I am shocked to hear that the team will be financially strapped and unable to afford a FA

The more interesting question is do they have to cut salary more? If they have to ditch Jenks and/or AJ and/or Konerko it will be tough to fill those holes. You can hope Flowers is ready to play next season I suppose but there’s no other positional help in AAA/AA

I think they have to deal a starting pitcher and/or Alexei for someone that can hit that makes the minimum. Cue the Gavin Floyd for Nolan Reimold rumors!!!

It's hard to keep up with when the Sox are financially strapped and when they're not

Maybe KW simply doesn’t want to tip his hand about which way he’s leaning come the off-season. After the two big acquistions of this season, I’ll have a hard time believing him the next time he says “you can’t trade for a dollar when you have 50 cents”.

That being said, it’s very well possible that Figgins has simply priced himself out of their desired salary range and they don’t feel like getting into a bidding war for his services. Of course saying that won’t rile up the masses like saying the Sox don’t want to spend money.

Exactly

which is why that article shouldn’t say the Sox are financially strapped therefore Plan A is a pipedream. It should say that the Sox won’t be getting into a bidding war for Plan A’s services because another team will probably drastically overpay for him.

say Jenks is gone for the rest of the year

and then because the closer role is open we win a 1 run game. How can you calculate that?

Trade for a good hitter making the minimum? It might be hard to find another Quentin

and it did cost us a really good prospect in Chris Carter. But it is Kenny Williams…

Kinda hard to miss. It hurts.... It stings, really. But there it is.

Hard to know whether last year was a total fluke since he’s been a gimpy Q ever since.
I’m keeping hope alive that he really is that exclamatory Q.

After his walk last night, I said to my friend, “See, Q just stands up there and looks clueless so he’ll get the pitch way off the plate and walk in the end.”

Rrrrright.

He doesn't seem to be limping along anymore.

Albert Pujols, Mark McGwire and Carlton Fisk could all still hit when they had Planter fasigfiaivis or whatever it is….. I think its more than just injury. If any injury is harming him it is probably the broken wrist he received while being a douchebag last season.

Kenwo4life=ratings

by KenWo4LiFe on Sep 23, 2009 11:34 AM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Pujols is not human, McGwire is enhanced,

…And Carlton Fisk never had as good a hitting season as Quentin, though he was a catcher so presumably he could have in a couple of years without the wear and tear. Anywho, good hitter doesn’t presume hall of famer/Barry Bonds. He has talent and had a good season even with a strange stance.

This bullpen is going to be awful next year

As frustrating as Dotel has been at times this year, he has also been extremely reliable for stretches and as scary as it sounds, I think the Sox will miss him. ANd he’ll be replaced with Nunez? Pena??

If Dotel and Jenks aren’t on this team next year… can the internal options be counted on with the leftovers of Linebrink, Carrasco, Pena, etc?

Scary proposition.

Agreed. Only 6 guys have had two top 10 FIPs over the last three years:

Bell, Papelbon, Rivera, Broxton, Nathan and Easy Heat. IMO, that makes it crystal clear why Thornton should be our closer in 2010.

my point was that the guy is likely capable of closing games as well as the others on the list.

that said, Jenks’ has a near identical (actually a touch higher) gmLI (leverage index when entering a game) to Easy’s. that suggests Ozzie has been using both in equally leveraged situations.

I would be interested in comparing how BJ does when coming in

with no one on vs. Thorny in the same situation. And how each of them do in the 2nd inning of relief.

I’m still not convinced Thorny can be labeled “closer” and handle it.

Things don't look good.

Unless we get some talent like Rick Vaughn from the California Penal League… I pretty much think we are going to suck for the next couple years. They already said there will be no changes in the infield, the outfield is full of question marks, Pods is being discussed as a DH, there isn’t any hitters in the minors that will help us, the bullpen blows donkeys…. the starters are going to have to go 9 every fucking game next year. bring on 2011.

We should be much better going into 2010 than we were going into 2009.

If healthy, we should have one of the best starting rotations in the AL. We will have a real center fielder and a better defensive outfield just with the subtraction of Dye. Our infield defense has improved steadily since the beginning of the year and should actually be average to above average next year. We will have a full year of Beckham and Rios and a healthy Q? We do have a couple of areas that need improvement such as DH and the outfield replacement for Dye. I don’t understand why you are so concerned about the bullpen, we haven’t lost anyone yet and may not. Our bullpen was not our biggest problem this year, in fact it was pretty good when compared to AL bullpens.

by mick10 on Sep 23, 2009 1:23 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

2 pitchers pitched well out of the bullpen

Thornton and DJ. Jenks and Dotel were ok… the rest were bad news. I suppose you could expect Thornton to repeat… not DJ. I would think that Jenks will be moved and Octavio won’t be brought back. You will indeed get more linebrink and pena which is pretty scary.

How can you count on Q and Rios after seeing this pathetic effort? I think Dye is more likely to have a good season than either of those 2. They are already crying poor so you won’t see any free agent pickups. The infield defense will remain as is. The power that Thome and Dye brought is gone and nobody is here to replace it.

I am very very concerned right now. Can that change? I suppose…. but it looks bleak. They are going to count on a starting staff and a piss poor division again. It didn’t work this year and it won’t work next.

I hear what you're saying but

I’ll still take Rios and Beckham over Wise/Anderson and Fields starting the year for us. We’ve seen how good Q can be when healthy and how bad he can be when hurt. I’ll take my chances with a healthy Quentin any day. I’ll also take Peavy/Garcia/Hudson over Count/Colon/Richard too.
We’ll just have to wait and see what KW wants to do in the off-season but I don’t think it’s as bad as you’re making it out to be. Who scares you in this division?

but thats still a piss poor excuse to put your hopes on winning the division because everyone else sucks. This could easily be an era where the sox make the playoffs most every year… you don’t get those opportunities often… and they pissed away 2006, they sucked in 2007, they almost pissed away 2005 and 2008 and now they pissed away 2009.

Peavy, Beuhrle, Floyd, Danks.

We’ll be fine. Not hard to find a DH, Beckham’s a year older, Rios should level out, I don’t see why we shouldn’t feel good about 2010.

by Grinder in Training on Sep 23, 2009 2:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because the offense, defense, and bullpen all look horrible for 2010?

Right now the leading candidate to DH is Pods. The open OF slot right now is between Wise and Kotsay. And the numbers say Rios and Q are actually pretty sucky hitters. They might be a little better next season, but there’s no reason to expect either to repeat a performance from 2 years ago at this point.

To compete next season, at a minimum the Sox need to find two above average bats and one above average reliever. They don’t have those guys in the organization right now, so we’ll have to see if KW makes a trade….

Bleak?

Dude you need some drugs. You are making assumptions on Rios for what 120 abs? In all that is wrong with Q the dude still has a .224 BABIP this year.

The rotation is top notch, which helps any bullpen.

They have some young improving players. There are holes to fill sure, as with any team. Actually LESS than most teams. This year’s team subtracted Swisher and Javy. Hmmm. And still should have won it (or come closer).

If you can’t be excited for the next 2-3 years, I really don’t know what to tell you.

Who? Besides Beckham who is a dandy, i don’t see this. Chris Getz may be a tad better, but I think what you see is basically what you get out of him. you are counting on an outfield of Pods, Quentin and Rios….. I was all for Rios coming. I was a huge fan….but this guy looks absolutely TERRIBLE. The bullpen is in shambles because of a manager who quite frankly doesn’t know what in the hell he is doing…. and everyone keeps talking about how great the starters are- none of them have had a great year. Danks and Floyd were better last year. Buehrle still can’t put two solid halfs together.

The minor leagues aren’t filled with future stars like everyone thinks it is. The organization won’t spend any money. We don’t have any power hitters left on the team. Our fast guy is in his mid 30s and in my opinion sucks. Our catcher catches 2 million innings a year.

I hope I’m wrong… and I have stated things might change… but from where I sit right now, I think the organization is a mess.

How are they in great shape?

their offense fucking blows and they won’t spend money to improve it. So unless they deal one of their starters it isn’t going to be better. If they deal a starter it is taking away from the strength of the club.

Lord forgive me for saying this….. but is Don Cooper really the genius we think he is? It seems to me that David Aardsma, Mike Macdougal and even our boy Nick Magic have been much better without him.

I'm assuming you are talking about the bullpen?

He did have some questionable moves there, especially with Linebrink. But he did see the light with MacDougal, so I can’t blame him completely. He used what he had.

I blame some of this year on Greg Walker not getting any life out of the hitters.

I blame some of this year on the advance scouts by not finding out anything on no experience pitchers we faced.

I blame almost everything on the players.

As the are going away to commercial and Hawk is still giggling, he says “AJ burping…” again.

When Milton Bradley allegedly “refused” to pinch hit, why wouldn’t it be considered a breach of contract? Couldn’t they take action against him? Does the suspension include any suspension of pay?

He’s probably thrilled he was suspended…now he doesn’t have to show up. If I were the Cubs front office, I’d make him come back and sit his ass on the bench the rest of the year…why give him a free pass?

Beginning Wednesday, street light banners commemorating a series of special events in Chicago are going on the auction block for charity. Some of the banners were shown off Tuesday, including those featuring Pres. Barack Obama both before and after his election. A White Sox World Series Championship banner, signed by pitcher Mark Buehrle, is also being sold, as is a Blackhawks playoff banner signed by Denis Savard and Stan Mikita. The bidding starts at 12 p.m. Wednesday at Daley Center. Money raised goes to help the Chicago Anti-hunger Federation and the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
