QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 09:40 PM) This return would be way too light IMO. You have your hopes set way too high

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 09:23 PM) Parkins really doesn't play off Spiegel well, and that is a shame. When they were talking about music and Parkins was completely lost, I thought this does not bode well Spiegel admitted today he wanted Rosner to be co-host

QUOTE (Fantl916 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 10:14 PM) Assuming there's no way Texas trades Odor, or perhaps Mazara, is there's a path to complete this without them? I'm pondering if something like Yeody Taveras, Yohender Mendez, Ronald Guzman and another piece would do it. seems really light to me Not nearly enough

Offman also tweeted trade isn't likely for now

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) All of this makes reaffirms my belief there's little chance he's with the Sox in two weeks. They're dropping more media bombs to force the issue and make the best possible deal before spring training. Either this is a legit situation or someone that is close with George and Nightengale wanted this rumor out there

Mazara, Profar and Mendez enough?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Not as a headliner for a few reasons, but I would take Profar as back of package filler in a heartbeat assuming the medical report is OK. I know he doesn't have a ton of control left, but he's a guy if healthy might live up to some of the previous hype and very flappable if not an extension candidate. Yep or you flip him now for someone from Tampa

Love Mazara as a key piece

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Jan 17, 2017 -> 03:08 PM) 5 minutes in, I don't hate Danny Parkins. Give it another try today and it was simply awful. I do love Goff and Bernstein though

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Jan 31, 2017 -> 11:29 PM) It's not like anyone is forced to read this thread. Just don't open it if you don't want to. It's that's simple. Or we come into a thread hoping to see updates from twitter, etc., only to see the 500th trade proposal asking for Cubs prospects or Meadows

Also I loved the Taker spot on Monday with the fake entrance, but should have been saved to make tonight more unique

I liked the Reigns inclusion. It's clearly the start of making him partially a bad guy to feud with Taker

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 04:46 AM) Let me add that the card up to the actual rumble match was great. The rumble match was absolute garbage to me and mania is setting up to be a dud with a healthy and awesome roster. Yep most of the proposed main matches are going to be awful at WM

Disappointing considering the talent roster. The two main title matches were awesome.

Is he saying Collins is a better hitter than he thought or Thaiss?

God knows I love Josh Bell, but no way should he be higher than Moncada. He's going to have to hit a ton to have a big WAR

So Hoiberg is just Robin Ventura, right?

Robertson got simply destroyed on his fastball last year. Rather he use his curve a lot more often

Will he rank Kopech if he thinks he's a reliever?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 01:50 AM) CF, true. Catcher? Avila gave that team 200 non-terrible at bats. Navarro's handling of the staff was rotten but those basically balance out. The catcher's spot could absolutely be substantially worse than last year. If I had to guess I'd guess it'll be about the same - replacement level with Soto and Narvaez taking up most of the time, it could be slightly better, it could be substantially worse. Wasn't the combo easily the worst at framing?

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:10 AM) Who's his guy? Didn't mention in his chat

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 26, 2017 -> 02:45 AM) Out of the guys who had down seasons last year, it's probably true that 1-2 of them should be expected to have solid seasons worthy enough to earn something in a trade. If we hold all of them, we also better be ready for 2-3 of them to have worse seasons and just eat the money spent on them. As long as we're ok with that as a franchise, then holding 5 guys and hoping 1-2 of them develop some value is a fair strategy. Miguel Gonzalez is my pick to implode

Frazier has little value now. If he can rebound like his first half in 15, he can get someone decent or be in contention for a QO. Being a walk year, hopefully he has a big season.

It will be hard to get worse production in CF and catcher than last year

Some deep thoughts: - to me, Alexa Bliss is the female Ambrose. Can't wrestle in the ring at all - can't wait for Rumble, as excited as I've ever been for a ppv - my outside the box winner is Styles - really hope Lesnar and Goldberg don't win
