I don't usually get excited for things like this, but I don't recall ever seen the Sox fan base as a whole this excited for the upcoming season. Hopefully, our enthusiasm continues for a long, long time.

Give it to a kid. it'll mean alot more to them, than it does you throwing it.

In a bizarre turn of events the White Sox sign Harper. In a corresponding move, Engel is designated for assignment. Harper puts up career lows the next three years and picks up his option because nobody wants to pay for a hitter batting .220 with 15 home runs and 60 rbis. Engel was claimed by the Padres. Engel average for the past three seasons was .300/ 20 HRS/ 80 RBS/ 60 SB/ 8 Robbed Homeruns/ 3 gold gloves

That was only because the Giants are apparently willing to go ten years. If the Dodgers offer a 6+ year deal I think he takes it.

He's going to sign March 1st at the latest (my opinion). I feel this is the last ditch effort to get some final bids. Harper loves the game of baseball and its probably killing him not to be in spring training right now. The Phils don't believe they have a good chance was reported to see if it created an opening for a team like the Sox or Giants. We're going to hear about all these offers/meetings for the next 12 or so hours and Harper is going to end up signing. In order of likeliness here are my top teams: 1. Giants 2. Dodgers 3. Phillies 4. Sox 5. Nationals 6. Padres

THE Jake Peter? I don't think the Dodgers are that foolish. We'll have to eat at least 75% of the salary.

Like sign Harper and somehow make the Sox pay for it? "Hey, if you could spot us money to sign Harper we'll let you use our spring training facility"

I don't follow that logic. In that case I'm the number one plan since there isn't any evidence and are completely silent on the idea (even though I would sign at league minimum).

False. Pepsi (White Sox) is far superior when compared to Coke (Cubs). If fact. some people prefer the taste. We could be in worse shape. We be RC Cola (Marlins) or Shasta (Rays)....Never would have thought I would use a pop metaphor for baseball.

That would probably be better doing it at ST. It will be right in front of their faces every day.

I agree Adam LaRoache was worse on the Sox, but I based the list off the players best prime years. Even though LaRoache was worse for the Sox, Dunn had the better career so he made the list. That's also why I put Frazier on, even though admittedly he was a reach.

The only thing Dunn had going for him that year was home runs. He was 76th in the league for OBP. He barely broke 200

I can see the argument for Frazier, but not Dunn. You can't go from batting around .250 for most of your career then bat .220 for the rest of your career without regressing.

Dunn's highest BA here was .219. His second best was .204 Even thought he's not known for his average, those numbers are horrid. Frazier batted .225 and .213 with the Sox. Again, Power numbers are up but those averages are a disaster

Completely forgot about Lofton.
