QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 12:54 PM) Plus any free agent signings will come with kicking off a 40 man guy. We won't bat an eye kicking off albuquerque, etc, but if we loaded with all of our young guys we would not be able to sign anyone. Also a really good point.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 06:51 PM) Also keep in mind, like everything.....the Front Office knows more than we ever will about certain situations. I assume with cases like this, GM's talk and get a feel of who they need to protect. This is a great post. They probably have done way more indepth studies of each team, their 40 man rosters and who they have to protect to be able to project who will be available and who will be the mostly likely to pick players to get an idea of how far they need to go in protecting players. For a guy to get picked, is he going to have fairly high on the overall list of players out there. For example only 18 guys got picked last time around. It was 16 in 2015 and 14 in 2014. Is Guerrero going to be rated higher than that many players out there? I haven't seen a preview yet, but that is worth asking/exploring. This is a list of players from top 30 lists who are exposed. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/261944130/pr...osed-to-rule-5/

Jeff Passan‏Verified account @JeffPassan 12m12 minutes ago Sources: Negotiating for new posting system continues, and while parties remain optimistic, gaps do exist. An example: MLBPA wanted to shorten posting window from Nov. 1-Feb. 1 to Nov. 1-Nov. 15. NPB countered Dec. 31. MLBPA went Dec. 1. NPB then Dec. 15. Haggling over two weeks.

Jeff Passan‏Verified account @JeffPassan 8m8 minutes ago The MLBPA set an 8 p.m. ET deadline for an agreement. Without a deal, Shohei Ohtani would not play in MLB in 2018. Remember, of course, this is an arbitrary deadline. MLBPA simply doesn’t want free agent market to be held up any more than it already has been for multiple reasons.

Wait, wut?

STFU and stick with the program

OH, do you you understand?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) White Sox chose not to protect: UTIL Jake Peter, LHP Jordan Guerrero, and OF Tito Polo. Any of them could potentially get taken. I think they could add more guys after the non-tender deadline too though. Polo is by far the biggest surprise to me. Even if his bat isn't ready, he sounds like he would be able to play major league defense to me. The other two just aren't that surprising to me. Peter MIGHT be a utility guy if he can keep going. Guerrero has stalled at AA in an organization with a ton of pitching.

My bother, if you don't get the pattern, too bad.

King George is the best part of Hamilton

I have.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) Any chance Saladino is cut by then? Don't see the point in having him anymore when Yolmer does his job better/his back issues Zero.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) No real issues from me. I would of protected Guerrero and Peter as well and got rid of Saladino and Garcia Leury? Really?

One spot for a Rule 5 pick.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) White Sox equivalent is about Yolmer Sanchez, Carson Fulmer, and Nicky Delmonico. The Giants would be taking on somewhere around $335 to $350 million in future obligations on the top end.

Carlos Zambrano and Kerry Wood are both on the HOF ballot today. Remember when people thought they were better than Mark Buehrle? That was great.
