicked off the Eagles?" Rosenhaus: "Next question." (T.O. is cracking up in the background). There is NO DOUBT that is my new favorite moment in a press conference ever, and it's not even close. Whoever had the balls to ask that question should get some sort of award.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 12:02 AM) I think they'll end up doing all the teams. It's pretty easy to cringe at watching him do the teams I despise; it's going to be even worse when we have to see him f*** up his impression of KW. I think they're doing only 5 teams: Sawx, yanks, cubs, dodgers, stros. I think, not sure about that.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 8, 2005 -> 12:08 AM) Okay, I can't justify this at all. I can justify us not winning an MVP, ROY, Cy, or GG, but this is ridiculous. KW, call the cops, you got robbed. Agreed here. Kenny did maybe the best job of all time reconstructing a team in one offseason, he's the man and the exec of the year, I don't care what sporting news says.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 11:55 PM) Via Reifert: http://whitesoxpride.mlblogs.com/ while MLB's season highlight video for the Sox should make its appearances on store shelves in early December. Both will make great stocking stuffers. There ya go.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 7, 2005 -> 11:53 PM) This statement just reminds me of the whole world and the White Sox. I maintain that you're spoiled.

I just think it's to hard to run the table, so I'm going to say they lose to either the steelers or sd, I think they'll get by cinci. I've been wrong about them all year though, they're definitely impressive.
