Just heard that Carlos Quentin signed a three year extension with Padres.

3 years, $27 million.

 

Not bad for him I guess.

Danks will throw in a bullpen session tomorrow

Cross you fingers, toes, and anything else you got.

According to Bruce Levine the Sox are looking for a starting pitcher

Better be someone they control for next year also

Yes please

After all these years some of you still don't know Kenny.

 

There is no way he doesn't make a trade IMO.

Hey Bruce, welcome to three weeks ago. I heard we are also looking for a 3B and RH RHP.

Danks expected to throw on side tomorrow. White Sox GM Kenny Williams hoping for late August rreturn

#WhiteSox inquired on Ichiro. Were led to believe he was unavailable. #Mariners #Yankees #MLB -- Dan Hayes

 

Ok..

 

Which probably means Viciedo would have been traded for a pitcher

Maybe a platoon player with Viciedo? aka bench help?

GM Kenny Williams on any way Sox potentially become sellers at trade deadline instead of buyers: "Oh hell no."

If they were willing to replace Viciedo with Ichiro, it pretty much tells me they're going to deal Viciedo for a SP.

Agree

But it's like Blaze said, there's no way Kenny stands pat.

I'd rather have Pierre than Ichiro, considering Suzuki's salary they would have been on the hook for...

 

 

12:$17M$25M ($5M annually) deferred at 5.5% interest, reducing deal’s average annual value to $16.1M (deferred money to be paid in annual installments Jan. 30 beginning year after his retirement)

limited no-trade clause allowing Ichiro to specify 10 clubs to which he may not be traded without his consent

performance and award bonuses, including $50,000 for All Star selection

interpreter, trainer, transportation for Spring Training & regular season

4 annual round-trip airline tickets from Seattle to Japan

housing allowance: $32,000 in 2008, $33,000 in 2009, $34,000 in 2010, $35,000 in 2011, $36,000 in 2012

But it's like Blaze said, there's no way Kenny stands pat.

 

I don't know if they have the assets to get a good SP. They might have made their moves already.

Anyone know if there's a record for number of days a Sox team was in first without making the playoffs? 62 seems like a lot to me (especially a bummer for a team I don't think will make the playoffs)

Not sure, 2004 was the last team to be in first place on June 1st and not make it.

 

1994?

Could be 2006 as well.
