January 14, 200521 yr http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb...r_cws&fext=.jsp Glad to see we got that out of the way.
January 14, 200521 yr At 2:00 pm they reported Aaron signed a 2 year plus mutual option for a total of 8 milllion. Congrats to a guy who worked every step of the way and deserves his success.
January 14, 200521 yr QUOTE(Southside hitmen @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) Rowans is going to have a huge year..Burke is back with the sox as well How is this?
January 14, 200521 yr Rowand has become one of my favorite players. Having him around for a couple more years couldnt hurt

January 14, 200521 yr QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) This is the best news i've heard all year... AROW! Now Jeckle can just complain about batting order instead of hating Ozzie for not playing AROW enough. Game chat should be fun this year. Jeckle are you doing the whitesoxcentral.com chat if Dylan puts it up again.
January 14, 200521 yr QUOTE(AnthraxFan93 @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 02:54 PM) This by far is KW best signing this offseason. Why? In reality he would have made just about the same in arbitration in the next two years.
January 14, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) How is this? Burke signed a minor league deal with the White Sox.... from ESPN 1000

If he doesn't want to, I will.
January 14, 200521 yr Why? In reality he would have made just about the same in arbitration in the next two years. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't overpay, for a old hack who might be good...Rowand is going to be a stud. and we have him inked for 2-3 years..just long enough for him to become a star and then leave cause we underbid him..

He cannot leaver once the deal is up. He will not be a free agent yet.
January 14, 200521 yr QUOTE(qwerty @ Jan 14, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) He cannot leaver once the deal is up. He will not be a free agent yet. there's a third year mutual option as well... so it may make things easier
January 14, 200521 yr I saw him on Sports Page the other night and he is all plus in my book. Great guy who can get the clutch hits and lay down a good bunt once in a while. Has great speed and I expect him to post a career best in SB numbers this year with all the running we are gonna be doing. I have dreams about Podsednik and Rowand (now Iguchi too) doing double steals.

January 14, 200521 yr I really don't think Rowand cna hit in the two spot. We've gone over this before and I still don't get it. I know I like him a lot less than others but I would think even the Rownad supporters would look at his lack of hitting to right as a bad sign for the two-spot. As for the star moniker, what evidence is there that this is going to happen? I just don't see him as a guy that can hit any better than he did a year ago. Not enough pop in his bat to do much better.

I just don't see him as a guy that can hit any better than he did a year ago. Not enough pop in his bat to do much better. I see him hitting for the same amount of power numbers if not more. I just think his average will be in the .280-.295 range.
