Carl will have a few days to run around US Cellular, you think JR and KW will have a talk with him?

Lets hope so. Benitez will be here to

Is he pitching here at the cell? Cause if he is, let's see him pitch, then go from there.

The guy is a CY Young canidate this year. Why would he come here? The Sox won't outbid anyone and I can't imagine anyone getting weak in the knees to play at prestigious US Cellular Field. My guess is the Sox pick up another never was like they did with Loaiza two years ago and hope for the best.

no b/c kw and the sox will not take the risk of being accuse of tampering.

 

plain and simple.

I would guess you're wrong.

 

I think they'll pick up a veteran guy, but they won't sign a bonafide stud or anything near that. I think the very best pitcher you could see us sign is Odalis Perez, and I would guess they'd sign someone like Radke or Ortiz.

 

They aren't going to bring in a never has been, never will be type(like Loaiza), because those guys will only turn to gold once in a blue moon.

Only good FA closer on the market this year, if he was smart I think he would stay with the Fishies though.

I get to see my boy Billy Koch!!

I hope his next home is here in Chicago, with the White Sox of course.

Only for the right price, next season if he pitches in a hitters park will be a big test for him. There's plenty of top starters on the market this off-season, we shouldn't have to overpay for one, and then we can fix other holes in this lineup.

I dunno if Carl Pavano is playing at his new home, but I hope Nick Johnson or Brad Wilkerson is... I would love to have either one of these guys playing 1st for us if we decide to deal paulie. Both are LH, and have nice OBP.....

 

Just a thought.

Wilkerson is gonna break out crazy in the next year or two would be nice to get him this off-season.

I wouldn't be surprised to be a Perez come over at all and I hope you mean Perez, OR Radke, OR Ortiz. No way the Sox sign 2/3 of those guys.

But with pitching coach Don Cooper the Sox believe they can take dirt and turn it into gold. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they brought in some guy with good "stuff" and hoped Coop could work a miracle with him.

You are correct in assuming I meant Perez or Radke or Ortiz. Best case scenario, we do get 2/3, but we won't.

 

Also...I do think another tools pitcher will be brought in...not sure who, but someone probably will be. Try to catch lightning in a bottle, like with Esteban.

 

Let's just hope that pitcher isn't Shawn Estes, right?
