I'd take him back. People say that Javy can't win big games. But he can certainly help us get to the big games. He's an innings eater. You have to get to the big games before you can win them.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 12:40 PM) Flowers should back up AJ and, probably, spell whatever LH DH we go get, to get more AB's. No reason to go spend significant money on a backup C. This...

To play where?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 10:08 AM) 200 SBs would be nice too And it would be nice if he charged the mound and punched a twins pitcher in the face once or twice a year...

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 09:52 AM) Rios could steal 20-25 Ramirez could steal 20-25 Beckham could steal 10-15 If Pods is back and healthy he could swipe 25-35 We have some players who could steal bases, but Getz was our best at doing it. Okay I guess you're right. It's just scary losing a fast guy like that after years of station to station slow base running...

So Placido Polanco stole SEVEN bases last year and got caught twice. If the Sox go after him, we'll still need speed. I think Kenny has something else up his sleeve. I HOPE Kenny has something else up his sleeve...

Who's going to be the stolen base threat now?

I don't know... the more I think about this trade, the more I'm hoping it's just a rumor. In Kenny I trust though.

I'm not sure about this trade. I know I don't want Teahen to be the answer in the outfield. I guess my Carl Crawford pipe dream is dead for now.

Wow... is this real?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 5, 2009 -> 12:39 AM) Do we want Matsui? Absolutely not. He's another base clogger. No more aging veterans on the downside of their careers. No yankee or red sox rejects. No thank you.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Nov 3, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) Looks like the douche bag convention was in Philly last night. lol!!! Dude I'm here cracking up!!!

I think I'd rather take a chance on Jeremy Hermida...

NO!!! NO NO NO NO!!! I don't want another player on the downside of his career. It's like taking on the yanks left overs... like we're a second class city and team... It's like getting hand me downs from your older brother. NO! If he's not good enough for the yanks then he's not good enough for the Sox. I want Carl Crawford or another YOUNG stud still in his prime. Let Jesus Damon go grow out his hair on the northside!!! Okay my irrational rant is now over... Sorry I'm trippin a lil bit today...

QUOTE (beck72 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 04:06 PM) Hermida isn't the answer. Mark Kotsay is likely to outperform Hermida in 2010. The sox need a lefty bat who can also play above avg. defense. Might as well wait until Jordan Danks is ready than trade some talent for Hermida. If it's only Fields and Torres (well maybe not Torres, but another Lance Broadway-type of guy) that we would have to give up to get Hermida then I'm all for it.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 09:14 AM) I think finding a DH should be way down the Sox list of Sox needs. Pitching and defense will take them a long way. The development of Beckham , Quentin being injury free , Rios showing signs of having a pulse and a deep bench would go a long way towards rotating the DH position among those on the 25 man roster. This would also give regulars decent amounts of rest in an age when they no longer have the use of uppers to get them through what is a long grind of a season. Isn't Kotsay considered a better defensive first baseman than Paulie? How about Paulie being the DH? I could see KW staying cheap and going that route. But We would miss Kotsay's value off of the bench. I just don't see the team spending a lot of money this year. I hope I'm wrong!

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Oct 29, 2009 -> 08:47 AM) If Im spending money to bring in a second basemen its for Hudson, no one else on the FA market is worth it. Hudson could probably be had too. Wasn't he benched by the Dodgers for the playoffs?

This is an excellent debate. Would you rather wait for Getz to develop, or would you rather sign an aging vet like Polanco? I'm torn... I say which ever route gets the White Sox closer to the World Series in the next couple years while we have this outstanding pitching.

13/20. Not good. made the list? QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) 12/20...kjshoe would punch me if he knew who I forgot. MHizzle85, Is that Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping in your avatar?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Yep. I've never been. Is it even worth it, or is it just a waste of money? Question and answer session? Is there anything said there that I won't pick up here?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:21 AM) They know exactly what they did. How long before Ozzie tells Jeanne Zalasko (sp?) she has a great face for radio. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! God this going to be good...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) He has 22 homers in 1700+ minor league ABs. Eh... it's the beginning of the off season. A guy can dream, can't he? Besides, I'm not saying that he might hit that many home runs, I'm saying that maybe he'll have a breakout year in his own way (defense, good lead off hitter, speed, steals, OBP, clutch hits)...

2010 De Aza = 2008 Quentin??? That would be saaWEET!!

So my question is why would the Marlins give up on him and place him on waivers??

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) Sox will go 79-83, finishing in 4th place. Tigers will win the AL Central. Surprises: Wise, Thome Disappointments: Fields, Floyd Wow... do you have a freaking crystal ball or something>
