whitesoxfan101 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) We're in full rebuilding (if not borderline firesale) mode if the Dye trade rumor is true, so I have a hard time feeling as good about this as I might otherwise have. Hopefully that rumor is false, and I can have full appreciation that we actually have some draft picks stockpiled.

justBLAZE Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 It would be awesome if someone figured out where our payroll stands as of right now, with the departure of Orlando Cabrera, and possibly Jermaine Dye. I'd do it but I'm so busy with finals and school I simply have no time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) I'm pretty sure it's around $82 million. Taking Dye out would make it closer to $70 million...of course, Jenks will go up by $4.5 million, etc. Subtract Cabrera, Crede, Uribe, Griffey, Uribe, Swisher, Vazquez and the money coming from the Phillies for the final year of Thome.

It's 4:30am and instead of continuing my studying for exams, I'm on Soxtalk. Something is not right about that. In regards to O-Cab not accepting arbitration, great news for us on the free agent market. Accepting would have been bad for both sides and he knew that. I didn't hate Cabrera as much as many seemed to, but I'm still glad he's gone. I want Furcal now. Edited December 8, 2008 by dasox24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what you're saying, I'm only on SoxTalk in between studying and this week I probably won't sleep much. Furcal, Taveras, Abreu and we can compete. My Christmas wishlist is very similar to SoxFan1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 We need starting pitching more than we need Furcal or Abreu at this point. Or are you assuming the Dye deal has or will go through with this post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you assuming the Dye deal has or will go through with this post? Yes, I already had Bailey penciled in as number 4 starter. If deal doesn't go through we should still shop for Furcal, Taveras and starting pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 He was not that bad. http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200807013044979 Maybe we should post a different video each day of every out he made or defensive screw up he had. Since he led the American league in outs made that should take us up to opening day, in 2010. What's the record for GIDP's by a leadoff man? Normally they are fast and had much fewer opportunities to hit into one because they are guaranteed to leadoff an inning. 16 seems like a lot for a guy hitting at the top of the order.

joejoesox Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 So with Hall, Uribe, Cabrera, Crede, Vazquez, Swisher, and Logan gone, what is our current payroll? Have we dropped underneath the twins yet? Gotta love firesales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe they give up two picks. If they pick from 16 and on, they give up their first rounder, and if they pick before that they give up nothing. The other pick is a sandwich pick which becomes two sandwich picks if a team in the top 15 grabs him. He'll play somewhere, I'm sure his agent has received at least light interest to decline arbitration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a team in the top 15 signs him the Sox will receive 1 sandwich pick and that club's 2nd round pick. OC isn't going to go unsigned, a team will give up a draft pick for him eventually.
