Hmm, let's roll...

But this year those meetings are taking place in Chicago -- an unnamed hotel near O'hare, actually -- which means the local Chicago rags can afford to send their writers to cover the relative non-event. So we've got a lot to link to for a week after the World Series...

Ken Williams appreciates Scott Podsednik's contributions, but the White Sox's general manager said he won't sacrifice other needs for the sake of filling the leadoff role.

Chris De Luca of the Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that White Sox GM Kenny Williams flatly denied that Chicago would have enough money to spend on free agent leadoff hitter Chone Figgins. ''We don't have that kind of money," Williams said. "Sometimes the minor [free-agent deals] are the major ones, in my mind. How many Novembers have you heard that line?" De Luca does report, however,...

Let's close out this Sunday evening with a few links... Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune runs down the Cubs' offseason wish list. Unsurprisingly, getting rid of Milton Bradley is the top priority. The agent for Scott Podsednik claims that the lines of communication with the White Sox are still open, despite GM Ken Williams' reluctance to re-sign the 33-year-old. Scotty Pods was made expendable...

Jermaine Dye, Scott Podsednik likely gone for good The acquisition of Mark Teahen and move of Gordon Beckham from third to second is just the start of a busy offseason. "Money's tight all over the world, certainly on the South Side," GM Ken Williams said. "Whatever the break-even numbers are, we'll spend whatever we have that's available. But it's not much."

The New York Yankees are just one victory away from another World Series championship as they prepare to take on the Phillies tonight in Game 5, but even though the season isn't over yet some folks in Boston are already talking about the future of some Yankee free agents. One of whom is left-fielder Johnny Damon. The Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo says that Damon could be a good fit for the White

I'm still in Japan, but the internet situation has gone from worse to bad. Sister blog South Side Sox has its own reasons to wonder about the value of hitting coaches—in this case, of standing pat following Alex Rios's disastrous first year in Chicago. I'm not extremely familiar with the situation, but the case against Greg Walker seems to be the case against Hal McRae and, to be fair, most hitting...

For those wondering why the Tigers didn't fire Lloyd McClendon as hitting coach after the season, perhaps the team reached many of the same conclusions as Bill Ferris did at The Detroit Tigers Weblog . Did Tigers batters perform below expectations, compared to preseason projections? The answers might surprise you. Dave Dombrowski told the Detroit News ' Lynn Henning that there's " no question...

Anyone else having trouble staying awake this morning? And I can't even claim to have kept my eyes open for all 246 minutes of play last night. I did, however, get to watch the ninth inning. I guess my internal body clock was telling me it was time to watch some exciting baseball. Thankfully, it wasn't wrong. Anyway, with a much more humane 6:07pm start time tonight, we're less than 7 hours from game...

Rogers says Griffey still has fun in baseball and the real surprise will be if he doesn't come back. Adam McCalvy says the White Sox will meet with Scott Podsednik's agent, Ryan Gleichowski, this month. The two sides have had preliminary discussions, and Podsednik has expressed interest...

OAKLAND, Calif. – Mark Ellis lined a home run just over the left-field wall with two outs in the ninth inning and the Oakland Athletics avoided a three-game sweep with a 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox on Sunday. Ellis hit his third career game-winning homer and first since June 8 last year against the Angels off Bobby Jenks (2-4), who had previously posted five straight scoreless outings. Scott...
