Viciedo for Buster Posey it is.

So I may have gotten screwed in my two keeper leagues this season but at least I have Odell Beckham for at least the next few years in both. That dude is ridiculous.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 02:01 PM) Why would Lowrie sign for that? Because we're the White Sox and everyone wants to play here now. Or Something.

And please don't lump Brett Myers in with the roiders, Myers was a f***in scumbag, that was one guy I truly never wanted on the Sox.

I really hate Flowers, that guy took roids and tries to frame pitches, the ultimate cheater.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) Aw, Rick Hahn already got me I wanted. Rob Brantly?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 10:53 AM) Or release him. If we pick up the money on his deal maybe we can at least get a useful bench player out of him instead of just releasing him. Hopefully.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 10:18 AM) For those of you saying a SEC football game, I would suggest going to Ole Miss if possible. I love tailgaiting for Tennessee games, and Alabama, Georgia, LSU (night game) are awesome too. But The Grove is so unique. It's hard to truly comprehend it until you go. And Oxford is a pretty charming town as well. The difficult thing about an Ole Miss game is that it's impossible to find a hotel b/c Oxford is so small. You'd have to rent out a house (or apartment) for the weekend, which is what I did last October for the UT-Ole Miss game. A couple of my friends went to Ole Miss for the Miss State game a few weeks back and said it was amazing. The one problem? $40-50 covers to get into bars afterwards. What the s***?

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:36 AM) Personally rather keep Tank, cheap contract, somewhat respectable numbers, nice bat off the bench and can be used at DH, 1B, 3B, LF, and RF I feel, our bench isn't too great (Nieto, Sanchez), please keep Tank, let's keep our bench and Cuban connection strong There's a reason he was moved from 3b and he's never played 1b and he's a horrible defensive of. Not exactly a guy to bring off the bench to play any of those positions.

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:58 AM) I'm still all for adding him for piss cheap if we don't grab some significant bench players I'd rather give Saladino a shot than signing Gordon.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:57 AM) There has been very little talked about the catcher they picked up from Marlins. What happens to Nieto, after spending a full year with the major league team they send him down to minors? Does he have to clear waivers? He's got options so he'll be in the minors.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 06:46 AM) F yeah! We got him! Good call. You've been on a roll with that lately.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:41 AM) they are seeing their popularity slipping. it has to affect them. Their popularity isn't slipping at all.

QUOTE (WKamm @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 07:07 AM) After they signed a cheater? Hell, no!!!! Are there any baseball teams you like?

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) Never thought I would see the day where Beckham would be an ideal bench guy on this team. He can play 2b and SS and hits lefties well He really doesn't hit lefties that well.

I am not a college student but I'm living in Missouri, no excuse though, I'll be going to at least 5 games this year.

The Cubs have had a very good offseason too, I'm sure they couldn't care less what the Sox are doing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:32 AM) Except Toronto's in win now mode too. That move would make no sense unless they got all top prospects back and punted on this season. He's talking about trading with Oakland when Donaldson was still there.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:29 AM) Yes, but not for all that much. Lawrie is a nice player, but Donaldson currently is a star, if I were the GM, he is one guy I would give Anderson + for. Anderson, Gillaspie and whatever for an offensive and defensive huge upgrade. And he is controlled for a while. I'm with you. It appears the Sox wanted to save the top 5-6 guys in their farm while improving the major league club though.

Yes. Catcher, 3b and the bottom of the rotation are spots they could have upgraded but not holes in the roster imo. They filled every hole they had on the roster, now I just want them to find a platoon partner or two for Conor and Laroche and I think they're good to go.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:23 AM) If you have to field a team on today's 40-man, including Cabrera: Lineup- Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, LaRoche, Garcia, Gillaspie, Ramirez, Flowers, Sanchez (Johnson currently non-roster invite) Bench- Leury, Danks, Viciedo, Brantly Rotation- Sale, Samardzija, Quintana, Danks, Noesi Bullpen- Guerra, Jennings, Webb, Petricka, Duke, Putnam, Robertson I think Saladino is on the roster at this point over Leury.

QUOTE (shipps @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 09:18 AM) Wow. What a fun off season. It's like Hahn is setting the team up through a video game. How do all your targeted moves workout? Sometimes you just have to steal Jerry's checkbook.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2014 -> 08:50 AM) Jones will be a while. Another reliever, and work on the bench. Who knows, maybe Hahn will get Castro to catch. BTW, Leuri is hitting .338 in the Dominican League. I'm ok with the bullpen as of now, the bench definitely needs some fine tuning though.

In related news, Balta's offseason from hell continues.

Well s***, wasn't expecting to wake up to this. Happy happy joy joy!
