QUOTE(Cali @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Oh yeah, he's DEFINATELY signing somwhere else now that the initial report has been denied..... most likely with our luck but u cant exactly blame the sox if it happens. this was leaked out from one of dotels relatives. its not like it was from within the organization like with vizquel

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 17, 2008 -> 10:37 AM) Hey, he's cheaper than Juan Uribe! Boy oh boy that would have been a decent insurance policy/reclamation project. ..i never thought about that... he would be more useful than uribe and for a million dollars less!

2-9, 6.45 in the n.l.? no thanks

QUOTE(iamshack @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 10:16 AM) AM 1000 making Colon signing with the White Sox somewhat imminent... what did they say in the update? nevermind, just heard. "bruce levine is reporting the sox are looking at rhp bartolo colon"

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 14, 2008 -> 10:46 AM) 3 things. One, you replace them in the 2009 draft...and 2, you look to the guys you have remaining, like Broadway, Egbert, Sisco, and 3., you try to see if they can't work things out somehow. Here's the other question...what happens if we spend $8 mil a year or so to bring in Colon or Garcia, then both Danks and Floyd wind up pitching well enough for the first 2 months. What do you do when Garcia or Colon comes back? Demote a guy who's done well for you? its good to be prepared though. we dont know how theyre going to do.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Rolen stays healthy, is productive. Do the Jays have any 3B prospects in the next 3 years that Rolen would be blocking? im sure playing on turf will enhance his chances of staying healthy

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 10:27 PM) I've posted in other threads that I think an incentive laden deal would be fine with me. Low risk, high reward. i agree. we need to sign someone like colon, freddy, etc. if both floyd and danks blow then what do u do?

QUOTE(Brian @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) Are Cub fans still waiting for Angel Guzman to become an ace? good, that theyre not getting roberts. they dont need another second baseman anyways and soriano only wants to leadoff

QUOTE(max power @ Jan 13, 2008 -> 12:45 AM) Billy Koch. Hands down, by far. ^^^^^ felt sick to my stomache everytime he came in for a save situation.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 05:28 PM) I'm series, if Kenny makes a Konerko for Santana and Figgins trade, I am done as a White Sox fan until after we finish behind the royals and Kenny Williams dumbass is fired. yea, they better get more than that for him!

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 09:51 AM) What time is the deadline, anyone know? Midnight tonight? 11pm

QUOTE(Hatchetman @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 09:47 AM) We spent $50 mil more and got three more wins. THEY give out stupid contracts? i guess those are great moves than meche, guillen, silva for 10+mil a year.

QUOTE(BaseballNick @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 09:15 AM) KC was in on Fukudome too. We're being outspent by the Kansas City Royals. Yes, those Royals. sure theyre spending more than us this offseason but u cant compare them to us. theyre payroll is 50-60 mil, were at 100 or so. plus they give out stupid contracts. meche 5/51?, guillen 3/12mil per, now silva?

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 08:36 AM) Is it me, or with Jones signing with the Dodgers, what teams are courting Rowand now? Isn't it just us? lol bcuz no one wants him bcuz he isnt a difference maker. let him go to kc

QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ Dec 6, 2007 -> 08:07 AM) Let's think about this for a moment. Did KW act too quickly in trading Garland and signing Linebrink? It seems like he now only has half of his plan completed. Would he of traded Garland for an established player if he knew he would wiff on Torii and Miggy? My guess is no. If he knew these events were to unfold, would the Sox have made a decision to rebuild? Does anyone else think KW is half way into a plan that is not feasible anymore? funny, i was actually thinking just that this morning when i heard the dodgers got jones. that the garland trade for cabrera and signing linebrink are pointless now unless he makes a big splash. if he had known that he would miss on hunter and miggy, i dont think he makes those deals.

QUOTE(Vance Law @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 07:13 PM) Tigers possibly looking to deal Dontrelle per Rotoworld. Your complaints that Williams should have done that will be dumb emotional ones as we couldn't compete with Maybin and Miller. is miller even the real deal? he was horrible when i saw him pitch last year

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:36 PM) I am tired of it. I posted this same type of reply to something on the board. We hear it every year. We will spend the money to build a winner, but we only see the opposite. ^^^^^^^^ i cant believe im saying this, but mariotti is right. all kw and them do is talk talk talk

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 04:37 PM) What would it take to get this guy? Here is our solution to our leadoff spot and 2nd base. Perfect fit. If we trade for him and sign Rowand I would be very happy. Do we have enough to offer to get both him and Bedard like the Tigers did with Cabrera and Willis. This would be a better fit for the White Sox if they could pull something like this off. I would be absolutely ecstatic if they could get either or both of these guys. i dont get why everyone wants rowand. 4/55 or more, not worth it. id prefer fuk/roberts. neither will happen though

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:52 AM) With Miggy to the Tigers, the Sox need The Jesus to win the division next year; DeJesus won't get them there. thats true... dejesus wont get them there but neither will rowand. might as well try to get younger, start thinking about the future.

QUOTE(southsideirish @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) Zito and Zambrano are pitchers and Soriano is not a LFer, so it can't be compared. Ichiro (5 for 75) is far and away above Hunter, yet Hunter got paid like Ichiro. Vernon Wells is better than Hunter as well and 3 years younger. The Angels indeed ruined it. im not talking about the market for cfers. meaning, the market was ok until last offseason. thats when everyone started getting 15+ mil a yr

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:56 AM) If we want their prospects for a gold glove 3B with a great bat then we must be rebuilding. I am not real pleased with what has transpired this off season with the Sox. We hear a lot about all these so called plans that management has and they keep changing every time we lose out on impact players. Now we stand to lose Crede for prospects (the return obviously being just a guess)? it sux. other teams have just been more agressive than us. we were ever so close to getting hunter and miggy. its a whoooole different story if we had miggy,hunter,quentin, cabrera and linebrink. supposobly so close to having that but oh well i guess.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) Technically speaking this deal is not a done deal. 99% likely to happen so you never know. how great if it didnt happen lol. they just agreed to the deal. physicals werent even done yet. willis or someone fails it, the deal doesnt happen. wishful thinking though.

QUOTE(bschmaranz @ Dec 5, 2007 -> 10:40 AM) Unless the Angels are really interested in bringing in Rowand too, I don't think the market was set based on one team's overspending. Not really a valid argument. wasnt it the cubs that ruined the market? after soriano got that contract then ichiro got that contract, wells, zito, zambrano..
