QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:11 PM) For those who said they would welcome Bobby Jenks back on a lot smaller deal, would you be confident with him closing? Ozzie has said if Bobby were to come back he would NOT be guaranteed the closer's job. EDIT: fixed Well I think he's only good if he's closing. If we couldn't get Putz or spend more on Soriano, then I guess Jenks would be alright for another run around at a cheaper price. I mean, who else is there? I just wish the thick lump would take his weight more seriously and come back next year in better shape.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:01 PM) I'd go.. Pierre Beckham Konerko Dunn Rios Quentin AJP Ramirez Morel I just love the 3-6. That's the "danger zone" right there. Man if we could get the old TCQ back from 2008... that 3-6 would be enough to make any opposing pitcher's sphincter pucker up.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 02:03 PM) Things are heating up wonder who plan B is? I'm betting Derrek Lee.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 12:04 PM) jonmorosi #Reinsdorf addresses Konerko, the team's payroll, and who might close: http://bit.ly/eVuqN3 #Chicago #WhiteSox #MLB about 1 hour ago good read, summary. JR: payroll should be around 110 million JM: arizona has had advanced talks with Landis and PK and being in AZ all year may play a role. Come on PK! Go ahead and sign on the dotted line so KW can start addressing the other issues on this team!

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 11:51 AM) Before Dunn I assume. Kenny certainly isn't f***in around this offseason though. That's what I like about KW. f*** rebuilding... He wants to win and win NOW.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 11:48 AM) jaysonst Hearing #RedSox viewed #WhiteSox as main competition on Adrian Gonzalez. Adam Dunn AND Adrian Gonzalez??? QUOTE (Wanne @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) This kind of latent blather needs to stop! I'm too old to pop wood before noon! This.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 6, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) Watch KW get Ichiro this week. I know it won't happen, BUT if you added Ichiro to this team along with PK coming back... would the Sox have a lot of national writers and reporters picking them to go to the World Series? I think the national attention would HAVE to be there then.

I'm sick of ATT UVerse not offering MLB Network. This is the time where I really NEED MLB Network. Dammit... Like I said before... I wouldn't be surprised if KW packaged Quentin and and/or Viciedo (and maybe even Floyd or Jackson) together in a trade for a stud outfielder. Can you imagine how good the Sox line up would have been if we moved on David DeJesus before Oakland snagged him?

I'm telling you it would not surprise me one bit if Kenny landed either Curtis Granderson or Matt Kemp.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 3, 2010 -> 12:43 PM) *Kenny's phone ringing* Kenny: Ken Williams here...uh huh.... WHAT? *puts phone down, looks around the room all crazy* Kenny: Yeah, wait... like, you said Linebrink, right?...Yahuh....k, hang on a second... *presses the hold button* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA *picks the phone back up* Kenny: You there? Sure, we can do that... I loled... If anyone ever says anything bad about my GM again, I'm going to hit them with a dragon punch from Street Fighter.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Dec 1, 2010 -> 12:26 AM) Adam Dunn plays first like he has a beer in his hand and he doesn't want to spill it. Rotflmao this is sig worthy.... ESPECIALLY if Dunn end up here!

He'll go to the NL and dominate.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Nov 30, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Ok so if Paulie's gone then let's assume we get to go cheap at 1B with Viciedo (anybody wanna predict best case, full time stats for him?). If the $12M for Konerko was really available, then we have $12M to throw at upgrading DH. Dunn/Viciedo/Carlos/NewOutfielder all rotating through DH, 1B and RF. That actually puts 4 good bats rotating in the DH and Dunn can still play 1B the majority of the time. If we really have 12M, we can make some noise. If Paul Konerko isn't playing 1b for the White Sox next year, then I hope Derrek Lee is.

He's about to get PIZZAID!!! You guys think he's worth that much??

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 28, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) It'd probably be set in Communist Russia. The plot would revolve around how everyone is controlled by the government and they decide where these people work and what they do, but in the end, it turns out that the people themselves are the government and they choose where they end up. Oh, and the country is run by a zombie Stalin, and Waldis comes in at the end of the movie and kills him with a spear. I love Soxtalk in the offseason...

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) Fowler away from Coors: .211 .297 .298 .595 Stewart away from Coors: .239 .317 .454 .770 No thanks on either. I looked up both of these guys stats earlier today and I thought I was missing something. Why would we want them? They seem like they would be the source of a lot of fruatration of they were acquired.... like Teahen.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 11:36 AM) If the Tigers aren't lying through their teeth and Martinez is going to be the DH most of the time, then this eliminates Detroit from the Adam Dunn sweepstakes. If Adam Dunn is insistent about playing in the field, then this eliminates Detroit from the Adam Dunn sweepstakes (unless they want to put him in LF, which would be awesome). I lold... But seriously... I only want Dunn if we can have Konerko back too. Is that a possibility?

QUOTE (Special K @ Nov 23, 2010 -> 10:43 AM) Agreed. Any big money spent should be focused on Dunn. Victor Martinez plays no defense. ??? And Dunn does?

Is this just a AAA arm for Charlotte?

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Nov 20, 2010 -> 07:01 PM) I usually like the cheaper cereals anyway because they don't have as much sugar in them. Aside from that it seems they're the same stuff. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I'd rather have Oats 'N s*** for breakfast instead of like Sugar Rockets or whatever. And JMO, but I think it's all part of a wider conspiracy where the drug companies and cereal companies get together and find ways to get kids all f***ing batty in the morning so they can't sit still in class and later on end up all doped up on downers. I think Post gets kickbacks from like Pfizer and stuff. Not really. But maybe... Nothing beats the difference between DayQuil/NyQuil and the Walgreens brand though. It's completely the same thing except the Walgreens brand is so much cheaper, and that's good for me because I love that stuff. I mean, you don't really have to be sick to drink it. You just shouldn't drink a lot of it. And you can't buy a lot of it either because then they think you're going to go cook up some meth. But you can even use it to make Flaming Homers apparently, although I've never tried that personally. Epic doesn't even begin to describe this post. We should have just /thread right there.

Didn't McCarthy burn a few bridges on his way out of town when he was traded to the Rangers? Maybe a return to Coop can get him back in some form. He'd be alright for a project, but I wouldn't expect to get anything out of him.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 17, 2010 -> 11:24 PM) We'll keep Kenny and hire some plastic non-quotable guy like Buddy Bell. Not saying it's Bell but somebody very dull in media interviews. s***, if we go .500 or better, it might even be Cora. I wouldn't give a rat's ass if the manager was as dull as watching paint dry if he managed the Sox to beat the twins and tigers and win the AL Central.

Eh... Damon doesn't excite me anymore. I'd almost rather give those at bats to Teahen.

QUOTE (balfanman @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 03:40 AM) How much, if any, of his performance this last season has to do with playing for the Yankees? Some people just just don't thrive in that environment, Maybe it has something to do with being traded in the first place. Sometimes players are in shock from being traded for the first time. This I believe. I bet it's not easy playing in NY either. I bet it's an entirely different animal. AND they were the defending world champs. That's gotta be added pressure. Also let's not forget where Granderson is from. Coming home for some home cooking and playing in front of family and friends might be just what the doctor ordered. I just don't wanna lose E. Jackson to get him. Maybe the Yanks will take Gavin Floyd instead? QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 18, 2010 -> 07:39 AM) I have a feeling Andruw Jones will wind up in Minnesota. If they bring Thome back, he'd be a great fit for them. Good God no. I bet the minute he puts on a Twins uniform, he reverts back to 2005 form and launches 50+ bombs for the twins...

I think Olivo is the back up plan if they can't resign AJ. I think AJ is definitely coming back though - especially since the Marlins have signed John Buck.
