July 16, 200619 yr Straight from the horse's mouth. Now if you wish to continue with 375 pages of speculation from ambiguous, uninformed sources, or try to decode KW's 'secret stealth mode language', go ahead. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sox/cst-spt-sside16.html
July 16, 200619 yr And here are the key quotes: "If people would just take the time to look at what has been consistent, it's a pretty easy answer.'' Since the start of the season, Williams has said his five starting pitchers are going to remain in a Sox uniform for at least the 2006 season. While the Sox tried to trade Garcia last offseason, Williams wants six starters -- including former starter-turned-reliever Brandon McCarthy -- at his disposal down the stretch. "Here's the plan, the same plan there was in spring training: Go through the season with the five,'' Williams said. "If something happens to one of the five, Brandon then steps in. Aside from that, if we are fortunate enough to get in the playoff situation, a short-series situation, we take one of the five and move one of the five to the bullpen to help us in that capacity.''
July 16, 200619 yr Good cause some of the names that have been tossed around really had us getting reamed.
July 16, 200619 yr Author QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jul 16, 2006 -> 12:04 PM) So in other words: Kenny is working on something involving one of our starters. Thx for the translation. What else does KW really mean?
July 16, 200619 yr If KW could find a buyer for Flaming Freddy, I have a Brooklyn Bridge to sell to that team. I would settle for Sean Tracey over Freddy in the rotation at this point.
July 16, 200619 yr when do GM's ever tell the truth.... this really means nothing. Especially with the emergence of Haeger/Phillips in AAA who can fill in for a starter if one of them goes down... not saying they would be amazing but the 6th starter isnt apposed to be.
July 16, 200619 yr I'd kill to see something like this on the wire tonight White Sox | Garcia Traded Sun, 16 Jul 2006 06:05:41 -0700 ESPN Radio and The Associated Press report the Chicago White Sox traded P Freddy Garcia and to the [iNSERT TEAM NAME] in exchange for P [iNSERT PLAYER NAME] and [POS] [iNSERT PLAYER NAME].

They did? And no takers?
July 16, 200619 yr Kenny has some stuff up his sleeve, but I don't know if we have the chips to get done some of the things he wants to get done. Not to mention I don't know if the market will be too much of a sellers market.
