QUOTE (MEANS @ Feb 28, 2012 -> 09:53 AM) exactly, and why not give Danks a shot against his former club? He loves a challenge. Totally... Danks it up. If it where me - the rotation would look like this: 1.) Danks 2.) Floyd 3.) Sale 4.) Humber 5.) Peavy Maybe switching Sale and Humber. Will be interesting to see

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 27, 2012 -> 05:39 AM) http://www.csnchicago.com/blog/sox-drawer/...tm_medium=email I really hope Peavy can finally make a recovery... there's no reason not to pull for him.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 26, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) I don't care if we're going to suck this year. I miss White Sox baseball. Serious, I'm counting the days until the first televised Sox spring training game. 7 days from tomorrow baby.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Feb 23, 2012 -> 10:32 AM) Hearing the story of Walker and Guillen's concern about Dunn last spring has me feeling less certain about what shows up this year. Prior to hearing that story, I was of the opinion that he would return to normal. What story? Do u have a link please?? Nevermind http://chicago.sbnation.com/chicago-white-...-mlb/in/2331238 http://chicago.sbnation.com/chicago-white-...ctions-and-more

1. I think he'll turn into a great manager and he's ready to start down this new path. Is he ready to be a seasoned leader - no. Will he be alright and get better with time? Absolutely, yes. 2. You will never find another Buehrle and it's a tragedy to lose him. It's time for Peavy to show up. It's time for Sale to take hold of the starters role and hopefully be injury free. It's time for everyone to step up indeed. 3. Adam Dunn will have a better season ( how could he not ) but I'll need to see a strong April or May before I'm ready to expect his "norm" again. 4. I sure hope it won't be Thornton and want Reed. Now that Sale is out of the pen - I don't think they'll isolate our best lefty to the closers role. Fingers crossed for Reed out of the gate. 5. The tank can completely make fans forget Q. He could very well become the most powerful force on our team over the next couple years - very excited to see him rip it up. This year we'll probably see times of struggle and more at bats vs LHP... but it'll be a very nice showing when all is said and done.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 08:08 PM) The Sox will have more wins than the Marlins. From your fingers to the baseball gods inbox.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Feb 14, 2012 -> 07:37 PM) Hearing this news is like having a really bad, unsatisfying masturbatory session which immediately turns to regret. I'm by no means inferring a world series win but many people said we where destined for failure in the 2005 off-season. I won't have faith in this team until I see results, but I won't totally bar them from potential either. Let's just put it this way... hope is pretty thin these days in White Sox Fandom.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 2, 2012 -> 04:01 PM) It was anounnced a few minutes ago. The Cuban chips begin to fall. I wonder what the contract will end up looking like. Give me Soler!

Oh joy...

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 23, 2012 -> 08:03 PM) JimBowdenESPNxm JIM BOWDEN Marlins remain committed to outbidding the Cubs and Tigers for Yoennis Cespedes if and when he every attains free agency 1 minute ago Favorite Retweet Reply Looks like he'll be a Fish - like it or not - Miami will be fun to watch this year.

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) Cespedes first bomb in Quisquella Stadium which is supposed to be a big stadium. Sign him. Sign him now. How much do you suspect him to receive Cubano? Any inside track on where he lands? Cheers

QUOTE (Cubano @ Jan 18, 2012 -> 07:03 PM) Greetings and Salutations, Cespedes first bomb in Quisquella Stadium which is supposed to be a big stadium. I hope the Tank does well for you. Nice - we where just speaking fondly of you Cubano! We missed ya brotha. Welcome Back!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jan 16, 2012 -> 09:59 PM) He said we're in for a surprise this year, that what we saw in September was what we can expect to see next season. Very nice - go Morel!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 11:36 PM) What about trading Gavin Floyd and signing Roy Oswalt on a one-year deal for $8 million? That would be basically revenue neutral...excise $9.5 million more for the 2013 budget and bring in another name pitcher to go with Peavy who could actually help boost or bolster attendance a bit. He snaps back and they've got a VERY valuable trade chip at midseason who can be parlayed into additional prospects, with Castro/Stewart/Molina/Axelrod/Santiago joining the big league rotation at the time of the trade. Makes a lot of sense indeed.

Ozzie sticking his tongue out at me during the last game of the first home series vs. the A's. I'm glad he's gone.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 05:53 PM) You couldn't be more wrong. The guy had an injury that no one has ever returned from and pitched again at the MLB level. He worked his a@# off to get back. I don't know if he'll ever be an effective pitcher again but you cannot fault how hard he worked to get back. You can rip on the results but not the effort. Amen to that. You are a good guy Dave - thanks again for the advise about the break. Here's to Peavy having success this year ( hopefully )

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Jan 15, 2012 -> 06:14 PM) Big Jim thinks Dunn is not done. He also thinks Beckham will thrive under Ventura. I agree. Such a class act and pungent statement directly to Dunn. Hope it hits home if he's reading.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jan 13, 2012 -> 06:20 PM) +1 cool dude SERIOUSLY! Where'd he go and why?

QUOTE (CWSpalehoseCWS @ Jan 12, 2012 -> 06:07 PM) I'm starting to agree. Get the young kid that you can groom. Yup! That's what I'm beginning to think as well... but being the greedy baseball fan I am - I want both.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 11:04 PM) They're much, much, much smarter and cheaper ways of acquiring OF depth. I can appreciate everybody wants Rios, Dunn and Peavy gone. But coming up with these ridiculous scenarios (not just you hi8is) that make no sense at all for the non-White Sox side is not going to make the impossible possible. it's still fun to sit here in January - broken hand and all - just chillin and thinkin of some wild possibilities. Give me Feb. 26th / March games please.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 10:22 PM) No chance, now that they got Latos. Would be an interesting move though. You'd have to figure KW would definitely get Cespedes then. I'd imagine the Red's would enjoy adding Floyd to Latos. They're also looking for outfield depth.

Would the Reds take on 2/3rds of Rios if it meant getting Floyd for 2 B level pitching prospects?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 08:08 AM) DeAza is going nowhere even if they sign Cespedes. Yup - I should have clarified that I meant adios DeAza in terms of starting. It's kinda a pain in the ass to only have 1 typing hand.
