QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 01:03 AM) That isn't necessarily true. yeah, someone can look it that way, but i bet Hou will still try spin doctoring it.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 12:50 AM) That's kind of the point. Now they need to *not* go out and wind up doing 2013. crap, i am serious in this, i never really thought of that, never, since spring training started. i am kinda of stunned.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 11:26 PM) If you are the White Sox, do you take your chances and draft Aiken in the first after agreeing to a well below slot signing and than from there have cushion to be a little extra aggressive in the later rounds (nabbing some guys who fell). I guess the question is how much less would Aiken take and what are the Sox view of his recovery / med's and overall upside. If we were picking later in the 1st round, I'd say it was an easier decision. I also am not sure if fact we don't have 2nd / 3rd round picks makes situation better or worse. as i hated to think of something like this, so fast after Aiken's injury, but life goes on. the wild card in you post is no pick in the 2 and 3rd. do the sox goes for who and what is the priority. my question before any others is, i think maybe someone with medical can add, wasn't there something about having a thinner than normal ligament in his elbow? can that be fix? so those are my main question before i start to think about drafting him. i like to see the mock draft and see how far he falls and who moves up.

QUOTE (tpezz27 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 11:08 PM) Tommy John for Brady Aiken. http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/457...my-john-surgery oh crap, i hate the idea of Hou saying something like "we told you so".

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 27, 2015 -> 12:04 AM) I had to laugh yesterday while watching he Royals and Sox game on MLBnetwork. The Royals announcers were downplaying the fact that Rodon had k'd 9 of 12 in four innings and said they were probably just wanting to get a look at Rodon's stuff to prepare for the regular season when they faced him and weren't really interested in swinging. It's just a spring training game after all really, what a bunch of freaking idiot.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 11:07 PM) Don't know him personally but it looks like he learned pitching mechanics and abnormal tissue forces from the same people that I did! ahhh huh???

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 10:17 PM) Next three years of Sale-Q-Rodon, with the possible addition of Shark is going to make things so much easier to work with for this front office. Very good spot to be in. and with Adam's coming in somewhere in the 3 yr.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 10:59 PM) Jumped from 2.34 million to 2.957 in 2006. 27% increase, roughly....let's just say 1/4 or 25% because a second World Series title in 2015 wouldn't provide the same net bump the first one did a decade ago. nice work, but i would like to disagree, only b/c look at the season tickets being sold last yr and all the new season ticket this yr, let alone more fans buying tickets. the other thing i would like to mention, and i know this sounds or may sound lame, stupid, but if this team, with the addition of the new players, the team may actually have that special something that fan want to go and see them.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:50 PM) Other point: White Sox made $31 million last year. 2015 opening day payroll is listed as $21 million above 2014 opening day payroll. If the White Sox want to keep Samardzija next year without moving salaries, they'll need to have revenues improve by $10 million or more without new TV money appearing. Jeff wants what the going market is going to be for him, and ok, fine. but with the money example, nice work. the only thing i would like to add is, this yr, sox make the playoff and further, for a visual reference, i will look at the sox history of 2005 and 06 for an idea of fans and increase revenue.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:36 PM) Brad Penny is awful. Even when he was doing ok in his starts, he looked to have very little on his pitches. I think I'd rather take a chance with Carroll. bravo, i agree.

QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:42 PM) It gives them content fill pages. If the Sox said they were bringing him up there would be a ton of articles saying how the Sox need to keep him down to get him some more experience and preserve a year of service time. They just need to be oppositional to get people to read. very nice logic....i like it.

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Even simpler I believe the university's process was legally fine. I also believe that process may have resulted in a decision that violates the student's rights. Just like some same sex marriage laws were passed in a legally acceptable way but the outcome were later ruled unconstitutional. No one says the process was bad, just the result. Because we sometimes write unconstitutional laws we don't demand to change the way we write laws. how can that be accepted, you are making a contradiction. it is legally fine and yet violates student rights??? get real

QUOTE (Tex @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 07:38 PM) You don't really understand my question. What is the process for a student to be expelled? You keep saying they have rights. I agree. Their current right is now a civil matter with the court system. Students get expelled for grades, there is a process that is followed. Students get expelled for other actions on campus, a process is followed. What right do you believe the students have in this case before being expelled? Each university establishes the process for their school to expel students. Arbitrary? I assume then that you know the process that is established at that university, could you please let us know what it is? Depending on the infraction at my university the matter is referred to either a faculty committee, Dean of the College (if appropriate), Academic Dean, or in extraordinary circumstances, to the University President. Having the issue decided by the president doesn't violate any of their rights. His decision may have been wrong, even illegal, but again, the process the university used did not. Do you believe there is some other process that every public university student is legally entitled to and what is that? Do they have to assemble six tenured faculty members? Call a special meeting of the board? Bring in a federal judge before expelling anyone? The due process that is now available to the students is a civil matter where they may sue the school for readmission. But any court action happens after, not before the expulsion. The process at a university to expel someone doesn't need to include a trail. Now if you want to change the discussion to did the school violated the student's rights and unfairly expelled them, I believe the kids have a better than average chance to win. But the process at the school is fine. Someone has to make the decision at the school. If the decision made violates a student's rights, then the student has a legal avenue. But I don't see anywhere in the decision making process violated any of the students rights. Laws get established that are later overturned on constitutional grounds, courts make decisions that are later over turned. The law or action being judged may violate someone's rights, but the process to pass the law or the prior court case isn't the process. And the process the university used does not as well. nice attempts to double talk. you are all over this with many types of points. look at some of your earlier post. all i have been saying is due process due diligence. the act of expelling a student is the school rights for academic reasoning or suspension. however for this kind of action, not only to the students but also for closing the frat house down, i bet there are a process that needed to be follow with a time of an appeals process. no one need to see that procedurally there were some mistakes and that is what i have been saying. again, i am talking and have been talking about rights, the students rights. now go and look at some of what you spewed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:04 PM) This sounds like b.s. https://www.fanduel.com/insider/2015/03/26/...have-in-common/ so does the doctor give Sale a carrot and then start the treatment??

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:26 PM) Why is the media so invested in having Rodon up right away? good question, ummm could it be the underdog thingy, or fast ascendance of a media project superstar. i would like to hear other opinions.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Yes Mr Caulfield please do. It will be a long season with you hating on Beckam all year. I am surprised you haven't blamed Gordon Beckam for the arm soreness of Robertson & Petrika and Johnson's physical issue. Show some support oh this is about hating on him, then i am in. as a person, i sure he is a great person, as a sox player, well, i am suspecting he is the illegitimate child of Sadam.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 07:42 PM) Guessing Guerra and Albers. With one of Carroll or Penny taking the temporary Sale slot and then going down to Charlotte. i will go with Carroll..... and Guerra, but i wish it will be Webb.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 07:37 PM) You have an infatuation with Gordon Beckham. Get some help. Beckhamtalk.com maybe it is me, but that is funny. oh man i love it. get some help. lol

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 08:22 AM) Which definitely will happen in that 2018-2019 time frame as the Cubs branch off with their own RSN. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=12557231&...egoryid=2521705 Is Forbes overvaluing MLB teams? yea, between now and then, the sox really need to do a lot in order to win over some of those fans that are fair weather fans. when they get their own media outlet, with their fans support, they will do extremely well. as much as i hate to admit it, and believe me, it PAINS me to say this.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 04:24 AM) Gutierrez isn't eleigible till 2016 i thought he was for july 2 and planing for 2016. my bad.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 02:21 PM) Agree. If Thompson is doing decent and there is an injury, he will be up. for the role of backup, i am very surprise at his performance this spring. whereas, i had little faith in a viable outfield backup, now, i have faith that the sox may have a nice backup.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 02:24 PM) How many teams have better OF depth than Bonifacio and Shuck? another question with a different look, how many teams, up to this spring, have a stock farm or minor league. a surplus where they can support the major team. Bonifacio is more of an all position super sub.

late april or early may, do the white sox go with the extra pitcher and leave the spot on the roster blank? can that be done?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 03:58 AM) That was funny, I like the look on Jo's face when he caught it i don't know if i ever saw anything as funny as that. honest.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Mar 26, 2015 -> 02:50 AM) perfect ending https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/ABCAFC5FD6...onQGbxZD7dJDHOo oh man, that is soooo funny.
