QUOTE(wilmot825 @ Dec 28, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) After the rumors about Jerry Owens, are the White Sox going to make a run and re-aquiring Rowand. I would love to get Rowand back and then have the unltimate team. Why would they trade him in the first place?? Ohh yeah Philly will go, yeah we traded you Thome now take the guy you gave us back

QUOTE(NCsoxfan @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Eric Chavez I have no source to confirm that Williams is targeting Chavez, but many of you will remember back in June/July that KW was targeting him. A package of Garland and Crede for Chavez would be acceptable to me, but my guess is that Beane would want McCarth/Crede for Chavez, given his propensity for young and cheap starters. Now the question is, would Chavez bring added value to our club? I dont know, but it has always been apparent that KW has loved him. Yeah and my real target is winning the damn Power ball, getting a new car and a privcate jet, plus a luxury suite or whatever at the cell... Sheeesh what a waste, another MVP trade :headshake

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 20, 2005 -> 06:39 PM) I know he stunk it up as a starter, but the guy is tough to actually hit (gives up less than a hit an inning and has done that consistently at the major league level). He has had a problem with walks, but what would everyone think about picking him up on the cheap and using him as the 2nd lefty in the pen as well as a potential long arm. Ishii supposedly has a pretty rubber arm, although I have no idea why he only appeared in 19 games last year (I'm guessing it must have been an injury, that or its because he stunk so much). He's just 31 and really doesnt' have bad stuff. He gets a good # of k's, limits hits, but would have to improve control. Could a move to the pen help that? Pass

NO GRACIAS

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Dec 21, 2005 -> 12:33 AM) I am thinking about buying myself a Vazquez jersey. Vazquez is listed at 23 however that is Jermaine Dye's number. Anybody have any idea what his number will be? 233

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Dec 8, 2005 -> 06:26 PM) Doesn't seem like the Brew Crew got much when they could have got Clement from the BoSox. Wonder if Bos was going to give some $$$ in that potential deal. Isn't Gross a Prospect and Bush another one. I like the Brewers pitching staff. Sheets and Capuano are good, Davis ain't bad either

Cal was a good Guy. I bet he becomes a Coach. Best of luck to cal

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Dec 2, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) PUERTO RICO C—Ivan Rodriguez (Tigers) 1B—Carlos Delgado (Marlins) 2B—Jose Vidro (Nationals) 3B—Mike Lowell (Marlins) SS—Alex Cora (Indians) LF—Alexis Rios (Blue Jays) CF—Carlos Beltran (Mets) RF—Jose Cruz Jr. (Diamondbacks) DH—Javy Lopez (Orioles) SP—Javier Vazquez (Diamondbacks) SP—Joel Pineiro (Mariners) SP—J.C. Romero (Twins) SP—Kiko Calero (Athletics) RP—Roberto Hernandez (Mets) Manager: Jose Cruz Sr. (Astros) Skinny: Puerto Rico is the epitome of a team with little international baseball history that suddenly becomes a major power. If the Puerto Ricans could trade their catching depth (Javy Lopez, Jorge Posada, the Molina brothers) for more starting pitching, they would be a legitimate title contender, though they'll certainly get out of the first round. They'll be formidable when Vazquez and Pineiro are on the mound and will have to outslug opponents in the other games. Jose Cruz Sr. Ain't the Manager for the Puertorican team. It's gonna be cardinal Coach Jose Oquendo. Joey Cora was the leading candidate but the Sox denied the permission. Another thing is that Livan Hernandez is gonna pitch for Puerto Rico as he lives here and has properties and stuff

Damn. I just noticed that. I got confused with the thread name

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 03:51 PM) Mark Sweeney may be 36 but he has proven that he can be a very good OBP guy off the bench for a team and play a few different positions. He's a very good bench player. MikeSweeney is only 32 Years old http://www.baseballreference.com/s/sweenmi01.shtml Mark of the Padres is 36

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 03:31 PM) Has anyone heard if Mike Sweeney is available? He could be an option to replace Konerko if Konerko signs elsewhere. Schuler almost traded for him once. I think the deal was in place and it fell off. That was when he was a stuggling Catcher

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Nov 25, 2005 -> 03:13 PM) And there probably isn't a 2nd baseman who turns the double play better then Tad. He's a very solid 2nd baseman. So, is Mark Bellhorn a Solid Second baseman? Cause all i've read and heard is that he's one of the best at pivoting around the bag and stays in there as the runner is baring down on him. Iguchi ain't bad, but he has his flaws in the field. I still like him as a player, I think a move down in the order and his numbers go up

QUOTE(GreatScott82 @ Nov 24, 2005 -> 07:59 AM) My thoughts- KW goes after an OF with speed. Iguchi's importance to our first World title in 88 years secured himself a spot in '06. I don't see Iguchi as our DH- he's a solid 2B. That being said- I can see KW going after a Pierre type player. But according to Bruce Levine- Pierre won't be coming to the Sox. So who knows? I wouldn't call Iguchi Solid. At least on D he's not. He's bad going back on Popups. With the bat i think we could expect more this comming season, him being acustom in the States. That said keep him where he is. Harris fills in nicely

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 9, 2005 -> 10:31 AM) http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051109/ap_on_...XAwBHNlYwM3NTU- Baseball's Gender Barrier for GMs May Fall RONALD BLUM, AP Baseball Writer INDIAN WELLS, Calif. - A new breed of young, brainy number-crunchers has changed the image of baseball general managers, who for years were known for their cigar-chomping, hard-drinking ways. If Kim Ng's latest job interview works out, an even bigger transformation will come any day now. Ng interviewed last weekend to become general manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and would become the first woman to fill the GM role on a major league team. "I've been out in the field with her, scouted. I've been in the back rooms with her, around the table. She's as qualified as any guy sitting in there around the table," said Ken Williams, GM of the World Series champion Chicago White Sox. Ng, who turns 37 on Nov. 17, was the New York Yankees' assistant general manager for four years before becoming an assistant GM with the Dodgers in December 2001. Los Angeles GM Paul DePodesta was fired by owner Frank McCourt last month, and the team received permission to interview former Texas and Cleveland GM John Hart. Former Boston GM Theo Epstein might also be a possibility. "The McCourts have asked the candidates basically not to discuss the whole situation," Ng said Tuesday at the annual general managers' meetings, where she is co-leading the Dodgers' delegation along with Roy Smith, the team's vice president of player development. Only three women have risen to assistant GM. The first was Elaine Weddington Steward, hired by the Boston Red Sox in 1990. When Ng (pronounced ING) left the Yankees, she was replaced by Jean Afterman, a lawyer who had worked for agent Don Nomura. Afterman said she never felt gender issues with players, but she did when working alongside club officials. "You feel it in what I call quaint ways," she said. "The guys tend to try to modify their language. There are two things that I try and establish any time I'm going into a room where I don't know the people. One is that I'm an attorney, because there's a healthy respect. The other is I have to drop a profanity as soon as I come in there. I probably have a worse mouth than anybody else in my department." Ng worked for the White Sox from 1990-96, when Dan Evans was the team's assistant GM, and Evans hired her when he became GM of the Dodgers. After she left the White Sox, Ng became director of waivers and player records for the American League for one year. "Everybody here knows Kim, and they've known her for quite some time," said Yankees GM Brian Cashman, who hired her as his assistant in March 1998. "If she gets hired, whether it's for the Dodgers or anybody else, it's going to be because someone believes she has the ability to do that job. "She's not going to get the job because she's a woman, and I don't think she's getting interviewed because she's a woman. I think she's getting interviewed because she deserves to have that opportunity because of that hard work she's put forth." Afterman, who hopes to become a GM one day, said familiarity is key. "I suspect that her experience was similar to mine. It does take a few years for our peer community to get comfortable with you," she said. "She clearly has their trust and respect, and I think that's important. And I think that probably took some time. A lot of these guys have worked together for 20 years. A lot of them have been in baseball for 30 years, and for 25 of them they've gone out with the same guys." As GMs talked trades, they heard a report on the first World Baseball Classic next March. Jimmie Lee Solomon, executive vice president of baseball operations in the commissioner's office, said there would be pitch counts and limits on the use of pitchers. One assistant GM in the meeting said 65-70 pitches was discussed as a first-round limit, with an increase of about five pitches in the second round. On Wednesday, the GMs were to discuss the possibility of moving the June amateur draft back by several weeks. Solomon said that while instant replay is not on the agenda, "I suspect that when we give our umpire report tomorrow morning, that somebody might make sure to bring that up." I mean why not? Women love baseball too. there's a lot of reasons why. If not now, it will happen some day

fRANK WILL PROBABLY RETIRE if his ankle doesn't heal

QUOTE(Wanne @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 05:11 PM) I've been thinking about this ever since I've been reading about Rowand being possible bait. I'm thinking for who. A few teams mentioned were the Yanks and I believe Marlins. What about if the Mets move Cameron...and KW was looking for a left hand stick...do you think the Mets would move Floyd? Just a rambling thought....but my original question...would people be ok with Pods moving to CF. I know this debate was rampant last year. Obviously his arm is much weeker (but not as week as OneDog's was). NO

Yup
