That would be about as close to guaranteeing a White Sox World Series appearance as you can get without playing any games. Please get in touch with Jerry.....
Bingo!
Haha, good one Jidster. I admire your dedication to will Jerry into forking over the coin to land Bauer. I wish I could share that same dedication, but I honestly think when it's all said and done, there will be just two teams fighting it out to secure his services, and that's the Mets and the Angels. Both clubs have owners who appear to be in possession of bottomless wallets, and I believe one of them will sign Bauer when it's all said and done. All things being equal, if Bauer has to sign with a team not called the White Sox, I'd just as soon see him go with the Mets or some other surprise NL team. This way, depending on the interleague schedule of course, it's possible that the only time we'd face him is if we'd both make it to the World Series.
I'm certainly not against this, especially as you said if we can sign him on the cheap. Maybe just being back home in the friendly confines, Quintana might be able to reach back and find the stuff that made him a most dependable pitcher back in his initial stint with the Good Guys. At worst, he could serve as our long reliever/spot starter, which at the moment is a position on which none of our current pen can stake - unless we try Lopez in that role.
If so - Katz will fix him.
I'll say this much, the man did wonders for Giolito. If he can work just half his magic on some of the other pitchers, we're gonna have ourselves one helluva pitching staff!!If so - Katz will fix him.
i find it hard to believe that's going to happen.
Naturally I'm gonna root big time for this to happen, but I'm sharing the same skeptical attitude with iddy. I just find it hard to believe. Gotta say tho, that's one helluva stick Ozuna brings. Hendricks does seem realistic.
Ho Ho Ho(pe)!!!!!
soooooooo ... wake me when it happens.
I report - you decide.soooooooo ... wake me when it happens.
Unfortunately the way baseball playoffs work it doesn't guarantee anything in the playoffs. It would probably lock in the division, and that matters for sure. But I'll always remember that 2001 Mariners team with 114 wins or something, lost in the first round.
