nitetrain8601 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Torii ain't coming. We'll be stuck with Owens. My source is my friend who has a friend who has a hunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/news/artic...sp&c_id=cws This will calm things down a bit on here for a couple days. Hunter will likely decide by next tuesday... So don't expect a pre-turkey treat. Hunter is intruiged by the Cabrera aquisition.. Maybe another big splash before tuesday can seal the deal? I expect Crede to be dealt next... or perhaps Kenny can shock the world by acquirering the other Cabrera... although it seems as if the Dodgers and Angels are leading that race...

TimTebow15 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Reportedly, the Rangers have offered him a 6-year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 MLB.com's Scott Merkin reported "a meeting with Hunter and Texas general manager Jon Daniels took place at the home of Rangers owner Tom Hicks on Monday night." Since you were just as sure no dinner was taking place, I'm pretty much doubting you know that Hunter is all but signed. We will know, when we know. Why set yourself up to get egg on your face? Again, believe what you want to believe. I am telling you that I believe he is already signed and an anouncement will come by Monday, but quite possibly even sooner. My guess it will either be announced tomorrow or Monday. We already have him. My opinion. My speculation. I never claimed anyone told me or I got an inside source, I am just voicing my opinion. How does that lead me with egg on my face? Now if I claimed an inside source, like others on here, and nothing happened, then I would have egg on my face. Now, it is just one person's opinion against anothers. So be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason why people are upset with you is that you have tried to pass your opinion as fact up until very recently. That would upset me too. Just stop saying "he's signed, announcement tommorow". If it's your opinion, say, "I think the Sox have him locked. I don't see him signing anywhere else now".

Dick Allen Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 If he was already signed, he wouldn't be getting offers from other teams. It would be financially the biggest acquisition in White Sox history. He would be at a press conference in his new city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would upset me too. Just stop saying "he's signed, announcement tommorow". If it's your opinion, say, "I think the Sox have him locked. I don't see him signing anywhere else now". where did I? Please show me this. I want to see where I said "he's signed, announcement tomorrow," or anything like that. I want to see this. I want to see where I said anything more than I was speculating. I want to see where I said that this was fact and that I have sources. I want to see this. I said from the beginning to believe what you want to believe. I said from the beginning that I had no source. I said from the beginning that I believe it will be announced on Monday if not sooner. I will tell you something - stop placing words in my mouth. If you have a problem looking at a post on a message board and determining if it is fact, fiction, or opinion, then either ask or get help. I will post how I want to post - not how it is best for you. Edited November 20, 2007 by southsideirish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 i really think its 50-50 between the Rangers and Sox right now. . . I just hope Rowand doesn't sign elsewhere first. If he goes elsewhere and Rowand is already locked somewhere we are in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, it isn't a big deal. People should know more than to just go on the word of someone on a message board anyway. People should take that kind of thing for what it's worth. If people really took him seriously and started calling all of their Minnesota friends and talking smack......as Hawk would say....then shame on 'em. Not shame on 'em for talking smack to the Minnesota people of course (that is commended) but for jumping the gun.

You can quote me on this. The deal is done. Torii Hunter is a Chicago White Sox. It will be announced between now and next Monday. There is no doubt about it. The problem that people have is your verbage. Saying "I believe he will be a white sox when all is said and done" is different than your quote. Saying the deal is done, right before Torii has a nice dinner with the owner of another team, his agent, their GM talking about Torii coming to the Rangers. If a team has a deal in place, he would of called off the meeting. You dont go an meet with another team owner, listen to their plans, have them woo you, at the owners house if you are signed already. He may come here, but to say a deal is done with what happened last night is a bit of a far stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering Cowley had the Hunter story a day before your post, even if he did sign by Monday, hearing it from you first wouldn't work either.

Where? I have been a poster on here for 3-4 years and have never claimed inside sources. A deal is done. I believe that. It is done. It will be announced between tomorrow and Monday. I believe that as well. You can quote me on that as well. So when this happens and I am right - you can see who knew what. If I am wrong - then guess what - I was wrong. Big whoopdeedoo.

I find it wierd that you would take that as a fact or how you would determine this to be a fact from me when I stated at least twice during these posts that I have no sources and it is just what I believe. I told others to believe what they want. Where would I get this knowledge to make it seem like a fact? You care Dickie. I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
