Delmonico Detwiler Cuthbert I cannot wait to see who we get on Friday!!!!

Are they going to move Moncada for him?

As Hawk would say..."where's he gonna play?"

Bit of a ambivalent/hate relationship from me for Wells...he stunk here but supposedly helped mentor Buehrle so there is that.

Robin Ventura ?

Since I started this thread I will rule that everyone counts except Minnie Minoso....Minnie is off limits for me ?

Mazara will be here the whole season and Robert should have to adjust some to the majors, so I will say Mazara.

If I remember correctly, didn't Steve Sax come here and then couldn't throw the ball from 2B to 1B?

I had brought up in another thread remembering Steve Carlton in a White Sox uniform and it got me thinking about other players who came to the Sox at the end of their careers. So I thought I would start a thread to get other fan's "favorites". Now I am not saying all these guys were great but they were certainly better earlier in their careers. The 3 guys that immediately came to mind for me (and that I actually witnessed playing live while I was at a game on the South Side) were: George Foster Rob Dibble John Kruk p.s. I do not bring up Manny Ramirez because I refuse to believe that whoever that guy was that the Dodgers sent over who struggled to get the ball out of the infield was THE Manny Ramirez. I look forward to hearing about other's "fond memories"

Honestly, I stay away from twitter for the most part...it gets toxic enough around here sometimes.

When I think of King Felix and the Sox, my mind wander to another great pitcher with the Sox past him prime...Steve Carlton and how awful and sad I remember that being. So then I looked back at his stats and saw that Carlton actually started 10 games for the Sox and had a 3.69 ERA and thought "hey I'll take a flyer on that" ?

Well one of these times that will work....right?....right?....uugghhh!!

Fixed it for you...now watch the movement around the league!!!!

C'mon now Jason. It is the offseason, must I try to figure out SoxMath here too?

I have interest in Gigi Paris...but that is as far as it will go. I hope the Sox have a better shot.

I have no objection to you getting a minor league deal...the $$ does need to be spent after all.

I was thinking that you would think Hahn has better things to do but is a move like this just done by some underling?..."Rick, we can get Detwiler back on a minor league deal. Should I do it?"... "Sure but don't give him an invite to training camp."

He's better than Despaigne...that's about all I've got to say.

Very reasonable choices IMHO. Both ground ball pitchers which is a good thing on the South Side.

We need to pick up more than 1 SP this off season. I have no problem if they would go sign Nova now as one of those...even if just to pitch against the Cubbies ?

After betting on himself 2 years in a row with a 1 year deal...good for him, but risky business

Ah, so he bet on himself. Interesting to see how much it will work. Thanks for that info. But I must say, I do think that if you are a top of the line free agent, Boras is your guy. Below that top tier, I'm not sure he is the best fit IMHO.

Boras..."Patience, Dallas. Look at the deal I got for Cole and Strasburg." Keuchel..."Yeah but look at the deal you got me last year"

I was just thinking that it would be more AAV than MadBum got plus I cannot think that Keuchel wants to wait around until the end of the offseason again. I mean I am sure that he will sign before the season this year since he does not have a QO attached this year but I would not be surprised if he is getting a little antsy.
