This isn't going to happen unless I start hearing some suggested dates and locations. Not enough people have suggested those.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 12:55 PM) Hmmm. My interested is peaked. But are you guys ready for a drunk J4L? Is there another version of J4L I'm not aware of?

Joe's on Weed Street? It's a couple blocks from the Red Line.

If Soxfest shows up I'm thinking he'll come with a large picket sign with a Sox logo on it.

Oh

So I take it we're no longer making inquiries into Prince Fielder?

What would you guys like to see in return? I'd like a decent reliever and a sold OF but that's probably asking too much unless Dayan is packaged with others.

Olbermann's rant on Obama last night. Sorry but it doesn't look like there's an 'embed video' function on their site.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:15 AM) So this implies you should insert the biggest POS you can find? No but we have some solid pieces in there already. It's only December 8th for crying out loud.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:13 AM) I may be optimistic about certain things, but I am very realistic when it comes to handing out contracts and acquiring players and our payroll. We're going to lose a lot of games 9-8 this year when our bullpen consists of me, you and ss2k5 because we can't afford to sign anyone. But even if we spend a lot of money on a bullpen it wouldn't guarantee anything. Bullpens are typically a crap shoot.

Sorry Russ. Hang in there.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 11:03 AM) So...taking your own stance on things....it can't be said that JJ Putz was more concerned about what was good for the team, he jumped at the best offer $$$ wise. Is it only an issue when it relates to a move you wanted made? Good point. Why not be angry at Putz for not taking less to stay here?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) I feel bad for Greg Walker as he is really in a no win situation now. The White Sox line-up is potentially the best in baseball. He'll be fired after another slow April.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:36 AM) I'd rather focus the remaining energy and dollars on the pen, and go with what we have for the offense (except deciding the 4th OF slot - Lillibridge vs De Aza vs Gartrell). Sale, Thornton and Santos is a solid start, and you have to figure one slot goes to Infante/Bellamy, and one to a long man. That leaves 2 open slots to go get 2 legitimate strong bullpen guys. But right now Carlos is our everyday RF. Not only is his defense atrocious but he gets injured tying his shoes. Before the Dunn signing I thought he'd make a decent DH.

So now what the heck do we do with Carlos? The guy is Mr Glass from Unbreakable. He can't play RF everyday.

$1M in 2014 through 2020 might be the minimum salary in MLB.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:31 AM) Over 1 million freakin dollars a year? We'll be ok. Yeah I'm not sure I'd call that a legitimate concern.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:20 AM) and Morel replaces Teahan. QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 10:20 AM) Morel. Is that a lock or does he have to earn it in spring training?

So as of right now we have pretty much the same exact offensive lineup from last year except Dunn replaces Kotsay...right?

So Quentin is still the RF? Will he platoon out there with Teahen?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:51 AM) The deal is believed to be worth about $14MM per year, tweets Ed Price of AOL Fanhouse. Now, I hope it is closer to 12.5 than 14, but we'll see... It's around $12.5M as is but Paulie has an option to take over Roger Bossard's duties cutting the grass for an additional $1.5M per year.

Our lineup is scary.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 09:48 AM) I think it's irresponsible. Screw you, PK. Really? Why?

Hopefully Dunn doesn't crap his pants in Minnesota like the rest of our team typically does.
