QUOTE(kane0730 @ Mar 22, 2007 -> 01:01 PM) Didn't KW hint (I want to say on an radio interview) that they offered McCarthy for Soriano? I might be mistaken on that. But I think the Sox are in a much better position to deal this deadline, compared to last July. agreed, however, i'm not so sure KW will be willing to trade away a lot of the pieces he just acquired. I guess it will all depend on our needs/situation when the deadline come along and who is out there.

pass on this deal. If we are going to trade Mack ( who i personally like as a player) we should wait until we are into the season and see what we really need. If we still need a CF there will be more and better options out there than Brady Clark.

sounds like the offense is struggling and haeger is giving up deep outs. Lets get it together boys!

QUOTE(BFirebird @ Mar 19, 2007 -> 02:38 PM) Teahen will light up more than just White Sox pitchers. KC has a couple of good young hitters: Alex Gordon, Shealy and Teahen. I guess all of those years in the cellar should produce some good players. Sweeney is the ultimate Sox killers the past few years. Luckily he's been hurt and missed us a lot. Travis Hafner has to be up on that list too!

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 01:33 PM) Even though many on this board, including myself, hate prancer, we can all agree that when he is on his game and stealing bases, this team is so much better. i agree and i dont hate him. Hopefully these injuries are past him and he has a big year!

QUOTE(WHITESOXRANDY @ Mar 16, 2007 -> 11:15 AM) It looks like the So xcould be leaning toward keeping Perez so that makes Mack. expendable. Even though I like him, it seems that the Sox won't need him. Anybody think that the Sox could get something good for him ? What team could really use him ? I think that he would be good for a team that needs a solid backup at the corners and third base or has an injury at one of those positions. Could he bring a nice prospect back ? Tough to tell. He could probably bring back a decent prospect, but im a fan of mack. I doubt they are looking to ship him but i could be wrong.

if danks deserves it i say give him a shot! I'm am part of the denks bandwagon!

very nice! thanks for posting it!

i think its pretty damn funny

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Mar 9, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) I wouldn't have a problem with that type of deal at all. The problem is I think the Phillies would want more, based on prior times Rowand's name has been involved in trade talks. they probably read all these threads and think we would give up the farm for Rowand!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 04:32 PM) Its now 7-4 Rocks, going to bottom of 8. Boooooooooooooone in to pitch. BOOOOOOOOOne is right! i should be nicer, don't want to hurt his fragile feelings!

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2007 -> 10:31 AM) We already have a predictions thread, but I'm curious what people think on the three questions below. No matter how many stats we look at or how much scouting people do, there are always surprises when the season gets going. So what will those be? Regarding your 2007 White Sox... 1. Who will be the most improved or most surprising player(s)? 2. Who will have the biggest drop-off or most disappointing season(s)? 3. What is the X Factor on this team? In other words, what is the one dynamic, situation or player that will have the greatest single effect on the outcome of the season? My answers... 1. Juan Uribe. I think Juan settles down and decides to take more control of his swing, and has a season similar to 2004. Average in the 270's, 25+ HR, good situational hitting. And the usual excellent defense, maybe even better, due to his looking much more in shape. I'd even say he'll steal a few bases again, maybe 5 to 10. He's going to be thinking about the future, and I think he'll be motivated by his offseason troubles. 2. Joe Crede and Mark Buehrle. Much as I hate to say it because Crede is my favorite player on the team, but I think his average comes down to earth (maybe .260 or so), HR total is similar or maybe a little lower. I think last year was a career year for him. His defense will still be excellent, though, and he may actually draw a few more walks than last year, on the positive side. As for Buehrle, he won't be as bad as the 2nd half last year, but he won't recover to his former self either. I'd guess an ERA in the 4.25 to 4.50 range, and he'll basically look like a mid-rotation guy. I don't know why I think this, since its a contract year for him and history would seem to indicate he'll recover, but for some reason I have a bad feeling about his 2007 season. 3. Injuries will dictate the fortunes of the team. If this team is healthy, they will be competitive for a playoff spot. But the Sox have been extraordinarily fortunate with injuries the last few years, and that is unlikely to continue. And where those injuries occur will dictate their effect. The Sox have depth and can handle injuries semi-well at corner OF, 3B, the pen, and even starting pitching. 1B, kind of. But if the injuries hit SS, 2B or C, the team will suffer in a big way. 1. I think the most improved or suprising player will be buehrle. This is simply based on last year, but i think buehrle will return to form and give us a great year. 2. Most disappointing, Jim Thome. While i think he will have a decent year, he showed signs of his age down the stretch last year. I also worry he will be forced to sit a lot this year, possibly with injuries. 3. This may sound cliche but remembering how to execute all the small things will be the sox X-factor. Bunting, advancing the runner, getting sac flys. Playing "Ozzie Ball" or smart ball or whatever, while it sounds dumb and obvious was one of the main reasons the sox did not make the playoffs last year and will be a crucial aspect to their success this season.

my head says he will be gone and my heart hopes he stays. i think he will be worth every penny he gets and the decision to let him go will haunt the sox for years IMO. In my perfect world crede would be locked up and fields would be getting ready to be our LF.

for how inflated the market is this could be a great signing. we all know that javy is at least a average pitcher and average pitchers were making this much. the difference b/t someone like lilly and vazquez is that javy has a much higher ceiling and better stuff IMO.

here's hoping javy is lights out today!!!

YAY!!! hopefully one less things to worry about.

that cant be true! BO KNOWS EVERYTHING!!! except smoking cigarettes of course

there is really nothing to write about right now so the journalist is trying to stir up some controversy between the two clubs. its lazy and irresponsible journalism. and stupid at that.

In. thanks!

good luck dustin!!!
