Hoping we field a MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM this year and not another AAA one.

Reinsdorf and company did just save $20 million by the Bulls giving Deng away. There's no doubt the Sox have the money to spend and can play the bidding war, however that's not the issue. Tanaka will have to want to come to Chicago over the west coast (likely where he ends up)

Something else I thought was interesting with Tanaka, Kenny Williams was quoted in the Sun-Times as saying he was out of town "on White Sox business" when he wasn't at the Hurt's HOF press conference.. Of which will result in very good news for Sox fans in a couple days... At the very least, the Sox are going to be bidding high for Tanaka.

I hear ya. A's have done that for a while. 2 years in a row to playoffs, 2 years in a row knocked out. Maybe this year they can make it further.

Looking forward to the season.

A's have had a very nice team the past couple years, hardly AAA.

We just have a different opinion on what a AAA team is, his AAA team makes the playoffs 2 years in a row


Oh A-Roid 60 minutes tonight, this should be fun.

Yeah, you want an example of triple A? Look no further than west 35th street, Chicago IL

A-Roid is full of lies

You know the Yankees are trying to figure out how to void his contract as we speak, at least if he got suspended for 1+ years they had an out on having to pay him, but with it under a year they are boned, granted it makes me smile.

I can't see how they can even let him show up for spring training, I'm assuming he won't with the ban in place, of course he will say everything that guy said was a lie and how he is going to sue everyone in the northern hemisphere how they are all out to get him and try to deflect this and blame others. He's a lying sack of crap.

I bet there's language in his contract that has him covered. With the Yanks needing someone at third, maybe that lowers the interest in Tanaka.

Before that, I was saying. The A's did nothing but there AAA team, the Rivercats would win quite a bit. Nothing for the major's

Only Triple A team playing in the majors resides on the north side of Chicago at Clark & Addison.

They won more games than the White Sox. Marlins and Astros too, for that matter.

That may be but I still think they're not much better than a lot of AAA teams, and I've been a fan since 1972. They may have a few good players on the roster but I don't see any real superstars that's going to get them to the playoffs much less ever win a championship any time soon.
