Forgot about this. We were all so young.

January 8, 2014 – White Sox legend Frank Thomas, was elected to the Hall of Fame on his first try, with almost 84 per cent support. Thomas played the first 16 years of his career on the South Side, and was a five-time All-Star and two-time M.V.P. in 1993 and 1994. He also was the largest person both in height and weight to win a batting championship when he hit .347 in 1997. He also was the only player in history to hit over .300 with at least 100 runs, 100 RBI’s, 20 home runs and 100 walks in his first seven seasons.

If he's hitting .100/.200/.230 in the middle of June, I'll bet they can convince him to get optioned.

Embarrassing.

Not only are they terrible, Coors will inflate his stats nicely to screw him over for next offseason.

No problem. You’re welcome for sharing the obvious with you.

Do you not understand the meaning of words? He said: He expects Robert to be their CF, but they'll listen. Point out the lie.

Not even the Sox were stupid enough to meet that price.

Wasn't ever too much surplus value / window to trade Robert the last three seasons given his performance and injuries. Probably the fact of the matter at this point is the Sox have bigger fish to fry. If he gets moved great, if he doesn't, fine, he's not going to be a part of the next good Sox team either way.

Glad that you know the REAL truth.

So, again. He's not lying. He is lying. Even if he is lying, everyone does it, so it's ok. Thanks again.

Pitcher for the Rockies would probably be a last choice, right after Savannah Bananas.

Both him and Jacob Gonzalez for that matter.

He didn't say it's not happening. He said he expects LRJ to be their CF, although they'll listen to offers. Half the people complaining about this situation agree that they expect him to open the year in CF. I believe you even said that. You seem to imply that not bearing one's soul and spilling out all of one's motivations and goals is "lying". I laugh with you.

You're nuts.

Depth move for Seattle I guess. I’ll be surprised if he makes it out of camp or even sees Tacoma.

It's funny you say this, but yet you proceed to very clearly agree with me that he is manipulating the truth and not giving the whole truth to people, meanwhile telling everyone its actually not happening, but even if he is, it is perfectly ok, because of how you buy cars, and you definitely can't handle it being said without having to rushing to defend it. Again. Mock it all you like, but then stop making my points for me.

He's a Svengali, manipulating everybody he encounters - while being too dumb to make the correct statement to the press. Like threading two needles, miles away from each other, with the same camel. Only one group of clever posters can decipher the deception. The rest of us are smitten. If you'll excuse me, I have some real property to transfer over to GetzCo. I don't know why. I just do.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

You used the word lie or lying 5 times in this post when referring to Getz over trading a player as if you arent fully aware that GM's and agents all dont partake in some kind of manipulative word games as part of off season rhetoric. You show way more disdain for Getz with your sarcastic blast at anything you perceive as pro Getz with your Oz reference and pretentious use of "lying" than Eddy ever shows in trying to protray a fair picture of the Sox front office. Let's just call a spade a spade . This is all about continuing the narrative that Getz is a villain and ignoring that there has been quite a bit of others buying into what Getz is trying to build . He isn't some Svengali although you seem to revel in portraying him as such.

I agree. Its a game and deception is part of it. Using words like Getz is lying or Getz is a liar is more inflamatory and more Anti Getz than anything you say that people perceive as pro Getz. We should all be Pro what's best for the White Sox and it's my understanding that Getz and his staff are doing their best under trying financial restraints. Let's not pretend that there's anything more sinister going on here besides an owner extremely cognizant of preparing the team to be sold so his heirs make as much money as possible after his death.

I hadn't even read what you say here before I made my post (above) that started with "3rd time's the charm ?" in which I also took a look at the big picture which is very much in line with your too simplistic look philosophy .
