February 18, 200422 yr send pk not thomas. thomas should be sox for life, where is your loyality. Where is Frank's loyalty asking to be traded? Where was Frank's loyalty when he was shopping around his services before he signed last year? Frank is doing what he thinks is best for him and the Sox will do what they think is best for them
February 18, 200422 yr I feel like a redheaded stepchild, wasn't I just punished for a similar post today? You didn't have an article..
February 18, 200422 yr I know it is fun to talk, but allow me to reiterate that all that article was is continuing the speculation that has gone on for at least a month now. There was no new infomation in there. Atleast a month? By a month you mean like from November and December, right? Because, IIRC, about all the rumors involving the White Sox and Dodgers began in about November-December and at some point Lee, Ordonez, Valentin, Thomas, and Konerko have been involved in rumors of going to LA. I just want ST to start so these BS rumors can stop.
February 18, 200422 yr Just reported what I heard, didn't know that an article was required. Now in regards to Frank at first, a butcher, cannot throw worth a damn. Cannot turn the 3-6-3 double play, no chance of getting a runner at 3rd on a bunt right at him, with a runner on 2nd, may get lucky knocking down a ball hit right at him, but Konerko is alot better fielder, but I would take Frank's bat over Konerko.
February 18, 200422 yr Just reported what I heard, didn't know that an article was required. You don't. Did these guys --> not show up for you...?
February 18, 200422 yr Yes, they did show up, especially Andy the Clown and Flash, besides my bro. If I wasn't in Virginia, I would buy all of you a drink, just kidding, I'm not in Virginia.

If I wasn't in Virginia, I would buy all of you a drink, just kidding, I'm not in Virginia. i love Virginia i grew up there, until i was 8, my family had season passes to bush gardens(best rides ever) water country USA, and there was one other place i cant remeber the name though, i was the 2 youngest of 9 kids though.

Congrats to you, and I am sure you married your sister as well.
February 18, 200422 yr Congrats to you, and I am sure you married your sister as well. nope, thats discusting although technicly it would only be half wrong
February 18, 200422 yr And he can't throw, which you don't have to do much as a first baseman, but then again, you never know when that weakness could be exploited. He has the worst arm in all of baseball that I've ever seen. Steve Garvey threw worse than Frank, and he played first forever.

Right on Soxfan420!!!! I'm living it up down here in ol VA....u might be thinking of Paramounts Kings Dominion....
February 19, 200422 yr For the life of me I can't understand why people keep bashing Frank's fielding. Doesn't anybody watch the games? I'm not saying he is as good as John Olerud but he's adequate. Look at 2003: Player G POS RF FP Konerko 119 1B 9.30 .998 Thomas 27 1B 9.26 .995 Daubach 45 1B 8.60 .996 He does not throw well, he didn't in 1994 either, and they still gave him the MVP. God did not bless him with a fine arm, he doesn't make the 3-6-3 like Paulie, but he stretches nicely and digs out low throws and bad hops quite well. If I'm the Dodgers (or the White Sox) I would have no qualms about his D.

February 19, 200422 yr why do people keep saying that about him he has had one injury playing firstbase now all of a sudden he cant play there without getting hurt, im really confused? pls help me texsox. give up PK but not thomas. Amen!!
February 19, 200422 yr There is nothing wrong with Frank's fielding, his arm is probably the worse arm in the major leagues, but nothing wrong with his fielding. Its average for a first baseman, maybe a little below average. I do believe he could play there every day though, if necessary as long as he was motivated to do it.
February 19, 200422 yr BLAH~! Trade someone I don't care who to LA so we can end the friggin rumors already. My god.
February 19, 200422 yr If I wasn't in Virginia, I would buy all of you a drink, just kidding, I'm not in Virginia. If you ain't in Virginia, then WHEREZ MAH DRANK, BEEEEYOTCH???? As far as the "red-headed stepchild" thing goes, let's be fair.....we don't know WHAT color your hair is...
February 19, 200422 yr BLAH~! Trade someone I don't care who to LA so we can end the friggin rumors already. My god. PACK YO BAGS, SHOW, YOU'RE GOIN' TO L.A.!!! You've been traded for a "heh" and a "blah~!" to be named later!
February 19, 200422 yr PACK YO BAGS, SHOW, YOU'RE GOIN' TO L.A.!!! You've been traded for a "heh" and a "blah~!" to be named later! Never...LA demands to trade Mr. Show back But seriously, I'm with Ian, these rumors are just annoying now. I'm sick of hearing about the Dodgers and Sox...and yet still no deal done. Who knows, maybe it will happen, at least now ownership isn't an excuse. If Frank really has an attitude in the clubhouse, get him out of here, get a prospect and a starter and use the money saved to keep Magglio long term. I'd rather have an all around player like Maggs then Frank. Plus Maggs doesn't create all this commotion.
February 19, 200422 yr PACK YO BAGS, SHOW, YOU'RE GOIN' TO L.A.!!! You've been traded for a "heh" and a "blah~!" to be named later! LA is sweet. Bright lights, big city, pretty ladies. My kinda town.
February 19, 200422 yr Never...LA demands to trade Mr. Show back McCourt tryed to redo my deal without my agent. Cheap bastard!
February 19, 200422 yr I'd hate to lose Frank Thomas, but if it means we resign Magglio .... so be it.
February 19, 200422 yr get him out of here, get a prospect and a starter and use the money saved to keep Magglio long term. I'd rather have an all around player like Maggs then Frank. Ain't gonna happen CSF, they'll keep any money save in the trade and cry that they were over budget anyhow. It's why at this point I'd rather just go with what we've got and hope for the best.
February 19, 200422 yr LA is sweet. Bright lights, big city, pretty ladies. My kinda town. OH, yeahhhh, forgot to mention....you'll be living in South Central LA. ...nice apartment, though....lots of windows....well, the ones....ONE....that isn't broken and boarded up is nice.....
