I'm an idiot.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) It's "complex". I, for one, am not letting a fluid and certain to change situation force me to calmly and quietly reflect, I'm throwing everything at the wall.

QUOTE (bear_brian @ Dec 23, 2016 -> 10:11 AM) What is Pittsburgh getting for trading McCutcheon?? I think we are overestimating our return. I mean, in the most literal sense right now all they are getting is "keeping" meadows. So either the return for Cutch outside nats was MUCH less than we know or something else is going in from sox or yanks to pirates.

I have to say, while pumped about package, totally flummoxed about whether the PIrates are giving up too much or know McCutchens value is that low, and also have ZERO clue why Yankees care about McCutchen this year. Like wtf. From White Sox perspective, getting glasnow is great, getting Rutherford back is amazing, getting back newman too I'm ripping my shirt off and letting my flabby 30 year old chest show proud, add keller and we are talkin pants at that point, men.

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)
