Getting Bobby Jenks was the steal of the century (so far) for KW.

Ozzie seems to know what buttons to push with these guys. If he thinks Uribe can handle the two spot, I'm sure Ozzie feels he can guide Uribe into being a good number two hitter.

Here's our backup for Crede.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) McCarthy and the AA team for Willis and Cabrera. I am not joking Not enough. You'll have to throw in Jenks too.

Everyone keeps saying they won't move BMac. I sure as hell hope everyone is right.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 11:04 AM) Considering all the clamouring for Burnett on this board back in May and June, I specifically remember being told he was so much better than Contreras, its hard to believe anyone would think his new contract is anything but a bargain. Things change. Think about what Burnett was did in the first half vs Contreras. The second half was totally different.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) If pro is the opposite of con, is progress the opposite of Congress? Trite, but I think it applies here. Politics. Poli = many tics = blood sucking parasites Therefore ....

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 6, 2005 -> 06:47 AM) So I'd thought it'd be good to come back to this thread now. At least it's good to see Rex did actually make it back before the season ended (that's if the Bears will actually play him). Bumping the thread fto bring back that post was pointless. He's still saying the same thing every day!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 05:44 AM) I don't think he's been good for the last couple of weeks, but we've owned him twice now this season, which hopefully bodes well for the future. He probably needs another good WR though. Amani Toomer ain't really gonna get it done no more. I don't know. I saw the Giants-Seahawks game and that Eli-Tiki-Plexico trio looked pretty dynamic to me. I haven't seen the Giants but for that one game. Yet, everything I read is that Eli is rapidly getting better from week to week.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) You dont think Don Cooper and the minor league manager had more to do with that than Hermanson.......... Of course they did. Still, Hermie was constantly talking to Jenks about his mindset and how to approach being a ML closer.

QUOTE(LDF @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 02:28 AM) can someone tell me what he isn't really an option if we can't get mueller. The Sox are trying to add a lefty backup for JoeC.

QUOTE(toasty @ Dec 5, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) mebbe he should take 53 then, reverse of 35 Apparently, he added his two preferences together. 35+20=55

He's expecting a 7 year contract. It ain't happening on the south side.

timotime ... I have made sure that last post of yours will be brought to the attention of the admins. Your best bet, at this point, is to shut up and hope for the best.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 08:20 AM) I just read in a NY paper Washburn is rep'd by Boras. He is looking for $9 million a year for 5 years. Well, that explains a lot.

I'm going with the Longhorns.

All those crazy contracts are coming back to haunt them. Good! The assholes skewed the market for so many years, now they wallow in their soon to come self induced mediocrity.

QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) I just feel like people who'd bust someone for copyright issues might have bigger fish to fry than a bunch of us Soxnerds sharing baseball highlights. Until I read about the Soxtalk Piracy Scandal in the New York Times, I wouldn't worry about it. Unless it's the Sox who'd bust you, something I don't envison. Why would you alienate diehard fans like that? Wouldn't be Brooks Boyer's finest marketing hour... I just don't get it. If it was your ass on the line, then you just might get it.

QUOTE(JUGGERNAUT @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 12:41 AM) From what I've read there are two reasons why Iguchi is being moved out of the #2 spot: 1) His speed was not as advertised. Like Castillo of the Marlins he lost the zip. Neither of these guys are 30 SB guys any more. 2) Ozzie knows he took the bat out of Iguchi's hand many times last season. He's confident that if Iguchi is allowed to be a hitter in those ab's he's going to be produce better numbers. There's all this talk about Pierre & Pods becoming FA but so what? What's the most you are likely to pay for slap hitters who can steal 50+ SB a year? You do not have to pay for power or rbi's from these guys. The #2 guy will still be curbed by the priority of moving Pods into SP. On the flip-side if Pierre does find a power stroke at the Cell then wouldn't a guy with that speed & that power be worth keeping for the White Sox? I think so. See Furcal.

QUOTE(GasHeGone @ Dec 4, 2005 -> 12:41 AM) Your videos were great, 3E8. Can I ask exactly why you were barred from distributing video of the White Sox magical 2005 season? Does Soxtalk not want Sox fans to share the love? Or are they feeling a little self-important in their need to enforce some obscure copyright law about distributing video? We can only speculate... Obscure copywrite law? Get real. Would you risk your freedom, or a big fine?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 3, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) Still waiting for the name change for this forum: Sex, Lies and..............uhhh...........and............ Sex, Lies and Your Favorite Bad Movies Sex, Lies and Other Random Stuff Sex, Lies and Keep Yer Politics To Yerself That last one ...hmmmm ... not bad.

QUOTE(timotime @ Dec 3, 2005 -> 08:21 AM) i believe he was born and raised on the south side as well Oak Lawn, iirc.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 3, 2005 -> 06:51 AM) but teaching the little girl the proper way to cope with that anger is the important thing. Nothing positive came from the girl's letter being published. It was expressed that the girl never should have had the thoughts in her head. That was the only point to which my post was relevent.
