It appears to be official now, as do the years and money.

Seems to be just crossing the wire. 5 years, no word on money yet.

 

:!:

[YearofDaCubs]

Wow, so Ken Williams didn't get anyone to play CF.

[WrigleyinEngland]

5 years? got to be at least $50mill? i'll take a Fuk-u thanks!!!

[Banedon]

Wow...the Sox lose again.

[Rob]

That's hilarious.

 

Rowand may be a gamer, but he's not much of a player most years.

[bukie]

I see the youth movement is in full swing in SF.

[C.C.]

A smile just crossed my face.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sabean looks like he's going to race Colletti to the bottom of the NL West. He has a head start from when Colletti started, but to be fair he did that himself.

[Smack]

haha... go Sox go...

[C.C.]

I'm guessing 5/70.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

wow, they must have recently discovered that he was actually 38

[UMFan83]

Man how have times changed since 2005? I thought KW was a genius?

 

As for SF, WTF? I guess they are just trying to ensure that they win more than 60 games this year...

[The Voice of Reason]

Kenny Williams has been put in a straight jacket and all sharp objects have been taken from him.

[sneakypower]

Wow...the Sox lose again.

I consider them to be winners in this saga, not signing Rowand or Hunter.

Who plays CF. Owens?

does it matter? they probably weren't going to contend next year and getting rowand or hunter wouldn't have changed that. not getting one of those two (add jones to that list as well) is a good thing considering the price.

[YearofDaCubs]

According to espn1000(levine) 60 million dollar contract.

Might as well clean house now.

My prediction from 4 hours ago was wrong.

 

Headline: Cubs sign Fukudome

 

Tomorrow's Headline: Williams signs Rowand for $200 million over 10 years. Sox fans are ecstatic.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I would agree - but Kenny is still going to get bashed by most Sox fans and the media.

Moreso because he's an obnoxious SOB and talks too much.

[Ryno12]

Can we now trade the Sox Marquis or Dempster for Orlando Cabrera. It's not like they're going to win anytime soon, and by the time they are in a position to win, Cabrera will be declining.

 

Sarcasm intended.

If Williams had half a brain he would have figured that out by now. Look at the trades being made and tell me what in the way of prospects the White Sox could have gotten for Buerhle, Dye, Konerko, Garland, Vazquez, and Crede. They could have received a minimum of 6-7 top prospects and 3-4 middle prospects. Instead they're stuck with an aging team full of players with NTCs that has no hope of contending in the next 5 years.
