QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) I didn't think it was brutal. Seemed pretty positive to me overall. Saying he may to hit the average outfielders production while not being good enough to man left field seems not good to me.

corner bakery is the worst.

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) He specifically mentions no Robles in the McCutchen trade but then there's that sentence that I posted. Makes it seem they are trying to keep Turner and Robles then decimate the rest of their farm. It's not possible. The way that is written though reads that it is the writers inference that the Nationals pursuit of both at once makes it seem they can get both without giving up either. That is a stupid way to analyze.

I would be fine with ungodly sums to go to Otani if it meant the White Sox could sign him. I know, I know, will never happen. But man I hope a team that isn't the cubs/red sox/dodgers/yankees sign him.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:34 AM) would you throw up because of how confusing this post is? Obviously part of three team deal where Nats acquire sale, then use Sale to trade Sale to another team for prospects to acquire sale and then claim tampering to allow them to reacquire Sale.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:30 AM) I'd be okay with anyone who we think is a game changer. It does not have to be a QB, although we certainly would need to take a QB early (or do something to address QB longer term). Would be fine with LT / dynamic pass rusher / elite corner. Honestly kind of scared of drafting an LT that high.

Yeah I like Deshaun Watson a lot but aside from that would be fine with the dline talent. Need a safety this year but fine if we use money to sign eric berry

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:10 AM) Not a bad package by any means, and may end up being the best we can get, but just wish it was mainly position players. I have faith in the Sox developing pitching...we need bats! Yeah, I had questions about the positions we'd be getting back with Dodgers but it was nice knowing we'd be getting quality bats regardless. That said, we can try using our other pieces oustide of sale for bats. For all of our "we develop pitching" talk we are pretty barren in minors for both hitting and pitching.

I've gone from discussing how Giolito was the top prospect who scared me to now thinking people are going way too far on other end on him. We saw with Rodon, these guys take time to develop. MLB hitters are good.

Pretty brutal Jamison Fisher review too.

Westworld was fine but man the security trying to shoot the robots in the westworld headquarters was james bond henchman level bad. "Let me continue running up to you even though I see you have a gun pointed at me and never shoot" *gets shot* "Okay well he was shot but i can get closer to shoot ...." *gets shot* "Well they were shot because they weren't close enough" *gets shot*

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 09:15 AM) Astros and Nats trying hardest to acquire Sale Joel Sherman to me has been the most indispensable reporter this offseason (all the time). His analysis is spot on in terms of describing what teams should do, what they are likely to do, and what is happening on the rumor mill. Except you have to read the NY post

I would take Abreu for Kopech and Swihart and some 19 year old pretty quickly.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) There are still packages out there I would take without a true untouchable. The Nationals could build something around Giolito, Robles, & Lopez. The Astros could build something around Martes, Reed, & Tucker. Obviously I'd prefer getting a package headlined by a Bregman or Benintendi, and would push hard for it if I was Hahn, but the packages mentioned above would still be wins for us IMO. I'm sure I'm in the minority on this one though. No I'm with you. Problem it requires great scouting by white Sox to hit on the right next level quantity package.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 03:48 PM) I love this. "TOTAL SPECULATION" What a scoop He's just analyzing. People will assume everything he says is from inside sourcing so he lets you know if it's just his opinion.

Man kudos to Matt Barkley though. Stretches like these earn you millions as that dope NFL backup role . He is a Josh Bellamy brain fart away from a 2-1 record.

Something from last week got me. Showed bears and titans record since 2014 and bears only won 2 more games or so, yet in that time period Titans had better draft position every year including a #2 overall pick which got them their qb of future. These meaningless wins just kill me.

Ugh

Ugh. Stupid Eddie Goldman and developing well at the worst time to sack kaepernick for loss of thirty. This is kinda hard tbh.

I've never actually rooted against bears until today.

Jeff Fisher. Jeff Fisher.

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 01:27 AM) For real, I wonder if Hahn is waiting until Jansen, Melancon, and Chapman to sign and the like "Oh, you missed out on those $15M+ relievers? I got one here only making $12.5M. What chu got?" Just imagine, with that 3 million in savings they could sign their very own Avisail Garcia!

QUOTE (hi8is @ Dec 3, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) They signed Weiters too? I think that is the posters recommendation per his last sentence to acquire a true C

I don't have a prediction but will be interesting to me on the lesser profile guys if traded if Sox look for higher upside younger players or players closer to majors. A guy like Jennings unlikely to get you a top 100 prospect, do you get a payer more likely to contribute at majors or a dynamic arm you like but is only 18-19?
