QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 10:14 PM) Use Alexei to bring the OF in here. We can get a younger Reddick + for Alexei. I don't get you. You don't want Cespedes (not that I'm advocating him either) because of his low OBP career wise, yet you want Reddick because he's a couple years younger... and he has a lower career OBP than Cespedes does with over 200 more PA..

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 24, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) Cespedes is a Viciedo profile player: low obp, good arm, bad outfield coverage, good power. He's better than Viciedo, but he's a similar profile. Cespedes does not fit well with a low OBP ballclub like the Sox. He fits perfectly with Oakland, which is why they were hurt when they traded him (even though cespedes for Lester is a super value trade for Oak; Oak just needed the O more than they needed pitching at that point)

QUOTE (ptatc @ Nov 23, 2014 -> 07:39 PM) I'll take Anderson Rather easily too.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 22, 2014 -> 10:10 PM) I remember some recent embarrassing losses in Edmonton. Payback is a b**** I hope we put up 10+ on them from that Sam "Gretzky" Gagner led beat down. I do feel sorry for their fans though. That org is a joke.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 22, 2014 -> 04:41 PM) You shoulda seen the associations back in 2004 while I was drinking still. Ah... the ol' Katy days. R.I.P.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 21, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) Hmmm...not my favorite signing ever, but shouldn't hurt us. Exactly how I feel about it.

Bollig's reaction is even more funny.

http://nbc.rotoworld.com/headlines/mlb/451...-miguel-montero Supposedly Sox and Cubs among others in on him. David Kaplan just spoke of his "source" and reported it on his radio show too for both teams.

Hopefully this little tidbit doesn't get bucket into too much trouble. Soxtalk is a pretty popular site. Also hope it isn't too steep for better or worse. (More so just talk)

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Nov 20, 2014 -> 03:06 PM) Should have taken that bet from Feeky.... LOL . Felt bad for Feeky and wite. They were his biggest backers on this board and he just continued to suck.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 19, 2014 -> 10:52 AM) You win. Left patella fracture, out 3-4 months. Just brutal for his development.

Not a fan of giving any reliever three + years unless there name is Mariano. I'm sure he'll be awesome his first year with us with the move to the AL. We will see about the next two. I like it right now as a need, but not a fan of the contract.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 10:23 PM) Aw man, I think I just got punked! Yea I thought it was obvious. People must of forgotten how smart Kal is, despite only posting like once a month these days.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 08:49 PM) Btw, I think Butler is now officially the Bulls' best player. An often injured Derrick Rose and Noah pretty much playing on one leg? Uhhh... yea I'd say that's not too far fetched to say. (some would say Gasol, but they don't understand the game)

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 15, 2014 -> 10:44 AM) Velázquez is a hell of a talent. We'll be hearing his name in a few years. I'd bet money Williams turns out to be the better player down the road. And that's if either of them make it. Higher upside.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 14, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) We will know five years from now. We will know who turns out the better player. We already know who decided the prospect drafted to us.

I remember bucket saying at the draft that KW wanted Jackson and Hahn wanted Rodon. Obviously, we know who won that decision. I'm sure there are things Hahn defers to, but this is his call in the end I feel.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 13, 2014 -> 12:50 AM) If he played like he did 2 years ago fine, but the past two seasons haven't been pretty for him at the plate. He is still only 26 though. Right around the age range Hahn wants (although the cost controlled part isn't even though he's signed for 8 more years) He is fun to watch defensively. Last year was not the norm for him. There's very few people who I consider better than Alexei defensively, but Andrus is one of them, minus last year. Now with all that said, if his power couldn't develop in a hitters paradise like the ballpark in Arlington, then he is what he is since age is all he's got left in that department. I'm meh all in all. I loved him as a prospect back in the day though.

First sox player to win it since... wait for it... Ozzie Guillen. (1985)

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) I think he's a first ballot hall of famer. I don't think there's any doubt. I wonder if the sox are in on Maeda, if they would look into Ichiro to help ease the transition to N.A. (maybe put him in the Konerko role) That would be the only way I'd take Ichiro, otherwise no.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 05:46 PM) Rose is in tonite. For now. Possibly. Maybe. He's playing against Brandon Jennings. He ain't missing that match-up.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 10, 2014 -> 02:33 PM) Nobody knows where he is. He'll pop up somewhere.

Who I want? Scherzer, Tomas, Maeda and Miller/Robertson. Realistically, I expect maybe Robertson and another arm, plus a hitter. Surprised the Cuban Fernandez isn't on this list. I'd seriously look into him too if Hahn and the org doesn't believe in Johnson/Sanchez.

Trestman leaves his starters in on a blowout and of course our best receiver gets injured.
