QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jan 21, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) as of right now, the back up is guna be someone from the minors right? none of them can hit. that is disappointing. i guess we really dont have money to spend lolCatcher Tyler Flowers is already making a name for himself as backup to A.J. and hasn't even stepped foot in AZ! Not bad, eh?http://www.mouthpiecesports.com/media/17978 Share on MySpace!
  3. Kenny Williams had indicated after signing Colon that whatever the Sox do will have to be Payroll neutral. Signing Garland would add to payroll. Jenks has filed for arbritration, this will add to payroll. If Dye is traded for prospects then signing Garland could work. But where to we get Dye's production?
  4. While they're at changing some rules,why not outlaw any park where the speakers, come into play or there is artificial turf that lets batted balls bounce more than 5 feet high. Baseball is meant to be played on grass, use the twinkie dome for auto shows only. And tell Congress to get busy with their own dirt, fix our problems and stop the money presses from running crazy, getg out of baseball. There are more drugs in capital hill than in all of the clubhouses. Don't spend my tax dollars chasing Clements and Bonds, they did it and their failure to make the Hall of Fame and play another inning is good enough for me. Fix the country not the baseball locker rooms.
  5. QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jan 15, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) If a team signs a type A free agent they have to relinquish only their first round pick (the team who lost the type A player also receives a compensatory sandwich pick between the 1st and 2nd rounds) unless their 1st rounder falls within the top 15 picks, then they have to give up their second rounder. Since the Yankees have signed 3 Type A free agents their 1st round pick will go to the former team of the newly signed player who ranked the highest in the Elias player rankings, the next highest gets their 2nd round pick and the lowest ranked gets their 3rd. So since Teixeira was the highest ranked type A free agent signed by the Yankees the Angels will receive their 1st round pick, Sabathia finished a few hundredths of a point lower so the Brewers get their 2nd rounder and the Blue Jays get their 3rd round pick as compensation for the loss of Burnett. There's actually a limit to the number of type A & B free agents a team can sign in a given offseason, that number is determined by the amount of Type A & B free agents that are on the market. Thanx, That should be the next issue at the owners meetings...
  6. Never saw a year like this with every team waiting so long. Cabrera is probably going to get half what he turned down from the White Sox. We still get 2 top draft picks from whomever is the ;ucky team. That also is a question that I have....since any team that signs a "Type A" free agent, owes the team that lost them 2 first round draft picks. What happens when the Yankees signed 3 type A's. They don't have enough draft picks to meet the rules? Anybody have a clue how this one works?
  7. QUOTE (philadelphia sox fan @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 04:21 PM) Eh, I wouldn't read too much into this. It could possibly be a simple error and those things happen all the time, especially on espn.com No more worse than some of the dribble I've read from a collective wishful posters on here... in other words, some assume that we would be able to unload our "garbage" and receive "cream of the crop" players in return. besides, ESPN is so EAST coast biased that their "logic" never ceases to amaze me! In fact, if they had their twisted way, I'm sure they write a story about how wonderful it would have been had the Packers beat us tonight and faced Favre in the Super Bowl.
  8. A good read, "I Can See Clearly Now" by Ray Dyren. Talks about Life,Baseball, and Alcohol
  9. I Think Konerko Missed Home Plate The Royals should appeal...
  10. A-Rod out of the line up tonight and Ozzie responded WHAT and went on to say "I'm not worried about it I am not pitching"
  11. QUOTE (soxwon @ Apr 21, 2008 -> 05:35 PM) It has begun And on the 21st day-a of the 4th month-a of the year 2008 Da Baseball Gods are joyous, they are besides themselves All wrapped up in the Hysteria of Whitesoxmania The Soxeth have been bequeethed, with the ability-a Of a thousand rampant warriors, conquering what is left of American-a baseball!!!! Months ago Da Reverand-A, went up the mountain and received his blessings from said Gods. He was delivered to the US Cellular altar, and evoked Da blessings of the Holiest of Holys of all Sports Gods. Blessed are Da Men, whom comprise the 25 roster-a For they have been shown, the vision-a, of their future. A future, no player, no team, no sportswriter can deny them-a For they, who was picketh for 3rd and forth places shall reign supreme, all thru the springeth, and the hot summer To fight and destroy, and overtake everything, that was once great They will be known as the Greatest of All greats in the 2008th year of this planet-a The Crown will be ours-a, once again. The northside pretenders, will have a good year-yes a But will eventually fall to the futilty, that will engulf them their new foreign born leader, will fall to injury in late summer Our warriors of Da silva and Black, will overwhelm All teams, and opponents including media opponents Jay M will bow at their feet, and beg for forgivness-a The City will erupt-a in late October With a display, of heroics, fireworks, and glorious victory All cumulating, in Da crowning of The New Champions. So strap it down and hunker it up As it has been written, in baseball heavens The White Sox of 08, will begin dominance of America's game Keep your heads up my flock, smile and walk with that swagger as Nick, Jermaine, AJ, and Crede, will lead the team to victory And ozzie will once again, be the leader of Baseballs Fearcest team-a It has begun ......from Da Reverand 4/21/2008 hallelujah, now pass me a biscuit!-"
