greg775 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 As we finish yet another month, this team continues to lose games in the most infuriating fashion. I wonder if next year we return to normalcy or if we again are an eminently unlikeable team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually wrong. You simply decline his team option, offer him arbitration (which he almost certainly will not accept because he will receive some sort of multi-year offer) and receive a supplemental draft pick for him. The only 4 teams who have any second thoughts about signing him are the AL Central teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (MAX @ Aug 24, 2011 -> 12:01 AM) Sadly, I think they need to change owners to change that. Many sources allude to this being true. Draft spending is much more Jerry than Kenny. Edited August 24, 2011 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if next year we return to normalcy or if we again are an eminently unlikeable team. Well, it's very possible three of the most likable guys on the team in Buehrle/Quentin/Danks are not going to be back. It will be fun to watch someone like Viciedo hopefully get at least 400 at bats, but it seems very likely that we're not looking at a supremely talented team next season. The Sox are in baseball hell right now, and it's pretty damn obvious that Kenny and Ozzie both need to go. Way too many bad decisions are being made on and off the field with no accountability.

I think it'd take a miracle for KW or Oz to return. The only way is if Jerry is so thankful about 05 he actually begs them to return. I know nothing about Jerry but he is old and I guess it's possible he's so thankful he got one WS title when a lot of his owner cronies will never win one, that he begs them to come back. In other words, it's possible he may not care. I think the odds are 95 percent to 5 percent that Ozz is off to Florida. And 99 percent to 1 percent that KW is gone as well. Bye bye. New manager? I want Lasorda. Edited August 24, 2011 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 The Sox typically do not spend a lot on the draft. Do you think that, this year atleast, with the ultimate lack of spending, that it perhaps had to do with $127 million going towards the MLB roster? Because I certainly think so. With teams spending more and more on the draft all the time, the Sox will atleast need to spend $5 million. I envision the payroll being around $100-110 mill next year (and perhaps less depending on management's orders) with the Sox spending between $4-7 million on the draft. That's a hell of a lot more than they've done now. Beyond any of that, getting a player ranked between 100-150 in the supplemental round is usually better than not having said player, right?

kitekrazy Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 QUOTE (JoshPR @ Aug 23, 2011 -> 11:00 PM) Read somewhere the sox spend the least in the ML on the draft... That's one of the things that has to change, the whole structure in the org, the whole mindset You mean this ? http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb I read it and to me looking at both halves, spending more or less doesn't mean a thing. Getting the best scouts/instructors would be better use of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always fun to have that one week far away from the baseball world where you don't watch the White Sox and catch a score here and there. Don't punish the baseball world because of the Sox. There's an exciting race in the AL East. I'll probably take advantage of watching more of Verlander. The Sox and Rangers just made things more interesting in the AL West. There's still a race in the NL West. Plus it might be good to check out if the Phillies are that good having the most wins in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atleast the White Sox would be progressive in making the first wheelchair ramp for a dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
