QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:28 AM) Dang I wanted in on the Yankees raiding They could've picked Tyler Webb, but passed on him. Covey looks like an interesting bullpen option to me. Let the kid air out that sinking fastball from the pen.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) Hector Rondon was rendered useless by his injury too. Did they "overpay" for Chapman? Sure. Was Chapman a bit disappointing? Sure But they HAD to have another reliever and flags fly forever. Bingo. Well said.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:09 PM) They in spite of Chapman, methinks. Or at least, they paid for shutdown innings and they got blown saves and shakey successful ones. They don't make it that far without him bottom line. Unless you think Pedro Strop was the answer it was a clinching move for them.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 09:40 PM) I don't understand anyone's anger at the direction we are taking. We are finally doing something with a distinct plan. It was mostly one poster who I'm still hoping had his account hacked.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:04 PM) Yanks aren't going to spend that much money on a closer and set-up guy. No way. You dare doubt the evil empire?!?!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:00 PM) The Yankees are insane. Next, they'll be taking Robertson back again (well, they already tried that once, if not twice)... I mean Robertson was a pretty sweet SU guy for them when Mariano was around.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 10:36 PM) Wow, so the Yankees loaned Chapman to the Cubs for a couple months for Gleyber Torres, Billy McKinney, Rashad Crawford, and Adam Warren, and then got him right back. Mastery by Cashman. More like good deal for both teams since Cubs got a World Series ring out of it.

I actually like this deal more than the Sale trade. Very happy we got Lopez. Big fan of his. Giolito was an obvious get for Eaton but didn't think we'd get BOTH of them. Dunning is just icing on the cake.

A tad light, but absolutely love Moncada and Basabe looks damn good from what I've read.

I wonder if the Sawks offer that up for Quintana as well if the Sox prefer the Nats package.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) But at the same time, if you're the White Sox and you're trading Chris Sale, you just can't settle. Either you get your guy (Turner) or you hold on to Sale/trade him elsewhere. Someone will bite eventually. If they don't (unlikely), then we have a HOF-caliber pitcher on our team. Completely agree. That's why to me, Trea Turner needs to be in this deal. Guys like Chris Sale are not traded like this, especially at 27 with 4+ years of control left. But with our incompetent organization, we have to. This is a franchise changing/saving/etc. move. They absolutely cannot afford to mess this up. (Similar to the Bears draft this coming offseason)

Klay Thompson got 60 points and the 3rd quarter hasn't even ended yet.

Matt Forte needed one f***ing yard for me to get the win and the Jets bench him the rest of the way. Sigh.. well fell to 10-3 and 2nd place but my team doesn't look so dominant without Green and Gronk now. Wouldn't shock me if I got bounced 1st round in 2 weeks.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 10:06 PM) Sox love Hoffman. They certainly do. Definitely can see them asking for him as a starting point.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) I might be the only one, but Robles. Truly believe he's going to be a stud. Those tools, premium position. He could be the top prospect in baseball in short order. He definitely has the highest potential out of anyone on the list + Moncada for sure. And this is coming from someone who loves Trea Turner.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:13 AM) Turner, Benintendi, Bregman, Urias, and Swanson in that order for me. Flip flop Bregman and Benintendi and that's my order as well.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:58 AM) The posturing, and everyone buying it, is insane lately. Now, all of a sudden, Sale's mechanics will cause a UCL tear in the next year and he'll never pitch again?? Now every top-100 prospect is "untouchable"? That word is becoming so corrupted... I find that funny as well since Giolito has already had TJS. If anyone is a "risk" it's him.

If it is Washington, I hope we clean the f*** out of their cupboard. Haven't been a fan of their organization in quite sometime. Don't eveb wanna see Sale in that jersey, but this is still a business.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 08:11 AM) You have to be Sean Taylor for me to take a S that high though and I think Jamal Adams from LSU is better. I love Budda Baker personally. Dude is Earl Thomas lite. Would love to see the Bears nab him in round 2.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 10:04 PM) I don't think the HRs are legit, but the rest of his game appears to be. We're talking about a potential All-Star SS or CF and it could happen in the very near future. I would expect some regression/struggles next year, which is the only reason they may consider trading him, but personally I think his ceiling & floor are both too high to move. You guys see him more as a CF, SS or 2B? Defensive metrics heavily favors him at 2B although his athleticism plays better as a SS and can definitely be decent at CF too.

Hopefully Q and company realize Duncan Keith is f***ing useless on the PP. Damn near everyone realizes it but them. Nearly kills evety possession they have and uses the same drop pass to Kane that teams have figured out.

6 sacks in 10 games for the guy some people were quick to give up on. (Floyd)

f***! Cody Whitehair is down.
