QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 9, 2005 -> 12:09 AM) It makes sense though. Give Scott a day off against a tough lefty, makes perfect sense to me actually. With Ozuna getting a start in left, it looks more and more as if Timo's days with the Sox are numbered with Frank coming back.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 5, 2005 -> 10:01 PM) In other news... Maddux is getting touched up by the D-Backs. 5-3 D-Backs in the bottom of the 5th. He has already served up 2 homers to Luis Gonzalez. Gonzalez now has 9 homeruns in 96 at bats against Maddux. Excellent! (said while tenting fingers)

MILWAUKEE -- Ladies and gentlemen, your 2005 Chicago White Sox. Following their Saturday exhibition finale against Milwaukee, Chicago made a flurry of expected roster moves to complete their Opening Day roster, purchasing the contracts of Pablo Ozuna and Chris Widger, optioning left-hander Kevin Walker to Triple-A Charlotte and placing Frank Thomas on the disabled list. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 08:52 AM) And with the way Pablo Ozuna has been playing, it looks more and more like we need a backup 3rd baseman to cover Crede's sorry ass. Rob Mackowiak anyone? We'll take him!

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Mar 15, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) What do we do with him once Frank is back? Super sub? Or trade him? or what? This is why when Frank comes back, Timo has to go. We can't have Timo taking AB's away from Carl. Carl as the fourth outfielder can spell each of the regular OF's once a week as well as DH once in a while.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 14, 2005 -> 12:35 PM) Field 07: Fields at 3B, Uribe at SS, Igs at 2B, Gload/? 1B, AJP at C, ARow at CF, Sweeney at LF, Anderson at RF Casey Rogowski may very well be the first baseman in '07.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Mar 10, 2005 -> 01:00 PM) Joe's consistently a slow starter but seems to rise to the occassion when there's more at stake. Joe seems to do well after the team is already out of the playoff race. He's been declining over the years instead of improving. He's very slow with an uppercutting swing, just what the Sox are trying to get away from. Joe seems to be a human sleeping pill. He just brings everybody down with his loser body language. I don't think he has the heart of a champion. I used to be high on Crede, and I hope he can turn it around and become the player he seemed like he would be when he first came up from AAA. But he's had his chances, and I don't think he should be guaranteed a starting job unless he is impressive this ST. So far, he's not.

I remember that game. In fact, I graduated from Grammar School that day. I could swear though, that home run went into the upper deck in left field. Anyone else remember that? BTW, Sparky Lyle was one of the best relief pitchers in the game at the time. When he came in to close out a game, it was considered almost automatic.

Once Frank comes back, there is no room for Timo on the Sox. Everett will become the fourth outfielder with Harris able to back up at CF in emergencies as well as being the backup 2B. Either Ozuna or Valdez will be the utility infielder, and I understand even Ozuna has played outfield before. If the Sox can find a taker for Timo and his $1million salary, they should trade him.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jan 30, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) How would this make sense, we'd have 6 starters. Maybe if Gooch is going to play SS, moving Uribe to 3B and putting Willie at 2B. Still wouldn't understand having 6 starters though, unless we can pawn off Garland on another team and get a 3B in return. How about a three way deal with the Angels? Dodgers get Crede, Angels get Weaver, Sox get Chone Figgins. Don't know about the Dodgers or Angels, but I'd do it in a heartbeat.
