QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 12:47 PM) No room on the roster for Keppinger and Gillaspie? There goes the World Series. Who said anything about winning the World Series? I'm talking about having a versatile bench with players that can play multiple positions. Not to mention a left handed bat in Gillaspie.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 31, 2013 -> 11:30 AM) Connor would be fine on te bench if we had any open slots. We don't right now. If Davidson out produces Connor and earns the job then there is no where to put Connor except on another teams roster. I think it would be quite irresponsible to have it come to that point so I think Rick absolutely must dump at least one of these bench/if/DH guys before spring training starts. The sad thing is the re-signing of Konerko is what's messing up the versatility of having both Conner and Keppinger on the roster.

I think he's a terrific talent poised to come back. Yes he's a gamble but if the asking price is not too high, he could be an amazing player for us. He's had a lot of bad luck. Think Jermaine Dye in 05, but with way more upside.

The LA Times is reporting that the Dodgers are willing to trade Matt Kemp, and know that they have to eat some salary to do it. I'm not sure what the Dodgers are looking for in return, but Kemp in center for us would make me very excited.

How are they different? Robin doesn't chew on a toothpick during games. Robin never hit on my wife in a Phoenix restaurant during spring training.

If your holding on to the starting pitchers it's a retool. If you want to rebuild you trade all of the young pitchers to teams desperate for pitching. This includes Sale, Quintana and Santiago. You trade these very talented pitchers for prospects in single and double A that have the potential to be great in three or four years. I voted for retool.

I'm gonna go with not wearing the black jerseys very often. I just don't like those things so not having to see them very often was a definite highlight.

Very strange way to do it with the season over tomorrow. Why not wait until next week?

I wonder if this means all of the coaches are back as well. I hope not.

Another good article about our reality. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb/news/...?sct=mlb_bf3_a4

Where's the Hawk guy?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 5, 2013 -> 06:24 PM) The Orioles are one of the only folks in America who told the NFL to go f*** themselves and lived to tell about it. Well that makes me like the Orioles.

QUOTE (mike89128 @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 07:59 PM) Think the Sox have found every way to give away a game. A good night for the draft pickers.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 26, 2013 -> 06:08 PM) Beating up a water cooler is much different than trying to beat up a teammate. Until Sale does that, the Zambrano comp is awful. I understand but I was shocked to see anything this stupid coming from Sale. He struck me as a pretty intelligent guy, not a hot head. Also I knew nothing of this happening until watching MLB Network today. I was just so surprised by the whole thing.

I was just watching Intentional Talk on the MLB Network, and saw the clip of Sale freaking out in the dugout after his last start. He was wailing on a cooler and acting all Zombranoish. I wasn't aware this had happened and am a little concerned about this sort of childish behavior. I've heard he's very competitive but I was surprised by his actions. During the clip Kevin Millar was laughing but saying "Come on Chris don't use your left hand that's your money maker!" I always thought Zombrano was a loser because of his temper. Hate to see that in one of our best guys. Any one else concerned or am I over reacting?

Come home Neal Cotts, come home!!!

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 06:15 PM) Should at least do something for him. He was a big part of that '05 team. It's kind of hard to give a standing ovation to a relief pitcher coming into a game in the 7th or 8th inning. But it would be funny and very odd if they played a Neal Cotts montage while he trots in from the bullpen.

Also Neal Cotts strikes out Dunn in the 7th or 8th.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 18, 2013 -> 03:17 PM) I love when the Sox still win. Shows improvement, confidence in the young guys, and hope for next year. Agree. Plus my wife always laughs when Hawks says "This ball game is ova!"

I know I'm suppose to be rooting for the draft pick, but I kind of like seeing my team win.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Aug 16, 2013 -> 06:23 PM) Why would they move Alexei to 2nd? He's a better SS than Semien and has a much stronger arm than Beckham. He's another year older, and he makes a lot of throws into the dirt that Paulie has to dig out. Will Dunn be able to do that next year? Also Alexi played 2nd in '08 when we last won the division. Maybe we recapture the magic????

If Semien is ready next year to play short, and no deals are made, I hope they consider moving Beckham back to 3rd and Alexi to 2nd.

So the new guy sucks as much as the old guy.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 6, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) Damn...I wanted Soriano to get on base so Reed could have beaned ARod in the head. Stay classy sin city sox fan

Looks like Andy needs to dip into Arod's chemical box.
