QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Feb 7, 2012 -> 11:45 AM) I think it's time to pass on Cespedes. The liklihood he lives up to his deal is quite low. Agreed. Looks like he'll be playing for Ozzie down in Miami. Now it's time to focus on Jorge Soler.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 1, 2012 -> 11:13 AM) Can we get away with a bench of Johnson, Flowers, Lillibridge, and Martinez? Sure you can if the expectations for the team aren't that high.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say De Aza. Either him or Rios. I think Rios will have a huge bounce back year.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jan 25, 2012 -> 01:23 PM) I think people make too much of young people doing stupid things. Not saying his behavior was acceptable, but people can change over time and maybe he's finally grown up. None of us really have a clue, but hopefully the Sox did their homework and feel that he's actually matured. Either way, give him a short leash and there's essentially no risk with this signing. You should have been around when the Sox signed Lastings Milledge. This guy makes Milledge look like Jim Thome. But who knows... maybe he has matured and will be an asset. I'm hoping so.

It's a shame that Prince Fielder isn't on speaking terms with his old man anymore. Last time I heard, there was a huge rift.

Does anyone on the Sox coaching staff speak Spanish fluently? I hear Coop does, but does anyone else? This could be a concern.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 12:28 PM) The problem is that his performance iwht the bats the last couple years simply doesn't justify a major league contract. True. And you can't say that he makes up for it with his glove either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) Makes the Jackson/Stewart trade look that much better. I hope he signs on somewhere else. He seems like a good guy.

I too think Alex Rios will have a bounce back season next year. There's no way in hell I would trade Rios for Soriano. I don't think Kenny Williams would either.

QUOTE (SOXOBAMA @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 12:35 PM) Dunn might have suck last year but at least he gave effort.. I wouldn't want another lazy ass player on the Sox. Who on the Sox is lazy? And why would you say that Soriano is lazy?

Man out of all these pitchers Kenny Williams is acquiring some of them are bound to pan out.

So an outfield of Viciedo in right, Cespedes in center, and DeAza in left? Sounds very interesting...

If the Sox did land Cespedes, he would start off in the minors, right? I wonder what level he'd start off in.

Good lord that is depressing.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 14, 2011 -> 12:28 PM) God darn it, Mr. Do, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore. I'm almost 100% certain that Milk is actually Stainer from She's Out of My League.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) I'm sure Ozuna, Vizcaino, Marte and Blum are on the way. Borchard already played for the Marlins, albeit briefly. Alex Fernandez comeback? Cotts and Politte? Hermanson? Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if they went after Contreras, with the Latin/Cuban community down there. They already had Livan Hernandez. Somebody get a hold of El Duque. The Marlins might need three outs with the bases loaded.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 07:59 AM) Yep. Kenny made a big mistake by not having them dealt at the winter meetings... Will everyone be happy if Kenny did land this Betances guy for John Danks? How good is Betances?

I bet the slogan next year will be something simple like "White Sox: REBIRTH"

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 01:04 PM) I believe PK was one of the ones talking, saying Ozzie's act grew old and players were tired of it. That's what I was thinking too. But you know what? WINNING negates some of that, and the Marlins have a chance to win next year.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 11:30 AM) Good point J4L. Marlins apparently won't pursue Fielder. Opening for PK in Miami? Hmmm.... VERY interesting. I wonder how Konerko would feel about going to play for Ozzie again.

I'd love to see Kenny fleece the Rangers too. Again... it's a good thing he IS "asking for the moon".

QUOTE (pktmotion @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Danks and Konerko will be traded to the Rangers. Ugh I hate the Rangers about as much as I hate the Redsox. But oh well... as long as the White Sox get a LOT back in return for them...

QUOTE (Reddy @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 10:06 AM) Twitter Jon_Heyman: Wilson signs with angels $75M 5 yrs [via Twitter] Man it must be nice to be a multi billionaire able to give out money like it grows on trees.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) Trade him to the Cubs? Or one of a few other teams looking for 1B's. Pujols signing with the Angels makes both Kendry Morales and Mark Trumbo expendable - which is going to make it harder to get a haul for Paul Konerko.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 8, 2011 -> 09:18 AM) Let me guess: 1) Sometime in the past year, Keith Law talked about how overrated Doyle is. 2) Sometime in the next couple days, Keith Law will talk about how awesome Doyle is and how dumb the Sox were to leave him unprotected. I don't think there's ever been a White Sox move Keith Law liked. He's already poo pooed the Santos - Molina trade. To hell with him.
