The Sox 2012 And Beyond (Whitesox901 Edition)

[TheChicagoFan]

Sale is also an option for the rotation...I also like Flowers as part of the future of this team. Viceido, J. Danks, Escobar, Lillibridge and DeAza are not real bad as far as our future goes. To me the furture of this team depends on what we do with some of the veterans like AJ, Konerko, Rios, Beurhle and Thornton IMO.

I don't think Lillibridge should be included. He is a lifetime bench player in my opinion. Otherwise, I agree. Danks, Viciedo, De Aza, and Escobar all look like they'll be good players. The big problem is replacing Konerko. He has carried this team for years now. Once he leaves, it's gonna be tough.

Lillibridge is cheap and solid as a back up and can really fill the super sub spot that KW tried to fill with Teashits. If the veterans are moved for some solid ready for ML talent we should be able to come up with something but first we must get rid of KW & the incomparable OZ!!!

*Danks, De Aza, Humber and Lillibridge are eligible for arbitration. Their salaries are estimated.


:shrug:

Not bad I guess

I hope de aza makes final roster and I agree with tea hens spot on there, I really can't stand peahen I'm glad he got traded

 

[HawkyTalky]

The salary that Peavy will be making in 2012 is just SICKENING.

I want to go to Fantasy Land where my LF is Dunn since he might be a guy that needs to play Defense so he can swing the bat right. I move a Paulie to DH 50-65% of the time to save him up. Then Jerry really goes all in, and gets us 8 years at $31mil per for Albert

Sorry honey, I know our kids aren't eating, but I gotta see Albert again in a Sox uni. *sigh*

KW said let the kids play next year...ok let's!

C- Flowers
1B- Konerko (none better for a young team)
2B- Beckham
SS- Ramirez
3B- Morel
RF- Viceido
CF- DeAza/Danks
LF- Danks/Mitchell

1- Danks
2- Floyd
3- Sale
4- Humber
5- ???

Santos
Thornton
Crain
Oh-man
youngsters to fill out bullpen

at all cost get rid of AJ, Dunn, Peavy, Quentin & Rios don't resign any of our FA's anything we get back for these guys will be an upgrade!!!

That would be letting the kids play!!
