There also is the possibility that Teahen could take over at third base, with rookie sensation Gordon Beckham moving to second base. Teahen could maintain the third base position until Brent Morel is ready for the majors in 2012 or sooner.
i like how the guy who was hailed by some as the starting 3B last season isn’t even mentioned anymore.

There is no way the Sox can afford to put Teahen in RF,
with Dye and Thome both ‘gone" next year they absolutely need more power, especially from a power position such as RF. Obviously there is more Kenny’s outfield plan.

i would like some guidance on this trade from the editors
all i have read so far is schoolboy arguments, would be nice if some of the experts would express what they think about the deal instead of slagging everyone else off who posts about it. ffs this site should be better than that, and people who edit it should nail their colours to the mast before having a go at everyone who posts here

perhaps it strikes some of us as odd that a deal that supposedly is complete hasn't been announced.
at any rate, u-god posted his thoughts and cheat already said he’d be posting his tonight. quit whining.
by larry on Nov 5, 2009 4:21 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
and what do you think about the deal?
honestly, i’d like to know
by hoodlight on Nov 5, 2009 4:25 PM CST via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
it's essentially irrelevant.
and who cares what i think about a deal that probably isn’t even completed yet.
by larry on Nov 5, 2009 4:26 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
right you think its irrelevant
so why not say so instead of waiting for people in the community to offer opinions and then shoot them down; straw men burn very quickly

i'm failing to see how what you're describing has anything to do with a straw man argument.
i’m sorry that i don’t manage to post all my thoughts on a particular topic before anyone else does and thus find it more reasonable to reply to their posts. i’ll be sure to make a composite post in the future for those who don’t want to sift through hundreds of comments.
by larry on Nov 5, 2009 4:39 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
it's called editorial responsibility
you edit and give guidance to people like me on what the sox are up to, else you just treat the blog as a plaything to humiliate people you dont arsed with, well thats fine and i dont mind it. but for anyone else when they log on to here you are listed as an editor, and thats bad because this place should not be some kind of private club
by hoodlight on Nov 5, 2009 5:00 PM CST via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
so i either get to just edit and guide people or i can treat this as a plaything.
i’m fine with doing both, as we always have here. sorry you don’t agree but we were here long before you and your delicate sensibilities showed up and we’ve done just fine.
by larry on Nov 5, 2009 5:05 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Hoodie, I hear what you're saying but...
This isn’t really any kind of a trade that is worth an “all hands on deck” effort from the editors. IF it actually happens it’s likely only one of several more moves to come.
Also, the kind of editorial you’re clamorinf for, and we ALL appreciate requires thought, research, and time.
It will come when warranted.
"his ballerness could not be stoped which rose his era to 5.42 "
by Chiburb on Nov 5, 2009 5:12 PM CST via mobile up reply actions 0 recs
and a real, actually finalized deal would be essential, as well.
again, creating elaborate commentary on things that may well be make believe strike me as a waste of time (cough, fangraphs, cough beyond the boxscore). all that ends up happening in those cases are “oops, i called KW an idiot for doing a deal that actually never happened. and i wasted a half hour writing it.” awesome. not to mention that this rumor warrants about the level of commentary i provided at 11:41.
by larry on Nov 5, 2009 5:17 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
for example, this.
A source close to the situation then confirmed to the Sun-Times that the deal was all but done, but there were still talks about the possibility of minor-league prospects being involved. There was the hold up.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/whitesox/2009/11/getz_and_fields_traded_for_tea.html
depending upon who is involved and on which side could materially change the rumor from good to indifferent or indifferent to bad.

Colin gave some numbers/stats in contribution too.
And who could forget TAEG’s hilarious recap of the last thread? My sides still ache from laughing so… Hold on, a text from HSA.
Oh. I’ve been reminded that TAEG has contributed nothing since the ’08 season.
Never mind.

Perhaps some of us are reserving our opinions for when something actually happens, rather than blowing our loads over some rather inconsequential rumor/move.
I’m pretty indifferent to this “trade” in terms of what we gave and who we’re getting…
But the additional salary doesn’t make much sense to me unless KW has his next move in mind.
I’ll offer my opinion when something real happens, but in the meantime, I promise that I will continue to “slag” folks who expect to be taken seriously when they can’t use words and form sensical sentences on a site that pretty heavily relies on written articulation.

An officer approached Lincecum’s 2006 Mercedes and smelled marijuana as the pitcher rolled down his window. Schatzel said Lincecum immediately complied with a request to hand over the drug and a marijuana pipe from the car’s center console.
The amount measured was 3.3 grams. Schatzel said police consider that a small amount for personal use, well below the maximum of 40 grams before possession is classified differently and carries a more severe penalty.
