KevHead0881 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Take it for what its worth, but Tim Kurkjian said this morning on Mike & Mike that he's convinced that Pauly will be back with the Sox. Said he wants to stay, and while the offer he gets from us may not be the biggest, it will probably be big enough. Sounds like pure speculation, but in my opinion, I agree and think this is how it'll play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 cheers to paulie and thome on the southside in 06 and heres a little hope that frank comes back to be a PH and DH replacement everyone once and a while eek... it sure is hard to put to bed any old nastalgic love for the big hurt... even if its necessary.

SoxFan562004 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 From what I heard you can't compar Matsui's contract to market because the Yankees have a lot of money coming into the Yes Network from Japanese sources that Matsui is worth a lot more to them than he would be on a pure open market.

GreatScott82 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 By the looks of things Thomas days are over on the Southside. With all this Thome talk out there and all. I DONT want Thome as our 1B I want him as our DH. Pauly should be our top priority, no doubt about it. Anyone know what kind of players Philly is asking for in return? I hope not one of our starters.

So that means they are going to be asking for BMac probably. LOL that wont happen. If Philly wants anyone decent in return for Thome they will need to eat more than half of his contract. And even then I wouldn't give up BMac. Maybe Baj or Sweeney however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Just because they ask, doesn't mean it will happen. Paulie asked for 5yr 75, he won't get that. 5yr 65 is the most the Sox will give him, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timotime Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 If he [Kong] wants 75 million, later dude, thanks for the memories. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yeah, if there are teams chumpish enough to pay that to him, what can we do? i hope we keep PK, damn it!

ZoomSlowik Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 QUOTE(fathom @ Nov 18, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) No, they asked for King Felix! That's pretty ridiculous. Supposedly they also told Cleveland that they want Cliff Lee. Or maybe it was Grady Sizemore. Cleveland asked for one of them for Thome, Florida asked for the other for Delgado. Either way, those demands are going to have to come down if they're going to be dealt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be interesting to see what happens with PK now that Delgado was traded. It probably neutralizes on both sides... it takes away a potential suitor for PK, but it also takes away a potential bat from the Sox. The Manny situation should go a long way to determine what happens with PK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They keep offering long term big money contracts to hitters while not ever going after pitchers. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Exactly! If Paulie wants to win another title he will take the least amount of money and stay on a contender. The O's have to many boppers and no pitching. The few other teams that worry me are Boston and Anahiem. But they haven't offered him a deal yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The few other teams that worry me are Boston and Anahiem. But they haven't offered him a deal yet? I don't see any reason why Konerko should need to take the "Least" amount of money. There is absolutely nothing stopping the White Sox from making Paulie a perfectly fair offer. The only thing which would beat that is another team offering him several million a year more than Sexson got, and that just doesn't seem like a smart plan for anyone.

RME JICO Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) Some interesting bits from this article: http://www.dailyherald.com/sports/whitesox.asp?id=125348 As for Rowand’s replacement, forget the Florida Marlins’ Juan Pierre. The Sox are not interested. Williams is confident 23-year-old center fielder Brian Anderson is ready to step in and perform at a high level, despite playing in just 13 games this season. So Anderson it is. “I told Paulie we were going to go out and get him some protection,’’ Williams said. “I told him we were going to add a big bat.’’ Looks like KW did that. Equally important, Thome just might help the White Sox retain Konerko, the most attractive free agent on the market. Konerko often has talked about his admiration for Thome, who used to play for the rival Cleveland Indians before moving to Philadelphia in 2003. Thome feels the same way about Konerko, and he already has offered to fly to Arizona to personally push for Konerko to return to the Sox. Really cool to see mutual respect. I also like the fact that Thome has already offered to fly to AZ to help with Paulie. Edited November 25, 2005 by WinninUgly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
