Bruce makes a lot of sense with all of this, if this deal were to materialize it would take weeks to be finalized and if something were to fall apart the White Sox would be screwed. By that time Odalis would be gone and are options would be even slimmer then they are now.

Bruce: "Sox looking at Odalis."

LOL, Bruce getting a cell phone call, has to call them back.

FWIW, Bruce Levine says the deal is not going to happen, he'll be on espn 1000 at 10:20.

Rather give the job to Gload, Ross can produce as a starter.......

Good post Murcie.

Oh, I completely agree I don't want to see Jon go anywhere and I don't really want Damaso going anywhere either. If we're giving up Pauly and Damaso we better be getting more in return then Javy.

Wow, Rob would be an excellent pickup, imo. He can play a bunch of different positions and is a solid left handed bat.

Like Aboz said, go get Aj and then either get Polanco or Cora, also if something like this were to happen I wouldn't rule out Nakamura from Japan, anyways I think more realistic would be to get Cora in the deal with Javy and then sign aj, the offense loses some power no doubt but it would be an offense that could manufacture some runs and wouldn't be that bad, imo: pods cora rowand frank dye gload aj uribe crede That's definitely not a power lineup but it's pretty deep. EDIT: Ha, actually it was 3E8 not aboz would said that, I see the buehrle avatar and I thought it was aboz.

If it's just Pauly for Javy I do this deal in a second, no joke. Now, if it's any combination of the two I don't even think about doing it.

How do you know it was 3 years, 21 million???

4??? There is one real quality starter out there, imo. I'm still going to hold out faith that kenny fills this void but I'm not going to lie and say I'm optimistic about it, my hopes are dwindling everyday.

If we don't sign anyone, I'll guarantee you guys Cotts comes out of spring training as the 5th starter, he's head and shoulders better then Jason and Felix and anything else we can throw at him.

The thing that scares me about el duque is he spends more time on the dl then he does pitching, if the guy could ever stay healthy he's still a damn good pitcher.

You guys should read the article first.....Fathom, you twisted the words of the article a bit: The pitchers the Sox used in the fifth spot of the rotation gave up 55 home runs. Jason Grilli, who may go into spring training with the fifth spot to lose if the Sox don't sign free agent Matt Clement, gave up 11 home runs in only 45 innings.

^^Ya, that. He also wants 7 to 8 mill and if he were here his era would be over 6, he can go f*** himself as far as I'm concerned.

Cause he sucks..........

I'd rather have Grilli.

Could this mean there is more of a chance that Cora could get non-tendered??

No. Far from it, I believe.

You're a jerk cheat but a funny one .

espnnews???

Clement was there 2nd best pitcher last year.....

Sorry I didn't post this last night but I didn't have computer access that late at my dads house, anyways on Sports Nite on csn they had Barry Axelerod on and basically they asked him when Matt would make his decision and he said it could be within hours and that the sox are still one of those teams that Matt is looking at. Anyways take that fwiw, I really want to see Matt on the southside next year but I still think he's going to end up with Anaheim.
