QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) Whether that will actually matter when there's money on the table I don't know. Much easier to hold onto a rivalry when none of your money is on the table. One more version of it from 06: Eh. Seems pretty slight, and it is something from 5 years ago. Things have changed a lot since then. Morneau would rather sit out than sign with the White Sox?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 03:16 PM) Justin Morneau will never sign with the White Sox, ever. Even if we were the last team on Earth. Not happening. I'd like more elaboration please.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 03:06 PM) Also Morneau had a good 2014 and although it was with Colorado the home away splits are good . Also a good OBP guy. But better hurry Red Sox are looking into him . We know Morneau can hit outside of Colorado and in the AL. Even if he has a regression because he leaves Coors, he is still a valuable hitter.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) Better with than without him ? Disagree, but we'll never know if he would have helped or hurt. Could be a huge blessing . Morneau could probably be had for Latos money and that leaves money for the trade deadline. Despite missing most of last season Morneau came back to hit .338 with a .423 OBP in 78 AB's in Sept/Oct. Doesn't have the power he used to but still hits righties very good and isn't terrible against lefties. He would be the obvious choice except for injury history. I have to say, this seems to be my favorite move. Sign Justin Morneau and pocket the savings for the break if we are in it, if not, blow out the Cuban market for the international pool. The Latin American kids are almost all locked up already, but the Cuban kids are wide open, and there is a lot of talent there.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 02:42 PM) It was crowded. Barring another move Shuck should basically have a guaranteed spot. Off of the top of my head, I think Ishikawa and Sands are the happiest guys in White Sox camp right now.

Brian Bilek ‏@BrianBilek_ 10m10 minutes ago While reports out of Glendale of LaRoche retiring are both poignant and abundant, one #WhiteSox official just told me, "It's not official."

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:55 PM) I hope it's that he just doesn't want to play anymore and not something more serious. Agreed. Hopefully it is just a scenario where he is burnt out and wants to be done, and nothing more ugly.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:53 PM) Idea came up somewhere on twitter to keep the money for flexibility at the trade deadline, but I hold the same belief that I did about the roster before the Austin Jackson signing. I'd rather try to make the team better now and get the extra win or two in the first half. You hope that if the team is doing well enough to be looking to add at the break, that the fans have actually responded, and there is some extra money there to spend.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:51 PM) What could this be about? My guess would be if it were injury related, they would have just said that. Personal issues could be almost anything, none of which are good, and I feel dirty speculating about what they could be.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:49 PM) I'd love for Bruce to be here and reds to still pay for some of the contract. With the savings we should be getting, I'd rather give up nothing to get him and just pay the contract.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 8m8 minutes ago Adam LaRoche: "I’m confident I am stepping away from baseball. ... My teammates have asked me for an hour (to reconsider)." (1/2) (2/2): "I’ve tried to convince them I am convinced, but I will do them that, and give it a day or two, and then come back in."

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) Ishikawa sticking around? Can he play anywhere other than 1B?

QUOTE (Bruce_Blixton @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:25 PM) I think we should trade him and try to capitalize on the his rising value, something like Avi for Mark Appel+a 15-20 prospect from the Phillies like Nick Pivetta, Alberto Tirado or Tyler Goeddel. I know Appel has really struggled since being drafted but a lot of the knocks against him concern the lack of movement on his fastball, which adding a cutter (Coop's specialty) could transform his game, but from all accounts his stuff is still electric. No one is paying up for Avi Garcia based on two weeks of spring training stats.

Brian Bilek ‏@BrianBilek_ 40s40 seconds ago Assuming Rollins makes the team, the #WhiteSox spent 15.5M on free agents. Adam LaRoche just cleared the team of 13M. That is material.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 3m3 minutes ago White Sox had a nearly 2-hour-long team meeting this morning in the clubhouse at Camelback Ranch, where Adam LaRoche spoke with teammates.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 01:32 PM) Wow. First reaction is I hope he and his family are OK. Second reaction is we have $13M to spend. Agreed. Wow. Hopefully the guy is OK, but this is a nice break for a team that could use the cash. I wonder if this was talked about before, which is why the Bruce stuff was being talked about. This also has to create some excitement for those looking for a job at the bottom of the roster. A guy like Jerry Sands might have just had a door open if it is too late for a deal to be made.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 12:43 PM) Disagree. I'm enjoying all of it. It is building these characters very well. I love the way they are sowing the seeds for Jimmy's eventual downfall to Saul, and then ever further down than that. Same with characters like Mike and Tuco.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 12:35 PM) In 2015 ST A-games Avisail Garcia hit .313 during the spring with a couple HR and a couple 2b. He also hit very well in the regular season until he got hurt.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Mar 15, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) That's what I was thinking. Question, does anyone else think that whoever claims something of abuse has happened to them and it turns out to be false (whether it's a man or woman), do you think that person should person should be charged/fined for filing a false report? A lot of the time, if a person is proven innocent, they do not go after the person that accused them whether it's filing charges or suing for defamation. What do you guys/ladies think of this? Here is the problem. No court proves anyone "innocent". They find them not guilty. This does not mean that they were innocent, necessarily. It may well mean in a case that is a very, very gray area of law, the jury didn't believe without a reasonable doubt that the defendant was guilty. That being said, if there is actually evidence of someone actually filing a false police report, and not just not being able to prove someone was guilty, then yes, throw the book at them. That is perjury if done under oath, and probably a whole host of other crimes too if they get to the point of a trial.
