we got rid of an overrated player who just doesn't hit enough. I LOVE this deal although I like it less if the nextr domino to fall is Pierre for Anderson or Mac. I want Anderson in center to start the year. WE GOT JIM THOME! I'm pinching myself

Sorry but if KW trades Rowand then fine go ahead.You better find someone as good as Rowand.

Many seem to think that Brian Anderson is better than Rowand. So if that is the case, this is a great trade.

Captain, My Captain.

 

I believe in Kenny Williams.

 

Jim Thome in a White Sox uniform? Is this really happening?

 

Worries:

 

-This can have an adverse affect on the Stooges and some of the other members in the clubhouse.

 

-Will Paul Konerko return knowning he may very well be playing second fiddle to a perennial superstar in Jim Thome? Honestly. This concerns me. Paulie doesn't seem like this type of player, but it is a concern.

 

In other news:

 

The White Sox have Jim Thome.

 

/absolutely floored, despite me calling this, this very morning

His production would not be terribly difficult to replace.

Brian Anderson as good as Rowand.We have to wait and see if he is.

see i'm worried about the Chemistry being f***ed. without rowand are Pierz and Crede (especially Crede) as loose and funloving and - well - good? i dunno and it worries me.

This also likely signals Frank Thomas has played his last game in a Sox uniform.

 

Probably true. Also very sad.

 

Maybe, just maybe, FT would be willing to take a low-base, high incentive deal to backup PK and Thome (he'd essentially be Thome insurance, and/or a fill-in). But that's probably not likely.

 

:crying :headbang :headshake :lol: :angry: :D :huh

Somebody needs to start a apperciation to Aaron Rowand thread and sticky that mofo. Damn I'm sad right now.

Have a fun vacation at SouthSiders, Pierzynski 12/BMac 41.

as if I should dignify that with a response. troll on....

I'm sick of the chemistry BS. Winning produces good chemistry. Not to mention Ozzie Guillen does his part.

 

I like the deal.

You should have been. Enjoy your time off.

Rowand was expendable and with the seemingly high upside that Anderson has, this is a great trade. In the long run BA could very well turn out to be better than Rowand, I don't necessarily buy into this but it certainly makes this trade worth the risk.

chemistry's a real thing dude. last year there is NO WAY we're the most talented team in baseball - but chemistry, good managing and pitching got us all the way. cant be denied

Thome is a great guy and a Chicago area (Peoria) guy.

 

Nothing but positives can come of this as long as his health becomes less of a concern.

Let's remember the Podzilla thread before we make any judgements.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Nov 23, 2005 -> 02:15 PM)
I'm going to say this now.

 

I hate this f***ing trade.

I don't care for it either. I get the feeling that more moves are on the way, so I'm not down just yet. Are they easing Frank out the door? Is Konerko going to be signed? What about another outfielder? I'm just going to wait and see before I get all upset. Kenny had a great offseason last year, so he gets the benefit of the doubt. We just won a World Series.

did you see how Brian was acting during Pods walkoff (see new DVD) It seems like he is great in the clubhouse. I am not worried about this at all, Chemistry might even be better now that Carl is gone. I love this trade and Kenny is a genius! It looks like back 2 back for us!

Good point. I'm never, ever gonna doubt Kenny or Ozzie again, no matter what happens in the future. I'm dissapointed for emotional reasons.
