Josh Bell please

No way should Rutherford be the main piece coming back.

Mateo stock is going down. Deal would have to include Torres and Frazier, which seems unlikely

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2016 -> 02:06 AM) He's not getting fired. They're competing almost every week with 3rd and 4th string players. Less about results and more just a feeling that ownership isn't pleased with him and Pace

Nice loss, Fox is so getting fired

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 17, 2016 -> 04:27 PM) Wasn't the weather getting bad already at that point? Nothing terrible.....Just amazing he could get three outs without Hearing the greatest speech ever made

Still don't know how Indians top of the order didn't crush him in the 9th

KLaw also raved about Carson Kelly and thought Sisco could be a solid starter at catcher

Fwiw KLaw mentioned in his chat today how awful the rumored Astros package would have been for Hahn. He also said he's not sure if that was the actual trade discussion.

Assuming this team can't compete, I will absolutely root for core players performing well primarily each game. If they end up losing that game, that's fine. If on a given night Rodon dominates for 7 innings, only to have Petricka blow it in a game that Anderson gets 3 hits.....well that's a good night. It's going to be a long two years for people on here if you let losses upset you.

Wonder what college team gets Hoiberg next year? Iowa St should bring him back

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 03:06 AM) http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-white-so...rks-brian-kenny Highly recommend this Eaton podcast with Chuck Garfein. Adam is honest and funny. Makes a LaRoche snipe at front office and also discusses the Sale jersey stuff. But most of all was very appreciative of sox front office and people. Thanks for recommendation. Really great interview

QUOTE (thedoctor @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 02:01 AM) this thread needs a rumor badly. You mean my idea of keeping Q and trading Rodon for Happ and Jimenez?

Cesaro was incredible in that match. Owens and Jericho to win belts tonight?

Seen rumors today of Harbaugh to Rams. That was before this news

Benetti doing the Duke/UNLV game with Vitale. And yes, he's asking Vitale a million questions.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) For sure. But I think the Pirates might die laughing at that proposal, and I like Nate Jones as much as anyone. Matters if they think his defense will ever be good enough for the NL

Would you do Nate Jones for Josh Bell?

No way would Pirates offer that package. With that said, Josh Bell is someone I really want the Sox to target

Happy this trade didn't get completed.

Too early to create April 6 minor league game thread? Giolito to face Norfolk with Moncada batting 2nd. I already have a friend planning on going to first W-Salem road series of the year if Kopech starts.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 03:29 AM) We're kinda entering unchartered territory here, with basically no financial commitments, a young, cheap core and for the first time ever a kind of real soft cap, it makes sense that big dollars could be committed, where else are they going to spend the next two years? And who knows how important fielding a competitive team will be come new TV contract negotiations

Something I like is the Sox seemingly bought low on Giolito and Moncada due to them slumping for a month in the majors

They aren't trading Bregman. Setting yourself up to be disappointed

Worse things in the world than having tons of payroll room going into free agency class in two years
