About a week ago I swore someone posting something about signing Podds and that would never happen? |

Psycory, try a conversation on "White Sox Live" before the baseball season on The SCORE...Brian "The Whipping Boy" Paruch, who is holding court as I type this message on 670 AM, mentioned that a caller mentioned a Pods signing during a chat tonight with the SCORE's Joe Cowley, also from the Sun-Times, in the wake of DeWayne Wise's separated shoulder & subsequent call-up of Jerry Owens after yesterday's 10-6 Sox win in Detroit. SHARK had nothing to do with Owens or Podsednik signing a minor league contract with Triple "A" Charlotte... |

signing a guy on a whim for the minimum and if he works fine. I have no issue with that. Relying on that guy is another thing. But the CF position is a huge F on Kennys report card since the Fire and the Passion left. When Dwayne Wise is the best you can offer over the last 2 years, thats pathetic. Even Corey Patterson, who I think is on a minor league deal with Washington is better than anything they have had the last 2 years. Patterson has the great defense, speed to play the spot and at least can have his hot streaks. Kenny always asks "Who should we have signed". Well Patterson is one. Reed Johnson, free agent last year is another.Craig Monroe, on and on. None of the guys I mentioned are great but they are head and shoulders above what Kenny has filled the spot with to date. |

BigFan, I think the White Sox REALLY wanted Torii Hunter before the Anaheim Angels suddenly offered more $$$$ at the last minute and #48 ended up taking his "Web Gems" to Angel Stadium instead of U.S. Cellular Field over a year ago. Besides, I think the Sox goofed when Coco Crisp ended up going to division rival Kansas City in the offseason...Look, I realize teams everywhere have had to cutback their payrolls as a result of the economy, but center field for the Southsiders has been an embarrassment since Aaron Rowand went to Philadelphia & currently San Francisco after the World Series season of 2005. As for the here & now, Brian Anderson is a one-dimensional ballplayer in my opinion. #32 is really good with the glove, but he sucks as a hitter, and there's a good reason why Ozzie is very reluctant to play B.A. beyond late inning defense. You read it here, BigFan. The undeserving Jerry Owens is somehow going to earn the bulk of the playing time in Wise's absence, while Anderson & his agent are demanding a trade out of Chicago if Ozzie continues to be stubborn!

Not getting a top free agent, has nothing to do with not being able to not find MLB players to fill your roster. I am not talking about GREAT players, I am talking about a guy like Frank Catalanato, who just got released. |

I know he's not the funnyman from the "FOX NFL Sunday" pregame who does dead-on imitations of Jack Nicholson, Jim Rome, Regis Philbin, former President George W. Bush, etc. |

They did draft Kenny Williams Jr a couple of years ago. |

What would it cost to get Lastings Milledge from the Nationals now that he has been sent to the minors? |

Seriously, you'd think he & Reggie Willis from Anaheim would be upgrades over Brian Anderson, Jerry Owens, or whoever else is playing center field for the White Sox right now...

14 HR's and 24 SB's but I get your point. If they acquire a CF I'd like it to be a proven player. Otherwise I'm fine with BA. |
