Not unless they're trading Sale and Tank and others, Einstein!

Torii put up decent numbers in 2012.

It's a definite improvement.

No it isn't...but the Sox aren't gonna get Headley or Olt or Moustakas or Beltre, etc.

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure that he's not playing at all in 2013. What I'm getting at is, if we give Keppinger a full season to see if he can be a useful every day player, and we give Gordo one more season to see if he still sucks, and it turns out that we need to "replace" one or both of them....

Or if (when) Beckham sucks, then move Keppinger to 2nd, and...?

If he is able to play, somebody will pay him to do so, IMO.

Right on.

IF the Yankees are successful at voiding the remainder of A-Rod's contract, and IF his surgery is successful (and he passes a drug test(s)), would you take a flyer on him if you were the White Sox?

I have a question...at some point today I posted a presale code for single game tickets, it has since been deleted. Why?

Point taken!

I'm stumped (and at work...no time to research.). Please enlighten the class.

Juan Pierre is bad at baseball. He's an upgrade over nobody.

There are intelligent "posters" like Eminor3 who offer astute analyses and address issues, while there are "posters" like you who just like to criticize me (and others), if they don't agree with you.

You're just trying to goad me cuz you're an admin and you want to ban me. I said that I was happy that the Sox signed Lindstrom but that they still have more to do if they're gonna catch the Tigers. What's your effing problem?

Strike while the iron is as hot as its gonna get???

I'm saying you "take it when you can get it". This reminds me of that parable about the two bulls standing on a bluff overlooking a field of cows...one bull says, "let's run down there and screw one of those cows." The other says, "if we walk down, we can screw all of 'em.". You guys are advocating the "walk down" approach; I can respect that. Although, if you walk down, the cows might not be there when you get there. I guess that's why I advocate the "run down" position...ya gotta "strike while the iron is hot.".

Things could be worse, according to that site, the Cubzzz haven't had a winning decade since the 1920s!

I'm not going to win ANY arguments with you guys...if Reinsdorf or Hahn or KW said 2+2=5, most of you would be "on board" with that.

Sorry...4th most wins in the 90s. Would any of you consider the 90s a successful decade for the White Sox? (I would not.)

Correct me if I'm wrong...weren't the White Sox the winningest team of the 1980s? (Maybe 1990s?) If so, how many championships did their "sustained success" get them?

I already said I'd sacrifice "long term" for another WS Championship.

I know all about "financial constraints" and "working within a budget", etc. I get it. But when the Sox try to tell it's fans that "we are doing everything possible to put a winner on the South Side.", what they're doing is pissing on our heads, and trying to convince us that it's raining. My oldest son will be driving within two years; should I tell him that I'm going to buy him the best car possible, then get him a jalopy, and then try to convince him that its the best, or should I tell him I'll get him the best car that I can afford?
