QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Dec 15, 2005 -> 12:25 PM) But you can't guarantee a LCS berth. The issue really is do you move Garland now for a need/prospects who are less suspect than draft picks, or hold onto him and pick up a couple draft picks when he leave.... The draft picks are less likely to pay off, and are farther down the line from contributing. I'm asking you to play along with me and peer into the Crystal ball. Would you take Garland or the prospects if you knew you had a pretty good shot at another title with him?

I swear I posted in this thread, but I don't see it anywhere anyway what I meant to say was...if you could have Garland for 06 only knowing he'd walk but you'd get to at least to the CS (not knowing whether you'd win or lose the CS or series) or two top prospects, which would you rather have?

Okay, let's say that the Sox get to the ALCS minimum with Garland in 2006 (You don't know if they will win, or win the World Series). You can either have Garland in 2006 and get nothing for him and watch him walk, or you get any two reasonable prospects you want right now. Which do you choose?

WHERE WOULD HE PLAY, KENNY? WHERE?????

QUOTE(LoFiStew @ Nov 30, 2005 -> 04:01 PM) This is great news. I don't think they need to make any more major moves -- this team is good enough to repeat. We don't need Juan Pierre. His offense isn't enough to overcome his defensive flaws, especially considering how much more money he'd cost over Brian Anderson. Re: the batting order -- I think Thome should definitely hit 3rd, with Paulie remaining in the cleanup spot. Thome is an on-base machine (career .408 OBP), thus his productivity would maximized higher in the order. And don't worry about Thome's lack of speed -- he's scored over 100 runs seven times in his career. Remember that Konerko -- despite being the slowest guy on the team -- led the Sox in runs scored (98) in 2005, largely because he led the team in OBP (.375). Speed is useless if you can't get on base consistently. Here's my lineup: 1. Podsednik LF 2. Iguchi 2B 3. Thome DH 4. Konerko 1B 5. Dye RF 6. Pierzynski C 7. Crede 3B 8. Anderson CF 9. Uribe SS Can't wait for the 2006 season! It's either gonna be Dye-Thome-Konerko or Konerko-Thome-Dye. Going R-L-R with your biggest boppers makes the most sense to give the opposing manager matchup problems.

just reported on ESPN 1000

WITHIN THE HOUR!!!!

I wanna be in the Thome fan club too!

My point was that Konerko will get offered at least one more year and possibly two, and up to $20 million more in total money. I realize this is a starting point, but seems like this is Williams also saying "okay, what is the lowest we can offer him"

Awesome. Congrats, Ozzie. FWIW I'd rather have had Williams get executive and Wedge get manager than this scenario. Williams deserved it more.

does anyone else feel that 4/52 is shockingly (almost insultingly) low in terms of years/total money

okay, maybe I should take off the rose colored glasses and put down the pipe but, damn, it's nice to romanticize this sort of thing

I was under the impression that the entire reason the ankle was re-injured was because he rushed back, and with the proper healing this time around, it would be fine eventually. He says he has no pain. That's why I said "say Frank is healthy". I mean in a Tedy Bruschi "good as never having the stroke" kind of way. Older, sure, maybe a little more prone to injury, but as fit as ever and in great shape.... I wouldn't be against having that option...for that price...

Any chance he could play first base if Paulie goes? Or is that something the White Sox would never look at doing again?

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) TM. I got DS and CS fees refunded. WS should be credited over the next few days.. I'll let you know if I got them or had to call. Awesome. Thanks, Steff!

QUOTE(Steff @ Nov 3, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) Incorrect. Greg, call and complain. Everyone I know who has, has gotten them credited back. Cool. Call ticketmaster or call the white sox? I'm assuming ticketmaster.

Does anyone know if we can get the ticketmaster fees refunded from unused CS and WS tickets?

I know people are gonna say "who f***ing cares" but guys...ONE WEEK after we win the world series ESPN can't wait to get a poll up there saying we're number 2.

Man, they couldn't' wait to take us down a peg. Wait till you see who's number 1. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?p...rrank2006_early

I was at the same game, but I gotta believe game 2 of either the CS or the WS has gotta take the cake...

I still haven't even seen the video myself lol. It doesn't work at all for me. Also, the d/l limit was reached, so if you haven't d/l'ed it yet you're not going to. If someone wants to re-up it, use http://www.yousendit.com

ugh. I will be sifting through the pms this morning if it doesn't work, sorry! there's also a d/l limit so let me know when that is reached.

MJH just said no gold gloves for White Sox

can ANYONE who got this to work, please convert it to an MPEG and reupload at this site http://www.yousendit.com
