Without a doubt this is the best Sox forum out there.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 10:31 AM) I'm thinking this may be an arod/pujols scenario where there's a number of teams in the race and then all the sudden the number is way over what people expected. Don't these people ever learn?

Lot of veteran guys we brought in over the years thinking "hey, he's not too bad, stats look decent" and then you get a close look at them every day and realize why the other team got rid of them.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 11, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) Dayan Viciedo? I don't think a 25/78 season makes him the worst player in White Sox history. I think he just missed the top ten worst WAR I posted earlier.

All Thompson has to do is perform as he has all the way up the ladder. If he hits .235, 15HR and draws some walks, plus above average defense in CF and you have a good player.

Pitchers Name WAR Scott Eyre -1.4 Ken Patterson -1.3 Jesse Jefferson -0.9 Carlos Castillo -0.8 Lerrin LaGrow -0.5 Doug Drabek -0.1 Hector Noesi 0.1 Dylan Axelrod 0.1 Cy Acosta 0.2

Batters Since 1952: Name WAR Luis Alvarado -2.5 Rich Morales -2.1 Greg Norton -1.7 Jeff Abbott -1.7 George Bell -1.6 Avisail Garcia -1.5 Mike Squires -1.1 Mike Caruso -1 Chris Snopek -0.9

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Dec 10, 2015 -> 04:11 PM) Wait the Sox have a crowded OF? Who's crowding it? All the negative WAR bums? That's exactly what I was thinking!

OK. Def WAR A. -12.2 B. -13.8

Just hold him. Maybe he looks good in spring. Maybe some team is desperate. Maybe. His trade value can't be any lower than it is now.

Which is which? G AB PA H 1B 2B 3B HR R RBI BB IBB SO HBP SF SH GDP SB CS AVG A. 149 562 602 146 98 29 3 16 64 60 28 1 144 5 4 3 8 5 2 0.260 B. 148 553 601 142 110 17 2 13 66 59 36 3 141 8 4 0 13 7 7 0.257

Eaton is actually deaf. No attitude problem.

WILL Lamb, the pitcher, not JAKE

OK, when he starts beating his wife and driving drunk, somebdy PM me so I can get worked up about it.

so what bad stuff did Lawrie do that I'm not supposed to like him? what did I miss?

I didn't want the guy but can't complain on the price. The lineup still needs some major upgrades.

Dunn was a F*ing disaster. anyone who thinks otherwise must be sniffing glue. 2011 was perhaps the worst performance in MLB history: Season Team wRC+ 2007 Reds 135 2008 2 Teams 130 2009 Nationals 142 2010 Nationals 136 2011 White Sox 60 2012 White Sox 115 2013 White Sox 107

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 02:47 PM) Lawrie isn't a terrible fielder that's uncertain.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 11:25 AM) He'll light a fire for this team Hopefully not the spark that sends the dumpster ablaze.

QUOTE (staxx @ Dec 9, 2015 -> 10:19 AM) Lawrie would easily be our best 3B since Crede if this happens. Not sure why so many don't like it. A. we don't know what the sox are giving up. B. he's not that good, and C. best since Crede can still be garbage.

watching old videos of him, he's got a big bright redass...always chompin' and yellin' and jumpin' around. Just the kind of guy KW loves.

Just want to have on record: I don't want Lawrie so I reserve the right to complain about him later.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 8, 2015 -> 11:43 AM) Well, let's see...2016, 2017, 2018, 2019. OK. how many times will they all be healthy and still in prime form? nobody knows.

I say GO FOR IT too. How many times in life are you going to have Sale/Quintan/Rodon at the head of a rotation?
