QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:10 PM) Don't say all Q. Your better than that. Me and Jason liked Trayce alot and we were in the FS biz/threads before quite a few people currently posting in this thread. With that said though, I really like this deal. Ya but you and Gage are irrelevant.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 02:02 PM) Haven't read the thread yet but I will shortly. Well, Hahn is thinking like me and others. With Frazier, the infield changes so much if we re-sign Lexi. It'll be Frazier, Lexi, Lawrie and Abreu. ON PAPER, excellent. Very sad to lose Trayce, Micah and Montas. Once again we overpaid. I realize I got what I wanted (if we re-sign Lexi; ss will be a major weakness if Saladino is there). I did get what I wanted but wow, the overpay! Final comment: I know the Sox are trying now; I realize the lineup is probably worth seeing in person, buying season tickets now (if we re-sign Lexi on the cheap), but it's now up to Frazier to not be the latest NL player to SUCK in a Sox jersey. And if Frazier does suck beyond belief, even though the trade seems reasonable, Hahn should pay with his job. The FO has to get this stuff right and Sox just gave up three TOP prospects for this guy. He MUST not pull a Dunn or pull a LaRoche. He must excel or Hahn must go. Please sign Lexi now for one year and an option. You wanted to trade Rodon for Frazier but this is an overpay? LOLOLOLOL

And for the record I completely understand people having reservations about the deal or not loving it but the "white sox are the white sox so bad deal" stuff is just non sense.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:37 PM) Was already planning on that. At least this year when they're below .500 I won't be nearly as annoyed, I just won't care. Well you clearly care or you wouldn't be in this thread making multiple posts trying to make others miserable with you.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:35 PM) And exactly what they've been doing for a decade. So instead of complaining just to complain what aspect of the trade don't you like? Is it just the fact that the sox are the sox so f*** this trade? Or are you high on one of/multiple players in the package we gave up?

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) Mission accomplished. Williams crowded out 3promising young players so Robbie and Coope don't have to deal with them. Williams got more low OBP. Another vet slugger. And we get the same horrendous outfield D as last year. Horrible trade No need to tell us your opinion on the trade, if we didn't trade for 3 guys under 20 that each had 15 years of control left then you weren't going to be happy.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:23 PM) Well well, as long as he doesn't fall off a f***ing cliff, this is an exciting move. Is it just me or are Sox fans just more pessimistic about their team then Cub fans? Why wouldn't we be at this point?

QUOTE (Charlie Haeger's Knuckles @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:21 PM) I wonder if the homerun derby messed up his swing? I suppose it could have cause everyone is different but there's been research done that shows the post home run derby slump is just a myth.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 12:13 PM) I wonder if we hear Hawk say "the strong arm of Lawrie" on every double play No need to wonder, that's a certainty.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Todd Frazier feels like every other guy we get. Low average, low on base skills, destined to come here and fall apart. Hopefully he winds up different. At the very worst if he does fall apart he's still a plus defender which we couldn't say about the others.

QUOTE (aboz56 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) Why is everyone sweating Thompson? He played well late last season in meaningless games. Sox sold high. He was a bright spot in an otherwise s***ty season so I think it's natural. That said, I'm 100 percent with you, I enjoyed Trayce but selling high on him is the right move.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) Too bad we couldn't send Avi to the Dodgers instead of Trayce Kenny must still think Avi is a 300/30/100 guy Or the Dodgers liked Trayce better after his cup of coffee in the majors last year. Selling high.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:31 AM) I actually really like the infield right now with Saladino at SS. I'd think it's more likely Alexei comes back now.

The one thing that does scare me about this is that Frazier seems like the exact guy that will completely fall apart here but it's worth the risk with the package of players we gave up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 16, 2015 -> 11:24 AM) To me, it's a great job of selling those 3 guys while they have good value. That's pretty much where I'm at. Hopefully there is more to come now but I don't love any of the 3 guys we gave up so I can deal with this.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 09:15 PM) WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!?! Australia. Glad I could help!

Leonard is struggling big time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 15, 2015 -> 01:59 PM) It's the Bulls. It would be very difficult for them to realistically make an offer that would outbid any NBA team. Not that they can't, but that they won't. Yup.

Anytime I hear the Bulls connected to a big name like that I just laugh.

Well booked and I do enjoy watching Roman wrestle but I just can't care about this guy. But like I said, they've done their job in finally getting him over but anytime he grabs a mic people are going to turn on him again. But oh well, anything is better than Sheamus and this was the best episode of raw in a while.

I think he should be in the hall but I also no longer care.

I'm going to have to re-watch the closing segment cause everyone did seem to love it. Didn't hit the spot with me but I guess I might still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last month.

That was something.

2nd half of a back to back after the first was a double OT game, definitely not shocking.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 12, 2015 -> 08:11 AM) I honestly believe Theo/Jed are bluffing. Heyward is such a question mark in CF. There is no way they go into the season with Schwarber and Soler as the corner OFs. That D would be bad. I still think Heyward is their RF on opening day and Soler (or Baez) is dealt for a CF. That's what I'm guessing too but who knows. I absolutely love Heyward but I do wonder what a move to cf would do to him.
