Quality outfielder...I think he came from the Giants organization and was moved to the Pirates. The Pirates thought he would do big things and I think he got injured. If I'm thinking of the same player, I remember him having quite a bit of upside. Ok...I double checked and this is the guy I'm thinking of. This is a sweet pickup by the Sox. This is yet another thing I'll write up momentarily. He's 31, but can play good defense. Last seaon he hit .264 with 1 hr, 24 rbi, 16 bb, and 39 k's. He played in 76 games and hits from the left side. He can play both right and left field and has a good arm. His career totals are .276 AVG, 34 HR, 156 RBI, and a .352 OBP. He played in 370 games totalling 917 at bats and had 110 walks with 193 k's. He isn't a real base stealing threat, but isn't slow either.

Thanks Catcher is a huge questionmark with them. They have Mark Dalesandro who caught quite a few games for them last year. He isn't anything special and is pretty much a stopgap for a very weak catching core in the minors. Well, that core is weak as long as Olivo is at the major league level. They also have Lee Evans. The Sox could also sign someone or move someone up from AA, although there is nothing special when it comes to catching their. If Paul goes down to AAA (He's have to clear waivers) then he's likely be the starting catcher, but many believe the Sox will carry 3 catchers entering next season.

Sn Report: White Sox Finalizing Deals For Gordon; Rios By Jason Gage Written January 15, 2003 Both signings are pending physicals.

Guys...this is reminding me a whole lot like the Angels offseason of a year ago. They added two starters, we've added on high high level starter. We've rebuilt the bullpen, and are looking to bring in Flash Gordon and an outfielder. This is looking AWESOME!!!!!!!! By the way....maybe next year KW will be wearing a World Series RING

We only gave up one minor leaguer in Lantigua, who isn't on the same level as many of our prospects. We didn't give up anyone remotely considered super high in our system, which was awesome. And Liefer...forget about it. Osuna...he's gonna be replaced, maybe even by tomorrow, and well Biddle, was replaced with Colon and now Rauch gets his opportunity.

Gordon throws harder...97 mph or so, and he has a nasty nasty curve. If healthy, Gordon is a much better pitcher, but health is the key.

He is close to signing Tom Gordon...I'm going to have a report up on that in an hour or so. I'll do it during my lunch break.

Well...maybe the list will be growing to include BARTOLO COLON at Soxfest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our rotation will be sweet. Its gonna be Colon, Buerhle, Garland, Wright, Rauch. Now this whole lineup is really starting to come out. Liefer is now gone and we are going to be signing Flash for the bullpen. This is looking real sweet. Oh ya, now I could really see the Sox signing Jose Cruz Jr as a replacement for Liefer or at least Orlando Palmerio.

I want to buy tickets for the dodgers games right f***ing now! I'm with you on that.

Minor League Preview - Charlotte Knights By Jason Gage Written January 15th, 2003

Well...I know one thing..I'm gonna be giving KW some credit tonight when I write my commentary. I always believed we could get Colon and now I'm just so excited. I'm figuring everyone else is as well.

They can't be happy with this deal, considering they didn't get any top flight prospects. I know I'm real excited about this deal. I'll have a commentary written on it when I get home from work.

Sn Report: White Sox Acquire Colon By Jason Gage Written January 15th, 2003

Thats sweet if it is true. Writeup will be up in about 10 minutes on the main page.

I'm confused Too tired to figure things out. I just know 271 is a heck of a lot for a pitcher.

I want a Steinberg to be named later.

Thats why I'm going to sleep...got work early in the morning and that will also take my mind off of whats going on. I've done enough thinking and speculating for one month, let alone one day.

She definately can't sing. Stupid Stupid songs...just cause she's an Ozborne she gets all this fame. I mean we know people made an excuse for Brittney Spears because of the body, but I could care less about a name. Oh wait...I forgot they are both talented talented singers.

You guys will have about 10 days where I'm away from the board...I leave on Saturday, and I forget when I come back. I know I could use the break.

Here's an article I wrote on another page about Kordell... The Bears Answer at QB

Well I hope your happy with the deal, cause if your happy, then it means we gave up pretty much nothing, cause your about the toughest to please

Sn Report: Colon, Vazquez Talks Heat Up By Mario Scalise Written: January 15th, 2003

Well..I can give up West and Malone if needed, although I'd rather give up West and Stewart from the minors. Paul

Well..if any team could take on Tatis's salary it would be the Yanks, but does George really want to add more salary. In all honesty, I don't think the Yanks are involved, they are just throwing rumors out there to piss off the Red Sox and make sure he don't go there. George will drop out if its just the White Sox.
