Apparently the government only believes in pay caps for other people... http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/...nterstitialskip

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2009 -> 12:14 PM) I'm anxious to see what Carrasco nets and if he signs early or people wait out. I think it is a big mistake to try to wait out offers, as we saw last year. There is only so much money to go around, and after that, it becomes bargain basement shopping time.

It depends on the make up of a team. When you have other guys who can generate runs, it is OK. For a team like the Sox that live by the longball, it is a killer.

Yep. About the quickest review ever.

Challenge after taking a TO. He had better pray he is right, or he is just giving his critics more ammo.

All right. Tonight is the night they crank the offense back up!

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Dec 13, 2009 -> 10:31 AM) And your posts are helping? The point is that you are just as much a part of the problem as anyone else here.

Is that the CF Josh Anderson who played for ATL, DET, and KC?

The amazing part is that Kenny was able to turn all three of these flops into other players.

Two. Coming from a parent, all I can say is never get out numbered.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Ya I'm used to that... It was from the Gonzo article I posted bits and blurbs from. And yes, I expected this move. Santos really needs to harness that control in ST. Hopefully Coop can help him with that. I would say Hudson has to be the favorite, unless the sox will carry 11 pitchers, which is what I'm hearing they will probably do. Good to see we will get younger however. In a sense, if Santos makes the team, it would be our Rule V pick.

Nothing wrong with a vintage screen name!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) Brian Bass, Mike MacDougal and Jack Cust were all non-tendered. lol. Yeah, they weren't going to be paying Mike Mac $3 mil plus.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 07:42 PM) I forgot, Brett Gardner is GOD....Give me a break. He's a dime a dozen player that can't hit.... If they wanted a player like that, they wouldn't of traded Getz. And that is why you get a 12 page thread...

QUOTE (Ranger @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) I was kind of hoping they could keep him around, too. My guess is with the strength of the rotation, a reliever like him isn't nearly as valuable as he was last year when they had Colon and Contreras at the end of the rotation. Hey Ranger, any thoughts or knowledge of Sergio Santos having a chance at the team next year?

QUOTE (2OutRally @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 09:08 PM) Via Scott Merkin's twitter: Carrasco will pursue a team that gives him an opportunity to become a starting pitcher again, first and foremost. From Carrasco: "You want to be in a place where you are wanted and needed. The White Sox probably still wanted me but didn’t need me." If that is the case, good-bye DJ.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 05:36 PM) I dislike this, though it probably means Hudson will be the long man out of the pen. The interesting speculation I read somewhere (I honestly can't remember who) is that this opens the door for Santos, who is out of options.

I am still shocked. Of all of the things I thought I knew about 2010, DJ was in the top part of the list.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 05:10 PM) When will they report more on this subject? Carrasco has been non-tendered, full story above.

Fun night planned for tonight as I am going to be in the company of a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer on the radio.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2009 -> 01:54 PM) Five AP Reporters scoured the million words' worth of leaked emails and papers. They found pettiness, conduct bordering on unprofessional, rivalry, and suggestions of keeping data away from disagreeing parties. What they did not find, was any shred of evidence of any fraud, or anything illegal, or anything that would suggest actions which fundamentally changed any scientific outcomes. So basically, they found the scientists are human, and often petty and competitive, but not outright fraudulent. Article, from AP, syndicated to NBC. It still disturbs me that data was being kept away from the public eye - but aside from that, the rest appears to be just noise. There certainly is no smoking gun here, nor is there anything to lead anyone logically to believe outcomes were manipulated. Now imagine if this had been the Bush administration pulling a stunt like this...
