November 22, 200718 yr As per Rotoworld: The White Sox and Scott Linebrink have agreed to a four-year, $19 million deal, ESPN 1000 in Chicago is reporting. Sort of a bad break for the Brewers, as they'll have to settle for a second-rounder to go along with their supplemental first-round pick. As horrible as their pen beyond Bobby Jenks was last season, it figured that the White Sox would bring in one of the top free-agent setup men this winter. This may add some fuel to the rumor that the White Sox will trade Jenks for a center fielder -- Melky Cabrera has been mentioned -- but we doubt that will happen. Linebrink figures to give up a lot of homers moving to the AL Central and U.S. Cellular Field. Still, he'll be a durable and fairly reliable setup man, likely for the life of the deal. The White Sox really needed to improve their pen, this will help. Agree with Rotoworld's comments though, Linebrink may not be as successful in the AL Central.
November 22, 200718 yr Gregg's gotta be worth a fortune in a trade :lol Srsly, and he's not worth what he's going to get in arby.
November 23, 200718 yr And yet you know he's still going to be on the team next year. Cuz, you know, he has closing experience. And that's soooooo valueable. f***
November 24, 200718 yr Don't trade Jenks for Melky Ozzie! We're supposed to upgrade our pen not our offense which won't be bad as last season...

November 24, 200718 yr Don't trade Jenks for Melky Ozzie! We're supposed to upgrade our pen not our offense which won't be bad as last season... That can't be a real rumor. And it woould be Kenny, not Ozzie.
