QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 10:38 AM) I really don't see the Sox trading Q, I was just throwing that out there. The Dodgers have been very adamant in keeping certain prospects like Seager, Pederson, Urias and De Leon. I'm with on bringing back TT. I like his game and should be a fine fourth outfielder but I can't come up with a trade package that the Dodgers might be interested in. Was hoping for something where the Sox offer to take on all of Ethier's contract and get Thompson for....... well, that's where I'm stuck. And the White Sox have been pretty straight forward about keeping Adams, Fulmer, and Anderson. Unless LAD is desperate to move Ethier, I have a hard team seeing it work.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 09:35 AM) I agree that Clinton and Gingrich were (or are) better. But I do think Obama is quite good - far better than his predecessor for example. And far better than most of the current Prez candidates in either party. In my lifetime there is no doubt that Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton are head and shoulders above the rest.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 09:46 AM) He doesn't really have any reason to lie signing as a 16-year old. Unless he is saying he's older to be able to sign quicker. Agreeed. He would fall under the same rules if he was 16/17 or 18.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 11:36 PM) You're not kidding. I thought they were going to find a way to blow it and they nearly did. All's well that ends (sorta) well. Good to win without Jimmy! It is always great when you are so healthy you have Kirk, Etwaan, and company closing out a game.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Feb 4, 2016 -> 07:20 AM) LOL - yeah, that shoe string budget that poor, 'ol Uncle Jer operates under. How he manages to make ends meet continues to impress! You are welcome!

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 06:54 PM) Ethier and Desmond would be my preferred route. Avi platoon with Eitheir. Saladino platoon with LaRoche, moving Abreu, Lawrie, or Frazier (or Desmond) to DH on that day. There is zero chance of that. The White Sox have no where near the resources to pull that off.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 10:55 PM) I don't disagree with that, just don't agree with winning builds team chemistry. Winning helps but it didn't help in the case of at least four known players to have problems with Puig. On one occasion Puig and Grienke had to be separated and on another occasion Puig and Turner had to be seperated. Obviously he didn't get along well with some of his teammates, or his own sister for that matter. Puig is a problem the Sox don't need. Trying working in a place with a bunch of assholes. It makes a difference.

Why not Puig? Because the Sox don't want to give up Fulmer and Anderson.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) This, coupled with the notes with the numbers you included on Desmond, make me really think that the Sox are best suited to sign both Desmond and Jackson. Improve outfield defense, base running, and overall offense while sacrificing some defense at SS. I think I can live with that. I wonder what Jackson is even looking for in terms of a contract. I have barely heard anything about him. At the very least you know he will catch the ball and run into one occasionally.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 01:43 PM) I've read he could sign next week. I read before that he can sign Feb 10th, and that expectations were that it would be pretty quick after that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 01:41 PM) So basically either way if you were to pick which one to put in CF it's a coin flip. Hillary approves.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 12:57 PM) I would put Fowler in CF, Eaton in RF, and keep Melky in LF. If the team stays reasonably healthy and the key players can avoid the DL, it contends with any team in the AL Central. I think if Fowler is signed, Eaton makes the most sense for RF.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 12:53 PM) Fowler > Garcia, therefore Fowler improves the defense. Either Fowler or Ethier really improves the team. Each one brings something that Garcia has not brought to this point.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 3, 2016 -> 12:05 PM) Even if the Sox signed Fowler, the outfield would be overcrowded. Obviously him, Melky, and Eaton are guaranteed spots, but beyond that, you have Shuck, Avi, and Sands all fighting for the 4th outfielder role. Personally, I'd like the Sox to sign Fowler. Then Fowler, Melky, Eaton, and Shuck would be the outfielders on the big league team and Avi and Sands would be in Charlotte to start the year. If the Sox signed Fowler, then maybe Shuck doesn't make the final roster, though I doubt it. Sands is on the outside looking in for an injury or something big happening.
