QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 9, 2011 -> 02:52 AM) Now let me ask you this...say we didn't sign Dunn and maybe ended up with a much lesser player like Lee or Laroche or worse even nobody, what grade would you give the Sox offseason? I'd be shocked if it was higher than a C -. What is the point in speculating towards something like this when it is not at all in the realm of reality?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 9, 2011 -> 01:24 AM) Team looks set to me. I'd give the offseason a solid B -. That's mostly because of the massive upgrade at DH. Good lord... a B-?

My only contribution to this thread is as such...

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 27, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) Ugh, we are certainly in a lull. I don't think I've visited the site in days, and there's barely anything new to read. Welcome to January Should be a slow month... I pine for April!!

Thou shalt not mess with Peavy.

All things Peavy - Go Here.

QUOTE (beck72 @ Dec 19, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) ...a healthy Peavy takes the team to a whole new level.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 08:59 PM) Not to turn this into a debate about the merits of the "win," but that's still a damn fine percentage. Obviously, the ERA is just fair, but he has been dominant at times. There were starts where he was close to unhittable, others where he was serving BP. I'm optimistic as to which will prove atypical. I believe that Jake can rebound from his injury and pitch like an ace. The question for me - is just when. He's the dark horse baby.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 02:42 PM) Love the sig. Thank you sir.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 18, 2010 -> 08:52 AM) Love Peavy the person, but his performance as a Sox ... sucko so far. There are two camps in regard to Peavy. One says he is a badass and will return to badass-dom..... The other says - well... what you say Greg. With all due respect to the naysayers - stay outta this thread. Only those with the faith shall rock here.

This used to be my thread and you ninjas are keeping it well. Stay drunk Sox Talk =)

Join the "Jake Peavy is a Bad Ass and will be back in 2011" crew. PM me if you want in.

This has been long overdue.... a thread to track the progress, challenges, triumphs, and thoughts regarding Jake Peavy and his return to the Sox. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/baseball/wh...guy-injury.html I love this guy - when he is on - he can be one of the best in the league. For all the talk about how great our outlook is for 2011 - if Peavy can come back and pitch like the ace he has been... man - we're looking real good. Peavy is one hell of an important piece - and I'm going to be on his side the entire way cheering.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 16, 2010 -> 11:34 PM) This is awesome. We just keep getting better. I'm getting really excited for next season... It's not April yet??? Damn =)

Again I ask.... what would a reasonable expectation for a package coming back for Quentin???

What do you all think a reasonable expectation is regarding a haul for CQ. Subpar defense aside, I love that guy and expect a bounce back season from him.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 08:32 PM) Oh come on, who WOULDN'T tolerate a penis??? I think you're exaggerating just a tad... Not exaggerating - just deliousionally omitting. I believe that my reference to penis was something in the nature of telling a moderator to... Well - you get the idea.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 09:21 PM) True. WSI is a horrible board. They have like 15000 Scott Merkins over there. You can't even being to say something negative about the franchise without them threatening to ban you. Makes me appreciate the great work Jason, Heads and all the guys do over here that much more. I think I've been permanently banned there about 5 times. They not only do not enjoy negatively charged posts - they also do not tolerate the following: Humor Wit Penises

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 01:17 AM) Reference to a tweet from hours ago. Nothing new there. In fact we've been hearing that for DAYS..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 02:49 PM) I still think KW is bluffing when he says Peavy won't be ready in April. Why do you think he would bluff Balta? This idea intrigues me. Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2010 -> 01:17 AM) Source? Maybe I missed something. I think he is just playing Mr. Big Boy here NorthSide. Nothing to see - move along now.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 11:09 PM) per espn: The White Sox were believed to be offering three years and between $36 million and $39 million. But Adam Dunn's new deal was worth $14 million a year, and indications are that Konerko's camp is holding strong for at least the same, if not slightly more. If we're talking about 3 - 6 million dollars total over the course of a three year contract... No way that it doesn't get done. Not with JR involved. Somethings a brewin

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) .273/.361/.496 wOBA: .372 .278/.365/.475 wOBA: .367 Who's who?? =)

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:31 AM) I still have no clue what you're talking about. But you're cool with me. ?
