QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) Way too much for Porter and Massie. Love the Trevathan signing though I mean...when every contract that's being signed is way too much, that's kind of just the market then.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) Question.....Broncos put a 2nd round tender on Brandon Marshall. Would you give up a 2nd round pick for him? I would love to get BOTH Marshall and Trevathon. No, not unless he accepts way below market on deal, which I find unlikely.

cool. As long as we get treviathan, i'm fine with "value" and spreading it around throughout the team. I want one playmaker through FA (see mcphee last year), and then build depth. Unfortunately, wish the playmakers at S/CB were affordable.

Delegate Math and the GOP
One good thing, it's unlikely rubio's constituents move to Trump in large numbers, as Bush/Christies did not appear to. But, as "winner momentum" begins to take hold, it's possible they do.

Not sure. Duckworth has been really savvy politically in elections but it's hard for me to follow the house in anything other than what Madigan is doing. Kirk's latest commercials are gross thou

Really? I would have thought it was more like 50% Rubio there.

Can't tell you how gobsmacked I was seeing Trump in the lead in Illinois. What's worse, his biggest stronghold was the suburbs. I don't know what it takes to vote in the primary, but I'm wondering if I should just vote in republican primary.

White Sox HR totals should get a big boost this year
oh man, that one game down 8-0 where Iguchi has like 8 rbis to bring us back only to lose...that sucked. Also Politte turned into a pumpkin in the pen.

Has Engel been up for one of the big league squad games? I think I remember Ventura saying he was going to get the vets as much time to gether as he could, but hoping I could see Hawkins Engel a few times.

Delegate Math and the GOP
I have to say, I'm now less convinced that the party will fall behind trump. It looks like there is a decent chance Rubio will stay in race just to take away from Trump.

The mets rode power in the 2nd half and playoffs, and aside from the Royals, power was up and down the playoff teams.

Really hope we get Treviathan but then mostly want depth. Hopefully we can find a safety in the draft.

QUOTE (peppers312 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) i would agree with this. the White Sox couldn't get anyone on base last year, or when people were on base no one could drive them in. it was painful to watch. hopefully we get some timely hitting this year and we can avoid another horrible start from guys like Eaton and Melky to start the season. People that hit more home runs tend to hit more doubles. I realize that ideally we would want BOTH high OBP and power. But you said yourself "when they were on base no one could drive them in". Well especially in april/may/june, that was because it required 3 singles to get 1 run. We are talking about a likelihood of a 30 home run increase. At a minimum that is 30 more runs. Who knows how many games that wins with our pitching staff. Those teams have good obp and contact rates. The sox were bad at contact, obp and power. We at least improved power and that will be a very big help.
