Rosenthal: #Cubs reach agreement with David DeJesus. Will be their everyday right fielder. #MLB

Doug Padilla White Sox replace Ozzie plan for season tix with a "Pick 14 Plan." Went on sale today. Indiv. game tix go on sale in Feb. For those who were wondering!

With White Sox devoted to idea of trading at least some parts -- Danks, Quentin, Floyd, Thornton -- it's hard to see how Buehrle returns. -- Buster Olney

Chuck Garfien (via Gammons) reporting that Kenny Williams will be a popular man to talk to come Winter Meetings.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 11:17 PM) It gave a motive for why Brody would want to attack the US Great point, rewatched it now.

Homeland tonight a filler or did I snooze through something important?

QUOTE (VictoryMC98 @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) Didn't Sox Fans state the same thing when Flowers was acquired? Precisely and this guy appears to be worse version of Flowers.. color me confused.

Coop was on XM radio today and said Zach Stewart is better suited for the bullpen FWIW.

Not gonna start a topic on this as not really Sox related.. but Dave Marintez, Sandy Alomar Jr.. few interviews, not even one of them got a vacant managerial position. Thoughts? I mean, you read SoxTalk in September and they were treated as the second coming of Jesus H. Christ..

QUOTE (soxfan-kwman @ Nov 16, 2011 -> 11:49 PM) Quentin & Danks for Brett Gardner & prospects. LAWLZ.

He has been really annoying on twitter lately with the nba lockout stuff.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 14, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Not too long after La Russa retired, I thought I read something about Reinsdorf wanting him on the Sox in an advisory position of some sort. Was this just wishful thinking/fluff on Jerry's part? I remember reading a headline recently where TLR said "White Sox too set up to need me." FWIW. Found this.

I want De Aza leading off and playing CF too. Keep Quentin add Viciedo.

FWIW, Kenny Williams did say to the media (drining to wite here) that the 2012 payroll will be slighty less than 2011 one.

Jon Heyman sounds like the #chisox are expecting to hold onto carlos quentin, talented yet inconsistent player who hit .254

NEWS: The White Sox have agreed to terms with free agent left-handed pitchers Donnie Veal and Jose Quintana. Veal, 27, combined to go 0-2 with a 4.22 ERA (15 ER/32.0 IP) and 31 strikeouts in 19 appearances (five starts) between Class A Bradenton, Class AA Altoona, Class AAA Indianapolis and Rookie Gulf Coast League Pirates in 2011. He did not pitch until May 22 while recovering from Tommy John surgery performed on June 4, 2010. Quintana, 22, spent the entire 2011 season with Class A Tampa in the Yankees farm system, going 10-2 with a 2.91 ERA (33 ER/102.0 IP), one save and 88 strikeouts in 30 appearances (14 starts). He limited opponents to a .236 (86-364) average and was 6-1 with a 2.83 ERA (20 ER/63.2 IP) as a starter.

There's still chance they trade the guy lol.

Jim Thome intends on playing in 2012 /thread.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 20, 2011 -> 11:15 AM) How much cash would we be sending their way?? we add 2.5 million in salary for 2012 and 2013, but lose the 13.5 million in 2014 for rios and gutierrez has an option year for 2014 for 7.5 million and a 500,000 buyout. All 3 players in this deal are busts

Trade Alex Rios to Seattle Mariners for Choone Figgins and Franklin Guttierez. FIRE AWAY, Im ready.

Brett Ballantini out at Comcast, dont come here to stir controversy but that's a bit surprising.

CHICAGO – With nothing official expected to come from the White Sox until after the World Series, there are clues that Jeff Manto will be named the club’s hitting coach as expected. A White Sox source indicated Tuesday that Tim Laker will move from his post as Triple-A hitting coach to minor-league hitting coordinator. That was the position Manto held the past four seasons. That would seem to indicate that Manto would move to the open position of major-league hitting instructor to replace Greg Walker, but that has not been confirmed. Teams are now asked to embargo all news until after the World Series is completed. General manager Kenny Williams said he was going to name the White Sox’s coaching staff under new manager Robin Ventura last week, but that official announcement never came. Hitting coach was believed to be the only hang up, with Mark Parent expected to be the bench coach to replace Joey Cora and Tim McEwing expected to be the third-base coach to replace Jeff Cox. There was also published speculation this week that the White Sox could also be interested in Jim Thome as their hitting coach. Before serving as the White Sox’s hitting coordinator, Manto was the major-league hitting coach for two seasons with the Pittsburgh Pirates (2006-07). Before that he was the Pirates’ roving hitting instructor for three years and managed for one season in the minor leagues with the Philadelphia Phillies. The career .230 hitter played nine seasons with the Indians, Phillies, Orioles, Red Sox, Mariners, Tigers, Yankees and Rockies. Manto is a Pennsylvania native and a Temple University alum.

I know nothing about hitting or coaching but for some reason I can't see this working out.

My response to Cowley last nite was: *yawn* I guess he got the cold shoulder treatment from many Sox fans as he is going off today about it. Oh and he managed to post this: http://t.co/nauMFLZC I guess this is where "Holly.wood" came from.
