SSH2005 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) Jose Contreras, who is eligible for free agency next year, may have already been offered a contract extension by the White Sox. It's been reported that Jon Garland turned down a three-year contract. GM Ken Williams indicated that Contreras received a similar offer. "I don't have any desire to break up the rotation that helped us to a championship," Williams said. "That said, both Jose and Jon have been and will be given a chance to stay beyond the 2006 season." Source: Chicago Tribune Eh, the title should be "Contreras may have been offered extension." Edited December 14, 2005 by SSH2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Dec 14, 2005 -> 09:52 AM) Can farting be considered sexy? Everything imaginable, and many things not imaginable, can be considered sexy by humans. However, the female southern pine beetle exudes a pheromone called frontalin in her flatus that not only serves to attract males but acts as a general gathering call to both males and females of her species. Her farts are an invitation to an orgy. Unfortunately for her, her frontalin-laden farts also attract predators. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Hopefully he signs relatively quick. KW is basically trying to make sure he doesn't hit the open market which he'll make tons of cash. Smart move Kenny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I think so too. He seems like a guy who's loyal to his team and he was very grateful that the White Sox took a chance on him. He sees this as his home. I don't think he likes moving around much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Haven't heard anything but I'd imagine the first offer was 3/27, unless they lowballed him at 3/24. Just a guess though. I bet 3/33 or so gets it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AddisonStSox Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 My, my, how the tides have turned. Try telling Soxtalk both Contreras and Konerko have contract extensions last June. Wow. I'd love to see Contreras back. Two years. Three years. The talent is there and if he is able to pitch the way he did the second-half of last year, he'll be considered amongst the league's elite in no time. The talent was always there. He's just now putting all the pieces together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan1 Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 This would be super huge for the Sox if he reups and pitches like the playoffs/2nd half of last season. I think confidence was the big thing with him. Obviously, the ability was there but Coop and Ozzie helped mold him into what he is now. 8-10 million a year is a steal compared to what pitchers are getting now.

That funky motion Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 The big thing here is Ozzie. I'm sure it a lot easier to play for a manager that you can talk too! I have a feeling Oz will be the difference in years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
