" Steve Stone -- to maybe Jazz -- Friday during or. On this baseball season. The White Sox have a disease colonial Mario. Yeah everything's good -- red -- they were told you're on the golf course and you've hit every drive straight as a string you're reading greens like a master."

" Well I can we don't like command central I think somebody else that's about them which is alive. Scramble is so important at this stage."

" It's hey speaking of a scramble it appears that do you White Sox are scrambling. To their roster around right now moving positions getting new guys say goodbye. To. Long standing veterans what's going on here with the move of Beckham to second playing TN a third and what's next."

" Well I think one other thing that they sit out the blue. Is that may help -- make good defense and."

" Really like kind of -- but I think he was fairly limited defensively I think we crickets are gonna be a good solid player. I don't think you ever become a great player. First game is concerned you know teams line drives in Kansas City are going to be home runs did our ballpark. I think they feel that is. Better position is third base and they figure that. Beckham has an actual. And so I think because of bad they feel that the he can adjust to second base. Interesting thing is that you pickup that he can play shortstop better than Ramirez who played. You know played a great at second base they would probably do that but they figure that -- a little more range at -- keeping the status quo there right now. -- Gordon Beckham yet another position in this his second year."

" rarely does he said this a couple of weeks ago when I never thought he -- assume that Dick Gordon Beckham's future was at second base don't I never I never saw their court so -- Were aware that this is eventually going to happen."

" another -- it was going to be at second -- but I felt that -- gonna have to make what they felt was the best trade available for an infielder. And there was going to be a second base so well they would you know they would keep Beckham the third base."

" It was going to be a guy who had the flexibility of CNN they can play a lot of different places. I don't think he's a real good second baseman. I think he's even more than adequate third base look so you don't worry about it then -- we -- play either corner in the outfield. And I think that they feel that. Perhaps Beckham will adjust a little bit more don't get either lifetime -- I knew he had a longer period of time potential baseball."

" You have -- and it a lot of time at second base and so my body adjusted very well -- But apparently they feel much for a couple in the second."

" So what happens now in the outfield does Carlos Quinton stayed in left. Jermaine Dye is now on our day with zednik apparently out of the picture based on the quote from Kenny Williams and Joe -- is saying the Pacific is priced himself out you know you've got real -- is Jordan -- coming up and what are you doing at designated hitter does that mean you go. And make a run that -- less expensive Jim Thome or maybe you renegotiate with dot."

" Well I think there's a couple of things that -- come into play number one when you have scored Carlos Quentin is going to go so dependent who's out there who is available it was cost effective. Because if you get yourself a guy that can play left field and can really. Can really playing -- than -- like you know he was essentially born raised her right fielder I don't think he'll have to any problems -- that. Okay the DH is concerned I think the fact Boston."

" At the end of last year about the the desire to ever rotating designated hitter which makes a great deal upset."

" I wanna get better defensively there's no doubt they will be with trio -- Turner Field on a daily basis. And the question is just truly going to be out there and who is available I don't believe that. And and do anything and I've heard maybe. Nine million for four or something along those lines are three for ten for Chone Figgins I think that's a pipe dream. So I think that there is few other guys will be out there additional beat him and I think they have to wait and see who is there now. There's a couple of different ways you just don't have to go out there and and give yourself for those free agents. You can certainly go out there and you can and try to make a deal and they don't have a lot of tradable commodities -- one of the guys they do have a lot of good I'm sure they'll talk about is Bobby Jenks I mean he's a guy that is not enough."

" shown that he can get the 27 out."

" Yeah that might have a certain amount of appeals to to a number of different game and then it just depends on how you match up as far as your personnel."

" What you need and what they have."

" She seems silly like the only logical car -- let's just. That you have left to play is Bobby Jenks I mean there's some value to some the other players. But neither -- I mean if you're really looking for something good. In return -- that seems to make the most sense alive I'm kinda thinking Bobby we've we've probably seen the last of them I'm guessing."

" Well I'd -- a lot of that's one of those things that you would have is. -- Bobby you also have the if you wanna make peace substantial -- you've got some very good younger players. And what -- guys that most teams at this point don't wanna give up pretty obvious reasons they're cheap and you know you might have a chance to. Could get them and and develop them for a long time in your system. I don't think they're that they should really quite yet hotel and very good Arizona Fall League. You know this guy. And got a chance to be pretty decent players this year don't have an elbow problem don't know if you you know about dead it was bothering him a little bit -- the relation I'm home. Sort of sacred you have to work about the trio is the the diet plan that he's out because whatever it is it's not working. So they've gotta they've got to get him doubted it a little better playing shape and should near the -- Farley. Hard throwers -- pitchers are concerned there wasn't a whole lot found it down down here. -- the position players what they have a lot of those guys some double leg. I was pretty decent there's a couple of guys -- that would pretty decent I think you guys -- I think you know you're looking for a guy that can be. An impact type tradable guy embodied Jake seems a logical guy but. -- other should've fired Shell in Galliano a one year deal. And it's not for an extraordinary amount of money so I think Jim. You know I think -- that's something again they're going to explore how big this particular -- by the way it was a very good on contraction. Yeah. I think he ever used Josh Fields and any. Position I think personally you've got to go to the national league for guys don't throw as many inside fastball that I felt believe he can catch up to the ball and understands. Okay let's get -- is concerned I think that he's going to be. Solid player. But that's about it I know he can run real well. I don't think -- Ethiopia -- a good player. Maybe maybe -- tick above average maybe just an average second I don't like give them especially going to his right and I think like TNT and -- I do believe that he'll show a lot more power than he showed in Kansas City just by playing you're not US cellular field."

" Oh let's get back to signal what she said those numbers on Chone Figgins to cemetery and ever discussing yesterday receive federal free agent climate. It was certainly easy last year when we had to complete the global economic panic. For owners for owners to stay home well I don't know I don't know anything and be able to collude without colluding. And now we know that attendance is down and it usually means that income is down of other teams haven't found -- ancillary you know web based ways -- just trying to raise more money. Let me those numbers were shockingly low the UK for figured I -- a minimum of twelve million a year or. Four for -- three."

" Yeah I don't think so I think if you take a look at his entire game I know -- played tonight they're -- as a leadoff hitter."

" You know the part of this -- I think that might be overly optimistic now it depends on the big boys get in -- bidding war but. Like last year you -- this year ago 480 million you're gonna see Matt Holliday although for a 180 he's going to be he's going to be one of the guys that. That is gonna get the big money so you look at him. If you look at John Lackey he's another one of the guys gonna get the big money I think you know not near as much as sabathia but that's going to be this sabathia and the addition. Of this year's free agency saw Bobby Abreu got. Now take a look at Bobby Abreu the number."

" He walked 94 time he drove in a 103 runs he had I believe over 300."

" You played like usually go -- just before game."

" They -- two years or nineteen million there's a lot of guys that felt that you know maybe he'd get a little bit more than that night and a half million dollars a year."

" But let me take a look at what he did put that entire lineup and realize just how good he is the fact that Vlad Guerrero is probably going to be gone. I think it's -- a pretty good deal of vertebrae who goes with."

" He'd take a look in that area and I have our country and pagan get much more than that but again it depends on who's doing the bidding."

" Every look at this created a realistic goal is very dumb and we don't Lester we should have this sort of where there were all kinda sitting around waiting Williams -- in -- rule. Yeah that's what we. We see them. We'll -- you will this be another work guys like Blatter. There's some of these other guys there's some decent players other I don't know committee great players suffered a decent players won't we see the same thing good in February or march -- Wright guess. It died January suppose that to still be five or six pretty quality players that haven't been signed."

" Yes I -- think you'll see some guys that are sitting back in the waiting at how much have you seen that many doing what Bobby Abreu did. Essentially I think himself into an area we have had a one year contract -- five million dollars. I mean that was a great talent they're that was a wonderful deal by Tony reinvent. And the Angels because they said that they waited they had a quality player that. Actually -- and helped redesign their lineup because of the patients that he had. I don't think you're going to be able exceed that this year I -- think you'll find -- players. Getting that little money but I think you'll see some guys hang around a lot longer than they hung out -- and I think you're gonna see some guys got together a little surprised. A lot of course. We owners had a really good thing and invested in that column -- about maybe. Maybe a year ago and decided that because we're printing money like crazy -- who's gonna go up 25%. And they do you have the money outside of the revenue streams that they normally would get it educational because -- couple -- earlier but I don't -- happen. -- The Cubs are done here and it's not that doesn't feel that they're gonna wind up in mesa -- being courted very heavily in Florida. They're talking with an Indian reservation out here. And that got tried different types are so with mesa."

" Let's committing however if they -- the -- this week that the impact on the Jets this truly is 52 and half million dollars."

" Obviously there's a tremendous amount of incentive to keep them here. If they lose the Cubs the largest drug hereby higher. It could be fairly disastrous to our economy already that's reeling because Libya. The two of them -- because of their real estate business so keep your eye on what's exactly going on with the Cubs because it's gonna be very interesting over the next you --"

" But the Cubs gonna -- Mike Cameron no."

" Big deal a blow to. Yeah at center fielder in the simple reason is that Fukudome as a minus center fielder but he's a -- Blake fielder I think they realize offensively. That they really overestimated his contributions but they know they have to get their defense a little bit better and to do that. They have to move Fukudome to right they haven't yet been on the center fielder -- different Cameron I think he's he's good enough although he's a little bit older at this point but. -- pretty good player. And the other thing you have to do it. Generally those eventual position is going to be second base they have -- shop and -- and Chester it's going to be there but maybe not the beginning of the year. I would move. -- yeah the second base get him to learn that position -- we learned that position again getting used to it after the stopgap kind of guy George W Purcell and Castro. -- got a chance to be terrific -- It's gonna come up developed by the Cubs sure their system that can happen Afflalo a lot of cub fan --"

" If he had some rickets public rollout was fairly impressive I thought it seemed to be. Certainly said all the right things and all the right ways to agree."

" There's no doubt for a -- he's a terrific guy -- he has been a Cubs fan but also we understand Chicago we understand like the other fans."

" And he did talk about the improvement of the minor leagues which they have to do take a look -- always been thinking your memory bank. In the last. Couple of impact players that came out of the Cubs system. That we're not pitchers. And you'll look all the way backed Iraqi."

" I don't like what impact players for guys that you would say well this guy can really do something for you and you're talking about it -- what."

" Clearly it is. It's a long time. Political economic and everything else to make sense to hook. To go get done minor league since that working out put a few more dollars in there and quit buying yourself out of -- contract."

" All you have -- quality good guide to golf and by the way the only got to wonder about reduces. I was told you liked the show so I think I think did you cross -- last but I think there's probably something wrong with a I think I'm guessing. I don't want the credit they -- you guys on defense do you still in these scores based."
