Aaron Rowand slams Brian Anderson for dropping a ball into the press box the other day

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 02:07 PM) Probably more of the same. 77 wins. (you need to add 77-78) There are about 13 AL teams that think they can make playoffs if everything goes right. The Sox are one of them. That's all I can hope for right now. Fixed it. I was trying to cluster the narrowest options in the middle, and the widest at the end.

Put me on the board at 86 wins.

How many games will the White Sox win in 2016. Make your prediction. If you skip this thread, you officially can't talk about how you knew the Sox would win so many games after the fact.

QUOTE (Black_Jack29 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 11:58 AM) Really nice offseason by Hahn, especially considering the (relative) budget constraints. I wish that Hahn could've gotten an outfielder to sign a two- or three-year deal, as the Sox will need at least one more after this season (Avi is more of a DH than a position player). But it seems that many of them are intent on hitting free agency and cashing in next winter, so I guess you take what you can get. I don't think that any of the big-name outfielders were good fits for the Sox. Upton wanted well over $100M and the Sox don't offer those contracts. Cespedes obviously wanted as much money as possible this season and wanted to bolt for free agency next year. Same for Fowler. Gordon wanted to stay in KC (can't blame him, either). Heyward was their only realistic fit, given that his contract is not guaranteed for its duration. But he had his pick of teams and the Sox aren't exactly high on the list of most free agents right now. I'm not liking the idea of Avi being on the 25-man roster in April, though. I get that LaRoche could really use a platoon partner, but I'd much rather that Avi get as many at-bats as possible, and Charlotte is the best place for that. He has little-to-no defensive value and needs to learn to stop chasing junk out of the zone. So, unless LaRoche is injured/unproductive again or Eaton is forced to DH while his shoulder is on the mend, I'd prefer that Avi work on his swing (and defense) in AAA until September.

Apparently when it rains, it pours. Vincent Goodwill @vgoodwill Butler is out for tomorrow. Going to see Dr. James Andrews for second opinion

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 11:31 AM) Maybe I'm looking too far into this but with the way the Sox are handling Latos it sounds as though he is penciled into the rotation with Sale, Q and Rodon, leaving Turner/ EJ/ Danks to battle for the 5th spot. Danks is in the rotation. He might not finish there, but he will start there. Unless Latos is hurt or flops hard core, he will be the 5th starter.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 06:11 PM) Kruger signed a team friendly bridge deal and trusted the Hawks. This was all part of the plan. Panarin doesn't become an RFA until next year so we don't have to worry about that money yet. Plus his cap hit is less than 900k Hawks still project to have 6 mil in cap space next season It is also worth mentioning that Bickell is finally on his last year next year, which makes him much easier to move to a team looking for floor space.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 04:37 PM) Interesting, but does not qualify as "empirical" evidence. Huh, I never made the connection. Thanks Mr Obvious, you're a lifesaver.

Here is a crazy thought, with like 100 other people in Reds camp, maybe they are scouting someone else? Crazy, right.
