Buehrle>Wood Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 06:32 PM) Everyone thinks they can win before the season starts. There are far fewer desperate teams in January than in July... He's still in the very least can get a Sabathia type package (and that was into the year). Is it less than now? Yes, but it's still nice to have.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wouldn't that be the second year in a row with a sub-par team that no trades were made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems we made all of our moves b4 the deadline - Kotsay, Castro, Pena. Maybe we can pull something off in the final minutes. Last year we got Griffey. I liked the move at the time and still do.

Soxfest Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Sox will do nothing and KW will give Sox fans the old we tried like hell routine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Griffey was, and is, a marginal player at this stage in his career. He was about as good as Kotsay is right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:10 PM) They never mentioned KW in particular, but I know KW is trying to make a trade and has made lots of offers. From what they said, you make your offer and sit by the phone hoping it rings. know, or suspect? Just curious if you are aware of something not noted so far.

CanOfCorn Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:35 PM) Sox will do nothing and KW will give Sox fans the old we tried like hell routine. Let's see what Kenny and the Sox have done so far. Castro > Corky Miller Pena Kotsay >= Brian Anderson (Kotsay's bat is better and can play more positions AND we got cash!, Anderson's speed and defense is better) Peavy - Incomplete. I say at THE WORST, it's a wash for 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedge Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 12:57 PM) I've never seen the White Sox so quiet. With a team at 1 game over the mediocre line, playing lackluster offensive ball for much of the year that surprises me. To me, it looks like one team in the division is giving up on 2010 (Cleveland), one team gave up a piece of its future for this year (Detroit with the Washburn trade might improve marginally this season, but losing French could create a hole next year), and one team added a side-grade (Minnesota). If the Sox hold pat, they still can compete this year and next in what should be a two team race. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 The Wise/Kotsay era will continue. I really was holding out hope to bring in a CF. What a pipe dream that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they thought we could contend before today - they must not think highly of the Twins/Red Sox/Tigers all making very nice additions. QUOTE (bulokis @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:56 PM) Team captains of the sox said we do not need to trade anybody. Couple ways I want to respond to this. One is then I guess it's on them - or I wish it was on them when they fail to live up this bar theyre setting for themselves. Second - do your job and let the front office do theirs. Tehir job would be easier right now had our guys been playing up to their capabilities. QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:57 PM) And therefore will not make the playoffs.

klaus kinski Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) Technically they can say we added Pena, Castro and Kotsay-so it hasnt been officially standing pat, but honestly these arent close to adreneline pumping additions.
