Kalapse Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) What did the sox get back.. is the million dollar question? Someone should change the title soon too. My guess is nothing of note, this is a dump to free up some room on the roster to play our 4 OF and young catcher while doing Jim a favor in the process.

ThunderBolt Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) This sucks cause we obviously will get nothing for him, right? Just a giveaway. Keep the faith. KW has a plan, talent is a real option here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Its Tyler Flowers time.. But man this hasn't sunk in yet.. Damn I'm saddened to see Big Jim go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YonderLaroche Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Seems like we traded Rios for Thome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Is Flowers our new DH? It wouldn't surprise me if AJ gets some swings over there while Tyler works behind the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 10:40 PM) Damn. I'll miss Thome. Hopefully Kenny laid the groundwork for him to go to a contender, and maybe to come back next year. I doubt Thome is back. It's sad to see him go, but it happens to everybody someday. I hope he wins a World Series, he deserves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will also allow Pods and Rios to play together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Kenny laid the groundwork for him to go to a contender, and maybe to come back next year. That's what I think it is. They probably picked up as much money as they are allowed, probably will get a PTBNL depending on his contribution and the team's success,and could still sign him in the offseason. Basically, they are throwing Thome a bone to go to a contender because it obviously isn't happening for the Sox this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Jim Thome was pure class and seems like one heck of a nice guy. I wish him nothing but the best, except where his success would negatively impact the White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
