So the wrap up is that Mark had a "gut feeling". I'd say his perception was a bit off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says Kenny actually discussed actual players with him that he intends to go after... This article seems almost too convenient to just "happen" to be written now...

Kyyle23 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Williams not only let Buehrle know that the organization was prepared to spend some money this winter to get back to a playoff level, but also gave him names of some of the players on the club's wish list Lets hope this is true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This article, and Jon's "we're still in it, you can't count us out, look at how we're playing..." crapola yesterday seems way too convenient I agree.

And all is well in the land of s***s and giggles, aka the Sox Clubhouse. I luv this team's sense of urgency, now that they're STILL almost 10 games under .500 in August.

At least now KWs feet are in the fire a little bit. Its one thing to speculate that KW is going to be aggressive in the FA market, but now one of his core players is saying that KW has said that he will be pursuing certain players.

I don't think Kenny is going to do anything close to what has been incinuated by Mark, however saying he has some incredible names on his wish list IMO does not equate to being pessimistic. Unless pessimistic = realistic dumbed down a few notches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've accepted that we're stinky and I just have to love it for how it entertains me. It's how I made it during the late 80's and 90's.
