I can't see him leaving what he has at Valpo for Illinois. Dude has it made there. He is a literal hometown here. He led their high school to a state title when he was at Valpo High in 1994. The family loves it there. If he is going to leave, it is going to be for a program that doesn't need to be rebuilt from the bottom floor.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 09:23 AM) I could be wrong, but I don't think they are going to take away much of anything from the room. It seems like a pretty tight group. I mentioned TT last night as a possible target, but I think that's a stretch too. Just my opinion, from a financial standpoint trading Shaw could make some sense so I get it. Just don't think it'll happen. I don't think they subtract from the core unless it gets them a superstar. Considering the math on that sort of a deal, I don't think it is even possible.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 26, 2016 -> 08:23 AM) Only way a team was getting him is if they offered something like 3/45, in my opinion The one year opt out seemed pretty important here.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) Well, right now, there's arguably two guys in Stephens and Hickman that a lot of scouts are very high on. Of course, the same types of things were said about Beck when he was drafted, that he was once viewed as fairly high first round draft pick. At any rate, with Danish/Guerrero and then Stephens and eventually Hickman pushing up...that helps to rebalance the system pretty quick if any of those four guys along with Adams can make it. Beck has also pitched at the major league level. That is a drafting success.

Maybe I am the only one, but I see 80% Rollins, 19% Saladino, 1% anyone else.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:32 PM) I hope someone asks Bowman if any of the 2010 team that is still around was consulted on the move. Not that it matters, I just think it would be interesting to see if guys like 19-88-2-7-81-4 were asked if they thought it would be a good fit. I can't imagine it being any other way.

Mark Spector ‏@SportsnetSpec 1h1 hour ago Dano was highly regarded by CHI, but they were disappointed at his ability to play at Hawks pace.

Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 54m54 minutes ago Jimmy Rollins said he bypassed offers with guaranteed roster spots for chance to win starting SS job w/ #WhiteSox. http://bit.ly/1UnrDzP

That is a clear goal.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 03:11 PM) Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 17m17 minutes ago Interesting project. Hickman has power arm, looked like maybe 1st-rder before down spring & then TJ @WhiteSox #Top30 Since no one has mentioned it yet, this was the most interesting thing said in the chat. Obviously he is coming off of Tommy John and is only close to starting to throw again. But if Hickman really does turn out to be first round pick quality, he would instantly give us another big time prospect for the 2018 to 2019 range. It would be a huge boost to the system for a guy that hasn't generated a lot of conversation as of yet.

That makes a career high in goals for Brent Seabrook.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:38 PM) I'm flipping that 3rd and 4th line, I want that Deszi-Kruger-Shaw line really grinding out against teams top two lines. With the way Q rides his horses in the playoffs, the 4th line isn't going get a ton of run anyway. It's also why I wasn't going to be super upset if TT got moved in the right deal. I'm pleased with the Ladd package, but not sure how much run TT is going to get in the post season. We're also assuming everyone will be healthy, so... That 4th line is a true checking line.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:31 PM) Ladd -Toews - Hossa Panarin - Anisimov - Kane Danault - Teravainen -Rasmussen or Panik Desjardins - Kruger - Shaw Bam! This team is so much better with Shaw on the bottom lines. Then get back Kruger and they are playoff ready.

And it is worth pointing out that Dano did seem to fall out of favor here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:20 PM) Jackson rejects Angels offer of 5-6 mil http://m.angels.mlb.com/news/article/16546...-austin-jackson That is the first time I have heard a number put to Jackson that I can recall.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 07:10 PM) It doesn't happen often in sports, but they aren't really in a position to worry about the future, at least not a 1st priority. It's about right now. I trust this front office, and if they identified Ladd as the big missing piece (as many of us did the last few weeks), then you do what you need to do to get it done, and worry about 2017 and 2018 later. Yeah, and they are deep enough they can afford to give up some of that young depth to get a guy.

QUOTE (Tony @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:55 PM) Now reading the tweets, steep price, but they have to go for it. Yeah, that is pretty steep. The other side of the coin is that Saad turned into Ladd and Anisimov, +.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 06:23 PM) Danish was also the youngest player in AA. Danish seems like an Oakland player. Very non-traditional, but high achieving. I could see there being interest where other teams would be scared off.

QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:40 PM) Yeah the QO could be $18 million next year. There's a good chance Fowler accepts that QO next offseason. After the way this season went, he would unless he went crazy this year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 03:50 PM) Wouldn't the Sox have had the shot to get the pick back in the following year (presuming they would be comfortable enough to make him a qualifying offer...albeit that means you are willing to give him a hefty pay raise over what you paid him in 16. They would have to be willing to offer him a chance at $16 million + for 2017.

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 3m3 minutes ago White Sox VP Ken Williams on passing of Eddie Einhorn: …

Lil Sean from 79th @thatdudesk @jimcallisMLB what is Spencer Adams upside? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 5m5 minutes ago Huge upside. Adams could have plus stuff, very athletic, advanced command, love him as prospect @WhiteSox #Top30 Matt Manzella @MatManz @jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Is there anything at catcher that excites you? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 8m8 minutes ago I do like Alfaro's upside. Zavala had interesting debut, need to see more. Both far away from bigs. @WhiteSox #Top10

Alex Cole @Alex_Cole_4 @jimcallisMLB a lot more young talent from the international market than we've seen in the past. Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago Yes. Marco Paddy has rebuilt @WhiteSox' international program after bonus-skimming debacle. #Top30 John Bjerkness @johnbj14 @jimcallisMLB When do you think Tyler Danish is ready to make impact in the bigs/what to reasonably expect from him? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago Love Danish's heart but rough year in Double-A & might be RP. Mid-2017 ETA. @WhiteSox #Top30 Adam Sager @AdamGSager @jimcallisMLB Favorite #WhiteSox prospect outside of top 10? Pitcher and position player. Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago Always like this type of question. RHP Jordan Stephens & C Jhoandro Alfaro. @WhiteSox #Top30 Allan Dudek @Exposfan1998 @jimcallisMLB @whitesox Does Keon Barnum power ever get him to MLB? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago Another extreme longshot. @WhiteSox #Top30 Andy Van Psych @cronebender @jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Any chance for Cleluis Rondon to have a bat even worthy of MLB utility role? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 7m7 minutes ago Extreme longshot, though Rondon is a gifted defender at SS. @WhiteSox #Top30 Luc McDowell @lucmcd17 @jimcallisMLB @whitesox @MLBPipeline Besides Fulmer and Anderson, whose next closest to MLB ready? Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 6m6 minutes ago Not a lot of candidates ... Chris Beck, if healthy, I guess. @WhiteSox #Top30

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 17m17 minutes ago I hear mixed reviews. Some say Anderson is legit SS, other say lacks hands/reliability & will be CF @WhiteSox #Top30 We didn't rank systems beyond Top 10 at @MLBPipeline, my sense is @WhiteSox would fit around 20 or so. #Top30 TBA. If AFL for real, Engel = everyday guy. If not, 4th OF who doesn't get most out of nice tools. @WhiteSox #Top30 I'm all in on Fulmer. SP, consistent + stuff & competes, believe in that > worry about size & deliv @WhiteSox #Top30 Don't think we'll see Fulmer this year as big lg starter. Think it can happen in 2017, though. @WhiteSox #Top30 We'll see. Like the raw power, wonder if Zangari makes consistent contact against better pitching. @WhiteSox #Top30 [Johan] Cruz could be if last year's offensive surge is for real. Already has defensive chops. @WhiteSox #Top30 Interesting project. Hickman has power arm, looked like maybe 1st-rder before down spring & then TJ @WhiteSox #Top30 Adam Sager @AdamGSager @jimcallisMLB Do you see Trey Michalczewski taking over for Frazier at 3B in 2018? Jim Callis added That's the path Michalczewski is on. Always liked him back to HS, can be solid all-around at 3B. @WhiteSox #Top30
