Yeah, all ESPNEWS is saying is that the White Sox are interested in Jason Schmidt....they made it a big ole headlin in whats to come in the next 30 mins.

Yeah, here it is guys: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37648

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:21 PM) From rotoworld.com This is good news to hear and he grew another inch. A 6-9 guy that athletic is very good and he only is going to be 20 this season. VERY good news. A healthy Luol and a healthy Eddy propel the Bulls to the EC Finals last year IMO.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) It's good, I just couldn't read it because it's kind of small in that picture. Gotcha

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) My Dream scenerio would be Pods Lf gooch 2b Huff 3b Konerko 1b Carl/Frank DH Dye RF Rowand CF AJ C Vizquel ss Buehrle Garland Garcia Burnett El Duque Jenks Cotts Politte Hermanson Eyre Guardado Subtractions: Vizcaino Count Marte Uribe Crede Mccarthy Sweeney Tracey Shingo Borchard Diaz Additions: Huff Burnett Vizquel Eyre Guardado This is just a dream. We would probably need a couple more spects out of the subtraction column. Like I said this is just a dream. Hahaha. No way in hell Vizquel bats anywhere but 2nd. We have seen what Gooch can do when allowed to swing freely. My scenario Pods - LF Vizquel - SS Overbay - DH Dye - RF PK - 1B Rowand - CF Pierzynski - C Crede - 3B Gooch - 2B MB Freddy Jon Burnett Duque Contra Cotts Jizzcan Eyre Jenks Politte Hermy

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:12 PM) are you saying KW got ripped off? if you are, your dead wrong No no no. I am using this as a counter point to his argument of "Melvin would rape KW"

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:15 PM) Wrong. Overbay has been at least as good as Huff in each of his 2 seasons as a starter. 04 Overbay- .301 16 HR 87 RBI .863 OPS 04 Huff- .297 29 HR 104 RBI .853 OPS 05 Overbay- .289 15 HR 51 RBI .892 OPS 05 Huff- .263 11 HR 54 RBI .731 OPS Especially with the year Huff is having now I don't want him. Overbay is the type of hitter we need. Right now, we need average over power. Overbay is a great mix of both. He is far more reliable average wise than PK.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:09 PM) The thought of trading for Lyle Overbay at this point in the year scares me to death. I'm worried Doug Melvin would eat Kenny for dinner. See: Lee for Pods/Vizcaino

QUOTE(shakes @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:04 PM) If that's the price, I'd say jump on it. I agree. Anderson/Fields for Overbay is a good deal IMO. He could replace Frank/Carl and become our official DH and we could even switch he and PK on some days to get Overbay some time at 1st and PK at Dh. Ideal line-up: Pods- LF Vizquel - SS Overbay - DH Dye - RF PK - 1B Aaron - CF Pierzynski - C Crede - 3B Iguchi - 2B

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) Ok ESPN News sucked it just said we were interested. Yeah pretty much. It was like 3 seconds: "The White Sox say they ARE interested in Jason Schmidt." Thats it.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:43 PM) Marte in a marlins uni Pretty good.....

QUOTE(Tadahito Iguchi @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 03:33 PM) Thanks SoxFAn1 great work im impressed Your welcome. Glad you like it.

Looks good....

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:41 PM) those look nice. are you just copying other caps and putting them on the players heads... or are you changing the color of their caps and adding the sox logo? Actually no. The Giants, Marlins, D-Rays, and Sox all have black caps. So, I copy the player's layer and scan how the hat is fitting on his head. Buehrle happens to wear the cap the same as many so I put MB's layer under the other players layer and just erase the logo of the other team. Example, Buehrle under Schmidt, erase SF logo, Sox logo is already underneath. And if the color is a bit lighter or darker, I take the pencil tool with black ink and color in around the Sox logo. If the bill is in different spots, I might use the bill from the player but pencil around the bill and logo to give it the smooth, all-in-1 look. Griffey and Vizquel were hardest. Griffey because he had his hat juuuuust a little to the left and Vizquel because he had the turtle neck and the only other Sox player who has a turtleneck in the pictures is Count so I used Hermy's hat, Omar's face and neck, and Count's turtle neck. If the player doesn't have pinstripes, a la Schmidt, Vizquel, Huff, and Griffey, I erase the player's uni and use the uni of the player whose hat I am using.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:21 PM) These are his numbers against the AL since 2002 So KC kills him, I'll take all the rest happily. Cleveland is pretty good against him too.

Hey, yo, how you doin? Derek Jeta is very underrayted. As are Jorhey Posada, Randy Jaahnson, and Carl Pavaano.

QUOTE(JoshPR @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 02:02 PM) My God!!!! :headshake Dumbest thing said EVER!!! Do you really think a Future hall of famer is gonna shame himself like that?? Do you really think Frank likes to be injured and NOT helping his team while there winning?? If he didn't do that all the years they sucked like 95 and 99 i don't think he's gonna do it know that we got the THE BEST RECORD IN BASEBALL Try again, have a nice day Ohh but doesn't it seem like when Frank is hitting well, no injuries are bothering him. When he isn't hitting well, then his injuries are nagging him. NO s*** SHERLOCK Post of the Century worthy.....

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) The trade deadline is on the horizon. What if KW doesn't make 1 move- will you all be pissed off? A little bit yes, I'd expect improvements to the team, he has done it in years past, at least 1 move, even just a small move to improve the bullpen or something....

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:49 PM) do you still have that pic of vlad in a sox jersey? We can always dream ya know.

Vizquel anyone???

Last one, barring requests:

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:31 PM) the question is... why? Rumors.....these are just in case something happens.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 01:24 PM) Right under the Headline: Griffey to DL Hopefully not. But I did notice, a lot of the layers we photoshop into Sox uni's look VERY natural in Sox unis. Just look at the Burnett and Lowell thread in HDTW....
