June 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 08:58 PM) If it is, you're saying JR has money to spend, but not to be used to help the team win this year. Its really a dumb argument. And this proves my point that some fans need to be treated as children, because they are incapable of understanding the complexities of real life.
June 22, 201213 yr The position I do take is that I do not need to audit the team's financials to understand their general financial position. How do you do that? Every team is unique. Its not the NFL. And you know for a fact the White Sox don't have money to acquire a significant player or 2 this season. You're so smart. Edited June 22, 201213 yr by Dick Allen

June 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) I had no other agenda than to see why you didnt know that we bid on Soler. You seem to think if it doesnt come out of Kenny's mouth then we dont know. I think it's pretty clear why I didn't know that we bid on Soler.

At no time have I made that statement.

Because you certainly aren't adding anything to this discussion (although I don't know why that would surprise anyone that is accustomed to reading your posts).

Do you realize JR wants to win as much as anyone, and he knows his time will be up fairly soon? I've not said JR has no money to spend.

Im not the one talking down to people here and saying they need to be talked to like children.
June 22, 201213 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 10:03 PM) At no time have I made that statement. You said you know their general finanical position, and are arguing that even if they offered Soler $25-30 million they don't have money available to acquire players, because the point I was making was if they have money for Soler, they have money to upgrade. You are saying no. That money isn't for in season acquisitions. Every post you're making on this is making me laugh even more.

However, the fact that you are laughing certainly is not anything to suggest I am wrong.

I don't need evidence, Dick. All I stated was that one cannot use our rumored interest in Soler as evidence that we have money to spend on player acquisitions for this year. That does not require evidence. There is a difference between pointing out the gaps in your logic and making a statement myself which depends on some form of actual evidence for its validity.
