QUOTE(Steff @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:25 PM) = no chance. As much as I hate you for killing my dreams of Ken Griffey Jr in a White Sox jersey, thanks for bringing in common sense. I know he won't be here anytime soon.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 01:01 PM) Over Honel’s last three starts, he’s pitched a total of 19 innings and given up only 13 hits and 5 earned runs to the tune of a 2.37 ERA. Honel has had only one bad start in the month of July, at Huntsville, where he gave up 8 earned runs in only 2 2/3 innings. Throwing out that start, he has had a 2.88 ERA for the month of July with a mere 19 hits allowed in 25 innings, including a start against a loaded Jacksonville lineup which did a lot for Honel’s confidence. Thanks for the info. Sounds good. Hopefully he continues over the year.

QUOTE(GBlum27 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) You know this how? QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:50 PM) How do you know that the Sox can't get Griffey. There's a good chance that he would clear waivers and KW has already shown a willingness to deal good prospects for him, the only thing blocking the deal would be the Cincy Ownership group. Why would you bring up Clemens adn Bonds, the Sox have a 1000000% higher chance of landing Griffey than either of those two what because we could of had them in Free Agency? s*** comparison. Because simply, there's every other team in the league that has to say no to Griffey before we even get a shot. Their owner Lindner(I think it is) basically didn't trade him from a PR standpoint. All Red fans feel that way and that basically the owner won't deal Griffey unless it's for a major league player back. The fans(Red Fans) personally think that it would just be better for them to get rid of Griffey, but if you read their board, they don't see it happening. They think there's a better shot moving Casey's contract. As far as Bonds and Clemens, I believe they made it known that they wanted to sign with the White Sox. Frank wanted Belle here over Bonds IIRC and Schueler thought Clemens was washed up so he didn't sign him. I honestly think there was a waaaaaaay better chance of those two signings happening over Griffey clearing waivers over every team in the majors to get to us.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:48 PM) Thanks Kalapse and 2k5....all this "Put Aaron in left and Griffey in CF"is moot... Yeah, cas this deal isn't happening.

Wait, why are we talking about this? This deal didn't get done and I know it won't. Sad I know, but I hate having to talk about guys we could've had. Especially my 2nd favorite player ever. I mean if we talk about Griffey, we might as well talk about Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds(both guys we could've had).

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:39 PM) J Hood said that The Rockies dont want to resign Fuentes and will probably be put on waivers. On Sporting News Radio I heard Guardado's name mentioned that he'd be a guy that would pass through waivers cause of his injury and contract. Ive been high on Fuentes for a month now and this guy is good. I dont know what Guardado' contract is though. Either way, Fuentes and Guardado, both lefties, good closers. But I agree with you I'd like to see another reliever. J Hood also on Saturday that he would be suprised if Jose Conteras makes the playoff roster. Shows how much that guy knows about the White Sox despite his claims of rooting for the White Sox. He pulls so much s*** out of his ass.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:37 PM) Yeah but corner OFers put a lot more torque on their legs, J.D. Drew was talking about it, that's why he pretty much only plays CF now becuase his legs are in as bad shape as Griffeys and LF/RF put more stress on your legs than CF. Then I would say Rowand would play LF and Griffey CF.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) If you really want to get excited, think of all the young arms in our system. Not to mention the re-emergence of Honel. What is Honel doing in the minors?

QUOTE(Ozzie Montana @ Aug 3, 2005 -> 12:27 PM) Interesting but there is no space for Junior. Unless maybe if we moved Dye to SS and Junior to right and Uribe as backup INF. Anyways I dont got any feelings on Bor for Bor. I wouldnt see either contrubuting that much to the Sox in September and in the playoffs. There's a spot called DH. You could put a hitter there who you don't want to play the field. Honestly if the White Sox were to get him in that deal, then I could see Griffey going to LF and Pods becoming a DH since Pods isn't so great at fielding.

I wish I could say there is honest hope for this deal to go down through waivers, but it won't happen. Good call Rowand. Reds management is dumb. I'd say Griffey would make it past the Yanks and Red Sox, but there are teams like the Angels he wouldn't make it past. Also remember that the Blue Jays and Tigers want to get a payroll of over 100 million within the next couple of years. This is a move they would definately make as well.

I would look over the shoulder if I were the Sox too. Didn't the A's go on a crazy streak 2 years back after the all-star break when everyone thought they were out?

I signed. Great logo

Crede of course. I have a huge waiting list just to join Crede's Crew. Sorry if some of you guys can't join prior to the playoffs

Let's whoop their ass!!!!!!!

I thought they overreacted on that too.

I've always thought that he's connected with the fans quite well. I really haven't met anyone that's a fan that think he's a jackass or pompous idiot. His refusal to really deal with the media is what made the media turn him into a "bad guy."

Hopefully Cotts sucess shortarming the pitch isn't the reason why Damaso or Viz does it now. Because those guys shouldn't be short arming anything.

Hopefully this move doesn't come to bite us back in the ass.

Sweep those damn A's.

He's being mature about it. He'll be brought back up when the rosters expand IMO. Just has to do his duty down there. Maybe it gives him a chance to develop being played everyday.

Rogowski for Tejada. Get it done Kenny.

Contreras wouldn't be able to clear waivers. Yanks would pick him up right away. If not them, the Red Sox.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Jul 31, 2005 -> 03:01 PM) Blame the market, not the GM. I liked Kenny's only move and I think he did his absolute best to improve the ballclub. Thoughts? EDIT: Someone wanna throw a T in "Reaction?" Thanks! Upset, but like you I blame the market, not Kenny.

Honestly, I also don't see anyone passing through waivers that we can get unless it's Ken Griffey Jr.
