The Beast

No... That is a roster post...not offseason when I ask for your opinions on this I mean what would u do REALISTICLY in the offseason...

The more the White Sox wait for him, the more we are screwed. It shows he doesn't want to play for us, but I still have faith. I hope Thomas doesn't come back, and we trade Konerko. That would free up a lot of room to bring back Everett, and bring in a SS, 1b, SP, or a RP. SP-Ponson (Plan B) 1b-Spezio ss-Eckstein, Matsui rp-Hawkins These are the guys at the top of my list...just what I think we should do... I am looking forward to hearing your opinions

I am curious of what moves you think you would do REALISTICALLY... Hired Ozzie Guillen over Cito Gaston-Gaston doesnt seem to care that much about the job... Trade First baseman Paul Konerko to Baltimore for Jason Johnson and minor leaguers. Let Frank Thomas go via Free Agency. Re-sign Bartolo Colon to a 3 year 40 million dollar contract. Pick up the options on Schoenweis and Loaiza Re-sign Tony Graffanino to a 3 year 5 million dollar contract. Re-sign Roberto Alomar to a 2 year 3 million dollar contract. Re-sign Sandy Alomar to a 1 year 500,000 dollar contract Re-sign Tom Gordon to a 2 year 5 million dollar contract. (Incentives 5.0 million) All other Free Agents leave. White Sox fail to trade Carlos Lee and Magglio Ordonez but they manage to dump Konerko to the O's who miss out on Tejada to the Orioles. Sign a veteran to conduct the No. 5 spot. Sign Scott Spezio. I want to hear your opinions!

Beastly, since I'm taking a break from studying, I feel it necessary to give you an education. For starters, your comments on Konerko. Yes, his 2003 season was horrid. However, in 2002, he was an all-star. Therefore, his past two seasons have not been s*** as you have called them. Second, if Alomar carried the team, he didn't do a good job of it. We failed to make the playoffs if that tells you anything. Third, how do we have a hole at catcher? I think Olivo did a fine job this past season and will only get better. And if we were going to get a new catcher, it wouldn't be Jamie Burke. This is a polite critique of your post. Thank you I'll keep that in mind for future references...try to think of this as a personal article guys Alright Mr. Beastly, I will keep that in mind, just trying to help you establish a bit of credibility with your readers sir. Yes sir! Did I ever tell you that you look like Mark Buehrle in that picture?

Harrington may be waived too...just wait for the bulls to get someone from waivers...if I were them I'd try to unload that piece of s*** Eddie Robinson

Fine, he "helped carry the team" you do know that I said IMO...

Its perfect but could u do a few changes... 1.) Move KW to the middle and move Guillen to the outside. 2.) Could you move the flames out of the writing out of the beastly sig 3.) Could you put in letters with the spare room left "The pressure is on Kenny"

Until I get opinions from when the Sox hire a new manager. :=(

Every team seems to have holes in their team except for the Yankees, who lost the World Series. But no team will have more holes than the White Sox, who have 10 free agents out there and available to all the other major league ball clubs. The White Sox Free Agents are: -Tony Graffanino -Carl Everett -Frank Thomas (Mutual Option) -Roberto Alomar -Sandy Alomar Jr. -Bartolo Colon -Scott Sullivan -Esteban Loaiza -Tom "Flash" Gordon -Jose Valentin Knowing the free agents, the question is what wholes need to be addressed. For starters: 1st base-Paul Konerko. This guy is not going to cut it. He has over average fielding but so do other first basemen in the MLB. The past two dismal seasons have been s*** in my opinion, and I feel there is a need for an upgrade. Beastly's upgrade for '04: Scott Spezio, 1b Anaheim Angels. How the move will work: Trade Konerko to the O's for Jason Johnson, and minor leaguers. 2nd base-Roberto Alomar. Alomar, who was acquired by the White Sox in early July, seemed to carry this team since acquired. I thought he could play a few more years with a diminished salary for this team, which would give Willie Harris, Aaron Miles and Jorge Nunez some much needed time for seasoning. Beastly's Verdict for '04: Roberto Alomar How the move will work: For him to catch the veteran's cold to cut his salary by 50 percent. The Sox would only pay about 3-4 million per year, which is not bad for a cheap organization. Shortstop-Jose Valentin. Valentin, who also was acquired by the White Sox in trade before the 2000 season along with Cal Eldred had been a fan favorite before 2003. It seemed as though people hate him now, but talk is that he will return to the Pale Hose for a reduced salary. The guy banged out twenty nine homeruns in '03, yet his average went down at least twenty points from the previous year. Beastly's take for '04: Jose Valentin How this will work: 50 percent paycut. Other Positions that have holes Centerfield Catcher Pitchers Replacements Centerfielder-Rowand Catcher-Burke Pitcher-Colon's replacement-a lesser Free Agent if we cannot re-sign Colon...and our bullpen we can always add too with Adkins and Hawkins from Minnesota All I can say White Sox fans that this offseason will be interesting. Offseason

I'm sorry sir, I was just interested in what he had to say.

The alleged "tirade" he came back with today...can I see the thread and the sig he had?

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=1645625

The events schedule will be in someone's sig...I'll look it up at espn.com

Wouldn't you know if you were having a babya the size of a basketball extending down to ur pussy?

I bet roman bought a new PC in order to post...he probably begged his rents because his IP addy was banned...

I think I have been better as of late, what about you?

I'm also a global mod, not the Sex, Lies and Politics board mod. Read my post in the "I'm gone" thread and you get the jist of how I feel about the entire situation. And hey, I locked a Roman thread today that Roman started and did anybody see Roman_Vengeance's signature? Its sad Roman is trying to get back in to the site

Sorry to be the initiator of trouble fellas: First off, the reason I locked that thread to begin with was that it had his name in the title. I PM'ed Gash twice and acknowledged that I knew it was a joke. After the so-called "civil war," I was trying to stop anything else from happening. Second, I am a global mod and yes, I did talk to APU and he agreed with me that it shouldn't have had the members name in the post title. Third, this is a message board. I have no personal agenda for power. If anything, I'd do mostly anything to help this site out. I think most of you know that. Four, I did not pull off a stunt. This is a message board, I would just like us all to have fun. Again, I apologize for causing an inconveinience to all. Alex No inconvienence buddy.

What about the Hot Chicks!!!!! and whose gunna mod the most important board on the site Please dont go, the thread was unlocked anyway!! I see that there is a spot open in the test forum..let me remind you of being the commish of the successful FF Soxtalk league... If Gash really is gone, if anyone gets Mod duties over that thread it should be me. Yes and so I would like to nominate you WSF!

Yeah but with the unlocked thread I believe people could actually start a reign of terror for Civil War 2 of soxtalk.com
