WHITESOXRANDY Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Atleast Kenny Williams is consistent. The bullpen was crap in 2006 and 2007 and will be in 2008. The outfield was a joke in 2006 and 2007 and will be in 2008. Who says that he doesn't learn from his mistakes. I'm more convinced than ever that Kenny won the lottery in 2005 and he'll never come close to getting that lucky again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBigHurt Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 So we missed on Hunter, then Jones, then Fuku, now Rowand. Can it get worse? Do we have any good targets left besides these faint rumors of Bay and Roberts? Damn, I'm depressed now. We're gonna have Jerry freaking Owens in center next year...

Stop handing the CF job to Owens when we have the grace, speed and hitting of BA. Oops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2007 -> 03:29 PM) On the list of desired CF's, in order of preference... Hunter Fukudome Rowand Hamilton Ramirez Crisp Owens Pierre Yikes. Running out of possible improvement players. Mark me down for Hamilton. How long would he be under contract? If its 3 years or more, I say its worth losing the pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 If we can land Roberts and than someone like Hamilton/Patterson I will actually be kind of optimistic going into next year. But right now, I still think our offense is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our offense will be lacking even more if we trade Richar for Robers and have to play Ozuna or Uribe at 2nd base while Roberts serves his steroid suspension and deflates.

Can they actually suspend him from the Mitchell report? I dont see how that makes much sense because from atleast Roberts standpoint its his word against another.

I can't even believe he was included in the report, to be honest. Basically, the evidence against him was that Larry Bigby claims Roberts once admitted he tried steroids once or twice in 2003. He can't be suspended for that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Aaron Rowand was on the Mike North Show this morning. He said he got an offer from the Sox 2 months ago, and never heard anything from them after that offer. Rowand waited and waited to hear from the Sox, and the silence told him all he needed to hear.

retro1983hat Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 ARow is on ESPN1000 now. You can hear in his voice how much he wanted to come here. No big deal, we have Jerry Owens and BA. Ahhh, I love my baseball team scratching to win 70 games. KW ......................................WAKE UP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTank Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 IMO I think Rowand said he wasn't in a rush to decide who to sign with because he wanted to see if the Sox would make him an offer. It's terrible how badly he wanted to come back but of course KW denies him that. Rowand may have even signed 6/55 with the Sox as a discount.

Time to get creative KW. Interesting timing as well. Of course, anything that would make the team better means less fathom complaining posts. I'mm looking forward to 162 days of complaining that we don't have a competent CFer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you're not. And amazingly I agree with you on that part. On the other hand, I'm probably the only one who's willing to say we should tough it out with exactly the guys we have now.

Guest Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 (edited) I think that is a viable option and one that is not necessarily doomed to failure. But more than likely DOOMED to fourth place. Edited December 16, 2007 by DonnyDevito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Miggy might of made a difference but really we didnt have the prospects that the Tigers had.... But yeah while I love Hunter/Rowand as players... I dont think either would make the difference between playoffs or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
