QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:47 PM) And that's exactly why they have 1 playoff appearance (and win) since 2006. Whats your plan Mr GM? I cant wait to hear this

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 04:20 PM) The window of opportunity for this team to win anything has slammed shut. Thankfully Kenny wont be listening to you when he is trying to add. Thats the complete opposite of the way they think.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:41 PM) See what I mean...... What you described in your last post was the definition of making a change just for the sake of making a change. Which is why the front office wont do it.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:40 PM) How the hell are the Angels not a playoff team with that roster? Bullpen must suck. It does

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:36 PM) Flowers doesn't hardly play, hard to be consistent. Hey I love what AJ did these past 8 years, very durable guy. But I think it's time to refresh, AJ's defense has been mediocre at best and the pitch calling hasn't been all that either, granted that it could be comming from the bench You know the problem is in the minors and up in the majors this has been the same story with Flowers. This isnt new. There is no point for a refresh. AJ looks fine. Your not going to keep him for 7 years.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:34 PM) Cause people think the great Tyler Flowers and Josh Phegley can be a good tandem I dont want to test that at all.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:32 PM) He has the best offensive year of his career and we have nobody that could start at catcher everyday next season. Yup, time to let him go. Its almost like people want to make a change for the sake of making a change.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:30 PM) Ahhhh no. Been great for the 8 years here, time to move on... There really is no reason to move on. This is one of his best years and Tyler Flowers is wildly inconsistent.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:28 PM) The Sox dugout is alive! See AJ trying to take second if he could? I don't think he's tanking it. He's always thinking and trying. Do you want AJ back? I for sure want him back no questions.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Yeah right.... There is really no evidence for this and would go completely go against what AJ stands for.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) Greinke hates it at the Cell Money can fix alot of problems

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:24 PM) I swear AJ is tanking it... Yeah no

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:22 PM) Zach would definitely excite the masses. They could sell some tickets with that acquistion, billing the 1-2 punch of Sale and Zach. p.s. Our fans are awesome. They are LOUD. Its not out of the question that we could go after him. Kenny always gets his guy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:19 PM) Mark Buehrle gave up more home runs this year than anyone on the Sox while pitching in the NL in a mammoth park. There is a better chance we sign Zack Greinke than trading for Mark.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Our pitchers throw some nasty pitches, but they also give up some majestic bombs. They've all turned into Liriano, four-five innings is maximum output. How come you guys all get mad when I suggest the solution?? It's Mark Buehrle. The man is a pitching machine and genius who coulda helped our staff get over this mental midgetness!!! Our starters have good stuff; they are unable to sustain it at all. Their lines add up to five innings of rottenness. Yet I'm the only one that appears to think Buehrle is the answer. We're not getting Mark. Get that out of your head.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 02:04 PM) Did KC lose yesterday too? It's pretty hard to lose 4 in a row to the Tribe. Wow. I like Robin a lot, but losing as many times as we did to KC I think is a fireable offense (when the owner is Loria/Steinbrenner/Al Davis). Losing to KC was a sign of the true mental makeup of this team, but Baron won't agree with me and think I'm harsh. Why? "Wait til next year" is kind of a depressing rally cry for me, until the second bout of freezing rain/blizzard conditions when I truly truly miss spring training. Right now it's just anger. Your depressed all the time.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) You keep talking about a rebuild and I firmly disagree that this team needs to be rebuilt. Had they had a healthy PK for the last 2 months of the season this is probably a 90+ win team...90+ win teams dont rebuild. As far as Ozzie coming back, I just don't see it. If Venturas heart is not in coaching, which i see no signs of it not, I'd much rather go a different direction....I liked the mention of Chris Singleton 100 percent agree. There really is no reason for a rebuild.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:45 PM) Haven't exactly been wrong about this team collapsing. I'm just hoping they got anything left in them. Unlike some on here Im pretty excited for this offseason.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:39 PM) It was a joke. Relax. You might want to make that clear next time. Some of the crap people have been spewing on here lately has been embarrassing.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Yep. When I think of exciting, energetic teams, teams that look like they want to be out there, the Sox are dead last on that list. The fact that you think the players are happy that Detroit is making the playoffs is quite sad actually.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) He has the right to say they all are ready for this horrible end of the season to be over. These guys are ready to be patted on the back for "doing better than anyone expected." This is one of the most pathetic displays in White Sox history. He has the right to be completely wrong.That whole statement just shows you have no idea what is going through the players minds.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 30, 2012 -> 01:26 PM) I'm sure our players will be happy. That just confirms you have no idea what your talking about

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) No idea, but if they slash payroll, I wouldn't blame them. Well if they start that they might as well start rebuilding. I dont see a need for that after this year. Infact I think it would be foolish.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:04 PM) Yikes How much money to do you think Jerry will let us spend?

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 05:00 PM) Cherry picking really???? AJ had a nice run here, but the time has come to move on Yeah that was the definition of cherry picking. Basically taking all the good away(one of his best years) and looking at the bad. Im not a fan of putting Tyler Flowers at the starting catcher spot.
