QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Mar 19, 2008 -> 02:17 PM) It makes sense, unless Uribe did something completely ridiculous in the last 24 hours, ie blow-up with KW or Ozzie, not show for something and the Sox are just willing to eat 4.5m to get him off the team. Look, I would love Brian Roberts, but I just can't come up with a package the Sox could offer, unless they really roll the dice for this year and offer Fields. But they would surely have enough time to simply move Lexi to 2B. It's ST, wouldn't be a problem to move him over and slot Ozuna in CF or LF with Swish to CF. And for a trade... I was thinking somewhere along the lines of.... Anderson/Owens/Quentin (one of them) along with Richar, Masset, and Broadway.

Here is something I don't get. Uribe is DFA'd, Ramirez PRESUMABLY becomes our new 2B. Yet he is playing CF today?!?!?! Not sure about you guys but this SCREAMS Brian Roberts trade (or someone new at 2B). If this is to clear room for Sexi Lexi to play 2B, he would surely be getting as much time as he cane there, not Ozuna, and certainly you would think Richar would get time to play there as well. With Lexi in the outfield, this makes me think that they are still grooming him for the Utility role, and maybe they are on the fringes of acquiring a TRUE 2B, and not just plugging Richar into the spot. Anyone else see my logic?

So does this now take our roster to 38? Now we trade for Brian Roberts and some craptastic reliever on the O's?

This is SOO bad. I get Uribe sucks, and should not be on this team. But for god sakes, trade him for at least a minor leaguer or get SOMETHING in return rather than dump 4.5M on NOTHING>

Crede is on fire! 2 Hits today! PULL THE TRIGGER KENNY, SABEAN IS KNOCKING DOWN YOUR DOOR!!

I DO worry about Bobby's weight though. I think he needs to drop 15-20 pounds before I am really cofident with him. Just seems like him seemingly gaining weight this offseason won't help him.

I feel bad for Quentin, he is now the buried player. OF is Swisher and Dye no matter what. Ozzie and Kenny love Owens. Ramirez is now getting OF time so he can be our utility man. BA is putting on a clinic, and is really in a make or break season. With those 3 players playing for the final spot really, Quentin is just throw to the curb. I feel bad for the guy really.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Mar 17, 2008 -> 03:31 PM) who had the error that helped bring on these unearned runs? If you mean FOR the White Sox, then LF Gabe Gross. If you for AGAINST the White Sox, then Fields. He booted an easy groundball with 2 outs. Javy then gives up a couple more hits and a HR, then another hit. Ugly.

QUOTE(striker62704 @ Mar 14, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) Did you have any unusual characters in any of your fields? Thanks for the heads up. Nope, just tried again and I got the same thing. Couple things: My name has numbers in it. My password has a number in it. My name has an ' in it. Those are the only things I can think of. Any of those reasons why?

I thought Wasserman had a good shot at the team? He had a good showing last year, and I don't recall him struggling this spring, has he?

Thornton, easily. I always forget he is even on the team, no one ever tallks about him.

I wonder if Ozzie asked Buehrle if he would rather start Opening Day, or the Home opener, and Javy would get the other day.

Who is this Anderson kid? BA goes yard for his 3rd HR. B-E-A-S-T.

Javy is just sick. 4 IP, 1 Hit (anyone but Dye might have had it), and 6 K's. DAMMNNN.

Well looks like I called this one! I knew my boy Swish would come through with a walk-off for me!

Oneli really wants to show he is still a ML huh? .1 IP, 5 runs given up.....wow. And the runners on are his, a single off Vasquez now makes it 7 runs for Oneli in his .1 IP. Sheeeesh. Vasquez closes the door. 8-8 tie going into the bottom 9th. Looks like Swish will have to get his 2nd walk-off win coming up in the 9th.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 04:51 AM) What's a backup catcher's primary duties? Be good defensively, handle the pitchers well, and throw base runners out. The bat comes last, and last time I checked AJ batting right handed with one hand against lefties would be an upgrade over a torn labrum Hall. Hey, all I am saying is that you generally want your backup catcher to be batting on the opposite side of the plate as your primary catcher. This complements him.

QUOTE(SoxPride56 @ Mar 5, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Ha ha... I don't know how he would feel about me giving that out, hope you can understand. I do know however, that if you email him from his website, he will respond to your email. It might take him time, but he will get back to you sooner or later. lol. Funny you mention that. Nick and I also talk via email. He just sent me a reply back actually.

QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 6, 2008 -> 03:10 PM) Gio went 3 strong vs the Cubs today.

Matt Anderson threw a scoreless, 1 hit inning today.

We should have Cole Armstrong as our backup over Hall. Hall sucks, and Armstrong has looked good. Only problem is that they are both lefthanded. :/

Yeah, i too suggested interest in him a couple months back... http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62459 I suggested Willits and Ervin Santana for Crede and a few other peices. Both Willits and Santana are being blocked (Santana is the #6 starter basically).

Sucks we traded for Richar because I hope Alexei can take over at 2B. Could have kept Cunningham. >

Sexi Lexi!! Bases loaded, 3 RBI Triple! No throw, with a slight boble, he could have had an in the parker.
