So Lance Briggs apparently is battling CTE.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 01:24 PM) Smart me by Holland. Sign with a team that has a good pitching coach and training staff to get things back on track. If all goes well, he could find himself pitching for a contender in July. And get a big payday on his next contract.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 11:01 AM) I think he will make a career out of being a fringe starter and utility player. While that has value, we aren't talking about anything with REAL value. Completely agree. Hell, that's his ceiling. Nothing wrong with that though.

Cordarrelle Patterson to the Raiders.

QUOTE (striker @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 09:12 PM) I think the Rockies could beat any Yankees offer with Rodgers, Pint, Tapia. Which I'd take over Frazier, Rutherford, + So can the Braves (whose system I personally like the most), but its probably not happening.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) But it really doesn't matter anyway. Put a giraffe in center for all I care for the next few years. Adam Engel fan huh?

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 12, 2017 -> 11:05 PM) He tries to be too patient at the plate and ends up only getting a swing or two every at bat to put the ball in play. I'm hopeful it will improve but this spring has definitely shown his two main warts (k and fielding) Never thought I would hear that as a bad thing for a young prospect.

Sox on a hit parade right now.

Staal after the game was over yelled at the Hawks bench "We'll be seeing you guys again and whip your asses then."

Tilson back in a walking boot.

Bears sign Kendall Wright, WR. 1 year, 4 million.

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.
