QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 05:03 PM) Totaly agree. The Yanks have just as many question marks as anyone else. BUT, it terms of raw talent...Yank's question marks, or White Sox's question marks? I'd choose the former. Don't get me wrong, the White Sox rotation is nothing to scoff at. I have the yankees ahead of the sox for a simple reason........Randy Johnson, Buehrle is absolutely great but he's not the Unit. I have the red sox in front because of schilling and the depth they have with 6 major league caliber starters. After that, I rank the sox 3rd because after Santana I'm skeptical on Minny's rotation, Radke had his career year last year and I'm not that high on Silva and Lohse and Mays are garbage, imo.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:49 PM) Of couse they do. No need of mentioning. However, how could they have "more" question marks than the Sox? Well, like I said I have no problem with the way you ranked those rotations though imo I flip the sox and twins for now. Anyways with the yanks rotation you got pavano coming off a career year and switching from the nl to the al can he repeat what he did last year? Moose is coming off a injury and pitched poorly while he was healthy last year. Wright failed a physical and how's he going to pitch without mazzone? Brown is always injured. So the yanks have quite a number of ??? in their rotation also. Santo mentioned the ones with Boston's rotation. The question marks surrounding the sox are can Jose be consistant and can el duque stay healthy? All of these rotations have some questions, should be interesting to see how all of them turn out, jmo.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 10, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) My list. 1. Yankees 2. Red Sox 3. Twins 4. White Sox (We have a lot of question marks fellas, sorry.) 5. Angels I have no problem with that list but all the teams you mentioned have as many if not more question marks in their rotation then the sox.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 08:59 PM) Some analysts think Herm can unseat him for the 5th spot. It's Garland's spot to lose for sure. http://www.sportsline.com/mlb/spring/turfwars Some experts have 0 idea what they're talking about.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:41 PM) Really, 17-23? I thought I heard on the telecast Nessler or Vittell (sp?) say that they were 10-20 or something like that... Meh, probably heard wrong. Nah, you didn't hear wrong I believe Nessler did say that.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:40 PM) Outside of Sean May, it was just a collective choke. Many, many, problems. Rashad shot horribly, Felton played terribly, Marvin choked on the line, Jawad Williams didn't show up, what the HELL was David freaking Noel in the game for for the last shot. All of Duke's baskets outside of a layup by Nelson were 3 point field goals, ALL of them. No reason UNC should have even been in this game, but they choked it away anyways. Its gonna be tough for me to give a damn about colllege basketball for a while now. You'll feel better tomorrow Palehose. I was definitely shocked when Felton passed up the wide open lane at the end of the game--I was holding my breath there, didn't look good. I've never been big on Mccants and I would expect something like this out of him but Raymond I never expected it out of. Crazy game, fun to watch for me

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:35 PM) Well there has to be some reason when your best player is batting 7th when the team is desperate for offense. The fact is that it wasn't until Rowand gave him no choice did he finally put him at the top of the order. Now he wants to move him back to the bottom. Something messed up about that. Ozzie obviously thinks that's the best part of the order for him, I disagree but I do agree he shouldn't be hitting 1st or 2nd. There is no doubt in my mind that as of right now Aaron should be either 3rd or 6th in the order, Ozzie wants to use him in the 6th hole so be it, if he continues to rake and Jermaine faulters a bit I'm sure you'll see him switch the lineup a little. I know you love aaron but jeez ozzie doesn't have a personal vendetta against the guy.

QUOTE(Man Of Steel @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:33 PM) I just hope Digger will stop riding UNC's nuts now and just admit Illinois is the best team in the Nation Well.....as you guys know I hate UNC and Illinois but as of right now there is absolutely no way you can say anything but the Illini being the best team in the nation. That doesn't mean they're necessarily going to win the national championship but as of right now they are the class of college basketball.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:06 PM) Actually it's sad. It shows that Ozzie still carries a vendetta over AROW. He was hotter then heck and was still in the 7th hole. Ozzie needs to get rid of a jealous vendetta and put AROW where he belongs, which is the 2nd or 3rd spot. A place where he can carry the team. What the........?? Ozzie has a vendetta against Aaron?? Now I've heard it all. :headshake

QUOTE(whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 10:19 PM) Good game with an absolutely terrible final possession by UNC. I'm still trying to figure out why Felton picked up his dribble when he had a wide open jumper or could have penetrated. I'm with you but hell I'm happy he did that.

High OBP, High batting average, Good Speed, Good Power. He's a perfect number 3 hitter.

Dye will definitely be batting 3rd but I think it should be Aaron's spot until Frank is back.

Duke by 3. I think you get a very close game and obviously UNC is the more talented team. At Cameron I'm taking the Dukies baby!!!!!! That last part was for all you Vitale fans.

If you're asking who is the better center this year, the obvious answer is Z it really isn't close, however if you're picking a center to have on your team with those 2 all things considered you might take Eddie due to potential.

QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 03:11 PM) Can we upgrade to a monkey picking names out of hat for a GM?? IMO the monkey would do a better job. Your posts are so insightful, Anthrax :headshake

QUOTE(qwerty @ Feb 9, 2005 -> 02:52 PM) Wouldn't he have to only be in the league one full year? Super Senior slump

QUOTE(AssHatSoxFan @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) they nailed a from the corner 3-pt prayer to tie the game then a guy stole a half court in bounds pass tossed it up and sank it to win the #1 and 2 plays on sportscenter Ya, that was ridiculous. The three was basically thrown up with one hand and the guy who shot it could barely see the basket. That was an absolutely crazy way to end a game.

Honestly guys, just shrug these articles off. I don't even bother reading this stuff anymore, most experts aren't going to be high on the White Sox.....that's just the way it is. I just found it funny that Gammons found a way to mentioned the Red Sox in that article.

LOL, the article is on the tigers and the al central and at the end of it there is a paragraph on the red sox.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 07:28 PM) I love Dee Brown He's definitely fun to watch play.

Illinois is going to win.

QUOTE(Steff @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 04:43 PM) LOL Rowand.. GMTA!!

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 04:37 PM) You trade Lee + stuff I see you've thought this through :rolly

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Feb 8, 2005 -> 03:29 PM) Not sure where we'll be staying, but it will be in the Phoenix area, probably Tempe. We just drive out cause its only like a 4 and a half to 5 hour drive from where we live in California. Ahh, makes sense.
