QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) Could Nobuhiro Matsuda be an option at 3B? He's already 32 but has put up nice numbers in Japan. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2015/11/nobu...eda-timing.html Here's one of his homers: i am not decided on that, how old is laroche last yr??? maybe a 1 yr with options for 2yr. the sox needs to get some pieces via fa. they have to in order to compete esp for the media in chi. granted they will never over come the other team, but they can not fall too far behind.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) Honestly I never put any stock into the "three year plan" quote, people are reading way too much into that. i am with you, i always thought that 3-yr plan was a fluff and a statement for damage control. i remember there was a discussion on that when it was announced. it was all to convince the fans to buy tickets..... to make money for the owners.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Count me in the camp that wanted this to be Skyfall 2.0, which I consider to be one of the best Bond films ever. 30 years ago it was fine to do the over-the-top spy movie. But that's been played out. Adding some emotional weight to the character is a GOOD thing. Making him more human is a GOOD thing. Making him more of a cartoon character is not, and that's what this movie fell back to. making him more human is totally wrong from all the books of james bond, how ever i can see a need to change things up. i however didn't take this movie as him being more human, but more of him being more indifferent and trying to get laid more. which is in character of the book. the Blofeld character become a real personal issue with him, esp in the second part which i am sure it will follow. the whole bond and parents takes a twist, if they follow the book. i can't wait to see how they do it. either way, it is a great movie. remember, for those who disagree. when has a bond movie ever been a academy award movie????

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 02:38 PM) I'd almost rather rough through in than make the Johns mistake again. That time, Bowman had a gun to his head. well, you make and interesting point. for my disclaimer before i will post. i think everyone know my opinion on SB and my opinion on what happen after the and before the draft. well, i am not going to rehash. we the hawks fans are in the thick of it and i am saying this is what we, the fans can expect. what you see is what can be had. no nhl team is going to go out on a limb to help the blackhawks and SB. in order for SB to pull off a trade, he is going to really get creative and probably end up giving some draft picks. in other words, over pay. that is the cost of winning and winning 2 SC's.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:55 AM) The Hawks aren't gonna trade Teuvo for a defenseman. He has too much potential. exactly and that is the point, who no matter how good of a gm the hawks have, will find it difficult to find a trading partner. just keep developing those young prospects.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 08:04 AM) excellent, this is a multi time going to see it. it took the movie from the beginning and combine several of the older movies into this one with the major piece coming from as you said On Her Majesty Secret Service. which is my favorite and only b/c of Diana Rigg the actress. also as you mention and i will add more, it also has several other tidbits of other bonds older movie. as i said before, this movie really dives in with OHMSS movie, but the problem there, james bond real love also died there. i wonder if that is how the next movie starts off. i also liked the old 60's type of suits by Tom Ford. now the biggest and smartest that industry did was to give daniel craig points in the production. so it would be foolish for daniel craig not to do another bond when he is getting production cost. now for all the james bond fan, who is Wilfred "Biffy" Dunderdale second is more on his childhood and parents getting killed. btw, if you want to see a movie with the real Ian Flemming in it, see an old ww2 movie with cliffton webb in the spy who never was. fleming got some of his real life experience of creating false stories for the british to use to fool the nazi. true story on flemming role in ww2.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 07:20 AM) I've seen Spectre three times now. It is my favorite Bond movie of all time. From Casino Royale to Spectre, you have a complete story arc for the character. This is one of the best looking movies that I have seen in a while, maybe since Interstellar, which shouldn't be a shock because it was shot by the same cinematographer, Hoyte Van Hoytema. The set pieces were great, in particular the opening scene in Mexico which was made to look all like one continious shot and the car chase in Rome. And I am a sucker for large scale globetrotting movies. I think Spectre is getting mixed reviews for two main reasons, the first is that people wanted Skyfall 2.0, meaning the exact same movie and Spectre is the complete opposite, where Skyfall is Bond at his lowest point and a rather dark film, Spectre shows Bond at the top of his game and is a very light and enjoyable film and is very much a love story. My second reason is that Spectre is not a spy movie, it is an adventure film rather than a spy film, having seen the film thre times now, each time I was very much reminded of Raiders of the Lost Ark, a lot of the same beats are there. Dare I say that theyre the same movie... just kidding. My only real complaint is that it really underused Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser, but remember that Spectre was conceived as being the first part of a two part story that concludes in Bond 25 and Waltz is suppoused to play a much bigger role there. Another reason why I liked it so much is that it reminded me of On Her Majesty's Secret Service which has been until recently my favorite film in the series (its also the best book alongside Casino Royale in my opinion), I imagine that is where they are going to go in Bond 25, but the major scene in that story's climax has already been done in Casino Royale. Spectre also had the best kind of ending that a movie could have, it concluded the story of James Bond that began in Casino Royale but it leaves enough to the imagination that it can continue on in your head. excellent, this is a multi time going to see it. it took the movie from the beginning and combine several of the older movies into this one with the major piece coming from as you said On Her Majesty Secret Service. which is my favorite and only b/c of Diana Rigg the actress. also as you mention and i will add more, it also has several other tidbits of other bonds older movie. as i said before, this movie really dives in with OHMSS movie, but the problem there, james bond real love also died there. i wonder if that is how the next movie starts off. i also liked the old 60's type of suits by Tom Ford. now the biggest and smartest that industry did was to give daniel craig points in the production. so it would be foolish for daniel craig not to do another bond when he is getting production cost. now for all the james bond fan, who is Wilfred "Biffy" Dunderdale second is more on his childhood and parents getting killed.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 05:36 AM) Sox are going to need to trade pitching to get young cost controlled position players. It'll have to be Q, Rodon and that sort. Reds are shopping Brandon Phillips and Alrodis Chapman. i really truly hope that the sox will not have to trade any of the sp, except maybe Danks, but that won't happen. i still maintain that get freese and an price from the fa pool and the sox can deal some of their young surplus and if needed in the right deal, robertson. now trading the surplus, this is for young players in the minors who may be a yr or 2 away .

the off season has always been a time for hope and wish full thinking. and now the offseason has started and i am really hoping that the sox does great. i hate playing second fiddle to that other team from chicago. i really wonder how much money they will have for salary and fa's.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:54 AM) Or our cost controlled pitching for some of their young cost controlled hitting. WE can develop pitching. You get a premium price when you deal pitching that is already developed. Sox aren't in the position to deal prospects; that's not how teams are built. It's what the Sox have done for years, and it has failed repeatedly. It made some sense prior to 2005 as the Sox had a much stronger farm then. Just build the organization. Try to move the dead veterans out and play more young players (sadly most of the nonproductive veterans were acquired last year). Still too many holes to contend in 2016. Ozuna had a terrible year last year; might get him at a discount. the sox have an abundance of pitcher that may be ready in a 2 yrs .... the sox could only start 5 sp and what ever for rp and cl. so the idea is to trade the surplus ..... help build up the system. that is what i think most are looking at.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:13 AM) I'm with you on that. What is most likely going to be a first round pick is a huge deal for the org. if you can, i can see how last season was a wash of wishful hoping. but also take a look at it this way. i still think, and i am with blacksox on this, us 2 were for the most part against this trade. how do i know, we were talking about it before and after the trade was done. good intentions that never fulfilled it self. as i said, the comp pick will determine on how good of decision it was. however that indecision at the trade deadline is what is the sticking point for me. no one will tell me if Shark was really available and early in the deadline, the sox may have been able to acquire players that are a. in the major league and b. multi players. http://www.sbnation.com/2015/7/25/9039857/...rumors-deadline now saying the comp pick is golden, the key there is with luck, that player who is a comp will make it to the majors but at what time line. the players that would have come in the deadline would be ready now.... btw, Semien a nice looking 3b for the sox. QUOTE (Baron @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:59 AM) None of the moves were ridiculous. They just didnt work. if anything, your comment is the most correct.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 04:16 AM) It's neither of these things. The QO pick was a possibility after the trade happened but ultimately, it was decided that the QO pick would be more valuable than trading Samarzija in July. so you don't think that there was some strained talks between Hahn and KW to get the owners to decide which way to go??? without having ears in that FO, no one is right in their [belief or is it believe] of what was finally decided on.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:39 AM) Other clubs say #Marlins are floating Marcell Ozuna's name but only want to deal him for a No. 2-type starter. Tough sell after last year https://twitter.com/jaysonst/status/663842494350774272 so they decided, last week i think of the mlb trade rumors or maybe it was yesterday, they were trying to decide on which player to put on the market. ither ozune or ss-hechavarria, they were saying they would only take a kings ransom for a trade.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:20 AM) I'd already prefer that than trading him to the Cubs. I really like Stephen Piscotty and Carlos Martinez. All I know is that it would suck so much to see the Sox trade Q to the North Side just to see him take the Cubs to the next level. It'd be such a slap in the face. i like the way you think.... really diabolical.

QUOTE (woods of ypres @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 03:26 AM) This is the correct route to take, that goes without saying. But, besides the core, who could we trade that actually has value? overall i just don't know. the sox does need 2 pieces that the fa rt is the way to go, 3b and sp. with the foundation already there, they need several pieces to take them to the next level and compete for a playoff. again, assuming they don't come of the gate stumbling, as they did last yr. then yes, trade and start replenishing the upper levels of prospects, while doubling up on different positions that will be needed and creating competitions.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:46 AM) So anyone think sox will make a trade or do something during the gm meetings yes. but whom and what position.... i really don't know.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:39 AM) You missed the most important part of the deal for us which is the 1st round pick. no offense, but that was the consolation prize. edit.... i think i would have love a trip to the playoff and the first rounder.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:45 AM) The garbage we gave up is marginally more valuable than garbage we received. The Sox did not get fleeced. Samardzija just didn't show up this season. None of the players the Sox gave up are going to amount to anything, except perhaps Semien as a league average player. you may be right in the long run, however when the sox needed the sp who could win, Shark was sleeping, thinking of the money he will make.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:27 AM) Not to be a smart ass but seriously, look up the numbers yourself. In short, Phegley posted better numbers than Flowers. Bassitt posted better numbers than Samardzija. Ravelo is 23, healthy and going into his first full season at AAA and he has high AVE/OBP potential. Considering the Sox have a lack of hitting in the farm, I wouldn't mind a young player with that potential, even if that player doesn't deveop power. Semien, Meh, I can live without Semien but imo and I said it at the time of the trade, Bassitt and Ravelo were the players I didn't like parting with. Then there's the fact that all four of the players the Sox sent to Oakland are under control for years to come and the Sox are left with Ynoa and the memory of one s***ty ass 2015 season from Samardzija. The Sox got fleeced so bad, Oakland should be brought up on charges and the Sox FO sent for psychiatric evaluation for being so stupid. It was like Steven Hawking making a trade with Forrest Gump. 100 % original thought and extremely funny.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:36 AM) Sadly this is the only thing being talked about for the sox. No other news b/c the sox have the best fan sponsor site and they, the media wants to create a stir.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 01:15 AM) It's just stupid to even be thinking about it since Quintana will not be traded to the Cubs. I'm 100% sure of it. damn, i the sox can get a good pkg including just prospects, i will trade Q to the Cards, just to make sure they screw the sCrubs up in the playoff.

i am going to go back l little longer than 10 yrs. i am going to go back to 2001 i think when Jason went to another sport site and told us of this one. .... then great things happen.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 12:00 AM) It's spreading like wild fire now http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/10...osstown-trading this is me and my skewed way of looking at this. but this is like the sox are begging for table scraps from the northsiders system. b/c of the success of the norhtside.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 10, 2015 -> 12:46 AM) Bickell might be easier to trade next season with only one year left on his deal and if the Hawks eat some of his salary. If they can trade Daley, I certainly would because TVR has really played well this season and has worked himself into a top 4 shutdown dman like Hammer. Gustaffsson also looks like a great find. Responsible in his own zone and has natural instincts on offense. Keith-Seabrook Hammer-TVR Gustaffsson-Svedberg Rozival Pairings would probably be different, but you guys get the gist. Not a bad defensive unit. Pokka is probably a year away as well. So he can factor into the equation. you are really thinking on the big picture..... i like it and i agree with some. Bickell, there is really no hope. it was a bad contract and might as well look at buying him out. there was a slim chance but the trade at the time went no where. the youngins have really impressed me, really. but in Q's system, he wants experience dman, but Daley is not defensive responsible. but who knows. as i said many times ..... no team will go out of there way to help the hawks.
