QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 06:30 PM) Question for the board. What if Houston caved in and said they would trade Bregman but the trade would be Bregman for Q straight up. Would ya do it? I would. There will be people who feel we didn't get enough back...but if you get a return of 3 prospects...and 2 of them turn out to be crap...what's the point?!? Q definitely has great value...but what good does that do the Sox right now? If you get an almost sure thing (IMO) in Bregman...and you'll have him under control...seems to me having him playing 140+ games over 35 starts equates to better value IMO. I'd do it...but if it would make people feel better have Houston throw in a B prospect for cosmetic purposes. But overall I'll take the almost sure thing in Bregman instead of 2 or 3 "what ifs"...

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:24 PM) Seriously, what the hell is happening here? SS2k5 acting like he just suffered a traumatic brain injury and you just showing your rear as you have no idea what you are talking about. This is a joyous day for White Sox fans. If you don't see it, re-evaluate your fandom. My point was you have deals like Dansby Swanson, Inciarte and Blair for Shelby effing Miller!...how in the hell did that even happen?!??!?! How the hell was Swanson in that deal. DBag fans out here are still livid. So regardless of if they're more or less coveted...you have a ridiculous deal like this happen! I agree prospects are coveted...but who's running the show changes the dynamics. My fandom is fine...thanks for caring tho!

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 07:16 PM) The value of a closer is higher than ever thanks to the Royals winning in 2015. That's not evidence that prospects are worth less now. The fact is, you can't get a number of teams' prospects anymore. There are so many off limits players in every org now. Snap out of it, dude. DBag fans would love to believe that...Dansby says 'hi'

This is the most excitement I've felt for this team in quite a while. How on earth could you not love the players the Sox got the last few days?!? I get the Sale love...but didn't win with him. I get the Eaton love...loved his grit...but good Lord...that's a great return! Moncada Kopech Basabe Diaz Giolito Lopez Dunning If Hahn somehow squeezes Bregman from the Stros I'll pledge my eternal love!!!

Not to mention Alec Hansen...and Burdi...the Sox are amassing some serious power arms.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 28, 2016 -> 06:13 PM) Bulls***. They'll get it done or get an extension. Winter meetings are going to happen. Agreed. Plus...what does the CBA have to do with a bunch of owners and GMs gathering in some warm weather location to talk shop and tip a few back? Makes zero sense....

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Nov 17, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Although it probably wasn't going to happen, that means Gary Sanchez is off the table for NY in any trades. that time to move on Sanchez was a couple years ago...when he easily could have been had in a deal IMO.

Regardless...if I hear that f***ing "Go Cubs Go" song one more time this week...I'm snapping like a dry twig. Geezus...ENOUGH!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Nov 3, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) KW is a major albatross. We must hire better managers and coaches and scouts and must acquire some GOOD players in free agency, not these stiffs he's been bringing in. Kenny got one WS. Now let him go to the Oakland Raiders or whereever he wants. yeah...the fact that Chicago as well as the rest of the country just witnessed what Theo accomplished...what he said he'd do is what stings Sox fans. He completely tore down a team and had a model/vision...pretty much what most around here have been clamoring for...for how many years now? I'm hoping yesterday was a huge kick in the sac to JR and the entire front office. Doubt it...but hoping.

Things like this seem so unreal. Devastating is the only word to describe it...such a ridiculously sad day for Miami...the Cuban community there and all of baseball. And to hear he and his girlfriend just found out they were expecting a baby...doubly sad. One of the game's shining lights taken away way too early.

GACK!...Terry Bevington was the worst! At least RV is likeable and a respected former player.

if you want a "campground" campground off the top of my head the closest is out at White Tanks Regional Park. Gorgeous area too with some really nice trails to hike if you're into that. Highly suggest the Ford Canyon trail...

they really should trade Quintana and consider it a "mercy killing"....good god the dude is the best...unluckiest...least supported pitcher I've ever seen.

My sincerest condolences K. It's never easy losing a loved one and all you can do is hold all that love in your heart you have and cherish the memories. He'll always be with you. Hang in there dude....

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 28, 2016 -> 12:08 PM) They waited way too long to dump both guys. It's all timing. They could have gotten something for both of them months ago. I don't get people's desire to "dump" Melky? Dump one of the most consistent hitters on your team?...mkay. If they didn't trade him at deadline they sure as hell wont trade him now...same with Robertson. I don't have a problem trading Robertson at all...in the off season...but IMO it seems ridiculous to trade one of the better hitters on your team right now for basically nothing. But then again...this is the Sox.

doubtful...as the "all in" approach will continue next year also. Plus...you won't get the return you'd need for either guy.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 27, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) Wow. This thread is horrible. Let's get back on track and let the petty stuff go. Navarro sucked(sucks) and is no longer on the roster. That's a plus by itself. The return, that we shouldn't have even expected, throws with his left hand and has some decent numbers. No one's claiming he's Sandy Koufax but he's more interesting than a 28 year old org player. I'll call it a win for the Sox. this...and thank you for being the voice of reality raBBit...

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 24, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) Guess Jerry couldn't get a deal done with Vagisil. hahahaaaaaa....WINNER!!!! And not even close....

and they didn't get a bag of balls for Shields when he was pitching well before deadline why?!? Reason #167 this front office sucks ass....

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 09:47 PM) They've been trying that. yeah...but it seems that Eaton really didn't get to the peak of his value than this year. Nobody really knew who was gonna show up. This version of Adam Eaton is an All-Star and he just seems to get better and better. And like a broken record...unless you get an obscene haul for Sale or Q...you don't trade them. Trading Eaton at any time is a ridiculous thought...

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) Some type of effort by the hitters. What a joke somebody explain to me just how in the f*** Todd Steverson has a job?!?!?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 10, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) Two out double by Gordon. Extra innings or will KC put us away here as expected. Q excelled; bullpen blows. run support blows more...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 10:39 PM) Just like Davidson, hurt the first game. That's bad luck right there. right?!?...forgot about that.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 10:32 PM) Lol it's like the question I heard a few months ago. Would you rather win a title and suck for the next 15 years or be good for 15 years but not win a title? ask Virginia McCaskey....

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Aug 2, 2016 -> 08:49 PM) pulled hammy trying to chase down a fly ball. looked worse than that though. wouldn't be surprised of he tore something. lol...geezus cripes...seriously?!?!?!? I didn't watch the game...but the dude is hurt the very first game?!? Good god....I'm honestly getting the feeling that Kenny or something made a deal with the Devil back in 05. You can't make this s*** up anymore.....
