QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:59 AM) If teams didn't have to give Olt a 40 man spot and potentially remove someone from their roster, there is no question he would have been claimed. If and when the Sox release him, he will have no problem finding a minor league contract with another team. I do agree, they won't get anything of substance for him, but I am sure a team wouldn't mind him stashed away in AAA just in case he figures something out. He can hit the ball a mile. Put him on a AAA roster, sure. Pay something to get him? No way.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 07:23 AM) As much fun as the conference tourneys can be, I really think they should start giving the auto bid to the regular season champion. You dominate the league for 3 months, then it's all for nothing. Plus, that will increase the odds of a 16 seed finally beating a 1. The more upsets that happen in these tourneys, it weakens all of the teams in the main bracket. It will also greatly reduce the importance of the conference tournaments, and it will take away at large bids.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 06:46 PM) If you a person in poverty in the United States, you are most likely white. By sheer numbers, yes. But only because there are more white people in the US than anything else. By percentages, no. http://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/l...emo/p60-252.pdf For example, average family income by race. Asian $74k White $60k Hispanic $42k Black $35k % in poverty by race White 12.9% Asian 13.1% Hispanic 24.7% Black 25.2% If you are black or hispanic, you are about twice as likely to be in poverty than white.

QUOTE (LDF @ Mar 1, 2016 -> 11:05 AM) i am in agreement here. move them, or allow them to move. what i see as great spots that is built up already, 1. Mont, 2. Van tie with Austin. i still think that chicago and the westren subs can handle another team. vegas and cha i don't know. Chicago can hardly support two teams. If a city is getting a 3rd team it would be NYC, and even that isn't going to happen.

QUOTE (knightni @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 06:53 AM) Can people quote/copy/paste Twitter link info in the thread? Not all of us have Twitter access at work.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 07:18 PM) Yea, hard to complain about a 90 win year. Not for some...

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:54 PM) Other than one article a few weeks ago, I haven't seen anything about healthy concerns. Could just be a to keep him fresh longer. Spring training is long afterall. To be fair that article said he still had fluid on the knee and he might not be ready for opening day.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:29 AM) They would have had to put him on the 40 to claim him. Now they could trade for him without having to put him on the 40. Huge difference. Not really. I could see a minor league for "cash" or future considerations deal, but that is it. We will literally get nothing for Olt at this point.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:13 AM) For the sake of filling out a lineup, Olt I guess could go to AA to DH of backup 1B/3B. Olt won't go back to AA. If he goes anywhere, it would be release.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 08:03 AM) Yeah, not all of Davidson, Olt, Ishikawa, Delmonico and Hayes will be there for two positions plus some DH time. A couple will be elsewhere or in BHAM, and I don't think any of the first three belong in AA. But Delmonico needs to be challenged or he becomes a 40-man add after the year, and Hayes looks ready for AAA (and age-wise he should be there). My guess is Olt is gone by April, not sure about what happens with the other four. Delmonico is the obvious one to start at AA. He didn't even play a full season at Birmingham, and in that time he couldn't even put up a .700 OPS.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:49 PM) He was a nice kid. He and Seabrook were the two who would hang out with us lowly interns back in the day haha. He just couldn't stay healthy. He was fun to watch when he was on the ice, but you are right, he just couldn't stay on the ice.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:45 PM) Haven't actually been out to the island, but I've been to that area on both sides of the bridge and it's very nice. We haven't been, but when we looked it was REALLY expensive.

QUOTE (Tony @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:40 PM) It's fun and also sad to look back at a thread like this. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?sh...8195&st=200 I posted this lineup at one point: Remember when Ruutu was going to save the Hawks? Ha.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:23 PM) That's why they're practicing running in practice games. GTFO!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 03:25 PM) You mean like what you're doing? Tell me, who was your favorite pre-2007-2008 Chicago Blackhawk and what was your favorite moment involving him? Eddie Belfour was my guy. I was so destroyed when he got traded, and so did JR. Outside of the Hawks, I was a total Pavel Bure guy.
