Tbo doesn't really like baseball, so I wouldn't even call him a Cubs fan.

Seriously let it go man. This is what I am talking about when I mention how different your posts are in the two forums. Not one Cubs fan posted that they thought he was done. In fact everyone of us, not counting tbo since he is our Capt. Serious, said that this was a great deal for the Sox.
I did posit that the fact the White Sox got him for so little might mean that other teams didn't think he was worth the risk. But whatever you can be all offended by that.

I said it at the time and I stand by it. The fact that the Sox paid so little to get him means that other teams didn't think he was worth that minimal gamble at this point in time. KW might be right and it involves very little risk which is why this is a good to great move for the Sox. I just find it telling that teams with as pressing of a need for a right handed stick weren't willing to ante up.

again we dont know the circumstances. This may like suggested on twitter, happened so quick in boston that they needed him out of there fast Add the fact that the white sox have the worst 3b numbers in the league. its basically 2 desperate teams getting together. im sure KW was exploring this a lot sooner than other teams since he saw how bad 3b has been.

You're right that we don't know the circumstances, but at the same time would it not have been in the BoSox interest to go to the other teams involved and say give us your best offer. I think this a good move for the White Sox and has the potential to be a great move for them if he regains any form he had prior to this year. I just think that looking at what we know and using reason we can deduce that other teams didn't think right now he was worth the risk.

I forget who tweeted it, but someone said something to the effect that social media is useless if the White Sox/Red Sox couldn't figure out a way for the kid to meet Lillibridge.

I agree. As lillibridge is just a utility guy, something in this kids life made him attached to him as a player. I really hope he gets to meet him. Id be willing to bet he asks brent to comeback to the white sox if he does. baseball memories beginning for the youngster.

Originally, I was opposed to the idea of picking up Youk. Had I known then that all we would have to give up is Zack Stewart and Brent Lillibridge, I would've signed up for that in a second! Hopefully it works out...

A less than flattering take on Youkilis's chances at rebound which Dewey will accuse me of trolling for posting.
