Rowand44 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) 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.

Harry Chappas Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 The players choosen are the most recornizable, highest paid and a little ethnic. The fact the quality of players not choosen is as high as it is is more impressive to me. Think of what that would have looked like in previous years. Peavy, Jackson, Beckham, Quentin, Danks, Floyd and Thorton could have been the best players on previous teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamshack Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 So Kenny is saying we're most likely not going to be able to sign any marquee (or even recognizable, for that matter) names for the pen, and so that he will have to get creative via the trade market. He also did mention that Sale would most likely join the rotation for the beginning of the season, impliedly until Peavy can return. After signing Konerko, Sox turn to relievers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwritecode Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 9, 2010 -> 03:30 PM) 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. IIRC, the Grinder Rules were the idea of an advertising company that they no longer work with. Someone from the company (owner?) posted on WSI for a little while.
