Modelos alone makes this one of the best moves the sox have made other than rebuilding.

Keeping Q? Trading 21 year old future closers? Bizarro thread.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) That's a really good idea. He didn't have a great season last year but he's only 21 and I'm sure his speed would play quite well in CF. Reminds me of what people use to say about Ruddy Yan (my old FutureSox heads might remember who that is)

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 09:21 AM) @diannaESPN The New England Patriots are considering trading Malcolm Butler to the New Orleans Saints for Brandin Cooks per sources Patriots are good at this. God I hate how well run that franchise is.

I still don't understand why Pace doesn't overpay for a position we need to address more (secondary) and just roll the dice on a rookie QB. I would think Adams/Hooker/etc. have to be considered now.

QUOTE (shipps @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 08:40 AM) And its Free Agency! Everyone overpays in FA. How does Pace not understand that? Must be living off his successful offseason last year in deals. Problem is, Bears had better record prior. Free Agents probably aren't jumping up and down on going to a 3-13 team unless you drastically overpay for them.

Although I also believe they could've gotten Groome over say Diaz, the fact that the Eaton deal probably never materializes right after seals it for me. I highly doubt they'd get those guys if Eaton was dealt first before Sale. I have 0 issues with the Sale return. I really like Basabe as a prospect. Add in the other 2 with a wildcard in Diaz? Holy s***.

Brandon Marshall is a Giant. 2 yrs, 12 million.

Teravainen once said all woman in Chicago are horny. Just a different culture out there. It's a non issue.

It was mostly tongue in cheek.

Looks like my little rant yesterday paid off. Nicely done guys.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 5, 2017 -> 05:38 PM) He looked solid not blowing it by guys but worked ahead and not too much hard contact against a decent spring lineup for the diamond backs. Delmonico put s charge into one in the 9th, hit off the top of the wall in center for a triple. Thanks for the updates bro.

QUOTE (Nokona @ Mar 5, 2017 -> 05:26 PM) Hard to have a real gamethread when there's no way to watch the games Even when they were televised or on the Sox website there hasn't been many action.

The GTs so far this spring have been very disappointing. Not enough dialogue.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Mar 4, 2017 -> 01:10 AM) I'm in Nashville for the game tomorrow. Assuming Glass makes his debut. I'd be shocked, especially since the Hawks have 4 days off after tonight's game.

Jets just released Brandon Marshall...

Soloman Thomas on the other hand has been getting alot of helium. Kid looks like a potential stud.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 09:53 AM) Zero chance the Red Sox move Benintendi (would you?), even if Price is out for the season I was obviously joking, hense the laugh emoji.

Not greedy Red Sox. We'll take Benintendi please.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 09:26 PM) I've seen enough. Nick Schmultz is absolutely the real deal. He's going to be a very good one. Kid is fun to watch. He and Hartman have really been outstanding. Panik is as hot as Kane right now. Hopefully he isn't pricing himself out with his play. Hopefully Stan gets Shalunov in the mix soon as well. Wanna keep that 1st line intact with Schmaltz-Toews-Panik and Hossa to finally have a center with some skill to play with on that 3rd line.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 1, 2017 -> 07:24 PM) I get the feeling he might just not be as good as he was supposed to be and Hawks and Canes both realized it. He can be. His potential is ridiculous. He just has absolutely 0 work ethic or motivation.

Adam Schefter is reporting the Patriots are now not trading Jimmy Garoppolo.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NHLBlackhawks/st...607705989197824 Rozi and Tootoo sign one year extensions. This is likely to help with the expansion draft process, although I find us not getting rid of Rozi extremely funny.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 28, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) In real terms, we probably haven't had a guy this highly thought of since either Frank Thomas or Robin Ventura. Beckham was pretty highly thought of on this board. I remember Harold Reynolds list of young players, calling him a future hall of famer as well.
