QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 02:08 PM) Once that Fisher extension got announced, he immediately started saying that he didnt have players and basically called out his GM. And now, he has no job, and nobody is surprised. But at least he can say he didnt go 7-9 Sign the extension, try to get fired, still get paid. Great plan.

Looks like Chris Hero is going back to WWE. Dude is incredible just honestly never thought we'd see him back there. Hopefully this run is better than the first one.

I put up an all time clunker of a week so I gone. Melvin and Forte both breaking after a couple of plays didn't help. Blah.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 10:55 AM) Fleener and Stafford. Big Ben always scares me on the road. I didn't realize Julio is likely not gonna play. Picked up Taylor Gabriel. I might start him instead even if Julio does play. That's what I decided even before I read this. Still blaming you if it goes bad.

The Winter Meetings were pretty lit.

So I've clinched a playoff spot in 3 of 4 my leagues. Unfortunately my main league and the only one I really care about I'm in a win and I'm in/lose and I'm out game this week. Soooooo: Stafford or Ben and Martellus or Fleener? Yes the tight end options are awful, blame Gronk.

QUOTE (Two-Gun Pete @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 01:39 AM) Im not high on Anderson, either. I think he's just another strikeout commando, which will lead him to peak as a middle infield bench player. Sure, he can catch, and he can run. But that will mean exactly Jack and s*** if he can't get on base. I absolutely HATE this moronic idea that speedy strikeout commandos should be batted high in the order. Nothing about his game suggests that he'll ever be able to get on base enough to EARN the leadoff spot. Of course, this means that this stupid organization will bat him first as he Ks his way to a craptacular .280 OBP, which will hurt the entire lineup, & the trade prospects for everyone else in it. Is commando the new hero worshipping?

I just don't think you worry about any specific position yet. Just collect the most talent possible. If a top catcher comes available then great, if not, you worry about that later.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Sounds like they are just trying to get the best talent available for the most part. Yup. They're not trying to win next year so just collecting the best possible talent and they'll sort it out later.

And my dumbass is coming into Chicago this weekend. Good job, Row.

He's got a long way to go but he's proven he can adjust and get better at every level. He's a guy I expect to keep developing more and more and getting better and better.

Dude got paid off a career year at 30. He's a solid player but I'm not giving him that kind of deal.

I'm getting a package of players for Q. Trading Q in a 1 for 1 deal doesn't make any sense.

I miss any new news or rumors on Davey boy?

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) there is nobody that can fall upwards quite like Kiffin He's going to end up having the most head coaching jobs in the history of sports.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Anyone expect Q to get dealt today? Never know but I don't expect it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:27 AM) Rick Hahn has a feedback guy. My guess is its Marty34 and Rick is a sadist. This is my favorite part of the offseason so far.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) SportsMockery I think which would mean he has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY at all. Same dude that said we were far along in discussions with the Astros yesterday about Q.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) The Sox have never done a full tear down and rebuild in the time I've been a Sox fan (early 90s as a kid) and while there has been an obvious, overt resistance to the idea from Reinsdorf and Kenny Williams, I always sensed from other Sox fans that they felt the fanbase wouldn't want to bother with it either. But so far in the past 48 hours I've seen mostly excitement, people are ready to get this started and see it through properly. What do y'all think? Am I off base here? There's no doubt that this fan base was ready for the rebuild and mostly everyone is super excited about it. That said, you can bet in a year or two there's going to be plenty of meatheads that turn on it rather quickly. It's obviously the right thing to do though and I can only speak for myself but I'm super excited to see this thing through.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 11:22 AM) I hope he fails again but OTOH I like Houston. Ha, I pretty much had the exact same thought.

Dude was also good at the baseball.

QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:12 PM) What blowback do you mean? The Nationals for giving up a monster haul? The media and Nats fans have been absolutely killing the deal from the Nats perspective. People in general don't like giving up top end prospects for guys they don't perceive as star players.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 11:05 PM) You dare doubt the evil empire?!?! The Dodgers?!?

Yankees could seemingly be a good fit for Q or Nate. Breaking news I know.

Ya I don't think either the Yanks or Cubs are complaining about that trade.
