If he just defected, he is months away from being able to sign.

Daryl Van Schouwen Verified account ‏@CST_soxvan 2h2 hours ago per @JonHeyman White Sox and Brett Lawrie agree at $4.125M

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 09:00 PM) This is what I hope the Sox eventually do with Lawrie and maybe even Frazier at some point. Anyway.... Smart move by the Marlins extending Gordon and at pretty cheap price too. Hell of a lead bat and plays excellent 2B. It takes two to tango, and the White Sox are one of the leaders in these types of deals. If it isn't getting done, odds are the player doesn't want to do it.

I could make Chicago/Louisville/Cleveland for sure.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) I'd be very surprised if he's been driving home and back after every single home game, especially when a day game follows a night game. Supposedly he does.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 02:05 PM) DA, I think this happens every year. I love Farmer and DJ. I have 2-3 gutbusting laughs from their sense of humor per game. When a really intense part of a game occurs, I find DJs breakdown of hitter and pitcher thought process incredibly exciting and insightful. But for everyone else, it's just "he's so dry and doesn't say the score enough". I never notice. Once they got past the awkward stage, DJ and Farmer really are a good pairing.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 01:06 PM) That's probably right. Rank: 1. Hossa - was signed as the piece to get us over the hump. That happened. 2. Jermaine Dye - from FA signing to top 5 MVP voting 3. Julius Peppers - DPOY and got bears to NFCC 4. AJP Don't follow cubs much. Maddux? Carlton Fisk probably deserves a mention. Maddux was drafted by the Cubs, Andre Dawson would probably be their number 1 as of now.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:54 AM) The 3 home games he's doing are the Cubs games. He actually has a harder travel schedule for home games rather than away games. Pretty sure he has to commute to and from Indiana for every game. I remember someone on here saying it's 2-3 hours each way. Google Granger Indiana.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:47 AM) Hawk and Stone on the road and 3 home games, Benetti and Stone for all other home games. You'd think Hawk would rather do home games and cut out the travel. Wonder what 3 home games Hawk will be doing. Cubs? Or maybe the series where Stone takes off for Yom Kippur? Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 28m28 minutes ago Why is Hawk only doing road games? He lives two hours from Chicago and commutes every day. Easier to just go on the road. #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:21 AM) No real details. Awesome news about Hawk though. Glad he's continuing on. I am with you.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:08 AM) Steve Stone also gets an extension. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:14 AM) Huh. I thought he was phasing out. Also worth noting, I have yet to see anything about Steve Stone getting an extension. D'oh.

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jan 13, 2016 -> 10:07 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 12s12 seconds ago Also, Hawk Harrelson, who does all road games and three at home, receives a multi-year extension. #WhiteSox Huh. I thought he was phasing out. Also worth noting, I have yet to see anything about Steve Stone getting an extension.

We do have two roster spots if he makes it through waivers and we want him back.

The ending of an era. It really makes me sad to think that the guy who has been the soundtrack of my fanhood is leaving.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 10:10 PM) Q on Scotty Bowman's win record "He's safe" He'd need 10 more years, if he was lucky.

Hossa with 4 points over the last 1 and 2/3 games.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 06:07 PM) Sounds like the Rams and Chargers are headed to Los Angeles You knew the NFL would screw the Raiders if they could.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 4m4 minutes ago Sources: #Tigers among teams talking to #Rockies, who have surplus of LH hitting outfielders. Precise target for DET unclear; no deal close.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) I'm aware, I was referring to the strong possibility of Swirsky taking over for Hawk Strong possibility? Since when? Is there a rumor I am not aware of?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 03:56 PM) Hopefully he's a good fit here. With Hawk taking more time off, I'm not looking forward to hearing Swirsky play a game of 200 Questions every home game with Stoney This is not the PBP job. This the radio pre-game and post game show host. He is doing Chris Rongey's job, not Hawks.

Jesse Sanchez ‏@JesseSanchezMLB 8m8 minutes ago Sources: RHP Yaisel Sierra to the #Dodgers is done, pending physical. The deal is 6 years/$30 million. #Cuba

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 12, 2016 -> 02:35 PM) Frankly, if they can't get a Fulmer level player for him as the centerpiece of a multi-player deal they should hold him until the deadline. Would you be willing to spend $18.5 million Gonzalez over each of the next two years on the open market? (I don't know why I was under the impression his contract was a lot smaller than this) If yes, would the difference between what you would be willing to give him and what he is getting worth six years of Fulmer? Somehow I feel like Gonzalez return should be more like the return for Todd Frazier, maybe less.
