January 27, 200521 yr Thank GOD.. Harris is on the bench.. best place for him Great Move KW..lets just hope this plan doesn't backfire.
January 27, 200521 yr I just hope we lives up to the hype. Just ask Jon Garland and Willie Harris what happens when you don't live up to Sox fans expectations right away. Hopefully he has some thick skin.
January 27, 200521 yr They get ragged on, as if it was the player's suggestion to put that much pressure on him. Pods better be have his game tight too. The whole new offensive scheme relies heavily on him. QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) I just hope we lives up to the hype.

Well, it is to me, but not in the grand scheme of MLB things. If he doesn't work out, we have a decent platoon 2b and possibly SS. Plus, someone out there would take him in a trade if it gets to that. So, I'm not worried at all.
January 27, 200521 yr Any word on who comes off the 40 man?? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My guess is Paulino Reynoso but there's no word yet.

Exactly I hope Willie out performs Iguchi in Spring Training and shuts some people up
January 27, 200521 yr Hell I thought it was going to be him when they signed AJ and they dumped Burke...so who knows....
January 27, 200521 yr Exactly I hope Willie out performs Iguchi in Spring Training and shuts some people up <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Willie may not even make it to Spring Training with the White Sox.
January 27, 200521 yr QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jan 27, 2005 -> 02:45 PM) Willie may not even make it to Spring Training with the White Sox. I guess we will see about that wont we
January 27, 200521 yr I followed the link on that press release to order my nine game plans (a big deal for me). I wanted to let the timing of my purchase to match the Iguchi signing to show my approval. Thank you KW and JR for a fine offseason. Now let the countdown to opening day begin. I've never been to opening day before.
January 27, 200521 yr I guess we will see about that wont we <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, we shall. I would only want to see us trade Willie if we got a good utility infielder that can play SS or a lefty reliever. I don't see any reason to trade him for a minor leaguer, unless it's a really good minor leaguer.

I don't see any reason to trade him for a minor leaguer, unless it's a really good minor leaguer. Our bullpen is pretty much set And Iguchi is a ? so keeping Willie would be best for us, especially since he can beat him out in SP
January 27, 200521 yr Our bullpen is pretty much set And Iguchi is a ? so keeping Willie would be best for us, especially since he can beat him out in SP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We could use another good lefty reliever. We only have two lefties that will make the opening day roster -- Cotts and Marte. And I don't have much confidence in Cotts. If Willie could also play SS, I would be all for keeping him.
January 28, 200521 yr Do the Sox actually have to move anyone off the 40 man right away due to Frank starting the season on the DL this year??
