The point to that, and I am catching up on this thread is not the OL and time to throw, to me it is the time it takes to make a decision. Love had better protection but he was also throwing it much sooner. Fields holds on to the ball way toooooo long and still can't find a receiver. If the answer is getting Fields more weapons, then he better take a large haircut on an extension.

This is him talking down to his crowd. Fields missed 4 games. That game was 4/13 of the season. That is not imaterial.

Maybe the new regime wanted him but the clown car wanted the unathletic kid with the weird batting stance.

Against certain defenses the ball needs to come out quick. With Bagent this seemed to happen and the offense seeemed to be crisp and in a flow. I am not certain if a coaching staff can fix Fields flaws and get the best out of him but Getsy stinks. I still think Fields can win and the team strength via draft capital can be built around him. Let new HC and OC determine with Poles and Warren what is best.

Sometimes I agree with this point and then other times I'm not so sure. They always seem to be getting everyone either via trade or FA but it reality they finalize very few of these deals. They are light years better then the White Sox but that's a rather low bar.

Seems something changed here. Was it possibly the stupidity of Hahn and Williams and not JR's policies?

I like tha the Chiefs were complaining that they usually warn them. Yes they warn them but it is illegal and with a minute left you don't warn them. My guess is that he was warned earlier. It didn't impact the play but it's still stupid.

How does this impact the pitching market?

I think it has come down to who will guarantee him the most without putting in kickers about his availability to pitch. Then there is, who owns the Blue Jays......Roges Communications. This is bigger then the baseball card. I wonder if they agree to play a series or two or three a year in Japan for him or begin games at 9:00 at night in Toronto to be on at 11 in the morning in Japan.

I don't think they can punish the player so every player is freeto do as they choose.

I wonder if JR would like to have an expansion team in Nashville and sell the White Sox. If a new MLB franchise is $2B+, he sells the White Sox for $1.8B, buys in at $2B+ with that group, no tax implication and then he is part of the new investor group in Nashville. Didn'tthat happen somehow with Montreal, Florida, Boston, Washignton? MLB gets a viable team in Chicago and then whoever runs Nashville does so with JR not controlling but a passive investor. Whoever owns Sox with Reinsdorf could actually buy him out and he could take that revenue to Nashville. I think it's more likely JR builds a 25K baseball stadium in west loop. Small stadium is less overhead and creates a greater demand for big games $$$$, if there ever are any. Jerry hasa $2B asset that generates limited cash flow.

Soderholm Orta Kessinger Harry and Jimmy Don and Hawk Roland Hemmond Carlton Fisk Harold Baines Burns Dotson The Bull Juice Cruz Ozzie Thiggy One Dog Rad Robin Hawk and Wimpy There are the guys on every team that would make this list. It's why we are fans.

He actaully was and compard to some of the washed guys they signed he was decent.

Cover of Sun Times when Franco was signed was White Sox HIre A Hitman man was he good that year that Jerry ended early.

Do it all Claudell

Joey Belle and Julio Franco were proably the two best FA signings in the last 40 years

I view certain guys as reason why the team failed. All I recall about him and Harold batting under .100 in June as the team floundered.

I changed the colored tags on a game worn Jason Bere for $15 at Soxfest. I spent the $150 savings on beer at the Fest so White Sox Charities got their money. I burnt a part of it using it as pot holder during a tailgate. White Sox Charities karma at its best.

I had great sits behnd the vistitors dugout. What a douche.

Navarro - if you were a Sox fan at that time he is number 1 by a mile. I blame the white flag on him, his contract and JR never spending again George Bell - I blame him for 93 Jerry Dybzynski - I don't care if I spelled wrong I blame him for 83 Jeff S. Swisher Clayton Wells Manny Ramitez Jeff Keppinger Jose Canseco

Why Youkilis?

People ar acting like he was end of career John Danks.

Yet another example of what a terrible owner he is. He needed to bring LaRussa back but not Leyland. Leyland was a much better manager than LaRussa. f*** Jerry Reinsdorf. Another hall of famer let go yet Kenny Williams had to destroy the franchise to ge fired.

Shoudl have never have extended him. There were no signs to show he was worth that money. Although in his defense playing his whole career on teams that had a one point guard for a couple of months probably didn't help.

Key for the remainder of this season is Fields and Braxton Jones to determine their fate and are the rookie D linemen for real.
