At some point I wonder if the Sox are going to these guys and saying that this how much money we have left. The first to jump on it, gets it. The other gets left out.

I would love to know what the demands for Fowler, Jackson, and Desmond look like right now.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 10:34 AM) Have you read a word of his posts about gay life? He's trying to educate us. He has a unique perspective and is trying to inform. What he writes is totally contrary to what is portrayed. 400 partners? Wilt Chamberlin said he slept with over 20,000 women. Does that mean all Kansas students sleep with 20,000 people? After all Wilt has a unique perspective and is trying to inform.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 12:40 PM) Agree with everything you say. I think it is unfortunate that the bridge to Thibs was done though, because I feel Gar completely sabotaged him (and obviously by last postseason, Thibs had finally had enough and was going to start leaking stuff). On a sidenote, Taj might be out. Sounds like he's pretty beat up, but given how and what he plays through (same with Jimmy), I always wonder how the guys deal with Rose. From the outside looking in, it is tough to call. Management wanted him to make changes that he refused to make. They wanted him to get an offensive assistant, which he refused. It isn't hard to squint to see what working with a guy like Thibs would be like. Obviously the Bulls were pretty bitter with him at the end, but that didn't happen for no reason.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 12:31 PM) They clearly stopped last year. At least, parts of the team. Gasol never bought in to the way Thibs did things. I doubt Mirotic or McDermott did either. Guys didn't exactly clamor for him to stay. I agree. There was definitely a significant stretch where the team mailed it in last season.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 12:19 PM) Gar wanted us to believe they stopped listening to Thibs last year, but I don't believe that for a second. As far as I can tell, they haven't ever even started listening to Fred. By the way, I do agree, that injuries have played a pretty critical role in this losing streak. Wilbon was on about a day ago saying the roster isn't near as bad as the record and other teams feel Bulls roster is talented. But he went on to say we have major leadership issues (and ultimately I also think we have major coaching issues to go along with the injuries). Butler MJD Mirotic Noah Plus: Some games missed by Rose, Pau, Hinrich, Aaron Brooks. This is absolutely true. If you think about it what you think other teams around the NBA would look like if you removed their best player, plus a couple of other starters, and key reserves? I can also agree with the second part as this team, even when it was close to healthy, had way too many nights where it didn't show up. Look, I am of the opinion that the bridge to Thibs was done. It was burnt down and over. I get why the coaching move was made. But nothing about Fred Hoiberg has impressed me, even with the obvious injury caveats included.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 01:57 AM) I think the gay life is a lot different in reality than we've been told on TV shows, etc. It sounds like a big orgy type situation. Whitesoxjr27 is telling us some wild stuff that gay life is more about sex sex sex than the stuff we've been sold about gay marriage, etc. How the hell would any males stay married with this desire for sex being the only factor in gay relationships according to whitesoxjr?? Has the public been sold a bill of goods thinking gay lifestyle is basically the same as hetero lifestyle? Same goals of marriage, raising kids, having a picket fence, etc?? In all my time on Soxtalk this is literally one of the worst posts I have ever read on here. You should be ashamed for have even typed it, whether trolling or serious.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 09:19 AM) http://espn.go.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/...0-prospects-mlb Law has Tim Anderson at #45. These are some notes: Came to baseball late, already having success at AA is a testament to outsized athletic abilities. Law asks if he's an 8-9 hole hitter or top of the order bat. Plus-Plus runner, good actions at SS. Magallanes really helped him in this regard. Overly aggressive approach and poor pitch recognition. Law says that the player Anderson is now is a big leaguer that projects as bottom of order bat that hits .280 with low OBP, Above average defense at SS and a ton of stolen bases. Law says Anderson has the potential to be "so much more" if he develops any plan at the plate. Says he needs another year in the minor leagues. That is a huge difference in just one year defensively. If he can keep making strides, wow.

QUOTE (Coach @ Feb 11, 2016 -> 07:42 AM) Ozzie is managing the Venzuela team. Does anyone think this is a move to get him back on the Sox when Ventura is fired/contract not renewed at the end of this season? The Sox next manager will be sitting next to Robin on the bench.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 11:51 AM) Sanders beats Clinton by 20+ percentage points. But thanks to the super-delegate system, Clinton actually won more delegates, 15-13. Totally messed up system. So Sanders out earned Clinton, but has less to show for it than Clinton who didn't earn it? Sounds like the delegate system took some clues from Sanders economic ideas.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 03:14 PM) Somewhat surprising Lou Canellis on DRose sitting out on Monday. I totally agree. “I’ll never question a player who says he’s hurt, but sore! Everyone at the end of a seven-game road trip has general soreness. Rose’s teammates needed him last night. No Butler, no Noah, no Mirotic and desperate for a win. Sore, smarting or sick—this team needed it’s hottest player. They’re free-falling right out of the playoff picture. The Bulls had no shot without Rose, and they knew it. They were defeated at the tip, giving up 38 first-quarter points to a below-five-hundred team. “Defense is about effort, not talent. So quit making excuses for Rose. He should have been out there.” Pop does it, he is a freaking genius...

QUOTE (almagest @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 03:55 PM) They could easily go last to first if they decide to trade Trout, and I wonder about that - he's probably the best player in baseball, but that team is getting old and bad fast. He's also going to get very expensive over the next couple years, and he won't be providing the insane surplus value he does right now. I know we often laugh off Chris Sale trade suggestions, but I wonder if the long-term health of the Angels franchise would be better if they trade Trout. There is no surplus value in this deal, unless you want to price Trout at say $40 million per year. At any rate, there are only a few teams that could take on the last few years of that deal without it hurting the rest of their payroll. 2016 24 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $16,083,000 2017 25 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $20,083,000 2018 26 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $34,083,000 2019 27 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $34,083,000 2020 28 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim $34,085,000

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Feb 10, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) He's going to the Braves, it's been known that they had a deal in place for a long time. Kiley McDaniel broke that news. I know a lot of the top talent is coming from Venezuela, I know a lot of teams have left the country to the to political/social tensions and the certain possibility that the country defaults and I wonder how this affects the market. If I were running a INTL department, I would send more scouts/buscones there because I could get premier talent for pennies on the dollar. The teams are more worried about their staffs' safety in a lawless collapsed country. It is also worth noting that one of the Sox bigger signings was from Venezuela last year. I don't know if that means they have a presence there, or if it was just luck, or what.
