QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) But the players coming back in those deals certainly won't be enough to "re-tool" the minor leagues. At this point in time, Crede and Uribe are "spare parts" and Dye isn't very far off. He is a bad RF, and would make a above average DH. He just isn't going to bring back that much in any deal. He has much more value to the Sox than he does to anyone else at this point. Unfortunately Tony, it wouldn't take much to re-tool our minors. Fill them with 2-3 B prospects in return from a trade of those 3, and we significantly upgrade our farm.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) Peter Gammons gets ripped a lot. I like him very much, for what it's worth. But his memory, and editors, let him down in his latest Angels article. He might have been meaning before the 2006 season, right after we won the WS. I still don't think we were top5, but at least top10 im sure. EDIT: Actually, after looking it up I noticed we had the 4th highest payroll in 2006.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 05:45 PM) Yes, they do. Danny Richar. He's graduated from every minor league level, he's earned his way up to the big leagues despite starting off very raw in the D-Backs organization, the team traded one of their better prospects to get him...he deserves a decent chance to learn the big league game before someone else is automatically given the job. And Hell, in only his 2nd full month he pushed his OPS up to .760. Right, but right now Richar is in Ozzie's doghouse because of the visa problems. With those 2 weeks he just lost, he will really have to play his ass off in ST (im talking around .350 BA) to take the job away from Uribe. The best we can hope for is Sexi Lexi coming through and showing off how "scrappy" he can be, and then making it over Uribe. I propose we trade Crede, Uribe, and Dye to some team that can eat those salaries, and re-tool the minor leagues. But of course things like that never quite work out.

As long as we get a cut of the money for their ticket sales and concessions and everything, I say do it.

Is Brad Eldred in yet? I have my eye on him....

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) Struck out swinging on a pitch low with the bases loaded. I believe he was ahead 3-0 at one point too. How many outs are there? Score still 5-2? Gameday is now Day vs. Tavaras, Top 6th, 3-2 Rockies. Gameday f'ing sucks.

Thanks for the updates. Gameday now has it as Dewon Day vs. Garrett Atkins with no outs top of 6th.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 03:55 PM) Day giving it up - BA made a nice catch at the wall with the sun blinding him to put an end to the blood letting. 5-2 Rox now after Day gives up 3. Great just great. I guess the good news to these 5 runs is that 3 were giving up by someone who wasn't making the team anyway, and 1 of the other 2 was unearned.

Updates would be nice. Mother F'ing gameday is stuck on Wasserman vs. Holliday.... >(

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 01:27 PM) I'm guessing this won't be broadcasted on TV. Anyone know when the first televised game will be? I think it's Monday, March 3rd. As of now it's only on MLB.tv

Owens has been scratched. Jason Buergois (sp?) took his spot in LF i beleive, with Anderson to center.

Richar arrived at camp today. I look for him maybe to see some action this weekend. He is surely going to be in Ozzie's doghouse, but he really won't have to worry a whole lot because 2B is really thin talent wise (unless ARam turns out really well).

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 25, 2008 -> 03:58 PM) Bobby had no choice, the Sox decide how much to pay him, he has no say in the matter. They'll soon do the same with the likes of John Danks, Gavin Floyd, Ehren Wasserman, Boone Logan, Nick Masset, Jerry Owens, Josh Fields and Danny Richar (assuming they make the team.) When a player has fewer than 3 years of service time he's at the mercy of the team when it comes time to sign their deal for the season. Ah, thanks. I just skimmed the title and didnt really read the article.

Wow, a player not getting gready? Haven't seen that since Paul Konerko. Good for you Bobby.

I used to be in a league on another forum. I was the chicago white sox of course. There is a chance this league continues, but the people who ran it have not updated it in a week now, so I think it's dead. Here is the link to the site, you can check out my team. I have a lot of young players, and I a lot of good minor league pitchers I want to develop. http://usmlb.50g.com/mlbsimleague/leagues/...e_100_home.html

I wonder what that tattoo is that Brian has on his left bi-cep.

Mark Buehrle was injured yesterday. Not major, but he has some soreness in his shoulder. He will miss Monday's intrasquad game, and pitch Friday vs. Arizona.

went with Uribe. I think he is the starter at 2B right now, and isnt THAT farfetched that he hits .270.

I liked the number 27 better. My favorite number is 24, so maybe Crede can be traded soon, and Josh can switch to 24 then!

Anyone got a Spring training one for 2008?

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) whitesox.com you gotta click on another audio or video clip, then you will have access to it, Ozzie & Havy have commercials too I found it. But of course, it won't play. However, i did see the Gavin Floyd interview, and MAN is he hard to listen to. Kid doesn't know what to say more than not. And I saw the Konerko interview, and he was REALLY tiptoeing around trying to be very very careful with his words. lol. He just kept revising every sentence he spoke.

Best was Quentin trade. Worse was Garland trade. (made AFTER Uribe re-signed. It needed to be done at the time because it was gaurenteed we could even get Cabrera).

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Feb 21, 2008 -> 05:34 PM) This is on the Sox site now. Hawk haters will really hate it. Link?

Please tell me this isn't to a major league deal.....
