Happy Birthday, Minnie, No Matter Your Age: The Baseball Analysts
Miñoso was lauded in other ways. He had his jersey #9 retired by Bill Veeck and the White Sox in 1983. Furthermore, Miñoso was invited to present the White Sox lineup card to the umpires in the pregame ceremonies at home plate in the last game played at the old Comiskey Park on September 30, 1990. He also took part in the victory parade for the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series Championship and his statue stands on the outfield concourse at U.S. Cellular Field.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to meet Minnie when I was a teenager. Later years, have seen him at the ballpark on many occasions, he signed a picture for my daughter. He has always been a great guy . HAPPY BIRTHDAY MINNIE! The first of the White Sox Cuban Connections.

i almost had a heart attack when i saw this headline on chisox.com
Sox not planning to offer free agents arbitration
The White Sox do not plan to offer any of their eligible free agents arbitration before Monday’s deadline, opting for Draft compensation if they leave.
but when you read the story, merkin says the opposite, that the sox will be offering cabrera.
by larry on Nov 30, 2008 12:13 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
4 picks in the first 2 rounds
The White Sox have no intention of bringing back Orlando Cabrera, but the organization should benefit in the Draft from its decision to offer salary arbitration to its free-agent shortstop. The team’s starter during what amounted to be a one-year stopover in 2008, has been classified as a Type A free agent.
…
Both Uribe and Griffey, the future Hall of Famer who the White Sox declined a $16 million option on for 2009, have been set as Type B free agents. The White Sox would receive one pick under the same scenario playing out as Cabrera, but MLB.com has learned the White Sox will not offer arbitration to either player.
I’m giddy as a schoolboy!

dye
Jermaine Dye: The White Sox right fielder fits so well with a few teams, including Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, and the Mets. Dye was a player the Red Sox were hot after before pursuing J.D. Drew. The Rays are trying to deal the back of their starting rotation – Andy Sonnanstine or Edwin Jackson – for a power-hitting righthanded bat, but the White Sox would want more.

I can't find it, probably because i misspelled his name
(I had to be dropping an ‘n’ in there somewhere)
but I was a big proponent of picking him up in ’06, when he was vastly underrated because he lacked the stuff to match his impressive minor league numbers and was always a touch old at his level to be considered a “top prospect.”
Though, to be fair, I probably said the same type of things about Tyler Clippard…

That is why the Sox had JO penciled in as the starting CF last year? I mean THE TEAM YOU ROOT FOR (NOT ME) had him penciled in until he got injured. Remember it was not me that did it, it was the team you root for.

there are countless replacement level players who have made the majors.
especially on teams that weren’t going anywhere. see, e.g., 2007 white sox.
by larry on Nov 30, 2008 3:50 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
the mere fact that he hasn't by this point in his career
suggests he sucks. the type of player he’s been in the minors suggests he sucks. the defensive metrics suggest he sucks. his recent injury history suggests he sucks. and by sucks, i mean “not replacement level”.
you get a 2.5 run adjustment in center field. that’s a quarter win below average at the plate plus average in center to be an average player. owens is a half win below average in center, which already puts him at .25 below average (.5 – .25 pos adj). plugging in his 75th percentile projection from PECOTA for the 2008 season (.278/ into the wOBA machine gives 1.5 wins below average hitting. that’s -1.75 below average, or a half win above replacement level.
he couldn’t match that projection in 2008 in AAA Charlotte, a level lower and a notorious bandbox. on top of that, if he had the same 30/13 SB/SB ratio in the MLB, it would have been another -.5 wins.
slap hitting fast sorts typically peak quickly and he got nowhere near his upside in 2008, which was barely above replacement level in the first place. the gravity of suck pulls hardest on those closest to the ground.

If we can package Dye with John Link
And hopefully we can get back another utility man, mid-reliever, and failed starter…
In all seriousness though what should we be getting back for Dye.
I like Homer Baily from the reds….. but don’t like any of the back end pitching from tampa…?
Does anyone have some suggestions..?

* The Braves are interested in Javier Vazquez and Jermaine Dye…
* The Reds need to offer more than Homer Bailey to get Dye.

so when you say
“we will need someone to bat first”
you mean
“Ozzie likes to play people with speed at leadoff”
but you included that clause in a sentence that contained
“I am not sure I even like him…”
which lead everyone to believe that you were making your own judgment call. because that’s how english works. if you can’t communicate in the same way everyone else has learned how, you don’t get to be pissed off at anyone else for failing to understand. that may be an indication your public school experience failed you.

I don't need to look at fancy stats
to see if a guy is good or not. You might have to. JD had a handful of game saving catches, IMO that makes him a good fielder.

I forgot that right field
is the most important position on the field…. don’t you usually put your worst outfielder there? I know I do on my softball team. He has done a more than adequate job since he got here. Why else was he WS MVP? Go re-watch the world series… and in 06’ in a game against the injuns he made a catch crashing into the wall… laid down for 10 minutes… he was leading off the next inning and hit a homer. Dye is my guy. Just deal with it.

balls hit to right, i think, probably have more value
because of the increased chance for an extra base. but the actual difference is pretty marginal to my knowledge.
