QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Not sure how up to date it is, but here's the 40 man roster. I count only 39. Santos Luis was on the 40 man roster yesterday.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:26 PM) I said this in the minor league page about the same thing... How many trades actually happen before June? Sorry, didnt see it there.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) Was he on the 40 man roster? Yup.

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2010/04/red-...santo-luis.html The 40 man roster now stands at 39. Making room for a move?

Overbay and Downs salary dump. They pay half, we pay half. total of 11 million, each team pays 5.5 million.

Anybody got Felipe Lopez's batting stats from the left side last year?

^^ Yea but we would have 1 of Q, Rios, DeJesus, and Pierre being the DH on a given day and then rotate those four, and Andruw Jones could be the 4th/5th OF. I like that DeJesus bats lefty so that would balance out our lineup. I dont really think we need to go the power route for the DH, I just think we need a more balanced lineup. Adding another lefty helps.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 21, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) Ankiel just signed with KC for 3.25 mil So they sign Ankiel, Pods, and BA thisoffseason, and still have Guillen, Bloomquist, DeJesus, Maier, and Fields that can play the outfield. I wonder if we can make an offer for DeJesus? then we just rotate the guys for the DH and I will be happy.

I'll c u guys up there. And where is Andruw Jones? I thought he was gonna be there?

Adrian Gonzalez, Prince Fielder, Brad Hawpe, Lyle Overbay, Johnny Damon, David DeJesus, Carlos Delgado. In that order.

I would be satisfied with Brad Hawpe, Lyle Overbay, or even David Dejesus.

David DeJesus

My guess is once the Halladay deal is completed, Overbay will be a member of our team. He fits perfectly, another lefty bat, maybe not power, but still has a nice OBP.

With the Blue Jays trading for Brett Wallace, Lyle Overbay could be the target.

This is great news! Now if the Blackhawks win I can go to sleep happy today.

1st White Sox player to win the award.

Vizquel sees no problems with Sox backup role Newly acquired infielder Omar Vizquel doesn't anticipate any difficulties accepting his backup role with the White Sox after doing that job with Texas last season. "I don't think it will be an issue," Vizquel said in a conference call with reporters. "I'll always be there for the younger guys." Vizquel, 42, chose the Sox because of their legacy of Venezuelan shortstops and their one-year, $1.375 million offer. "It was one of those things I was worried about," Vizquel said. "I wanted to get it done as soon as possible." Manager Ozzie Guillen doesn't want Vizquel to serve solely as an unofficial coach, adding he plans to play him frequently early in the year. "Everyone knows (Alexei) Ramirez has struggled," said Guillen, referring to Ramirez's .184 lifetime mark through April 30. Vizquel wasn't sure what jersey number he would wear since manager Ozzie Guillen currently wears No. 13. "I don't think Ozzie is going to give up the number," Vizquel said. Vizquel said he has spoken to Luis Aparacio about wearing No. 11 to honor his legacy and also has considered No. 17 - formerly worn by Chico Carrasquel. Guillen suggested that Vizquel should wear No. 23, the number he wore in his native Venezuela. "When you wear No. 23 with the White Sox, it's huge," Guillen said. "When you wear No. 23 in Chicago, it's bigger." Guillen said he was impressed with the way Vizquel handled his backup role with Texas last season, as well as his condition after visiting him last week. "Omar is in unbelievable shape," Guillen said. And second baseman Gordon Beckham was just as delighted to be a teammate of Vizquel's. "Absolutely," Beckham wrote in a text message. "I'm ready to learn." Meanwhile, Guillen said backups Jayson Nix and Brent Lillibridge need to heed his advice and "do what I told them to do at the end of the season. Guillen also emphasized the need to rotate the designated-hitter position and seemed optimistic the Sox would solve their leadoff-spot question. http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2009/...-white-sox.html

How about Joe Crede or Xavier Nady?? Could come cheap. But my money is on Crisp.

Source: White Sox, Vizquel near deal By Bruce Levine ESPNChicago.com Archive The Chicago White Sox are in negotiations with Omar Vizquel's agents, Arn Tellem and Tom Reich, to sign the shortstop for the 2010 season, according to a source with knowledge of the situation. The source said a deal is close to being done. Ken Rosenthal of FoxSports.com first reported the White Sox were close to signing Vizquel. Vizquel would back up Alexei Ramirez at shortstop and Gordon Beckham at second. The White Sox tried to sign Vizquel before the 2005 season, when they offered him a long-term contract. But he opted to sign a four-year deal with the San Francisco Giants. Vizquel played with the Texas Rangers in 2009. The 42-year-old Venezuelan has long been a favorite of fellow Venezuelan and current manager Ozzie Guillen. Bruce Levine covers baseball for ESPNChicago.com. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/mlb/news...ce=MLBHeadlines I like this move actually.

Could be the Angels way of upgrading while keeping Gonzalez away from the Red Sox.

^^^^ sign andruw jones 2yr, 4 million; sign Xavier Nady 3 year, 24 million That's insane for Nady. 1 year 2 million will be closer to what he gets, Jones will not got a 2 year contract either. Minor league deal for Jones again most likely.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 13, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) We are in a very good spot IMO on Dotel. Worst or Best (different view for some posters) case scenario, he accepts and he's another good veteran arm in the pen. Or.. he can decline it and we'd have a sup. pick comming to us. IMO personally... it's a win-win. The spect lover in me though hopes he declines, but I could definitely see Dotel accepting if he really likes the guys and the overall team here. I still like Dotel with us in the pen alot. Ditto.
