DBAHO Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Dustan Mohr got a 1 year 900,000 deal from the Rockies I think. Now I'm not saying that the Sox would have gotten him even they pursued him, but that's certainly looking like a better deal than the one they gave Perez.

WilliamTell Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I have heard a lot about Mohr since he's been gone from the Twins. I know he had a stint with the Giants but I don't know who else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-Pod Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Wow, I would imagine we have a few bucks to spend still. Good stuff. Nice work Rex too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard chisox 1427 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 One would imagine that we would have more money to spend, but w/ the Sox, you never know. And maybe like Kenny said, he will save a little money for his annual July trades. No matter what the pay roll is, I can't wait to get back to the cell!

TLAK Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The White Sox payroll has risen about $5 million from a year ago, so far, but they have also radically changed its distribution among playing positions. Some change was inevitable with the Maggs situation but the total team make over is striking. Last year 1/3 of the budget went to pitching, this year it will be about half. KW and Ozzie promised changes this year and boy have they delivered. It remains to be seen if the team will be more successful, but I am personally excited because the Sox are returning to the brand of baseball I grew up with: pitching, speed and defense. For some reason I identified more with those teams than the ones in the big bopper era. Also, it seems that when most other teams change direction this radically they first tear the team down, sell off all the salaries, and lose 100 games a couple times before they come back. If this team really plays as well as the hype I've been sopping up with a spoon, I'll have to tip my hat to KW for pulling it off in a single off-season. I'll post a reply in a minute with the source of the data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLAK Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 Here is the data I used for the chart. The 2004 salaries are from Baseball-Reference. 2005 are from this thread. You can debate where I put some of the backup players but I don't think it affects the gist of the chart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGGERNAUT Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 So where at 70M now. Spend a few more to push Harris to the bench. It's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
