QUOTE (beck72 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 06:27 PM) I'm going by Kenny's comments late last year talking about guys who "quit". I bet Alexei was one of those guys he was talking about, as his body language and play in Aug. and Sept. certainly looked the part. There were few guys Kenny could be pointing the finger at and he certainly won't ruin a guy's trade value by berating beforehand. Teahen may be "penciled" in now at 3b, but I think a better glove man is out there, such as Beltre or Figgins so the sox can move Gordon to SS. But your talking trading Alexei and signing a guy like Orlando Hudson for 2B, who had lost his job by season's end. You better with Alexei then without, I just don't see it.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) A few things struck me reading that article. 1] Jordan Danks may be closer than most people think. But he still shouldn't be counted on for the top of the order. If he comes to Chi. in 2010, it will be to hit near the bottom of the order. Thus, the sox need to acquire a leadoff hitter, as they don't have one in the system. 2] Getting a guy like Orlando Hudson makes a lot of sense to play 2b and hit leadoff. I don't buy into the sox moving Beckham to 2b and learning another new position. Gordon's bat is going to be critical to the sox success on offense. 3] If Teahan is better at 3b than Gordon, then I could see Gordon moving back to his natural spot at SS. 4] Gordon at SS means Alexei could be dealt. Alexei could then bring back a key bat and pitching help. IMO, the next big move is Alexei being dealt. That would pave the way for Gordon to move to SS. Then the sox could sign Hudson or less likely, Figgins. The sox would have to move a salary like Konerko's for them to afford Figgins. No way do they trade Alexei.

Get it done Kenny.

Hermida is completely over-rated. Is this what's going to be all offseason? X team is going to trade X player, lets get him.

This isn't the official MLB AL ROY is it? I hate all these different awards for the same thing by different sponors.

He wants to be a starter or closer....

Have you seen Atkins #'s? Down right dreadful....

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Sep 27, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) If you're Mike Rizzo, why would you accept garbage for argubly your best offensive player? I see him demanding at least 1 premium prospect if he's going to give up Adam Dunn. Because its the Nationals.....

Rather us trade some garbage to the Nationals for Adam Dunn for our DH.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 23, 2009 -> 04:27 PM) 2-8. Winner!

Don't worry, nothing will happen.

Thanks for the update...too bad Saturday isn't on WGN since I'm likely to get the Phils/Mets/Yanks as my Fox game.

QUOTE (DaveBrown85 @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) why is lillenbridge in? Pods pinch hitted for Nix.

This game feels like another Red Sox scoring in the bottom of the 8th, and Pimplebum closing it out in the top of the 9th.

Ha...you guys actually though we would do something clutch with 2 outs...when will you learn.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:26 PM) Might as well trade him right now.....as soon as he throws a pitch thats not a strike, you'll start hearing "fans" say he sucks and is worthless. No that will be next season. This season when he throws a non strike, we'll be calling to shut him down. Get it right.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 10:14 PM) As long as this attitude permeates the fan base, we will never win another world series. You can only hear "you suck" so many times before you buy into it and thats all this team heard all season long. With the attitude of our fan base, I'm amazed this team is over .500 as is.....they overperformed when you face the facts. However, if they were supported day in and day out, they would likely be 20-25 games over .500 at this time (and about ready to clinch a playoff spot) Then player better. I don't get paid to be a fan. They get paid to play.
