If we can trade Teahen and use his money for bullpen help. Maybe cubs will bite because they were wanting Teahen before we got him also.

If anyone would have taken him at this point, he'd be gone already. That might change once the FA market dries up, but not likely.

When I saw the money Teahen's getting on that list, I couldn't help but think of how nicely that could be spent on relievers.

Thought we were only paying 1.5m of Linebrink's salary?

First report said 1.5 but later it was confirmed 3.5.

Sox have a new marketing slogan for 2011 already.

I assume it's "The Kids can play 2"?

All in?

 

I dunno, doesn't really do it for me. There's a joke in there, too.

I hear Adam Dunn is going to bring a big bat to the offense.

No CQ? Hmmmmm

He must have been injured at the time these photos were taken.

Or maybe he's not a part of the 2011 All-In White Sox.

 

Beckham not in the picture also, wouldn't read too much into it.

That's probably due to his bad 2010 season.

Well, we did supposedly dangle him for Adrian Gonzalez.

So does that mean we're moving Castro too?

I liked when Kenny said it, but I hate it as a slogan.

 

It also drives me nuts how poorly designed that billboard is...

Reinsdorf has a long and storied habit of presiding over some pretty terrible ad campaigns. I did like the AJ/Buehrle commercial last year though. That was a nice change of pace. And the original grinder rules was innovative.

Grinder Rules was fantastic. I'm surprised Boyer went with this, or at worst I'm surprised even in their haste he allowed something that could have been designed by someone with 1 class worth of Photoshop 101 to touch the sky as a billboard.

Who's that guy second from the right? He looks mighty sexy in black and white...

I really hope this means we don't have to watch those bland, "White Sox Baseball. It's Black And White" ads ever again.

Yeah, it's pretty brutal. Perhaps they're saving money to go towards payroll but hiring a child to do all signage work for them, not to mention a bizarre choice for the featured players. For anyone that can't see the link here's the billboard:
