Latos also has a really nice curveball working for him again.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:47 PM) you are trying to prove me wrong, look for them yourself. That is because there are none, and you know it.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) lol, I didn't think you actually had a basis in reality for your rant. You just proved my point. You can be as bitter and angry as you like, but it would be nice if it at least some realism to it. bitter at the cheapness of the owners, yes as a fan i am pissed about that. No, in the middle of March, there was no magic player that the White Sox were going to find to replace Avi Garcia because there weren't any. The only players available were more Avi Garcia's who might be better, but were probably just going to be a different smell of garbage. you are creative in your slant or rant esp against me. you answered this whole thing with the bold. In reality, no one wanted to break camp with Garcia as a starter, including Jerry, Kenny, and Rick, and how do you know this, b/c you come up with a scenario.... pretty much as i did and you are saying i am wrong.... haha which is why they spent a good chunk of the winter trying to replace him. They made competitive to leading offers to at least Gordon, Cespedes, and Fowler as clear upgrades. Even after that they still went out and signed Austin Jackson and used him to push Garcia to the bench. It wasn't about being cheap and keeping money. All you have to do to know that is a lie is what the team did over the winter that directly contradicts that. you keep moving the goal line to fit your argument into a thought you are imagining. again, i am not talking about cespy or any other improvements, i am talking about finishing the job up to 2 weeks ago when players were avial. By the time that LaRoche walked out on his team, every single decent player was gone. Again, this is reality. If you can prove me wrong, please feel free to do so with some actual names. again, i care rats arse on laroche. this has nothing to do with him. This is like talking to Donald Trump. If you don't like reality, you are just substituting your own. None of what you posted here is true. The evidence is there for you. If you choose to ignore it, I can't do anything about it. We are all leading you to water, if you don't want to drink it and be bitter instead, that is up to you.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:38 PM) ahhh you really can't see. there were other fa's who was out there in march, let alone 2 wks ago who will be an upgrade to avi. Who are these fa's?

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) ok let me filp this, show me players outside the FA that they went out to try to trade for that person, outside the ones they traded for already. ref to cespy and that group, i still don't care about that, and i posted that several times. i still don't care. why?? b/c the money could have been in better use to fix the whole team, instead of having a 155 mil salary. btw, pls look up where i ever endorse spending money for cerp, gordon etc..... i never did. there is one person on this board who knows what i am talking about. lets see if he pops in looney, murph to put a name on a couple of minor upgrades than what avi is. This is 100% in direct contradiction to your statement that the White Sox weren't spending money because they wanted to keep it all for the ownership. They were absolutely willing to spend for a good player, and you are acknowledging this to be true right here by saying that you don't care about it. You finally admitting that is all I need to see.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) even players who were still fa's or became fa's.. you were the one who started on naming the names of the upgrades, go and do yourself your own homework. i was defending my post of ranting on the owners. and btw, do not try to chg the subject. i never said anything of a trade. lol, I didn't think you actually had a basis in reality for your rant. You just proved my point. You can be as bitter and angry as you like, but it would be nice if it at least some realism to it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) Show me this player they didn't sign or trade for and show me that they didn't make any attempt to do either. All you do is make up scenarios to carry on your grudge against the front office Here are some facts, they made what is believed to be the highest bid for Alex Gordon which he turned down to stay with the Royals. They were in on Cespedes until his asking price got completely ridiculous and the Mets gave him 30 million for one season. But please, let me know how they made no attempt to improve the team at the DH/outfield position And, again, they brought in Austin Jackson, who would have replaced Garcia in the SLU until LaRoche quit.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:27 PM) there were players and even if they were marginal upgrades, they are still an upgrade of what the sox have as dh now Who, and who were you willing to give up to get them?

Great read by Eaton.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) ok lets talk about those facts, a dh, who the sox tried to trade, a player who was suppose to be hurt. a player in avi, who was going to be a sub, if anything to backup a dh, who happens to quit. time to address the situation when this dh quit and they could have signed any other player, and to boot, they had an additional salary to use. another hitter who could have been the 25th man. so tell me, why wasn't any thing done???? show me where i am wrong! Who was out there they could have gotten in the middle of March that was actually a good hitter, and not a potential marginal upgrade that would have been worth trading something for? I didn't see anyone out there who didn't have their own gigantic flaws in their game. Who did you see that was available?

One pitch, one out.

BLah.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) am i wrong??? so deal with it, and if needed do not reply to my post. wite Actually it was wrong. They DID go out and get an extra hitter, Austin Jackson. Then their DH quit in the middle of spring training.

Is that our first, first inning run of the year?

3 straight SOLID hits. Nothing cheap so far.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:14 PM) Good thing Eaton didn't get traded for talking about Drake LaRoche. One of these days this will die. But probably not until the horse is a pulp.

Good call to hold him, because he would have been gone by a mile at home.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 12:13 PM) Article about pitchers. Talk about Semien. To be fair Tuffy Rhodes was busy today.

Nice start by Adam.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) so how many more years will be the bulls be hot garbage? 5 minimum? A lot depends on this off season, and how far they decide to go with trading away players. If they go as far as Butler, and get a big package back, they can shorten that period of time up a lot. If they only window dress, this could be post-Jordan era.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 14, 2016 -> 11:36 AM) lets not play devils advocate because this is nonsense Its not like the Sox went out and replaced him this winter, only to have their DH quit in spring training or something.
