QUOTE (wardo @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:49 AM) Don't think the return for Sale would net as much as we'd like to think. Realistically I think Sale could net something like this Cubs acquire: Chris Sale White Sox acquire: Jeff Samardzija, Jorge Soler, low level pitching prospect If that's the case which I highly doubt it is then you simply don't trade him. Not too difficult.

Ya that was pretty great. Teases everywhere.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 10:03 PM) Jeffery might be the best WR on this team. Also, I see no need for Jay Cutler on this team. At some point, the way this team is playing w/ McCown stops being a fluke. Even 2 weeks ago I would have said you're nuts but...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 06:18 PM) McCarron, Manziel and Lynch dont even need to book the trip. Nobody really needs to book the trip except Winston.

Hey Lynch is a finalist!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 04:23 PM) This would be about the absolute worst, worst, worst thing you could do if you are going to trade Chris Sale. You need to load up on prospects if you trade him. Adam Dunn is a free agent after this year and John Danks is still a good pitcher who was in his first year back from injury. What are you going to spend that money on anyways? Maybe you can do that with Santiago or Quintana and get away with it, but it's just not smart to do with Sale. This, so much this.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 05:10 PM) Been to 4, won all of them, it's an amazing atmosphere. Just have to walk by tons of homeless-looking people wearing Mizzou gear on the way in. Bandwagon fan.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) The only thing that makes me consider trading Sale is if we got a guy like Archie Bradley in return and he pans out. There is a decent chance the trade is worthwhile. Bradley becomes the ace he can definitely can be and Sale gets injured we win the trade right there. Plus the other 4-7 assets we get. Surely a big if, but that's where my head is at right now. Would have to be a monster package with Bradley included. Bradley is just as likely to get hurt as Chris and obviously he hasn't proven anything yet.

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 12:39 PM) I've got to tell you boys...If we clean out Arizona's system, it would completely accelerate the trajectory of our franchise. If the package included ALL of the names you mentioned above, I would make the deal in a heartbeat. Maybe or they all bust except one who becomes an average major league but nothing close to Chris. Obviously impossible to project that's why trading him is so damn risky.

Sale to the Diamonbacks for the Diamondbacks?

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 09:46 AM) Random rant: how the hell is Denver 12-8? Their best player is Lawson (solid, but probably not an All-star out west) and their second best is....Faried? Chandler? I don't even know. I thought this would be a diaster season until Gallinari returned, instead they're pretty good. Nate Robinson is the best person in the world?

QUOTE (Baron @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 07:50 AM) Apparently he is looking for a 3 year deal Then no.

As long as the move doesn't break the bank, go for it. This team isn't going anywhere might as well add some reason to watch.

Yay! Kinda.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 05:59 PM) At my current rate, I'll reach 25,000 posts by the time I'm 60 years old. I'm 25 right now... I swear you post more than your count says. I got a ton of posts but I go on my spurts of posting a lot and rarely posting. I think post the least amount during baseball season, oddly enough.

Now Gronk broke.

QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 01:15 PM) Any report on what it was? Didn't look like bad tackle on replay I saw. We don't have volume on it. But ya the tackle itself didn't look bad, he got carted off though.

AP just broke.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 12:33 PM) Is Bush out? He's "questionable to play," I doubt you'll see him.

The Philly game is just amazing.

You're not as perfect as your avi but you're ok!

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) I'm guessing that winning a playoff series is a more likely outcome than missing the playoffs at this point I unfortunately completely agree.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 11:04 AM) I think Michigan St, Alabama, Auburn, and Florida State would be pretty legitimate this season. And angry Baylor.

Good thread Tex. Most important for me: Abreu a legit middle of the order hitter, EJ at least a middle of the rotation starter and Semien an above average infielder, preferably a MI.

Happy birthday buddy. Keep up the great work with future sox!
