nice, i'd love to see that highlight again

QUOTE (JuiceCruz16 @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 11:33 AM) From what previous fights of either fighter do you see Pac having the power to knockout "Pretty Boy". Pac can thump, but he's no Hatton or other guys for one punch power, and Floyd doesen't take many, but he has shown that a glass jaw is not one of his characteristics. Pac Man is a naturally smaller guy then most of PBF's past opponents as well. watch the PBF vs Judah fight, Judah knocked him down hard, but the referee protected floyd with a slip call floyd doesn't get hit enough in the face for anyone to claim that he doesn't have a glass jaw, but that crack Judah gave him Fight: Knock Down (called slip): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-Ta5IN5Qec he doesn't even hit him hard, and it almost caused floyd to fall back on his ass (holding himself up off the canvas with his right glove = by rule is a knock down)

QUOTE (Wanne @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 04:57 PM) Cabrera was an idiot to not accept arbitration IMO....and he would have made this team better despite what a lot of people feel about him. i don't disagree with the part about him being an idiot for not accepting arb, however i disagree that he would have made our 2009 roster better considering we're basically rebuilding at a majority of the positions and 2 out of 5 in the rotation

chone figgins for jermaine would be f***ing terrible

thank god

So much for Cabrera going to the dodgers and us getting a decent pick If he goes to Oakland, how much better/worse would the pick be?

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 11:25 AM) Well Gavin pitched superbly in that 1 game against either Detroit or Minnesota at the end of the season (can't remember which team it was), but still it's an extremely small smaple size obviously. The game where he threw the ball over Konerko's head, while trying to field a ground ball that had AJ's name all over it? I, too, think Danks will be the better pitcher, he just seems more gritty and understanding of situations With that said, both are very young and it's a crapshoot ultimately who will be the better pitcher, Gavin certainly has better stuff than John does (Though Danks' changeup destroys Gavin's)

I have a feeling we are going to be a relatively bad team in 2009, 3rd or possibly 4th place How much salary have we dumped from Crede, Uribe, Cabrera, Javy, Swish, Logan and have not used to sign any free agents? I guess I don't have to reiterate that we're rebuilding, as even Ozz-ball admitted to it But it's only december, right!?!?!? haha

was he responsible for the blackout? edit: i think it was Boyer that orchestrated that

it'll be interesting to see if, assuming the sox are tanking at the ASB, guys like Konerko and Jim and Dye will accept trades to contending teams, to rebuild our farm system even more

Kenny also mentioned that an aspect of Lillibridge's game that caused him to struggle in years past has been identified, and the Sox organization will make the necessary adjustments to allow him to be successful at the MLB level, he's an above average defensive player that will steal around 40 bases if he plays a full year (per Kenny)

Voted CF because I think it's worth the risk to sign Furcal with that said, it's a moot point because we aren't signing Furcal

4 people are smoking some crazy s***

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) It's top speed is 82 MPH? 82? Livan must be on the juice

Jermaine would have to accept that trade, as the RSox are on his list of untradables

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 04:11 PM) What are the chances that Beckham can play 3rd? B&B were talking a couple hours ago about Beckham and felt he was going to be in the majors early in the year and playing 3rd. If that's the case, then it opens up the possibility of Furcal. from what i've read, beckham doesn't have the arm to play 3rd (or short..), and he was projected as more of a 2B, though the Sox are firmly planting him at SS in the minors until he's brought up

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Dec 9, 2008 -> 07:00 AM) I think I might get a little bit sick if KW trades Dye and goes out and signs Baldelli I got a little sick just considering that

Yeah kenny, let's go young, it doesn't mean we're rebuilding if those young players are good right? We'll all just magically forget where all the payroll money went, even though ticket prices are going to be increased If that money isn't reinvested into the team, this is nothing more than a firesale Nobody here thinks the likes of Lillibridge, Nix, Betemit, Owens, Anderson, Marquez, Broadway, Richard, Poreda, Bailey etc. etc. are MLB ready to play 162 (30+ for starting pitchers) games, and I firmly believe none of those players are good enough to be part of a platoon for a whole season When furcal gets signed to another team than the white sox, these boards are going to be chaos

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...8&fext=.jsp Towers saying peavy's only destination would be the cubs, or they are keeping him

my prediction: we don't sign furcal or hudson, nor do we give any money to penny, lowe, or sheets rebuilding year, with untradable veterans playing out their final seasons with the Sox (Konerko, Thome, possibly AJ, Buerhle) i hope Kenny has some blockbuster deals planned though to prove my predictions wrong

is this what we've come to, serious discussions about corey patterson?

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 01:19 PM) Because he will be 36 by then and this team has much younger power potential. Who would we be filling the DH spot with that's young? It's looking more and more like the players we are keeping around are the likes of those who are cheap+signed long term & are above average (Alexei, CQ, Floyd, Danks, Fields), or we're stuck with due to no-trade clauses (Konerko, Thome, Buerhle), and we've dealt (or will deal) those players who are expensive, aging, or young & cheap and are reaching the end of their deal (Dye, Vazquez, Swisher, Dye) I'd wager if Thome hadn't reached his PA total in 2008, he'd be off the team by now

interesting if this wasn't a rebuilding year/fire sale, why would we be trading jermaine for young unproven pitchers and not keep him (he could obviously help the team compete in 2009), and resign him as the DH in 2010 since Thome will be gone?

So with Hall, Uribe, Cabrera, Crede, Vazquez, Swisher, and Logan gone, what is our current payroll? Have we dropped underneath the twins yet? Gotta love firesales.

I think Cabrera is going to accept arbitration
