I'm excited to finally see him pitch in a Sox uniform. No problem with this as one of the moves for SP.

It actually turns out that Lindor was the player to be named later as part of the Yonder Alonso trade...I know it is the first I am hearing of that too but my wife's aesthetician heard it from someone in the Kane County Cougar front office so you never know.

?

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.
