White Sox Josh Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 It doesn't for me. Whoever is the best player there, I take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I guess I actually avoid taking Sox players for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I have Pods and Iguchi. I usually stay away, but Pods wins me steals every week and Iguchi has filled a gaping hole at 2nd for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drafted Shingo, AJ, and Buehrle. Shingo has actually been ok for me because he got 8 Saves. I got Hermy and put him as a Starter because he can be used in any role. I kept all the Sox players. I'm banking on Shingo turning it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you should streamline your sig area a bit. How about just the sig and the flags? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could put the "puke" & twins logo down to the right of the Bulls flag. That would shrink it down considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlackSox8 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I drafted Iguchi, and Garcia....then picked up Hermy. All have been really good for my team, except Hermy as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Drafted Pods, Iguchi, Buehrle, Garcia and AJ. Picked up Garland and then Hermy and then Contreras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAVVY18 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 It effects me somewhat. My auto draft gave me Pods and A-row. I took a flyer on Iguchi and that payed off. I then took a flyer on Everett when he was hot. I still have Iguchi and Pods, but I dumped A-row and Everett. Luckily, I didn't get any cubs on my roster.

Jake Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I, like many others, might take a couple "hometown heroes" at the end, but for the most part it doesnt affect me. If there are two somewhat equal players and a White Sox is one of them, I'll take the Chicago guy. But no Cubbies! I just can't root for them.

Reddy Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 on one team i've got Pods, Rowand and Hermey one ive got Hermey, Buehrle, Frank, Rowand, Uribe one i have Buehrle, Garland, Garcia last Buehrle, Garcia, Contreras, Thomas, Uribe, Konerko, AJ dang... haha yeah i guess i do pick them, but then again i'm 1st 5th 5th 1st in that order so i'm doing ok with them!

nitetrain8601 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I also got A-Row and Everett and El Duque. It's not like I do it intentionally. The best players that are there to take waivers on are usually White Sox players. I picked up Clint Barmes 2 days before he got injured and Brian Roberts at the beginning of the season. Some dumbass actually dropped Peavy in on of my leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 I don't play fantasy sports because of the White Sox. I don't see the purpose of pulling for a "fantasy" team when I can just root for the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Sox Josh Posted June 12, 2005 Author Share Posted June 12, 2005 1st team- Pierzysnski, Pods, Aaron, Frank, Buehrle, Shingo. 2nd team- Aaron, Buehrle, Hermy, Contreras, Politte, Cotts. 3rd team- Aaron, Frank, Buehrle, Hermy. 4th Team- Dye, Frank, Buehrle, Contreras, Hermy, Politte.

southsider2k5 Posted June 12, 2005 Share Posted June 12, 2005 Usually I avoid Sox players, in general, but if all things are equal I will pick a Sox player because I know what I will get from them better on a game to game basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemg311 Posted June 13, 2005 Share Posted June 13, 2005 being a sox fan hurts my fantasy team not because i overrate sox players but because i refuse to have anyone from the twins on my team. as well as other players in the al central. it just wouldnt feel right praying that santana picked up a win for the twins to help my fantasy team, yuck.

I have Morneau on one team and Santana on another. It's easy. You hope they have a good game and the twins lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hope they have a good game and the twins lose. I have Joe Mauer and Jaque Jones. the only problem is the conflict of interest thing. you don't want to be like the guy in the Best Buy commercial that shouts "THAT GUY'S ON MY FANTASY TEAM!" after a TD is scored against their team and everyone's bummed out. just remember, the real life team comes first. but yeah, I have Konerko and Iguchi on my team. I took Gooch late in the draft when I needed a backup 2B, and only ended up with him because Chase Utley was taken right before my turn. there were really no 2Bs, and from what I had heard about Gooch I figured he'd be a solid backup, but until this week he's been my starter over Luis Castillo (who had been injured).
