Agreed. But then you run into the chicken/egg debate. Perhaps signing these guys will increase our chances of landing Harper or Machado. (Ok, that isn't exactly a chicken/egg scenario, but my points remains)

I got it! Thanks, Chicago White Sox.

I have two options when I click the "menu arrow" next to the tweet. Those two options are "Copy Link to Tweet" and "Embed Tweet". I am choosing the Embed option and then only copying and pasting the part that StrangeSox circled.

I just tried that and my post just came up as a link. What else am I missing?

I'm trying to do it too, and I'm having the same problems as you!

This is obviously fake, but I can't tell if you made this up to be funny or if somebody actually told you that. If you made it "coworker's sister's mailman", then it would have been a dead giveaway for you just being funny.

On a scale of 1 to peavy, how trustworthy is this?

Hard to know, because we would be looking at it from a different perspective. I'm guessing I would not think we would sign one of them.

Was this a tweet? I didn't see it when I scanned his feed.

Yep. Seems like the plan might be for him to just move up with those AA guys all the way to the big leagues.

Discuss...

Depends on a few factors: 1. Are there other guys knocking on the door? (Adams, Stephens...maybe Cease) 2. Are we in contention at all? 3. How bad is he? Is he showing signs of improvement at all?

Da Bears!!! But to answer your question, I'm taking the Sox.

And he wants to live and be a part of the city of Chicago.

Agreed. If it were up to Soxtalk, Eloy would already be getting reps at 1B in the winter league right now.

If you post your phone number, I can give you a call. Actually, just post your credit card number and SS# and I'll get you signed up for a premium account.

This thread is so entertaining that I haven't clicked on any other threads in a while. Have we traded Abreu to the Dodgers yet? Has Eloy hit any more grand slams in winter ball?

Well why didn't you just say that to begin with? Now we believe you. I talked to someone once, and he's pretty trustworthy.

Manny Machado

Is 4 years the max you would give Eovaldi if you're the White Sox? Also, do you think the Yankees or Phillies would give him 5 years now that they missed out on Corbin?

Let him start the year at 2B, where he is comfortable now. Hopefully he can get his offensive game going. Then sprinkle in some games at 3B throughout the year, and officially move him later if you have to.

I’m fairly sure nobody would have given us more. If Hahn doesn’t take that deal, we are sitting here today in a worse position.

The statements in bold seem to be a contradiction.

He could be blocking Hamilton, Burr, Burdi, or in a couple years, Johnson. ?

Who are these people that are convinced we will land one of them? The most confident I’ve seen somebody is the guy who just said he is “fairly confident”, and that guy is in the minority. I think most optimistic people feel there’s about a 30/40% chance we sign one of them.
