April 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 11:16 AM) When this organization reaches the conclusion that we need to bring Dye back, it's time to call-up the kids and play them everyday. i think i have to agree with you

April 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 12:41 PM) Why, the kids suck? Are you stating the kids suck or are you asking if i'm saying that?
April 30, 201015 yr If it means he's replacing Kotsay or Pierre, I am all for it. If he's playing the field, no. If he's not going to replace either of those two, no as well. Edited April 30, 201015 yr by chw42
April 30, 201015 yr Eh, if he can be the 06/07 Jermaine and DH I would be all for it. Please send Pierre packing.
April 30, 201015 yr "'I'm not going to a bad team, and I'm not playing for $1.5million." don't see him coming here then
April 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 09:10 AM) Anyone have thoughts on the Dye article in the Sun Times today? "Where would he play?" seems appropriate. No. NO. NOOOO!
April 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (earthshiner @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 10:47 AM) "'I'm not going to a bad team, and I'm not playing for $1.5million." Funny how Thome doesn't have a problem playing for $1.5 million. JD needs to get over himself. He's old, the market is bad, he can't play defense anymore, and he couldn't hit during the second half of last season. He's not getting Damon money, or even Teahen money.

Why does he need to get over himself? It sounds like he's got a dollar amount that he is willing to play for and doesn't want to accept less. He's earned over $70 million dollars in his career and I doubt he needs the money. Would you accept a job for 1/3-1/2 of what you thought you were worth if you didn't have to?

Dye cannot play anywhere on the field other than 1B, he an aging past his prime player with barely enough value to be on a roster according to every team in the league.

Has everyone forgotten about Dye claiming hitting .175 in 80+games was because the Sox "replaced" him with Rios?

May 1, 201015 yr QUOTE (WCSox @ Apr 30, 2010 -> 11:18 AM) From what I've heard, Dye hasn't faced live pitching since last September. Even if he did agree to come back as a DH on the cheap, I don't know that he'd even be an offensive upgrade over Kotsay. That seems to be the point people are missing. He would be another .210 hitter for awhile. I get the impression he doesn't want to play baseball anymore.
May 1, 201015 yr No. NO. NOOOO! I say the same thing when talking about several other guys in our lineup. Why not add another?

Would you accept a job for 1/3-1/2 of what you thought you were worth if you didn't have to? He can value himself at whatever dollar amount that he wants. But that doesn't mean that the rest of MLB needs to accept his over-inflated opinion of his current skill set.
May 5, 201015 yr Dye OK With Heavy DH Role Saw this online today, just thought id share it. Thoughts?
May 5, 201015 yr How would Dye fit in as DH here? Andruw Jones has been very very productive. Granted, that PROBABLY won't last the full season, but the only way you bring in JD is if there's some type of injury to Quentin or Jones that knocks them out for a long period of time. Or a second half like Jones went through in TEX. At that point, the White Sox are probably out of contention anyway, so JD would just block getting at-bats from a part of the solution for our future teams. I wish the Royals would sign him, they seem to enjoy picking random veterans to mix in with the young up-and-coming players (Guillen, Bloomquist, Meche, CoCo Crisp, Ankiel, Pods, Jacobs, Olivo, Kendall, Callaspo, etc.)
