here is the tribune link shooting down the rumors Sox not shopping Quentin

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 11, 2010 -> 07:31 AM) It seems like Ozzie talks alot about Quentin being the key to the offense. I think they'd have to blown away to trade him. I wouldn't trade him. ozzie talked about him being the key to the offense last year and you saw where that got us

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 10, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) that would be extremely interesting, but I wonder if there's a stop point for the NYY on this with the offseason boston has had this yr i dont think there will be one

sad to hear about the dog but great story overall

J.J. Putz signed w/ arizona.....

lol ummm..... cowley has been all over everything this offseason...NOT i see this thread going sour quickly haha

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 09:13 PM) Doesn't have to be a big commitment to LaRoche but we're better off with him in case Viciedo never reaches his promise. I also can't see why you would consider Lee a better player now coming off thumb surgery his age and his back. Sure he WAS a better player than Adam LaRoche might ever be but LaRoche is a safer bet to stay healthy and play a full season and for 25 HR and 100 RBI's considering the negatives weighing against Lee. LaRoche is going to want probably a 4 year deal....if we did that we might as well trade Dayan for something that can help us now

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 09:12 PM) But he's talking about Viciedo as a possibility for '12. my bad i misread...

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) Why commit to an average player when you can risk going for a much better player on a shorter contract, and hope that your best positional prospect is ready to take over fully next year. Makes too much sense. going "all in" doesnt mean you throw a prospect in there as a full time starter if you have doubt in his abilities......last time i knew he couldnt take a walk.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 7, 2010 -> 08:31 PM) If Konerko goes elsewhere why does everyone like D. Lee so much better than Adam LaRoche ? LaRoche is 4 years younger than both Kornerko and Lee. personally i've seen derek lee play alot more being with him being on the cubs and if we can get anywhere near his MVP years with the cubs i think for the money we can sign him for would be a definate steal...

QUOTE (Wanne @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 08:27 PM) DLee sounds nice and all...but I don't know if I'm a big fan of bringing over a career national league guy and expect him to produce immediately not knowing a majority of the pitchers in the AL. If it came down to choice I'd rather have Pena. Hope it's all a moot point and PK just give hancock on the paper soon. Adam Dunn is a career NL guy....

i'd be really happy with derek lee at 1b if he is Plan B

QUOTE (Wanne @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:08 PM) wtf...is MLB Network on endless loop right now. I've seen/heard the same crap for the last hour and a half. tune in at 3:00 pm eastern time for Winter Meetings Live....

Our colleague Tim K. hearing: White Sox remain very confident they will re-sign Paul Konerko. ----Buster Olney

would have been nice to have both AGon and Dunn in a whitesox uniform but oh well if we get Konerko i'll try to pretend that was never a possibility

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) Mark Reynolds close with Baltimor O's per Jon Heyman that trade will be interesting....i wish he were one of KW mancrushes as i would love to see reynolds at the cell

hopefully we'll get a deal done w/ pauley before the day is over....home sick laying on the couch....sure would love some good news

if we got rasmus for the right price i would say this has been an awesome winter for the whitesox

What was the first professional football team to sport an insignia on their helmets?

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 10:55 AM) Who is the only hockey player to score a goal in all five game situations in one game (even strength, power play, shorthanded, penalty shot, and empty net)? Mario Lemieux

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 11:54 AM) It has probably already been discussed somewhere, but AJ and Dunn's deals are backloaded, which will free up the money to resign PK. I am liking that scenario. Beckham/Rios/Konerko/Dunn/TCQ/Ramirez I'd still like another good lefty bat somewhere...Teahen and Kotsay don't excite me at all, but we're shaping up a team to make a run next year. Kotsay is a free agent. I dont think Kenny will be re-signing him or at least i hope he doesnt

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) Heath Bell has to be available right now. I wonder if the Sox have anything SD would want. if we sign konerko maybe a viciedo for bell swap?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 4, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) Except as of today Konerko is not under contract. wishful thinking

here is the lineup i think ozzie will run out there as of today Pierre Ramirez Rios Dunn Konerko Quentin Beckham Pierzynski Morel

might be the biggest as far as publicity before the seaon.... but i think our biggest FA acquisition in recent memory after his playing time with us was done would be Jermaine Dye filling Maggs shoes
