http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5806646?FSO1&ATT=HMA "Ken Rosenthal / FOXSports.com Posted: 3 minutes ago The White Sox are interested in Nationals left fielder Alfonso Soriano, FOXSports.com has learned. But what is their intent? While Soriano would represent an upgrade over White Sox left fielder Scott Podsednik, the Sox's far greater need is an impact setup man. What's more, Soriano is a free agent at the end of the season, and Sox officials have adamantly denied that they would trade top prospects for a two-month rental. The true motive for White Sox G.M. Ken Williams might be drive up the price for the Tigers, who lead the Sox in the A.L. Central by 61/2 games. Or, Williams might want to acquire Soriano as part of a three-way deal that would bring his team a reliever while keeping Soriano away from the Tigers. Could Alfonso Soriano be rounding the bases for the White Sox? (Keith Srakocic / Associated Press) The Mariners continue to discuss Soriano with the Nationals, and the Angels and Yankees remain possible darkhorses as they wait for the Nationals' price to drop. The Nationals, seeking a center fielder, likely want White Sox rookie Brian Anderson. But the Sox, who sent center-field prospect Chris Young to the Diamondbacks in the Javier Vazquez trade, aren't interested in moving Anderson. Adding Soriano to the majors' highest-scoring offense would seem like overkill, but the lack of quality pitching on the trade market is forcing teams to ponder creative solutions. The White Sox's pursuit of Soriano might be just that. Or it might be a strategic smokescreen and nothing more." It would be amazing if we got this guy. Get it done Kenny!!!

Tune into the Minor League Allstar game from 6pm to 9pm on ESPN2. Watch our stud, Josh Fields. (our future Left Fielder in the very near future )

QUOTE(beautox @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 01:03 PM) ha!, don't you know Kenny can make something out of nothing. you should have more faith in KW it would serve you well Are you retarded? I said if he pulls it off it would be a masterpiece. So that is a compliment and I do have faith in KW. Thinking before speaking, "would serve you well"

He has no value at this point to be tradeable. If he does get traded, it would be another Ken Williams masterpiece then.

Iguchi is DA MAN!!!

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 10:18 PM) I never liked the idea of kids singing at games or announcing lineups. All these additions for kids takes away from the game. I hate all the little gimmicks parks do for kids, its places like Yankee Stadium and Fenway that show the true game of baseball. I agree. Enough is enough allready. Gene is the voice of the sox. Is nothing sacred in the game of baseball anymore?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 21, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) Relax. I think the Sox get almost 3000 grand a pop for letting a kid do the lineups for two innings.... Ahh...is this that fantasy experience thing?

From what I hear on the TV, they have kids announcing the batters as they walk to the plate now...... Where the heck is Gene Honda, the voice of the Cell...?? I dont want this cutesy stuff with kids. We are the World Champs DAMNNIT!!!

Josh Fields!!!

For once I disagree with Ozzie. We are WorldChamps and were playing pussys*** baseball. Tracey was the most effected pitcher tonight and he was defending his team. Thats f***ed up for Ozzie to yell at him.

NO!!!! Not MAN SOO!!!!!!!!

Haha yeah I agree with the previous poster, Gload is our best buneter on the team. I bet Ozzie well play him more now after seeing that.

I always thought Gload got good wood everytime he got to the plate, but I just knew he just needs more consisten At-Bats to get a rhythem going. I wonder if he could possibly play OF, because I think we need to get him in the lineup more often. Remember a couple years ago when he hit that Grand Slam against the flubbies at Wrigley, but it was just foul...? Ahh....good Ross Gload memories....

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 1, 2006 -> 04:36 PM) Amen. So... Mariotti is an expert, too, because he writes? :rolly Marriotti writes his opinion on things. Scouts are COMPLETELY different. Scouts actually have a job to do.

Like I said, hes not a bad outfielder.....there were clips of him when he played CF with the Brewers with him making good reads and great catches on MLB.com, but ever since he got traded they deleted those clips. Scouting Report: Baserunning & Defense Speed is Podsednik's game-he's among the fastest guys in baseball. He's a reliable, and sometimes spectacular, center fielder, covering the considerable gap between Jenkins in left and the team's 2004 right-field combo of Brady Clark and Ben Grieve. Podsednik also throws well. http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/playerScouting?categoryId=85346 I believe these scouts are much better than any of us.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 31, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) Sticking him in lf right now would be a bad idea. Maybe we should trade either Fields or Crede in a blockbuster. Pick one and hope for Kenny magic. Surely your kidding..... Podsednik is not a bad outfielder. I think hes made a couple of bad plays and you guys have jumped all over him. Show me video of him being a bad outfielder. He would be a suitable CF with tons of speed and can cover alot of ground. You guys need to get off the Podsednik hate wagon.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) Fields strikes out 31% of the time he goes to the dish. 52ks already. How is that going to translate to the majors. I think the .329 average. the 9HRs, the 29RBI's, the .598 slugging %, the 1.021 OB% and the 98TB will translate alot better to the majors than Anderson's numbers.

All I can say is Kenny is thinking about doing it. And he knows alot more about baseball than any of us. I was (and still am) a big supporter of Brian Anderson at the beginnning of the season, but I am just tired of watching him either swing and balls in the dirt and strike out or hit the first pitch and its an easy, weak two-chopper to the infield. Something is wrong with the guys swing/mecanics, so let him go to the minors and figure it out.

What is the one TV show you don’t like to miss? Josh Fields: Viva La Bam, in the off-season I got to watching it pretty much every single time it was on. Haha, this proves that he would be a banger outfielder.....now I know you guys love those types.

QUOTE(Cuck the Fubs @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) How bad is Fields' arm? You can mask one bad arm, but 2 you can't. Note I could have mentioned the Cubs OF in this, but I am refusing to. I dont think it can be bad. He was a quarterback in college.

I have seen highlights of Pods playing center with the Brewers. And he made some decent catches. I think you guys seriously undeerate him. QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ May 31, 2006 -> 12:10 AM) Fields might lead baseball in strikeouts that way. Seriously dumb idea. In what way would he lead the league in strikeouts? Please explain.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 30, 2006 -> 11:59 PM) I severly doubt our organization rushes Fields. Especially when you consider he's only played a handful of games in LF. Another problem is expectations. Do you believe he'll hit immediately upon promotion? I doubt it. Hell, he may hit .230 with several HR's, but now how's his OF defense? Well .230 with several HR's would be a marked improvement over Brian Anderson. Brian Anderson hits weak groundballs on the first pitch he sees usually. Even Ozzie himself is saying he is not giving him quality AB's. Look, the words are from Kenny Williams himself saying we need to make "room for him" somehow. I'm sure he knows alot more about baseball than any of us.
