QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 12:09 PM) Unless your household makes >$250,000 per year your income taxes would not go up other than a 2.2% tax for the universal health care. For most Americans, health insurance plus deductibles cost them way more than 2.2% each year. So, like I said, your taxes are going up.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:52 AM) He would gain weight like those people on My 600 lb. life when he was playing for a contract. Now that he is guaranteed, there is no stopping that belly. His signing being a mistake was an easy thing to see before it happened. And to be fair, literally no one thought signing Sandoval at anywhere near what Boston bid was a good idea. No one.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:48 AM) Butler isn't a star. He's very good, but not a star. I'd trade Butler for Russell, Hibbert and their top pick like 2k suggested. Jimmy Butler is a star player in this league, very clearly. He isn't a superstar player, but he is one of the best two way players in the game today.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) No, see in that example the Bernie Sanders headline would be "Sanders wants to raise taxes" without qualifying that he only means to the rich. After all, that's his policy that's he stated, so why the need for context? It was pretty clearly shown that his tax plan would increase taxes on everyone.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) Is Russell even that good? I know he is young and has lots of potential, but Butler is an already established star. I would trade anyone on the team besides Jimmy for him. I'd trade Butler for Hibbert, Russell and their top pick this year. (HIbbert to make the cap room work)

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 11:11 AM) It is funny how some people wanted the Sox to sign him a year ago, and now they do not want to touch him with a 10 foot pole. Why? Stuff changes, mostly his wasteline.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 10:33 AM) A majority stake in ownership of Panda Express. Blech. Pass.

It would take the type of deal that saw the Rangers take back Hamilton.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) I'd love to get Donaldson. QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Yeah. Winning the MVP award is awful. Come on Donaldson! Blah. Davidson.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 10:03 AM) True, but two of those OF are Melky and Avi so I would use the term 'outfielder' loosely with them. I'd bet the house that Avi will be on a short leash. The Sox have other in-house options ( Shuck/ Ishikawa/Sands/Davidson/Coats) to experiment with in case Avi's fails before June and if those options fail then I suspect Hahn and his cell phone will be very busy making phone calls in June. I think there's too much focus on the LHB aspect of things. What really matters ( should Avi fail) is finding a bat, any bat, that can be productive regardless from what side of the plate he swings. They seemingly spent the winter trying to replace Avi. I have no doubt that if he flops again, they will keep looking to replace him.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 09:50 AM) Right, let him tie up a scholly that a good player could have taken. He would be a great player at a mid major. I always thought that was the route he was going to go after watching him play for a few years in HS. It amazed me he made Michigan's team, and contributed.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 09:53 AM) If Avi struggles, they'll probably bring up Davidson. Assuming Donaldson breaks his trend of being awful, while Avi doesn't.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) Yes, of course people think that Trump wants to punish women who get abortions, regardless of the law. Hence why he had to back track with a statement yesterday. The whole discussion was premised on the fact that abortion gets outlawed and that women would therefore be doing something illegal. I'm not sure how ignoring that isn't a huge, huge problem. Nor do I understand why it's a "garbage" position. If an act is illegal and you commit the act, why shouldn't you be held accountable? Drugs are illegal. We arrest people who use and possess drugs. We don't ignore the low level user and focus only on drug dealers. Driving while drunk is illegal. We don't ignore the driver and charge the person supplying the alcohol. If you take part in an illegal activity, guess what, you should be charged. You're a criminal. The key point you are missing is that he wants abortions to be illegal, which very directly means that he wants to punish women for having abortions.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 09:32 AM) So now not leaving a year on the table is more important than his long term health? Apparently.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 08:04 AM) I don't know why it's hard to believe that Rollins is simply better than Saladino at this point. "But Eminor3rd, Rollins had a s*** season last year. Have you seen his 2015 numbers?" Yes, I have. Have you seen Saladino's 2015 numbers? They're substantially worse. I think Saladino has a little upside, and I think it's clear that Rollins is on the decline, but it's not uncommon at all for these types of veterans to bounce back to a significant extent after their career worst seasons -- and even Rollins' career-worst season was 19 points of wRC+ higher than the "exciting" Saladino rookie campaign that has everyone so sold on him. Rollins' strong Spring just adds confidence in a bounceback, and a Rollins bounceback clearly has more upside than a Saladino "breakout." Rollins is one year removed from a 4-win season. And if Rollins IS cooked, Saladino is still an option. There's just no reason to be anything but pleased that Rollins earned the job. One of the things said about Rollins was that he played through a couple of injuries last year and that might have hampered him. Who knows if that is true or not, but he did have a pretty great spring.

QUOTE (Brian @ Mar 31, 2016 -> 08:35 AM) Cuz he saw how much Biefledt helped Indiana? I would've rather they let Spike stay here but they're high on Simpson coming in. Spike would look great in Valpo's back court next year, and it would put him close to home again.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Didn't he quit for the sake of his long term health? Originally, yes. But after sitting out, he can't leave a year on the table.

It was a quick inning, but Hahn did talk about Rollins mentoring Anderson a lot, and how much it will help him.

Right off of the bat Hahn makes it sounds like they know who the 25th man is already.

Hahn in the booth on TV right now.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Even by the press covering trump standards that is an all-time out of context tweet about what he said. How the f*** do you take that out of context?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Mar 30, 2016 -> 02:22 PM) Agreed. I love how the cheating asshole is getting a big pass here. Welcome to the Bro Code of professional sports.
