gives us a league average starter from this list. Prior to getting Latos, our #4 and #5 are at the very very bottom of the list http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/the-chang...pitching-ranks/

Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 38s38 seconds ago Rationale behind Latos to ChiSox, per source: "Best place where he can make 30+ starts and win".

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 12:58 PM) Good peripherals, bad ERA. So, the opposite of Erik Johnson

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) Lawrie and Latos. The all-asshole team. and we bring back legacy a-holes now. Carl was at SoxFest

Jerry Crasnick ‏@jcrasnick 58s59 seconds ago Mat Latos has agreed to a deal with the #whitesox This was the pitcher I wanted. Risk reward likely to be a great match

Fangraphs suggests Gallardo for us http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/yovani-gall...re-obvious-fit/

http://www.latimes.com/sports/dodgers/la-s...0204-story.html Interesting stuff here about us. Says we inquired on Puig; they tried to sell us on Ethier/C.Crawford

in the Puig article, Merkin has stated that the sox 'appear unwilling' to give up a pick for Fowler

the Frazier rumor took awhile but then finally got done.

I'd be fine with Ethier if there are monetary savings involved that allow us to also address a starting pitcher spot.

Chris Carter may still be playing, but we ended up not missing him. What a strange deal in that we traded a young prospect for a sort-of aging prospect (who was absolutely mashing in the minors). I hate to suggest it but it's almost like this offseason where you see a Jose Peraza dealt away for Trayce Thompson.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 4s5 seconds ago Carlos Quentin agrees to minors deal with twins

Jesse Sanchez ‏@JesseSanchezMLB 3h3 hours ago Oh yeah, Leury Garcia JUST HIT AN INSIDE THE PARK HOME RUN. Mexico 2, Dominican Republic 2 in the third inning. #CaribbeanSeries

David KaplanVerified account ‏@thekapman The White Sox are in play for Fowler as are the Texas Rangers. He is hearing from a few teams that still want a bat. David Kaplan ‏@thekapman 3m3 minutes ago Talking to people around MLB, sounds like it will be a tough putt to see Dexter Fowler back w/ Cubs. Could happen but stars have to align.

he unleashes tomahawk abandon on righties

Phil RogersVerified account ‏@philgrogers Not clear if there's a match but #WhiteSox are exploring #Dodgers Andre Ethier. His 2.7 WAR in '15 would be 4th best in their lineup.

'lectric boogaloo Only worse than that

The one thing with Desmond......he WOULD be worth it if his need to be a MLB starting SS is so great that he would accept a deal with multiple club options. That would be a team-friendly situation then as we could give him raises based on performance or dump him as needed. Which granted isnt likely to happen but it is a thought

QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 09:07 AM) 2017 on the other hand has me excited with this rotation and Abreu, Lawrie, Frazier, Melky, and Eaton all under contract with Anderson coming up and hopefully Avi panning out Lets also note that 2017 for Melky is likely a vitamins-year More reason for optimism

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 26, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) I'd take our rotation over the Cubs' any day... Hawk finally has a soxtalk account!

catcher position projected to be 3 WAR here https://twitter.com/cistulli/status/692087588992057344

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 22, 2016 -> 02:24 PM) His defense and speed would make up for the power...which would be coming from the infield anyways im just not a fan of eating up OF playing time with non-power guys, because you cant count on IF power. Frazier may not be here even two years. He would be a trade chip if we go south. If you bring Inciarte in here, he is intended to be here for a very long time. So him and Eaton would be playing together for a long while, not giving us tons of pop. I also am not sold on Lawrie's HR potential either
