The White Sox aren't doing anything next year either. This is another salvo for Manny.

We all wanted the Sox to pull out the stops this winter. They are being truly inventive to try to make this a destination for Manny.

I can't wait until we swing back towards intellectual debate instead of screaming like an idiot to get attention.

I want to know his screen name.

Tell me that you couldn't see Ozzie running interference for Freddy? I know I could.

So when we do evaluate the best cities to cheat on your wife in, and how JR is too cheap to do it better?

There are already rumblings that Boston won't extend him long term because of his late season fades.

Hopefully these takes keep coming after it gets cold outside again, because I could warm my hands to some of these.

Counting on Leury is a waste of time and resources.

Leury can't stay healthy enough to be a real option.

And no one ever claimed that Yoan was a finished product.

It is WAY too early to be freaking out over bullpen pieces. These guys are placeholders for our pen until the arms we have in the minors start to take over these slots. Neither Herrera nor Colome will be on our next playoff team anyways. This allows the Hamiltons, Burrs, Burdis, and others of the minors to break in at a more leisurely pace instead of being thrown straight into the fire. If the arrival date of this team is earlier than the next couple of years, neither of the two guys we have added would block up from going after someone better, if needed.

With all of his low IQ play and reads at 2B, the danger of failure is MUCH greater in CF.

Not a super big fan, but I get wanting to add some back end stability to this pen.

Outside of a Lyle Mouton sighting, this is the most important Ex-Sox news of the winter. I was disappointed that Caulfield was not reached for comment.

The fact it did after that long tells me it was going to happen no matter what.
