QUOTE(timotime @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 05:43 PM) if a player is not on the white sox, i hate them. so i hate ARod. Hate is a strong word, dislike is the proper term.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 03:52 PM) It has been said Anderson has a better arm and more range in CF. And should hit for more avg and with more pop. You hit it on the head. He does have more range and a better arm. He doesn't need to play real deep like Aaron does.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 04:51 PM) People that hate a-rod simply because of his contract need to be slapped upside the head. It's not like he doesn't go out there and bust his ass every single game. Sure... he disappeared in the playoffs the last two years. But where would the yankees been with slightly less production from their three hole hitter? Home watching the first round on t.v. People forget , Kenny W. was gonna offer the world to this guy, but they snubbed him. Cant blame the guy for taking what they offer.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) I grew to like him. I didn't at first but in the end i thought he did a good job. He is way more hip than Dave Wills. So I guess this means that Mike North will be doing the Pre & Post for the Sox. UGH. I wonder what Bryan will do if Notre Dame plays Miami because that is where he went to college. He'll do his job and root for the Irish, but deep inside he's wanting the Canes to spank them hoosier boys. Yes , Mike North sucks.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Nov 14, 2005 -> 03:19 PM) I'm still worried about Farmer being the play by play guy. Agreed, I wont tune in the radio to listen to that guy. John will be missed.

QUOTE(toasty @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 11:34 PM) Yeah, i thought he had worked with hagin in the sox booth before i remember when farmeo joined.. i was like.. who is this clown? Im still asking myself that same question, something years later. He's still a clown... gonna miss Rooney big time.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Nov 13, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) Do we have any guys who are ready to replace Garland in the rotation? No. Do we have any guys who are ready to replace Rowand? Yes. Great post

Not likely to happend.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) No, I'm not saying that at all. I'm giving you aomething to put some perspective into this discussion. Guys that come up from AAA and just rake during their rookie years are rare. I'm also not saying that Anderson doesn't have a higher ceiling than Rowand. I'm talking about 2006. I've been watching this game for a long time and I've too many "can't miss" rookies "miss" terribly. The odds of Anderson matching Rowand's 2005 numbers in 2006 are slim. Good point, were still waiting on Rowand to rake (even though he came up from AA). Actually when Reed was traded, there was a article in BA and quotes from several scouts and Sox scouts on how Anderson was actually better than Reed at that time, and would of surpassed him as the best prospect by the beggining of that following year. KW is no dumb ass, he got something that was and will be valuable for us in the long run.

Canes win 47-17... Damn 1st game of the season vs FSU , they gave that one away and it will hurt them. Should be playing USC for National Title... best Offense vs best Defense.

Nice find, actually intersted to see his motion. Still allot younger than Takatsu when we got him. I say go for it.

No wonder he said he gets a better read of the ball in CF? Rowand plays a deep center , so he gest to allot of balls in the gap... but he was one if not the worst CF's trying to get those gimme loopers in short CF. That drove Ozzie Crazy all year long, he even reinstated that in the playoffs when Rowand was plying to deep and let potetially tying and winning runs on during each playoff series. The bottom line is that Abreu gives us much more than Rowand will ever give us. If it takes for Rowand to go to get Abreu.. like DJ says it best.. Bye , bye... cya Rowand... give me Abreu any day over Rowand.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) No, no he can not. Yes he can... he actually reads the ball betetr from CF form what he said in a interview. Played a Solid CF for the Brewers.

QUOTE(Felix @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 04:20 PM) For this team, Rowand is a better fit. We had problems scoring runs as it is last year, do we really need another leadoff hitter? Rowand dint light up the offesive stats... He is solid on D, but if any player is trade bait, it is him. Pods can play a very good CF himself if needed.. Abreu would be perfect for the Sox, and if we keep Paulie , we would be a much better team ten fold than with Rowand.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 03:42 PM) Personally I'd rather bring in Delgado as opposed to Abreu. But when it comes down to Ozzie; Abreu - Venezuelan, with great speed and defense Delgao - Puerto Rican, great power, good D at 1B, no speed take any of the Latin players, you cant lose with them. Thome shouldnt even me mentioned for the White Sox... he's washed up.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) Yeah, that was nice, but this is nicer: CHICAGO WHITE SOX - YOUR 2005 WORLD CHAMPIONS Attendance problems in trade for world title? I'll make that trade 11 times out of 10. Good way to put it, we... will still have a great time with a packed house

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) What do you expect of the big, young, 6-5, 240+pounder, lefty from Indiana? Really, really like this kid. Could he be a good one? Havn't looked at him closely... what does this kid pocess?

QUOTE(Whitesoxfan56 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 10:09 AM) I like this game...since were talking about fantasy lineups heres mine I like yours but here it goes Pods-LF Pierre-CF Abreu-RF/DH PK-1B Dye-DH/RF Iguchi-2B AJ-C Crede-3B Uribe-SS not a bad line up

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Nov 10, 2005 -> 02:13 PM) It might be a tough transition year for the Bulls, especially with struggling to find an insdie offensive presence..... Chandler has no skill at that end of the floor whatsoever, maybe Sweets can emerge.....anyways, what I'm trying to get at, we are looking at 2 first round picks next year, 1 of them WILL be a lottery pcik form the Knicks. Thanks Isiah. Here , Here.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Nov 12, 2005 -> 07:31 AM) I've said on numerous occasions, that I want to see Frank back here, if he wants to play, or just to retire. It'd crush me to see him play anywhere else. With that being said, I'm not the least bit worried. same here.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Nov 11, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) If the Phillies were willing to trade Abreu for Wells, and it was the Jays who turned it down because of the salary, it means the Sox would have a good shot at Abreu for Aaron Rowand straight up if they were willing to take on the salary. I think it's worth it. Ill take that in a heart beat... its a no Brainer.

Congrats Frank.
