White Sox will not win until they outscore an opponent.

Comcast SportsNet ‏@CSNChicago 46m46 minutes ago Report: #Blackhawks will carry a hefty salary cap overage into 2016-17 -- http://cmcst.sn/UC4E (@CRoumeliotis)

For those keeping score at home, according to BA the Sox are up $279,300 in the bonus pool for the 4/5/7/8/9 picks being signed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 03:39 PM) If curbelo...(sorry, forgot how to spell but don't want to go back to other page to look) signs for only slightly over slot, what players do you think they may take a run at with savings? For reference's sake, Zangari signed for $510,000 after being drafted in the 6th round #172 overall, with a slot value of like $285k. Curbelo was picked #176, so has a similar slot value. My guess is we are talking about a bonus being in the same neighborhood to get him here.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 03:26 PM) Do teams usually do this? Or are the Sox just doing these guys a real solid here? Typically, no unless they have to. I know I said it before, but typically when dealing with veterans on these type of contracts, there will be a handshake agreement that instead of demotion, they will offer the player a chance to go out and explore other opportunities if they ever don't win, or lose their job. It would be my guess that since we didn't even try to send Latos to the pen, that something external is going on here. Could it be the guy is the asshole that everyone talked about before they brought him in, so they don't want him around? Could they be honoring a handshake agreement from before the season? Could Latos have refused to go to the pen or minors when the Sox tried talking to him about it as a maybe? I have no idea what the answer is, but my guess is that it is one of those three things.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 12:56 PM) So my baby boy #2 came last week. The first 2-3 nights were instant reminders of how much getting up every hour sucked. But since then, this guy is only getting up once every 2-3 hours. Last night my wife fed him at 11:30, he got up at 2:30 and ate again and then didn't get up until we woke him up at 6:45. *knocks on wood* Hopefully the good luck continues! Congrats and good luck!

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 15m15 minutes ago #WhiteSox have requested waivers on RHP Mat Latos for the purpose of granting his unconditional release. Did same w/ Jimmy Rollins on Weds.

I will even go as far to say, even if he completely busts, he was worth it.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 01:03 PM) Jim CallisVerified account ‏@jimcallisMLB 2nd-rder Alec Hansen signs w/@WhiteSox, $1,284,500 (pick 49 value). Okla RHP, up to 99, wipeout brk stuff, inconsistent. @MLBDraft A chance at that arm is well worth one and a quarter million dollars. Again, this could be the best pick of our entire draft.

^ Not angry enough.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) Brooks Boyer did a great job for a while IMO, but it definitely seems like he has been running out of ideas recently. The actual commercials were always farmed out to Ad firms, don't know if that has changed recently or not, but I kind of doubt it.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 10:04 AM) Yeah so I never stated we need to abolish libel laws, so no, that's not the opposite of any position here. I'm questioning the ethics of allowing some of the very powerful people in this world to use the legal system to financially punish media outlets they don't like. Peter Thiel was not libeled by Gawker. Hogan may have been, and this donald trump company was not. But he is making sure every law suit get staken to Gawker just so they have to pay for dealing with it. According to Gawker, the items youv'e heard about are justt one of mulitple he has lobbied against Gawker: http://gawker.com/now-peter-thiels-lawyer-...on-t-1781918385 Do you support all of these actions against Gawker? Do you support when Trump just threatens to sue any publication regardless of meriti just to punish them financially? I mean if we are just talking about money here, what about situations where the media giant is libeling someone without money? Do they get away with it, because the person being libeled can't afford to take on the media giant in court?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) That $10 million is likely inflated by this actually going to trial, and a law firm that knew all of its hours billed would be paid. Another plaintiff would almost cetainly settle for less, but restitution is there (unless they don't have a case which many libel cases don't). Your second point is idiotic. Nothing gawker has done punished poor people as much as Thiels funding of james o'keefe's ACORN sting, a malicious piece of trash that hurt actual poor people that he manipulated. If only poor people had a billionaire fighitng for them to protect them against Thiel. No, they may. Your argument is essentially we should have an unchecked billionaire class and not a free media. I disagree. If you take the opposite position to its extreme, it would be argued that this would enable an unchecked media, which is what libel/slander law is supposed to protect against.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 09:43 AM) I ended up binge watching all 5 episodes last night/this morning and there are a lot of little bits of information that I had no clue about being how old I was when this happened. The whole thing is super well done. Some of the defense lawyers and jurors still come off just looking like horrible people. The People vs OJ Simpson was really good for that as well.

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Jun 16, 2016 -> 09:40 AM) He is in extended ST, will be on either Great Falls or Arizona Rookie League roster most likely. He was called up to Kannapolis for a couple days a month or so ago. Very cool. For some reason I have irrational high hopes for the kid. One thing that has been interesting is that the White Sox have really put a spotlight on trying to get catching depth into this organization.

Any word on Carlos Perez, the Catcher from Venezuela?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 15, 2016 -> 06:44 PM) Wow, Sox fans have become quite desperate in their hero worship. Jose Reyes... really? Not really fans in general, but a very small group of fans.
