QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) Excuse my ignorance. But, two things: 1) Does someone wanna tell me where we might get that money. 2) What about Kenny's homeboy Mr. Uribe? We're going to have a s***load of money to spend in the offseason and not a whole bunch of holes to fill. Tony, good point about a 3rd baseman but I do think you'll see the sox in on Furcal because he's become a very good shortstop this year(errors are way down) and he can absolutely fly, fits into the whole ozzieball thing. Just a hunch but I think you see the sox go hard after Furcal in the offseason.

Pitchers duel?

To be honest, I'd be shocked if the sox aren't big time players in the Furcal sweepstakes.

I didn't even know the vma's happened until I read this thread. After reading this thread I still don't care

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) How can you possibly say we got the better of that deal? Koch screwed up our bullpen for two seasons and now he's out of baseball. Foulke saved game 4 of the world series last year. In the long run, we still got one of the worst trades in Sox history. This year we've got the better of the deal because Cotts is way better then Foulke. For the past 2 year it looked like an awful deal.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:13 PM) maybe just for sept then, but I knew that he said he wanted 3 Ya, he was talking for september. Get aj some rest, be able to pinch run for aj, etc..

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) Ozzie wants 3 catchers, and I bet we carry 12 pitchers, but thats a guess. I highly doubt we wouldn't carry 3 catchers all season and then the playoffs come and then we add a catcher?

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:59 PM) I can, he's comfortable playing in Cincinnati and he gets to spend spring training with his family. I'd love for him to come to Chicago, but Griffey Jr. is by no means the enemy in this situation. He's busted his ass for years, and I'll still root for him no matter what happens. Right. I feel weird saying this but I guess there are things more important then baseball . Griff is from cinci and I'm sure he's just really comfortable there. I'd love to have griff as well, I'd love to see Jr. win a world series but he has his priorites and baseball obviously isn't number 1.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:53 PM) Rowand, my heart skipped a beat. I got scared that I got on your bad side... I'm dead serious... LOL, nah, I have a good time debating back and fourth with you on different things.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:48 PM) I believe Mark Bellhorn's .328 OBP would rank higher than everyone else on the team besides Podsednik, Iguchi, and Konerko. Complete bulls*** here, why don't you look your s*** up before you post, unreal. Garland, el duque, and Politte also have better obp's.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Koch for Foulke is still the worst trade of Kenny Williams' career For the last two years that trade sucked, this year it's been absolutely awesome.

Welcome back Scotty, we definitely need ya.

D'angelo f***in Jimenez. I hated that guy so much and yes I mean hate.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 03:07 PM) Do we have 39 or 40 on the 40-man now? Should be 39.

Baj might not have the best stuff in baseball but the guy can pitch...he knows what he's doing out there. He'll be a solid reliever(not a stud) somewhere in the majors whether it's with the sox or not.

About f***in time. Welcome aboard Jeff

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:09 AM) I would think if they are discussing the team and possible personel moves, it would mean a lot that he wasn't mentioned. People shouldn't waste their time listening to Bruce Levine. He is the ONLY person who has this deal anything but dead. Ken Rosenthal was on the Fox pre-game Saturday and he said there was no chance Griffey was going anywhere. His track record has been far better than Levine's. I agree about Bruce and Rosenthal, I'm not listening to Levine about anything, I also don't think anything is going to happen. However just cause Ozzie said publically that him and Kenny didn't talk about Griffey doesn't actually mean they didn't talk about him.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:07 AM) Was the Anderson move official yet? Maybe they changed their minds based on Crede not getting healthy? Either that or they will be swapping Bmac for Crede when this move becomes official. Unless Bmac takes Adkins spot and then just stays with the team...who knows, I guess we just have to wait and see.....

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 11:02 AM) Guillen said he talked to KW about the team for 2 hours on Saturday, and Griffey was not even mentioned. That means nothing absolutely nothing..... EDIT: Let me add I also don't think Griffey is going anywhere but just cause Ozzie said him and Kenny didn't talk about him doesn't mean anything.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 09:27 AM) In high school, our spanish teacher had us watch a tape of a bullfight and she talked about it as though it were some glorious, respectful event. Those people are cowards. They throw spears into the bull, and a lot of them at that. The bull is riddled with spears, almost collapsing, barely enough energy to make a meek effort to save its own life, when a "heroic" matador stabs it in the neck. This I completely agree with. Bullfighting is retarded.....

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 29, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) If someone can please post what's said (by Levine) ... much appreciated. Those stuck on a 2 hour teleconference would like to know! "Hi, I'm Bruce Levine. According to my sources the White Sox have had interest in Ken Griffey Jr." That's about all he'll say.

QUOTE(WSNS-TV44 @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 01:06 PM) Oh,man!!!! Bobby is a keeper!If you can throw 100 or 102,that's Nolan Ryan-like stuff you possess!But now this creates a debate. Hermanson or Jenks? No debate. Hermanson is the closer now and Bobby is the closer of the future, period.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) They still have the option of putting Anderson on the playoff roster thanks to Frank's injury. Jas, are you sure about this?? You probably know the whole krod situation better then me but I do remember that happening. I was just putting 2 and 2 together and thinking Frank's injury gave us a loophole, I wasn't sure though.....

Once again as far as the playoff rosters go I think we have a loophole with Franks injury, hence the Sox not putting him on the 60 day dl yet. Someone's going to have to find out the exact rule on that but Krod did get on the playoff roster because of someone going on the 60 day dl a few years back during the angels run.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 28, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) Most would be more than half. I'm not the only one who believes he is overrated. That's fine if you believe that, that is your opinion and you're entitled to that. In your post it seemed like you were trying to state it as a fact.
