QUOTE (jphat007 @ Dec 8, 2009 -> 09:34 PM) Huge huge ifs I think the 2010 White Sox slogan should be "2010 White Sox.. what if.." because if everyone plays to their capability this team will be fun to watch.

Levine reports that Cubs are also interested.

Quentin was pretty much untouchable in 2008, funny how things have changed.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 7, 2009 -> 11:20 PM) If the sox are giving away anybody in the current rotation (which will probably eliminate KW's possible dream of a Holliday-Peavy-Buehrle-Floyd-Danks ungodly rotation) then it probably won't work, especially for a guy who is probably a one year rental and will seek big money after this season. That staring rotation would be just filthy.

Read in one of the tweets from Winter Meetings that as of right now, Tyler Flowers is the backup catcher on the big league squad. Not really news but oh well.

Read somewhere that players sent their way would have to include Danks, Hudson, and two other top prospects in the organization. Danks2, and Flowers

When do we find out how much, the arbitration eligible players on the Sox roster, are going to make next year?

White Sox will not offer salary arbitration to free agents, Dye, Dotel, Podsednik and Castro. per Reifert.

It is simply not gonna happen, please give me Jimmy, x 2.

Coco Crisp will never be Jermaine Dye.

Not necessarily a power LH bat that we are looking for. Not sure if he even makes a decent leadoff hitter.

Thanks, but no thanks.

So Octavio Dotel is a free agent, correct? Do we want him back at all?

Facebook White Sox fans have some interesting opinions. Starting form 'kenny williams, ron turner and love smith all have to go' to 'sign Scotty Pods and not some scrub' - referring to Omar.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Nov 23, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) Custody Battle Chicago, IL (AP) - A seven-year old boy was at the center of a Chicago courtroom drama yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible... The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him. After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Chicago Bears, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone. HA, you had me going.

QUOTE (ozzfest @ Nov 23, 2009 -> 12:45 PM) What's OP? original poster, so he agrees with you all the way.

Just take a chill-pill.

Most of the sources and reports say he is a backup and a mentor for Alexei.

So should we be expecting two OFFICIAL signings tomorrow?

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Nov 22, 2009 -> 12:29 PM) when will it be released? I got a post-card the other day from the Oakland Athletics with their Spring Training Schedule already. (i went to a Sox/A's game at the A's stadium last year so i guess i'm on their mailing list now) It's been out for about two weeks. http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/spring_tra...ve.jsp?c_id=cws

If he is willing to DH and take a huge pay cut I'm down.

FWIW The Cubs are one of the teams that contacted Blue Jays about Doc Halladay but it appears they would have to move Bradley first. Story.
