sorry mods if I missed this, please kill it or merge it if needed

Ding dong, Pods is gone.

Yay

Egbert, Russell, Lucas Harell, Cole Armstrong (?!?) added to 40 man. No Bourgeois. Roster is at 40.

Anyone have anything on Armstrong?

Well, now we know that they'll definitely be going after a new leadoff hitter. No one in the organization fits that bill right now.

Halle-f***ing-lujah! Unfortunate that it's two years too late, but...

 

White Sox Baseball: Just like our scouting, we eventually got it right!

Oh sweet, sweet day of redemption!

From Rotoworld:

 

Jack Egbert-S-White Sox Nov. 20 - 4:42 pm et

 

White Sox purchased the contracts of RHP Jack Egbert, RHP Lucas Harrell, RHP Adam Russell and C Cole Armstrong.

 

Egbert and Russell, along with Gio Gonzalez, all figure to be part of Triple-A Charlotte's rotation, leaving them just one step away from the majors. Russell could end up in the pen long-term, but Egbert is a sleeper to contribute in fantasy leagues in 2008.

 

 

Scott Podsednik-OF-White Sox Nov. 20 - 4:40 pm et

 

White Sox designated outfielder Scott Podsednik for assignment

 

The assumption was that Podsednik would be non-tendered next month, but the White Sox needed his roster spot now. Podsednik could still be traded over the next 10 days. If that doesn't happen, he'd go on waivers. However, he has the service time to declare himself a free agent if claimed

I don't think that taste is there...

Thanks for 2005 Pods. The walk off was sweet. Best wishes.

Jerry Owens...

From what I recall reading, good defensive catcher. That's about all I remember.

White Sox lore; I thank him for that and not much else

So, wait, Bourgeois is not on the 40 man so he's rule 5 eligibile...and now the 40 man is full so it's impossible for us to sign anyone without dropping a player first?

I say this is one of the top three days in white sox history.

I thought you would be quite pleased.

 

Now we've just got to find a better replacement. Whether we can do that, will be interesting to see.

 

I now wait for someone to start the "Who can we get for Pods" thread followed by someone's suggestion of going after Matt Kemp with Pods.

I thought this was odd also. If the Hunter signing is imminent, why would they fill the 40 man. Either it's not imminent or there will need to be a trade for someone on it (Crede/Uribe) first. Doesn't sound like the Hunter deal is as close as some thought.

So there, Eggy on the 40 man.

Well he has been brutal the past two years and I'm very happy he's gone. That being said, he obviously was a vital part of a Championship team and we don't win it with out him. Good luck to him wherever he ends up.

Hopefully Bourgeois will take the spot of Cintron.

Pods doesn't need luck, he's got....

 

Even if we get Hunter do you think we make a play for Crisp to play LF. Also what kind of package would it take to get melky cabrera, the yanks don't necessarily have en everyday spot for him with Damon, Matsui, and Abreu.

Plus I think Shannon Stewart is an option for LF he can probably be had for about $5 Mil per year and will hit .290 ish.

 

Bourgeois is a free agent.
