QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 10, 2008 -> 07:26 AM) Is that your crazy prediction (because it's not all that crazy) or do you know something the rest of us don't? I guess the crazy part is that it will happen today. The way it was shot down, it will be surprising if the Sox do anything big the next couple days.

Dye is getting traded today...to the Reds.

I don't think Jenks is going anywhere. The Sox would have to be overwhelmed for that to happen. It won't be as simple as Figgins for Jenks, which is a bad trade for the Sox to begin with.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:29 PM) Williams said the Sox don't need to trade Jermaine Dye, but "we'll just wait and see what this week brings us." Translation - Bye JD. From Cowley I'd like to hear all of Kenny's comments before I decide that JD is a goner for sure.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Dec 8, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) It's too quiet on the Kenny Williams front. I think the Dye to the Reds thing is dead. I'm thinking the Sox won't do anything this week. Nothing is going to happen until Teixeira and Sabathia sign, and then the dominoes will fall. If Teixeira leaves the Angels, maybe they will get into discussions about Konerko or Dye.

I'm not kidding when I say this--Orlando Cabrera is one of my least favorite Sox players ever. If he accepts, I'll be real disappointed.

He's gone. This is all posturing.

It would be very cool if Beckham, Quentin, Allen, Viciedo, and Flowers all panned out.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 4, 2008 -> 05:27 PM) It's possible, but thats an odd slip by Williams. BTW, the conference call is up on WhiteSox.com. I listented to it about an hour ago, and I swore Williams said they wanted 20 pounds dropped by Viciedo. I think he said ten pounds. There's a good chance Viciedo will play some OF in spring training.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 3, 2008 -> 10:40 AM) I'm still of the opinion that Alexei will be a disaster defensively at SS. My biggest fear with him is that he'll try to be too flashy. Making dumb throws from the hole when he should eat it.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 25, 2008 -> 01:32 PM) The only reason it took him that long to break the starting lineup is because of Juan Uribe. I will bet on Viciedo starting for us out of ST. I'd put Viciedo's chance of breaking ST with the Sox at about 10%...maybe less. 20 year old 3rd baseman? No way. Give him at least a year at AA. If he has a monster season, bring him up in September.

Bailey's stock may be down, but look where Gavin Floyd was in people's minds a year ago at this time. I'm not saying this would be a great trade, but I wouldn't bash it right off the bat either. I think with these Dye rumors pretty rampant, he'll be moved by the end of the winter meetings.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Nov 24, 2008 -> 05:29 PM) He and David Eckstein are both free agents, something I find terrifying. The Sox shouldn't try to get any position player over 30. We have too many of those guys to begin with.

QUOTE (knightni @ Nov 21, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) If Dye leaves, is Griffey coming back? Hell no!

Actually, Beckham is not listed on the Saguaros roster. Should have looked there first. I won't speculate the reason, but it does explain why he hasn't played this week. edit: Ok, I will speculate...probably when Jeff Marquez was added, the Sox had to drop one of their players. Maybe they felt Beckham had enough AB's and it was a good idea to drop him off the roster.

QUOTE (103 mph screwball @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 02:12 PM) Couldn't the Sox just sign Viciedo after the rule 5 draft? Could that be why he hasn't signed yet? I guess so, but the word last week was that Viciedo was going to make a decision soon. Perhaps the delay means he's getting a lot of bids.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 01:42 PM) He signed late. Sox allocated him to the AFL late. Other players at his positions were sent first and were given "dibs" of sorts. Unfortunate, but thats the way the AFL works. Nothing is up. Don't look too much into it He never went four games without starting until these last four. Considering they were contending for the division, and he has been on fire of late, it's surprising he was shut down after Saturday.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 02:03 PM) For some reason I've been totally unable to reach B-R for the last month or so. Whisler had 27 starts at Charlotte. 12-10, 3.81 ERA 156 innings 45 BB 71 K He'll get picked. I'm surprised he wasn't protected. Sounds like the Sox have some plans with those last three spots on the 40-man. Maybe Viciedo gets a spot. Any day now...

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Nov 20, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) What were Whisler's final numbers down in Charlotte again? Clevelan Santeliz would be a surprise I would have thought. www.baseball-reference.com is your friend. I don't think Derek Rodriguez is exposed. He was drafted in 2005. I'm pretty sure this batch had to start in 2004.

Brandon Allen-1B Clevelan Santeliz- P Jon Link-P Jhonny Nunez-P Roster is at 37. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/press...sp&c_id=cws

Beckham played Saturday, and that ended his season with four games left? Something smells.

Mesa won the division with the win. They must not play tie breakers out there. The Sox prospects' season ends tomorrow.

Phillies aren't trading Victorino.
