Poreda sure looks like the real deal

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 08:34 PM) Chris Young is like 4 times the player Jerry Owens is. probably 100 times. Jerry has yet to show the ability to be a major league starter. Chris young shows flashes of being a mlb superstar

Apparently in my opinion no longer holds weight here. I prefer my women to look like women, not 12 year old boys. That is all.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 02:26 PM) Leave it to nerds on this message board to call Kate Hudson "beyond ugly." She's no supermodel, but that's a stretch. But you're cool though, you've got pictures of random girls you find on the internet as your avatar... ladies' man! Uh ok Steve-o did someone pee in your cheerios today. IMO shes beyond ugly, sorry bout it. And if you'd prefer, I can post pictures of actual girls I date as my avatar and see if the nerd connotation sticks.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) would you say troy glaus is an accurate career projection for josh? i think its fair, but i think josh will hit for a better average, but in general pretty similar type player.....fields's swing sort of reminds me of phil nevin in his prime Thats a pretty good assessment. I was thinking Zimmerman with more power.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) 17 in 277 at bats...he's pretty much on that pace already. he improves at the plate everyday. I think .270 35 hrs and 90 rbis is a possibility next season.

Fields will hit 40 hrs if given a full season of work. Book it.

fields 2 run bomb to take the lead

is jackson really throwing 98-100 mph after 100 pitches?

please please please let Eggy develop into an ML-er for next season.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 02:18 PM) No more pitchers...lets get a SS/3b of the future.... With a #1 or #2 pick in the draft, we could have an arm that would be ready to contribute as soon as late next season A La Andrew Miller.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) Alvarez is the best player in the draft, and it's not even close. Really? I have seen him ranked around 4-5 on several sites since I just began searching

So we want to draft a 3B? i would prefer a pitcher than can contribute in 1-2 years, or a middle infielder.

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 01:35 PM) lets go go go drays...we want pedro alvarez!! who is that?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 01:13 PM) My wife's theory is that he's probably still not over Kate Hudson breaking up with him for Dax Shepard. Shes beyond ugly IMO

Since I have had season tickets (5 years) this is BY FAR the least amount of games I have been to.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 11:29 AM) As much as I like Young, we're going to need Javy to anchor the middle of the rotation after Jon leaves (which could be in less than 12 months). Yup. Hopefully our new top draft pick next year will be both high-priced and highly talented.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 07:43 PM) Duque is 9-4 with a 3.07' Vizcaino is 8-2 with a 3.66 Chris Young is 23 years old. He will eventually get on base more often than Jerry Owens, and he can drive in a run once in a while. He's far and away a better player than Owens. Yes, but at the time it was the correct move.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 27, 2007 -> 08:49 AM) Perhaps someone can explain this to me... If a player like Gonzalez is not part of the long term plan, which it seems he isn't... and you have guys like Sweeney, Bourgeois and even Collaro in the minors who MIGHT be part of the long term plan... and what you are looking to do is inject some new energy and get a look at some younger talent... why on earth would you NOT bring someone like that up instead of Gonzalez? Is it an Arb clock thing? Because I think Sweeney's has already started, yes? Or am I misunderstanding? And aren't guys like Collaro and Bourgeois going to be exposed next year anyway? Is it that the 40-man is full (in which case, why not put a couple or three of the guys you KNOW won't be around next year through waivers)? Is it that I am missing something, or is the organization just hesitant to do that sort of thing? They are probably waiting until the rosters expand.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) Do you watch the games at all? yes, and hes been much better than expected. Do YOU watch the games at all?

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 11:01 AM) That's Brendan after attending the David Boston school of football excellence. Because he works out?

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Aug 26, 2007 -> 10:41 AM) Yep. From what we've seen of Fields at third, Gonzalez has to be better there defensively. Both of them would probably be in the lineup today anyway, so let's see if Fields can play LF, while Gonzalez improves our defense at 3B. What do you mean. Josh has been solid at 3B.

Richar is our ledoff man in 2008 unless I tell you otherwise

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 25, 2007 -> 02:11 PM) That's what everyone said about the 05 White Sox, 'lucky', but that didn't kill our buzz any, did it? A lot of things have to fall into place for a team to win the WS and luck is one of them. LOTTA baseball left to play this season. Chill out, me thinks you'll be smiling in Oct. We were wire to wire best team in the division, won 99 games and ran 11-1 through the playoffs. The cubs are 4 games over .500 in the worst division in baseball and have zero chance at 90 wins.

Once again hes a casual cubs fan who never knew much about sports.
