QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 3, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) Don't forget to factor in the ball when you're comparing someone's 2017 stats to their 2016 stats. Avi isn't the only one who had a sudden outrageously good season. Scooter Gennett is another example. The ball is a factor Why would it apply more to one player than the rest of baseball?

The Lions tried to implode the Silverdome today. It failed.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 01:19 PM) The tired act is you deferring to insults when you can't refute a fact-based opinion. Maybe just not say anything if you can't contribute in a respectable manner? Hmmmm? You and our President share the same definition of the word "facts".

Yeah Hector Rondon would be my first target with the shape the Sox pen is in.

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 09:24 AM) Counterpoint - If Ohtani truly wants to be "the guy", I can think of no better franchise than the Padres, with no established stars, a few good players, and a boatload of high upside minor league talent. And the whole zero tradition, wanting to win with a franchise that hasn't won much, small market, closer to Japan than most, up and coming team. They check off a ton of boxes as well.

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Yeah they can sign minor league deals. There was even an article about Putnam where he commented about not knowing if he would be tendered and if he isn't if he would be back with the White Sox to do rehab. Putnam is out until somewhere around the All-Star break at least. I predicted months ago he would be gone.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 2, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) You forgot Vieira, but the point remains the same. And I didn't realize Jones could be ready by spring training, thought he was going to be out longer. Glad to see I was wrong on that one. That is why I was surprised about Petricka. Could these guys still be resigned to deals?

Mildly surprised by Petricka, a bit more surprised by Hansen, the other two not as much.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 04:48 PM) You sure like complaining about odd things. $1M for a guy like Farquhar to fill a spot in a rebuilding team's depleted bullpen is normal course of business. We need someone to pitch innings and you're not going to get anything much better for the price. It may be a boring move, but I don't see how it warrants complaints. It is really a $200k deposit on an arm. They could still release him later on and pay him only 20% of that.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) https://twitter.com/thestevenwoods/status/936609044248137728 @thestevenwoods I've heard from someone in the know that Otani doesn't want to join a big market team that's ready to win now. He wants to be THE guy that brings a team to glory and doesn't mind a rebuild. Know any teams like that? https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20171201...9-nksports-base This article in Japanese indicates that Otani has narrowed his list to 5 teams: the Dodgers, Yankees, Padres and two unnamed teams. Not sure if either of these things mean anything, but just putting it out there. I have to imagine that Seattle is in there somewhere.

A again?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 01:22 PM) Oh f*** Chicago Blackhawks‏ @NHLBlackhawks Goaltender Jean-Francois Berube has been recalled from the IceHogs and the #Blackhawks have placed goaltender Corey Crawford on injured reserve. #Blackhawks Ugh. Hopefully it isn't bad.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 01:32 PM) He would be added to the 40-man after the deal is official (after physical?). We'll definitely cut a few people by the end of the day I would think. Yep, if it wasn't certain in my mind that Putnam was gone, it is now.

Patrick Nolan‏ @SSS_pnoles 41m41 minutes ago Welington Castillo's framing numbers dramatically improved in 2017. The #WhiteSox, with a young pitching staff, are making a big bet that it'll continue. Castillo framing runs by year: 2014: -14.2 2015: -10.1 2016: -9.4 2017: +3.7 Castillo is also good at blocking and throwing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2017 -> 12:40 PM) 2 years/$15 million, $8 million club option in year 3 @JeffPassan Sources: Welington Castillo's deal with the White Sox is for $15 million guaranteed. It's a two-year deal with a club option for $8 million in the third year. @Ken_Rosenthal had the deal done first. Not awful, especially since the team has a zero payroll

Bob Nightengale‏Verified account @BNightengale 16m16 minutes ago The #SFGiants still have not been told whether Giancarlo Stanton would waive his no trade clause and accept a trade to SF, if they get a deal done with #Marlins
