Buehrle>Wood Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Levine mentioned a soxfest surprise with him. Sounds like it'll be him retiring thought not anything to do with the active roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Probably a one day contract to retire with the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I really hope his number gets retired at some point. He is one of the best pitchers to ever put on a Sox uniform IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 He would really be doing the team a favor by retiring today. That would be the main Soxfest question after the Gordon/Upton/Cespedes whiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think it'll be a tense environment at SoxFest. I'm not positive that they're done adding from the way they are talking and this team is much improved from a year ago.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Hahn better be wearing a bulletproof vest at SoxFest. I think that it is going to be REALLY tense there. Even with Frazier and Lawrie, most Sox fans want more, including myself. Edited January 29, 2016 by ChiSoxFanMike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are betting on some bounceback which they have to. They thought (wrongly) that last year's team was a playoff contender. They were horrible and still finished 5 wins away from being .500. They upgraded a lot this offseason and they might not be finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
103 mph screwball Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I hope Buehrle comes back to play for a year. Not sure if he has anything left. Just one of my all time favorite players. As far as Soxfest, I hope Sox fans can keep the occasion festive and be classy. I don't see the point of b****ing. It is not a town hall meeting.

Buehrle>Wood Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 I think the q and a will definitely be tense. Pre-2005 levels maybe. Those were the days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that it is going to be REALLY tense there. Even with Frazier and Lawrie, most Sox fans want more, including myself. I think the general anger is about the team's lack of success over the last few years, more so than simply missing out out on Upton/Gordon/Cespedes. That's what I am pissed about at least, and the lack of a fruitful farm system. That being said, if you could sign Buehrle to a one-year deal as a longman/spot starter, I would feel a lot better about our rotation depth, which is a huge worry. One injur to Sale/Q/Rodon or lackluster performance by EJ/Danks, we have a huge hole in the rotation without an obvious candidate to step in.

fathom Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I've wondered if they would do a Clemens-like deal with Buehrle where he doesn't have to travel to away series he's not pitching in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year was the first year that they were supposed to compete though. Be angry about last year. The two years prior weren't really compete years though.

flavum Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Could you imagine Buehrle starting the home opener as the 5th starter? That would be pretty awesome. But it seems more likely they'll just give him the 1-day contract thing, and announce they're retiring his number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 If we sign Buehrle, I would hope that it would be as our #5 starter, moving one of Danks/Johnson to the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think it'll be a tense environment at SoxFest. I'm not positive that they're done adding from the way they are talking and this team is much improved from a year ago. While I completely agree with you on the moves theyve made so far this offseason, RF is just such a glaring hole right now and it's pretty inexcusable to have not addressed it already. Even if they do roll out with Avi as the starter, not having insurance if he fails is a massive failure on their part. Now, if you go pick up Austin Jackson, Im pretty good with this offseason. If you are going to try selling me on Avi again though, I've already seen that song and dance from the Sox. I think tomorrows town hall with Rick is going to be very tense. Partly sad I'm not going to witness it, but happy I'm not going to waste my time listening to his stock answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he is saying is the 5th starter should be starting the home opener this year. That could be Buehrle, but I would imagine he is retiring.
