He said this: AdamSpankyEaton: What does it always have to be about black and white...? #American

QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:04 AM) So Groce stays? As someone that saw their favorite program suffer for six years cause they didn't fire Hewitt after he landed Favors....you should never let recruits impact your decision.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 03:04 AM) for this discussion only, who do you think will be fired for lack of a better word??? RV - i think last yr he should have been fired, this yr, i have to wait and see how he handles the team Hahn - i think he has done a great job, given with what i imagine the limitation that he was given. some of the owners - maybe one of their sons or daughter can step in and take over as CEO. unless they do a total rebuild and sell off the players. i really like to get your opinion, to see if i am missing something. Hahn has yet to field a winning team...this version has to prove he can field a competitor. He hasn't done anything special with the farm system either. He's a great negotiator but has struggled with major league talent evaluation so far.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:46 AM) If Illinois loses to Minnesota at home with 4 of their top 7 scorers out, no way Groce survives. Groce stating Thorne could possibly get a redshirt for this season seems ludicrous. Absolutely no way should he be granted one.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:42 AM) I really don't see how the Sox aren't bringing in someone who can atleast backup in CF now that Eaton isn't playing in the field until the season starts Yep, shame on them if they think Shuck can be the replacement out there. Also a little perplexed at lack of platoon partner for LaRoche. Just hope Hahn has a plan cause the current projected roster makes no sense.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 29, 2016 -> 02:12 AM) Where does the buck stop when evaluating the continued lack of results of this team? If they fail again this year, there better be massive changes in this organization.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 11:59 PM) Merkin doesn't think Jackson is in the plans. I believe Hayes has been saying that for a while.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) unless it is per the owners. He knew the budget going into the offseason. Simply no excuses to not finish the job this offseason. Thankfully I'm confident Gregor is wrong and there's one more move left.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 05:12 PM) Not that it really means anything, but Scott Gregor believes our roster is pretty much set. Would be simply inexcusable to have no backup CF and platoon partner for LaRoche. Hahn should absolutely be on the hot seat if that happens.

FWIW, Shuck played 83 innings in CF and was simply awful. He's not a realistic CF backup

1 year for 8 mil.....ugh! Would have been a great deal for the Sox a week ago.

QUOTE (staxx @ Feb 27, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) They more than likely have known this for a long period time. Throwing programs are very detailed and have set time periods for the entire duration. I'm not worried at all. Eaton even said he might DH some at start of the season. Hahn really needs someone that can play CF

OMG, what a stud

Curry is just incredible.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 02:27 AM) Ah, to have good team problems again. Cubs: "What if our franchise player gets bored?" White Sox: "Which has been or never will be is going to play second base?" You mean the same Brett Lawrie that looked like a can't miss superstar after his first season in the majors? He had a better first season than Schwarber and Russell.

Go get Austin Jackson! Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 18m18 minutes ago Scottsdale, AZ Neither Eaton nor White Sox are worried about him being ready for the start of the season. Told the worry level is very low--just cautious Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 18m18 minutes ago Scottsdale, AZ Adam Eaton won't be in CF at the start of Cactus League play, as his throwing program continues. Could DH.

Sox can't catch a break...really hope Hahn has a specific target in mind and isn't letting other suitors get back in on Jackson.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 07:45 PM) @CST_soxvan Chris Sale's first Cactus Lge start won't be till March 19, Don Cooper said. Showed last spring doesn't need 6 spring starts. What the deuce? He had a 5.32 ERA in April last year. Are they that worried about his arm? That high ERA was due to them trying to have him throw fewer sliders

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 06:56 PM) Come on Orioles! Sign Alvarez to DH moving Trumbo to RF! or trade for Bruce

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) Always still the Angels and Brewers as well Brewers said yesterday that they have 9 guys they're trying out there. Also, I can't see them giving Jackson more than what the Angels offered.

Rangers sign Stubbs to minor-league deal. Seems like Jackson has run out of options besides the Sox and Orioles.

Bernstein sums it up perfectly http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2016/02/26/dex...hlan-bernstein/

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 05:30 PM) Have to imagine at this point Sox aren't going to be bringing anyone free agent wise for OF. Seemed if they were bringing anyone in it would be trade as its been mentioned before. Why don't you think Austin Jackson is an option? Boras might have been waiting to see where Fowler goes to make Jackson the last significant option for teams.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) I honestly don't really see how Sanchez has a spot on the roster. Rollins at SS. Saladino as the utility guy. 4 man bench doesn't really leave a spot for Sanchez. Yep, he really should be trade bait. Not many options for him to break into the infield rotation the next 2 years.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 05:09 PM) Not sure if serious. Always a chance of crazy injuries, etc.
