08:04 AM ET 10.27 | One of Rick Hahn's first duties as general manager of the White Sox is to address free agency -- in particular, the status of catcher A.J. Pierzynski and right-hander Jake Peavy and the expensive club option on third baseman Kevin Youkilis and right-handers Brett Myers and Gavin Floyd. Hahn expects payroll to be close to last season's -- around $97 million. He expects Peavy to get a big offer elsewhere, which could price him out of the Sox' plans. Pierzynski had lunch with chairman Jerry Reinsdorf after the season, and Hahn has been talking to agents, including Pierzynski's agent, Steve Hilliard, last week. "It was a good dialogue," Hahn said. "We'll stay in touch. Until he gets out there and sees what his market is and we explore alternatives and other ways to spend our money, it's impossible to handicap."

Pierzynski should try his luck in other teams not that he could get a big of a contract but if you never try outside from Chicago then how would you know your capabilities as a catcher???

Jake Peavy could have better luck than any other free agent, know why? He is a pitcher plus he its a starter and not just any starter, Brett myers should get a one year deal either with the pirates or the royals,,,,

The trouble with new GMs is they want to stick their fingers in everything, making a club that's close to what they did to the Blackhawks.

True, but GMs remind me of some engineers, always fixing things until they don't work like they did:)

wiseup: finding good catchers who can hit ii in the same category as finding 3bmen who can field and hit. Unless you have another option at catcher you might think twice about not signing pierzynski. The other guys Peavy , Myers ,And Floyd the Sox could probably be replaced by trade or free agency( which could be lean maket ) which will drive prices up for top players.
