Right now this is what I got off the top of my head Jimenez Manos Thomas Ordonez Konerko Lee Crede Rowand Olivo Bench: Alomar Daubach Rios Graffy Harris Rotation Colon Buerhle Garland Wright Rauch/Loiaza (It will eventually be Rauch full time, I'm confident in that) Bullpen White Flash Marte Glover Wunsch/Sanders/Munoz (Likely Wunshc, but we'll see what happens) Koch

Rob that was a great article and I sure hope that Rauch wins the 5th starter slot and if he doesn't, it better only be because the Sox aren't planning on using a 5th starter so instead they carry someone like Loiaza so Rauch can get more work in down in AAA until they need a full time 5th man. Rauch is going to be really good.

I'll second that. Happy BDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pitchers and Catchers report and its your bday

welcome aboard whitesoxpride good point clujer, the #1 guy will probably face the pedros, the zitos, the freddy garcias, the whoever twins ace is, and the #2 guy will probably get the easier guys. so yes i think the #2 guy will probably get a bit more wins, but colon and buerhles talents are sure close i'd say 21 for each Its all good, the Sox will beat the Pedros, Zito's, etc

I like Wunsch out of the lefty slot. I agree with what everyone else says, him and Marte both compliment eachother as well. Still, Sanders and Munoz are really talented as well, but I think for them to earn the slot they'd have to pitch absolutely fantastic while Wunsch struggled. One thing if we had Sanders or Munoz, we'd have guys that could probably throw more innings.

Its awesome that he's at spring training already. Should give him more time to meet some of the new players, get his game face on, and be ready for the start of the year. Frank is going to rock this year!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats the thing, I don't really think Jimenez is replaceable. Thats why I'm scared when it comes to the top of the lineup. Yes, we have Willie Harris, the only other guy truly capable of leading off, but he hasn't shown me a thing that proves he could leadoff. I think Jimenez can do it, but we don't really know.

How far is that from Sioux Falls? My dads side of the family lives in a very very small town in Iowa, about 20 minutes outside of Sioux Falls.

I love QOS and I still think Zwan is pretty good, but its not as good as QOS. Heather, if i were you I'd be getting tickets to that right now, as in RIGHT NOW!!!

I've started a bit of work on it. It will probably take me a long ass time though. I've been really slow at things. Its kind of a test, test, test process cause I don't even have a clue what different color schemes really edit and then I got to blend it all together and for a not so artistically gifted person, it leaves me with great difficulties. I did the colors a lot faster on the old board, but this one I really want everything perfect. And for those who don't want a new color scheme, the option will always be there to keep this one. Its going to be a thing where you can choose which color scheme you have by going into your profile. That way everyone is happy, unless they think my new color scheme stinks

Ya, I saw a couple on ebay for like 40 bucks and was going to buy one to be my first jersey, but don't know if I should. I think they are really sweet and they would match my 1917 White Sox hat.

Well Colon is more proven, but I think Buerhle could win a ton as well. Its going to be close. I seriously see at least one of them winning 22 games. Its kind of this magic number that fell into my head. By the way welcome aboard. I am pretty confident that they will combine for 40 wins though.

since when did that start?????? I think its always been that way. I'm not really a stickler for following the rules. One day we'll get an email warning us, then I'll become more of a hardass, lol.

yes but if i did that as a choice, there wouldnt be much choice anymore would there? Still, I'm with Witesoxfan. I'm up for a new category. Lets be like the YANKEES!!!!!!!!!!!! I say 10 straight World Series.

Its got to be Thomas. If he steps up to his prior form, aka two time MVP form, then this will be the most potent offense in the majors and could compete as one of the greatest of all time. Of course other things would still have to fall into place and guys like Maggs, PK, etc would have stay healthy.

Speaking of Larence I know some of us have had discussions in the past about bringing him in. The guy is a really talented pitcher that doesn't get much love from the national media. Well, he's not amazing, but he would of been a sweet backup plan had the Sox not landed Colon. Thank goodness we did though

Well, got some great news. It seems like they have been able to fix the problem without having to change harddrives or anything. I was informed the problems some of you noticed were them working on solving the problem. Everything should be working great again

I'm one of the many ones from California. I was born and raised here. The only reason I think I ended up liking the Sox is because my mom was from Chicago and for some reason I was interested in it, mainly because i loved snow as a kid or something. Then I would get to see them and the Cubs on WGN and Frank and Robin just became my favorite players. I loved watching the Sox and always will. Every since I was 5 or 6 yrs old I'd read the sports page in the morning and always check up on the standings and that type of stuff.

I want the Series badly.

I kind of like that look, they are bright though. Anyone know if the Sox uni's are changing at all, aka alternate ones.

Ya, WSC, you got to post the links on stuff like that. Your allowed to post snippets of an article, just never the full thing or I think thats how it works. I am glad to see that Graffy is going to be healthy though. I've been waiting to hear news on him a long time. Hopefully he'll be 100% and be the Graffy I enjoyed seeing coming off the bench.

I'm just not creative

The guy will be a great leader out of that pen, even if we don't use him a lot. I love the idea of having a few role playing vets on the bench and in the pen. We got Alomar and Daubach on the bench and to a lesser extent Rios and then White and Gordon in the pen.

I'm with ya all. Lets keep this stuff White Sox related on the most part. I wonder when the Sox will announce who goes opening day. I think we all know its Colon. The big thing I'm curious is whose going to be the 5th starter.
