QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 21, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) Grayson Allen trips another player and throws a hissy fit on the bench. In other news, water is wet. Dude needs to be suspended. Jay Williams and Seth Greenberg absolutely grilled him at halftime of the UK/UL game Watching ESPN absolutely shred a Duke player like that (and coach K a bit too), never seen anything like it.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 17, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) So Minnesota's team Even if you believe the sex was consensual, there is still so much wrong with the situation, I'm not sure why anyone would choose that battle. The called off the boycott immediatly after the report was released. Meanwhile, Bob Stoops under extreme fire from big sports media for what went on there.

Gut the farm for a set up man and maybe a 4 starter and go for it.

Yeahhhh. Hoiberg's seat officially hot.

That Shield vs Bullet Club vs New Day tease was pretty awesome.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 14, 2016 -> 02:11 PM) I love how so many posters here act like the Cubs are the only team to properly execute a rebuild in the history of the game. Its comical. I've never lived in Chicago, so I didn't grow up caring much for the Cubs one way or the other, but the obsession some Sox fans seem to have with what the Cubs has done is quite obvious. Don't blame them. Blame the media. And also ignore the half a billion plus dollars they spent on free agents.

What a total meltdown by Wade.

Mick Foley as GM is one of the worst written characters ever in WWE. His counterpart DB is currently the WWE at its best on the otherhand.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) I know people like outside media: http://www.purplerow.com/2016/12/11/139088...icago-white-sox Pretty reasonable!! Amazing to me was fans main objections were to trading pitchers (not Rodgers) And who could blame them with their history and stadium, but package 3 I find entirely reasonable. Go Rockies trade. I think aside from maybe trade #3, we could get all those deals 2 years from now for Q.

QUOTE (SoxSteve @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 03:57 PM) Just trade Quintana to the Cubs for Ian Happ and Elroy Jiminez and maybe the Catcher Cantini or outfielder Donnie Dewees. Hi Theo!

Why do I know who Jackson Reetz is again?

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 09:38 AM) Or not So from the splashiness of Les Miles and Lane Kiffin to now the OC that their fanbase didn't like. Well, hope it works out for them.

Dinwiddie signed away from the Bulls to go up with Brooklyn. Damn.

Attendance can, and will get a lot lot worse for all the how bad can it get people in this thread. Same goes for tv. That is unless they make tickets significantly cheaper.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) I'm actually considering buying a partial season or full season ticket to show my support for the franchise. Next year will be ugly, but it'll be worth the pain. Our season ticket group dating back 40+ years is now gone. You can take our spot.

The patience won't last until April 1st, or until next week really. I think people confuse the small amount of people paying attention during the winter meetings to the general fanbase. It'll get ugly, and sooner than later.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 10:06 AM) That is another problem the Sox have. The Cubs got good right when their top guys hit the big leagues, except for the half a billion they spend on pitching. They have a lot of control. If this takes 4 or 5 years, if these guys are as good as advertised, they will have not so much control and will be hitting arb. It would be more like KC, where then you would have a 2 or 3 year window before you have to be prepare for a gigantic payroll or start over. It will be interesting to see the team's ownership situation in 4 or 5 years. If you think about it, maybe JR will sell after next season. The payroll will be next to nothing with no long term commitments. Then you have the 2018 free agent class, and many new owners like to spend cash to get the ball rolling. Sign a star or two, get some good development, maybe they can be interesting in 2 years, but a lot more will have to go right than had to go right when they were piece mealing a run at a playoff berth. Selling after a 60 win season should scare every Sox fan a lot. Let's hope not.

Doesn't seem like a guy who can stick or a bullpen candidate. Odd pick

What twitter to follow pick by pick?

I like the rebuild but can I just say there will be no jubilation come April when they can't even sell out Opening Day? When we get into the thick of its it's going to get scary ugly. Those who pay close attention in the winter make a fanbase not.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Top Ten farm system. Almost has to be. I would think it's has to be higher than the #15 number thrown out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 04:24 PM) If this fails to the point where you are trading Rodon, you might as well contract this franchise. I already hate this. There is literally no reason to watch this team for years. Seriously though everyone should pray for Jerry's great health the next few years.

Bad bad trade

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 04:05 PM) My bad, could have sworn he was, but looking back at finalists from several years, no indeed. IIRC from the last time he was nominated, you can only be nominated every so many years.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) I dont see how its a steal. One year of an injury plagued closer isnt worth all that much IMO. Soler has played 211 games Avi has played 409. So its like trading garcia 2 years ago, or when we thought he had tremendous value. Chapman reportedly has an offer of 92 million dollars and Melancon just got 62 million. Wade Davis is every bit as good but yeah he needs a clean bill of health. This of course hurts us for Robertson
