Both the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times are reporting that the White Sox are currently negotiating a minor-league deal with P Hideo Nomo. Nomo went 5-8 in 19 starts with Tampa Bay last season and posted an awful 7.24 ERA. What do they see in him? Flashes of the pitcher he used to be?

No, its a band wagon thing...it's cool to have a few Japanese players on your team...and there is not enough to go around yet. I got it from a highly unrealiable source that says that Nomo has expressed an interest in having some "White Soxs" to go with the Red ones he got in Boston...its a win-win situation. Here's hoping he has a 3rd no-hitter in him...

There was a scare when a crazy phenomina took place in all American League Training Camps today:

Every American league batter's mouth simultaneously started to uncontrollably water.

It was quickly explained though. They had just gotten word that Hideo Nomo might be on someone's major league roster.

Does Nomo have anything left at all? I kind of stopped following this guys career a couple of years back. Is there any chance that he can be a valuable addition to the White Sox?

[Vladman]

No-mo ... nothin left. He lulls the entire stadium to sleep with his windup, his infielders grow stubble by the 5 inning, if he even makes it that far. He is AT BEST , a long reliever to keep for those blowout games where you are already down 9 in the 5th and you need a few innings. But looking at the Sox this year, I don't think that will happen often.

This is the worst move that the White Sox have made. Hopefully that guy will just sit on the bench and only get to the mound when someone gets some rest. Nothing personal mister Nomo...no more no more no mo'.
