QUOTE (Willard Decker @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 06:28 PM) One would have to look at statistics from additional seasons to discern if there's a pattern. It's not hard to believe that teams having the best pitchers win consistently, but deciding a pitcher's worth based on a single statistical measure is shortsighted. The K/BB ratio is helpful in analyzing trends, particularly when evaluating power pitchers. But I hesitate to use only a single piece of information to gauge a player's effectiveness. --Captain Decker Who would use a single piece of info to measure effectiveness? --Captain Abreu

Where does it say anything about 83 jerseys?

If PK wins he faces Bryce "Overrated" Harper. In other words Paulie's f***ed

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 08:52 PM) WHEN a worthwhile player shows up on the market. Yes, meaning Tanakas and Abreus, not Ervin Santanas.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 06:46 PM) Semi-related to banner/photo making: Most boards have a poster that makes cool videos relating to that team. Do we have one? Update, found a decent and very recent video. If you'd like me to post it then let me know but not sure if a single video link is thread-worthy.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 08:17 PM) Adam Eaton ‏@AdamSpankyEaton 3h Hey guys! I'm having a fan conference call tomorrow at 12 pm CST. Call 877-229-8493 and use pin 18912. Can't wait to hear your questions! It's gonna be s*** like, "DO YOU MISS ARIZONA!!" "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA PLACE IN AZ!!" "COME BACK TO THE DBACKS!!" His whole twitter/facebook is just that.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) So what. So it shows that we're not afraid to be aggressive in free agency now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 06:24 PM) There isn't nearly as much to work with as a guy who has a big arm. This guy has Mark Buehrle's arm, at best. If he had Mark Buehrle's stuff, SF wouldn't have been looking to clear him from the 40 man roster, and even if they had been... SOMEONE in the NL would have claimed him. As hard as it is to find 5 good starters in baseball today, let alone a left handed starter making minimum wage, if the kid was really THAT good (meaning realistic 5th starter good) SOMEONE would have beaten us to him. With as much pitching as the Cubs and Astros don't have, they didn't even put a claim on Surkamp. To me that is as strong of a statement as any that Surkamp is a worst case scenario starter for the White Sox. He is the left-handed version of Dylan Axelrod as far as I am concerned. It's sort of, but not really, like this. If Quintana is this good why did the Yankees let him go?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 04:59 PM) Threads are dynamic and tend to change topics. He was responding to someone asking him why he thought the Red Sox would need De Aza. It's perfectly fine. Wasn't really referring to him but more to the Red Sox posters in general. Used his quote because it was most recent

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 05:18 PM) With that in mind, I'm expecting an even bigger year from Axelrod. Ramon Troncoso might have a huge ST too. The difference is Cooper's never worked with ES before.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 05:19 PM) Jose Dariel Abreu? JD f***IN A

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 04:34 PM) They also have Grady Sizemore for what that means. Bradley has some injury concerns, Sizemore has many more and Victorino is a wall-crash away from another one. So local media thinks they still could add another CF type. Sorry but what does this have to do with asking prices of staring pitchers beginning to fall?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 12:58 PM) Why? Great AAA numbers and I'm sure Cooper will do work with him.

To answer the OP question- yes.

Yeah, watch out for Surkamp. I think he's gonna have a huge ST.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Where did Rasmus name come from? Is he the only LH outfielder? I never even menioned Rasmus. As for the pitchers, I'm done talking about them. There's 12 pages worth of reasons NOT to sign either on of them. Name a better LH outfielder? I don't know if there is one but I just can't think of one right now. I'm sure there has to be one though. Just thought of Cargo. So is there anyone else?

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 12:06 PM) Buehrle's flip between his legs Opening Day 2010/2011 (can't remember which) "Look at the play by Buehrle!" Already got it

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) And IIRC, Jenks had blown the save in the 9th too, correct? http://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/CH...200607010.shtml No, he got it.

I'm not saying that some people have forgotten big events like Buehrle's perfect game. I'm saying we- all of us- must have forgotten at least one thing on the list (until now). If you can make a list of Sox moments since 05 off the top of your head and have it include everything on this list and more, then good for you. But the point of this thread is to just remember all the moments the Sox have had- some smaller than others.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 30, 2014 -> 09:03 PM) I just realized so much White Sox stuff has happened since 2005 that I've forgotten about.
