Right, we don't know where each of these are going.

Okay, you have to include Glasnow, so pick the other 3: Mitch Keller, Blake Rutherford, Kevin Newman, Miguel Andujar & Elias Diaz. That's the easy version. Alternative Version: Pick 1: Keller, Rutherford, Newman Rest is Glasnow, Andjuhar, Diaz

We should play a game of pick 4.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) Seems like an awful lot for Sox to be getting back. Can't see Glasnow and Keller being involved It said combo. Probably a series of pick 2 of x, pick 2 of x type stuff.

Wow, that seems complex as hell. And to me makes no sense for Yankees but to get Rutherford would be dope. Edit: Also congrats rabbit on getting that info.

I'm never forgiving Dave Cameron for writing that terrible Astros article.

Even if we get back Bell, that's a pretty good bat. But our future gets much more festive if we actually see our development team bring along Alex Call and Jameson Fisher into top 150 prospects. Guys without the loud tools that we need to start developing to take next step.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) Masset went on to be pretty decent with the Reds, didn't he? Yes and Aardsma had better years after. Williams had right idea we just did not get anything out of that group. Jenks/Thornton/Aardsma/Masset should have been lights out

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 06:55 AM) Am I the only one who likes Matt Barkley? I'm not sure he's the answer, but he certainly makes some plays and seems to have some poise on the field. I wouldn't mind the Bears keeping him around on a "prove it" one year starter deal and drafting a QB to be his understudy. I don't want to plan on Barkley, but I'd really really hate to let him go after his showing.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 08:39 AM) Yea Sherman credited Hahn/Sox for seeing what that's like with the value of Eaton. https://mobile.twitter.com/Joelsherman1/sta...306118399631360 Could part of this motivation be that arbitration process has not been valuing good D/OBP low power guys like this? Anyone know those numbers?

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 09:05 AM) McCarthy/Danks trade was 10 years ago today. It was a Saturday, and early evening if I recall correctly. So you never know. I was just looking at that tweet. In my memory I thought that was a one for one swap and totally forgot about Nick Masset and our fireballing 07 bullpen. Not a great memory considering the fireballers we are bringing in now edit: although it did remind me of one of soxtalk's best nicknames, David AAArdsma

He is missing a popcorn emoji. And yes, this is what our speculation has devolved to, and I'm fine with that.

North Carolina is a disgrace.

You know saying something that dangerous is the exact sort of thing that people warned of with Trump, and were met with claims of exaggerating Trump's danger. People are just too far removed from the 1930s and 40s and for some reason think stuff like this can't happen again. But it wasn't happening again because those citizens post WWII valued that peace and stability, and it's clear many are taking it for granted. Boy, the book "the end of history" really had a short shelf life.

Braves just a real smart extension on inciarte at 5 years 30 mill with option for sixth

I only trust mibelt rodriguez

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 07:56 AM) Maybe he's just expecting something to get done today due to the fact there's been a lot of smoke and its the day before the holidays. Totally. I also have a lot to do today so I kinda don't want it to happen

Are we at the point where we read too much into a whitesoxdave tweet?

Last year bucket did a holiday Q and A on xmas eve at like midnight (maybe, vaguely remember) when we thought we were signing Gordon and it was the best. That's my Christmas wish (and clothes and a nice pair of shoes, wink wink soxtalk)

Astros package tbh. Edit: NVM was thinking Musgrove still in it

Probably but won't care until real names get dropped not "sposedas"

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 22, 2016 -> 07:19 PM) Why do you think an Indians signing of Encarnacion incentives the Astros? Just that the BoSox and Cleveland looks clearly better than them in pitching and closed gap in offense and are not going away next 3 years. Do you really want to bet on your SP health and prospects or make yourself as competitive as possible?

I bet Detroit is better than we expect. Royals too.

Heyman just tweeted "tribe got EE"

If encarnacion signs with Indians, I expect the Astros to come crawling back.
