Considering he came up with the offseason plan idea, it’s only fair that Striker puts his baseball mind on trial with his own blueprint. Although it’s not quite fair that he gets the benefit of the Mark Teahen trade, he does go in a different direction with it. * * * Contracts: 1. Dotel: Decline, [...]
Is eight enough?
Before we get to the last offseason plan I have lined up, a couple of quick notes: *Akinori Iwamura, whose name was brought up a couple times in discussion, is heading to the Pittsburgh Pirates for reliever Jesse Chavez. Nice move for Pittsburgh. *U-God at South Side Sox has been swept up by the craze [...]
It’s not the offseason yet
The Phillies extended the baseball season at least two more days, so we’ll have to wait a little longer to see if the Boston Globe’s Nick Cafardo has a legitimate idea here: 4. Johnny Damon, LF, Yankees – If the Yankees don’t bring him back, the White Sox look like a good fit. They need [...]
Back to the drawing board
Now that we’re back to a lack of news, let’s get back to the offseason plans. This one is courtesy of marshlands: MUST-MAKE DECISIONS 1) Octavio Dotel: Arbitration, or not? Do not offer arbitration to Octavio Dotel. He’s been serviceable throughout his career (even excellent at times), but given the volatility of relief pitchers, it’s [...]
Viciedo injured, and one more plan
We can officially call Dayan Viciedo’s first minor-league season “underwhelming.” His Arizona Fall League experience came to an end on Monday. He’d missed the last handful of games, and it turns out elbow inflammation is the culprit. His final AFL line is full of 1′s and 6′s: 18 AB, 6 R, 6 H, 1 2B, [...]
Fourth anniversary, fourth plan
Four years ago, the White Sox gave fans the greatest day in the history of their baseball-loving lives. Therefore, it’s only fitting that we take a look at a fourth plan of attack for the 2009-10 offseason. This one comes all the way from Singapore courtesy of theghostofmansoolee, whose living entity served as the bullpen [...]
Prospect odd and ends, and another offseason plan
Before going into our next offseason plan, here’s C.J. Retherford hitting a homer off Stephen Strasburg. His at-bat begins at the 1:30 mark: [youtube width="480" height="295"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bCcsCP7phU&&start=90[/youtube] (h/t Larry at South Side Sox.) *************************** And now onto our third set of 2009-10 plans, courtesy of Kevin: Arbitration and re-signings: 1. Decline arbitration to Dotel This just [...]
The offseason’s first Kenny cryptogram
As we continue to peer-review our offseason plans, Kenny Williams gives us something to chew on. It’s not a whole lot, of course. Having an entire article based on KenSpeak is the equivalent of putting a bag of oranges into the Juice Loosener. You might get a drop of information out of it, if you’re [...]
knoxfire30′s 2010 White Sox offseason plan
Big ups to an apparently sober Knox for taking the first crack at hashing out a feasible plan for an offseason strategy, turning it around so fast and so thoroughly (seriously, it was a matter of an hour or so) that it almost concerns me. Here are the guidelines, if you missed them, and below [...]
