QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) I'm guilty of doubting this whole team. I'm ashamed of myself for being so negative during the tailspin in September. I'm just glad they made a fool out of me in the end. I remember someone said that he didn't even want the sox to make the playoffs at one point.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 04:44 PM) The Snb and greasy show will never be matched. That show pretty much sucked, not gonna lie.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Zoom no offense.... even though Randar can be a jackass sometimes he is one of the most knowledgable people when it comes to the minors for the White Sox and Rowand was really lousy this season..... For people that have actually seen Anderson they know he is a better defensive CF too.... Anderson isn't a better defensive cf then Aaron. Brian's good but he's not better, anyways if a trade came along where we could get a big bat with Aaron being the centerpiece I'd definitely do it and let Brian play CF.

QUOTE(Steff @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:39 PM) Perhaps he'll want to play with a team with some recient post season success... Astros?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:29 PM) I'm sorry, but even a very reduced salary for Carl just is still going to wind up being like 5-10 times what Anderson or Borchard would make for the same role. And with at least Anderson being a better defensive replacement, I just can't see that making business sense. We're talking about being a dh though. I still think Brian is starting in center here next year or someone else just don't see him back in aaa and I definitely don't see him as a backup. We'll see what happens, I'm just saying it wouldnt completely surprise me if Carl was back next year.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:24 PM) I think we have plenty of backup plans available as minor leaguers, whether it be Joe Borchard, Brian Anderson, or one of the speedy guys. Once again if Frank is brought back with his health concerns I highly doubt that Kenny relies on Anderson or Borch to be a fulltime dh if something happened to big Frank. We'll see but I'm just saying it wouldn't surprise me to see Carl kept as a bench player and the backup plan to Frank just in case for a very reduced salary.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) I have to disagree there. I honestly think Carl's done here, whether Frank's back or not. Thank you for your services though Jurassic. You certainly did your part in getting us that ring. Well, if Frank is brought back Kenny is going to have a backup plan as well, it might not be Carl but it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 02:16 PM) Is there anyone on here who believes that Carl Everett will be a White Sox next year? My best guess is that his situation depends on the Frank situation. If Frank is brought back I believe Carl will be as well.

Kap, ban yourself for making this thread.

QUOTE(Wedge @ Oct 31, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) What about bringing in Cal Eldred for help in the bullpen as middle/long relief and mop-up duty? He pitched pretty well for the Cardinals last season. I think the duke is going to be our long man in 06. I expect our bullpen to look something like: Bobby, Neal, Cliff, Dustin, Duke, Myers/Eyre, then maybe Viz.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) Contreras This thread shows just how reactionary people can be. That thread is pretty damn funny.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 11:30 PM) the tribe I think. Correct.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 03:54 PM) It's comments like these that drive me bananas. Yes, there is luck involved when you are a pitcher. But whether a hit ball or not becomes an out is often due to the pitcher hitting his spots and setting up the hitter. Sometimes hitters hit good pitches hard or they bloop them for a base hit, but hitting the proper part of the strike zone and keeping hitter's guessing accounts for more than pure luck. Anyone that doesn't get this, just doesn't understand baseball. Or at least hasn't pitched. I'm sure he was generalizing there, but let's not be afraid to give the pitcher a little credit when ratios improve. Strikeouts and walks are not the only part of an at bat a pitcher controls.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 03:28 PM) I'm smelling tie. ^

I'm smelling tie.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 03:18 PM) All you have to do is return it to the 30, pick up a few 1st downs...Hanson=game over :sleep

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) yay for losing a huge nfl division game becuase of a coin toss You got so much faith in your great defense don't you?

If I'm ever in Ohio for some reason this is something I definitely want to do.

Wow, that was f***in ridiculous.

RIP

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) B.J. Ryan.... No need to spend big money on a reliever when the bullpen is already so solid, I still really want to see Mike Myers on this team next year to replace Damaso.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 01:56 PM) http://www.minorleagueball.com/story/2005/...2/50#commenttop Neal has to deceptive of a fastball to regress a whole bunch. When hitters can't pick up the heater out of his hand like that it's going to be hard to hit him. I'm not a huge fan of the whole k/bb ratio. I would like him to cut down on the walks a bit but I really don't care how many guys he's striking out. Long story short, I think Neal is and will be one of the best relievers in baseball for a while.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 01:05 PM) PLEASE DONT LET BRADLEY BE HURT TO BAD That'd be a big loss now that he is emerging as a solid #2. By the way... f*** TURF That looked pretty bad, hopefully I'm wrong.

QUOTE(SnB @ Oct 30, 2005 -> 01:03 PM) his contract ends at the end of next year, IIRC Correct.
