Bighurt52235 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I think we could go far. I'm for re-signing everyone for next year. I'd like to ride out this ship with Robbie, Carl, Big Frank, Colon, Flash, Daub, Sandy, E-Lo..... I think if we gave this team some time, we could do great things.

Wise Master Buehrle Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 *sigh* E-Lo is a horrid nickname for Esteban. It resembles Jennifer Lopez far too much, and I despise her. Lights Out Loaiza is good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 *sigh* E-Lo is a horrid nickname for Esteban. It resembles Jennifer Lopez far too much, and I despise her. Even worse was last year when DJ called Kenny Lofton K-Lo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac9001 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well here's our financial situation for next season: Carlos Lee- Arbitration eligible (will make $5-6M) Esteban Loaiza- Team option $3.5M Frank Thomas- Dual option $6.0M player/$8.0M team Magglio Ordonez- $14.0M Billy Koch- $6.375M Paul Konerko- $8.0M Mark Buehrle- will make $.5-.7M (if he dosn't sign a long term deal) Jon Garland- $.4M Jose Valentin- Team option $5M Aaron Rowand- $.4M Miguel Olivo- $.35M Damaso Marte- ??? Rick White- Team option $1.3M Gary Glover- $.5M Joe Crede $.4M Kelly Wunsch- Free Agent (less then a mil?) Roberto Alomar- Free Agent (3-5 mil?) Sandy Alomar-Free Agent (less then a mil?) Carl Everett- Free Agent (7-8 mil?) Tom Gordon- Free agent (2-3 mil?) Bartolo Colon- Free agent (8-10 mil?) Tony Graffanino- Free Agent (less then a mil?) The Sox's have about $54.5M garentted, with out counting any of our free agents. Doubtful we can bring many of them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 If I'm thinking right, we have options with both Gordon and White. White will not be brought back(or so I hope), and Gordon will be(or so I hope). I hope we can get rid of Konerko, and I hope we can get Buehrle long term. Getting rid of Koch would also be nice.

YASNY Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 No way will this team open up next season completely in tact. There are always changes made. Some guys get old, some young guys gert ready, some free agents are let go while others are signed, trades are made. It's just part of the equation that this happens.
