QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:24 PM) Do you understand how waivers works? Most likely it will be for a PTBNL with prospects going later on. I do, apparently you do not.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 02:19 PM) Waiver Wire Trades. August 30th. Understand now? If Scott or Laroche could have been had for cheap it would have already happened so you're making no sense. And the only chance we have to get Laroche now is if the DBacks literally want nothing in return which just isn't the case.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) Just like we couldn't add Peavy and Rios last season because of "payroll flexibility." LOL, tell me another funny one...... My god, we had plenty of money to work with last season, adding Peavy and Rios is what made us not have the flexibility to add a higher priced dh.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) Is that you Jerry? Are you physically paying $8 million dollars? lol, you do realize that adding that 8 million dollars does limit this teams flexibility to make other moves?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Jackson isn't a great move. If he stays, it does give us a MUCH better chance at reaching the post-season, and it adds one more pitcher in depth that could actually start a playoff game...as great as Freddy has been, I'm assuming nobody wants him starting Game 4 in NY or Tampa Bay. And at this point nobody wants Edwin Jackson starting that game either.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:35 PM) Let's bring up another name. Daniel Cortes, or we can add Tyler Lumsden in for good measure. I remember when he was supposed to be around a Top 45-55 prospect in all of MILB. Hudson never came close to that level with most talent evaluators, let's be honest. You're trying to argue that KW does a good job of pitching evaluation by bringing up the trade for Mike Macdougal?

QUOTE (WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jul 30, 2010 -> 12:33 PM) I like this Jackson trade. He's got great stuff and he's 26. He's not as bad as his ERA indicates. 4.27 FIP, .318 BABIP. His fly ball rate is only 30%. People overrated Hudson on this board, he was a no. 3 starter-at best. People can say that Hudson is overrated all they want but the point is that this is an extreme over pay no matter how the f*** you look at it and there's absolutely no denying that. This trade blows.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) Dont worry, you just prevented another perfect game from being recorded in just a ridiculous year. Haha. Well, the bad news than is that he still proceeded to throw the no hitter.

In my softball league tonight, I ended up ruining my pitchers perfect game when I made a throwing error at 3rd base. I really f***in suck at life.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 27, 2010 -> 03:17 PM) Or that they're not foolish enough to think they can win this year or next year without a 5th starter. Winner. The only way Huddy is getting traded is if we have another deal to bring a sp over here.

The Upper Deck is just fine to watch a game, not sure why some people have a problem with it. The only downside to it is that unless you have season tickets you don't have access to the lower concourse and what not.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 11:10 AM) I may be the only one, but I am not a fan of going 12 deep on a roster. I think it screws the minutes up for the better players. Here is what I predict for the minute distribution this year: PG: Rose (35 minutes), Watson (13 minutes) SG: Brewer (30 minutes); Korver (10 minutes); FA or Johnson (8 minutes) SF: Deng (33 minutes); Korver (10 minutes); Johnson (5 minutes) PF: Boozer (35 minutes); Gibson (13 minutes) C: Noah (35 minutes); Gibson (10 minutes); Thomas/Asik (3??) I just don't see how the numbers align with all this depth. I would much rather have eight strong player than 12 above-average players. Taj deserves 20+ minutes per game easily, but if he does, Asik/Thomas get nothing. You can't take away from Noah. Gonna be some minute problems. No, I completely agree. What I'm saying is that there's a possibility that Johnson and Asik can earn there way into the rotation taking some minutes away from Thomas and well not sure about Johnson but you get my point. And if they don't, well no big deal.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 12:05 PM) I just don't see how the Sox would be able to justify Kotsay's presence on the roster. Grindy.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) I wouldn't trade Floyd or Danks straight up for Fielder. Ditto. Fielder just isn't going to happen imo. At this point the only 2 real chips we have are Dayan and Flowers. Beckham isn't going anywhere and at least to me(which means nothing but I think Kenny feels the same way) Huddy became untouchable the moment Peavy went down with his injury. Laroche and Luke Scott definitely make the most sense right now.

Assuming we sign another wing, the beautiful thing is the depth this squad is going to have. Our 11th and 12th players are going to be guys with some potential who can possibly earn themselves more minutes and if they're not ready to get consistent playing time this year, well it's not too big of a deal because we wont need them much anyways. I really am loving this team. Just get me one more wing.

QUOTE (ICP! @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 08:08 AM) A trade for Fielder today would be right what the doctor ordered. I just need some kind of big splash to get the juices flowing. Kenny, just make a balls out move dude. You know you have it in you. Prince has the potential to become a mega star in Chicago. You really want to deal with the disaster of not having a 5th starter again?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) PG Rose/Watson SG Brewer SF Deng/Korver/Johnson PF Boozer/Gibson C Noah/Thomas/Asik For missing out on the big 3, the Bulls have seriously done an outstanding job of putting this team together. I would love to add one more shooter that can play the 2 off the bench and I'd be quite happy. I'm really starting to love the make up of this squad.

Huddy is untouchable at this point imo.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 21, 2010 -> 11:20 PM) Why the hell do they need to go with a committee. They have a guy with closer experience, great stuff, and sick numbers this year. Hopefully not naming Putz the closer isn't just one of the Ozzie says something, and then immediately puts Bobby in the next save situation to prove a point. We have had people lose their jobs over performance for all of what 10 minutes before they are put back in the role. Putz should be the closer. End of Line. Putz is too damn valuable to have him just closing games at this point. If he's available in the 9th inning then he better be getting the ball, but if there's 2 on in the bottom of the 7th and Miguel Cabrera is at the plate then JJ needs to be used in that situation. Closer by committee is the way to go, not because Putz hasn't earned the opportunity to be the closer but for the fact he's just too good to only use him to close games.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 12:01 PM) That argument is weak, is based on pure superstition, and doesn't hold any water IMO It's not based on superstition, it's based on the fact that batting lower in the lineup might be relieving some of the pressure from him and helping him get back into a groove. If he continues to hit like this for a few more weeks then you think about putting him back up there but for now, leave him as is.

No biggy. At least when we sweep the World Series this year we can win it at home.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 13, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) Korver just had his press conference. He said he as in contact with Boozer previous to signing and that he has been texting Ronnie Brewer to come and play in Chicago. He jokingly said "Were trying to start the Chicago Jazz." If we do get Redick, the last 2 pieces I'd like to see the Bulls add are a backup PG (Livingston) and a defensive/athletic 2 guard (Brewer). PG - Rose/Livingston SG - Redick/Brewer SF - Deng/Korver/Johnson PF - Boozer/Gibson C - Noah/Asik That'd be a really, really good team.

2 weeks isn't enough to prove to me that Beckham is back and certainly not enough to throw him in the 2 hole again. Leave him where is and hope he's actually starting to get back on track as a major league player and not just having a hot 2 week stretch before he goes back into a funk.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 12, 2010 -> 08:11 PM) I still like the derby but it just takes so dang long. Skip the second round. Everyone hits, top 2 advance to finals with a clean slate. I watched the first part of it cause I'm in a homerun derby pool. Once Cabrera was eliminated, I changed the station. I guess I just can't get into it.

The homerun derby seriously bores the hell out of me.
