If by ace you mean best pitcher in our rotation, then Buehrle is our ace. If by ace you mean a dominating shutdown pitcher, then Buehrle is NOT an ace. Johan Santana is a dominating shutdown pitcher. Buehrle gives up far too many hits, doesn't strike out enough batters, and depends far too much on the defense playing behind him. Buehrle is a great pitcher and a massive workhorse but he definately isn't in Santana's league.

This argument is so lame.

All the Sox players feel about the same as we do... Thomas gone, and Sox happy all around Players wish ex-teammate well, glad he's far away in Oakland http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...t=.jsp&c_id=cws

My true colors are black and silver... not red and blue.

Are Coco and C.C. from the hood as well, playa?

Frank is easily worth the risk. If he plays the full season, Frank will only earn $3.1 million at the most and the A's will be happy. If he gets injured again and barely plays, the A's will only be out $500,000. That's chump change. If Frank stays healthy for the entire season (big if) he will probably be the best signing of the offseason, similar to the Dye signing of last offseason.

Beat me to it.

Making fun of the French should be politically correct.

Would David Eckstein at 2B be Getz's ceiling?

At the very least, we still need a TE. Pro Bowler Desmond Clark isn't the answer. :headshake

Haha, so true. Every year they are supposed to be awesome and every year they suck.

He better throw a lot of curveballs and changeups and not that mostly straight low-90's fastball. Frank would rake that thing.

Well, normally I would say that Desmond Clark must have sold his soul to the devil but even he was shocked that he was named to the Pro Bowl.

Strange, I just thought he was a minor league roster filler. I hope Phil Rogers isn't just overhyping the guy though. It would sure be nice if he fills the void of Chris Young.

Grooming his goatee?

Herbert Perry is still a free agent and he could play some 3B, 1B, and DH!

They should win that division.

:puke Timo is too busy looking for a Japanese team to sign with. He is consulting with Jose Macias right now. Seriously though, I think Gload would get the call once again.

Handling Sox with care Thome, other players on the mend, won't be rushed in camp http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...ack=1&cset=true

Saying goodbye to Frank wasn't about loyalty, it was about health.
