QUOTE(RME JICO @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 02:09 AM) Taken from TalkBears: So from 1 inning of work, in which he struck out 2, walked 1, and gave up a HR, we've concluded he has some of the nastiest stuff in all of baseball and is a future ace...hmmm. Quick note: just from memory off the top of my head, Franklin Morales was the best pitcher in that game.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 06:16 PM) Oakland has what would be our top 5 prospects if they were still with us... Gio, DLS, Cunningham, Carter, and Sweeney... We should have held off on the two trades with Arizona and just made a mega deal with both Arizona and Oakland. That would of been fun. Sweeney was our #8 prospect.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Not to be interrogating or anything, buy just curious, how much of DLS have you actually seen? I've only seen him in the ML ASG... I just want my question answered. Yeesh.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) That's funny because by measurement your signature takes up more space then mine. You pull out the tape-measurer for that one? Just messing with ya.

QUOTE(wsgdf_2 @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) Do you seriesly think it wll be funner? Seriesly? If it's not funner, I'll seriesly be done with the White Sox.

QUOTE(JFields27 @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) as long as we are point out errors can i point out funner isnt a word? It didn't have a red squiggly line underneath it, so I went with it.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 06:42 PM) To be series for a moment, this thread is in series jeopardy of digressing down the toilet. Seriesly...PK for Kendrick/Lackey/Rodriguez seems far more likely.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) I'm series, if Kenny makes a Konerko for Santana and Figgins trade, I am done as a White Sox fan until after we finish behind the royals and Kenny Williams dumbass is fired. It's a shame you're so series about it, because the White Sox will be a much better, funner team to watch next season, with a much more complete roster.

"Konerko, Crede and prospect rumor is Shelby Angels would send the Sox Figgins, Kendrick, Santana, Speier and Wilson" I'd nominate KW for Gm of the Millennium if he could pull that off. It just makes TOO much sense, well, for us at least. Oh my goodness. If people complained about that deal, it should warrant an immediate ban from ST. Figgins |CF| Cabrera |SS| Swisher |1B| Thome |DH| Dye |RF| Fields |3B| Pierzynski |C| Kendrick |2B| Quentin |LF| Buehrle/Vaz/Count/Santana/Danks Jenks/Linebrink/MacDougal/Speier/Logan/Wasserman/Aardsma? But people will probably complain that we gave another "great" prospect away in Shelby and that we sold too low on Crede coming off an injury.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 02:49 AM) Fruity Pebbles ROCK I'm going to agree, BUT Cocoa > Fruity...

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 05:26 PM) Rescue Dawn was awesome. I can't wait for 3:10 to Yuma to come out on DVD so I can watch that. 3:10 to Yuma is awesome as well. If you like any of Clint Eastwood's spaghetti westerns, you'll love this movie. Hell, even if you don't, you'll probably like this movie. Comes out this Tuesday.

I just listened to the Swisher interview that was on Chicago Tribune Live earlier and I already love the guy. He's loose and he's hilarious. He said he was really excited to finally meet and talk to Ozzie, that he'll definitely be attending SoxFest, that he's prepared to play CF with what Kotsay taught him in Oakland, how surprised he was when Billy Beane made the phone call (and how he didn't initially believe BB), and that his favorite cereal is Fruity Pebbles.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) there's gotta be a reason why you are traded 3 times in 3 years. I like Gio, but I'd keep DLS over him in a heartbeat. DLS's stuff, from what I have seen, is much superior. Not to be interrogating or anything, buy just curious, how much of DLS have you actually seen? I've only seen him in the ML ASG...

We can forget about Kendrick. He's probably not going anywhere, not for Konerko at least. The likeliest deal here involves Konerko and Figgins/Santana. And honestly, if a deal does in fact happen, that's probably what it'd be, unless they aren't as high on Willits as others.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 5, 2008 -> 01:56 AM) Make fun now, but we will regret trading him and DLS... Gio, I can live with getting traded. Interesting that that is pretty much the opposite of everyone else's opinion? Most people are upset about losing Gio, and not quite as much about losing DLS/Sweeney. At least thats what I gather.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) IMO, this trade would not make sense. Depending on who is involved, fine maybe we get a leadoff hitter and maybe a reliever. Who knows. But Joe Crede and Juan Uribe are still with this team. What is the point of trading PK and not either of them? A salary dump? Is Crede, Fields or Swisher moving to 1B? Something tells me this is all mlbtradeRUMORS and just that. I think it's pretty obvious that Swisher would move to 1B and we'd be getting a CF from the Angels, Figgins or Willits.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 09:58 PM) If Konerko is traded for a package of Figgins and Santana, I think I would be done with this team. That's a shame, because then you'd be missing out on a much-improved team. Konerko/Crede for Santana/Kendrick/Willits or Figgins would be phenomenal for the Sox! My god, Kendrick is going to be a stud. Figgins gives us a bonafide, lead-off CF with speed, and Santana has great stuff and would improve our rotation a bit, especially if he pitches like we know he can. QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) If they are willing to deal santana/shields/willits I would certainly have to look at that one. If KW didn't instantly pull the trigger on that deal, I'd be upset. My god, let me just fantasize for a bit: CF - Willits (.391 OBP)/Figgins (.393 OBP) SS - Cabrera (.345 OBP) 1B - Swisher (.381 OBP) DH - Thome (.410 OBP) RF - Dye 3B - Fields C - Pierzynski LF - Quentin 2B - Richar

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) I really hope this isn't true, because if it is, the trade would be an disaster. Or, Owens has turned into a .370 OBP player, which is, well, LOL, I was uber confused when I read that as well.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Am I the only one who hates trading lefties with natural swings and loads of potential? Wow dude, get over it already. He's nothing special. Natural swings didn't get his ass anywhere. And his loads of potential was good enough to be 6-8 in the White Sox s***ty farm system.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) And he's sexier. NEVER!

QUOTE(scenario @ Jan 4, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) Here's an interesting comparison (2007 numbers) Player G A-B Hits 2B HR RBI BBs SOs AVG OBP SLG OPS One 162 628 174 34 24 78 101 155 .277 .390 .462 .852 Two 150 539 141 36 22 78 100 131 .262 .381 .455 .836 Player One = Grady Sizemore Player Two = Nick Swisher Wow. If it was DLS/Gio/Sweeney for Sizemore people would party in the streets in joy. But at the same time, he offers more speed and a bit better defense.

Just bought The Kingdom and Rescue Dawn on DVD, can't wait to watch them. I've heard nothing but great things about both.

Why the hell do people care? She's not worth being in the news at all. Get over it America. What the hell is with the infatuation with celebrities? Especially when their lives are crumbling? It's sick.
