QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 11:59 AM) Hot take: Leftovers is the best show airing on TV right now, and i'm not sure it's very close. This season has been interesting so far. Really loved the rock throwing finish last night.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 12:14 PM) MILB contracts mean nothing. If he sucks, you release him. I don't think anyone is penciling him into the 2016 starting lineup. Never hurts to bring someone into camp on a minor league deal and invite.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) you never finished my question.... typical. If Sano is in LF, that means he isn't at 1B or DH...

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:46 AM) He seems okay with it. I think there would have been harsh words from both sides if this was going to court. I mean the payout of a severance for a guy who was fired. Rauner and company have been stopping them down state. They are the ones who write the checks. http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20150922/news/150929718/

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 09:25 AM) Regardless of what their press report says, I think we can all assume it was the report that did him in. It's no coincidence they're releasing it today. They probably just agreed to pay his severance package rather than have another court case. Yeah, I wouldn't be too sure of that holding up down state.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Nov 9, 2015 -> 08:51 AM) Mark another team off the list: White Sox are not the winners in the Byung-Ho Park sweepstakes.. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/663730120750837766 Eh, I think I am OK with that. A Mark Reynolds comp doesn't get me excited.

Really seems like Pitt.

QUOTE (whtsoxfan @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 02:33 PM) Cubs Pursuing Samardzija http://www.bleachernation.com/2015/11/08/r...utual-interest/ That would almost be too perfect. They would lose their pick, we would gain one, and they would have to live with that contract.

f***ing Boston fans.

BUT HE DOESN'T HAVE A PLAN!??!?!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 8, 2015 -> 04:23 PM) Kang got 2.5 for 4. I don't know why you'd offer him a lot more than that. If he asks for 40 million, tell him he can go back to Korea, lol. Because Kang was WAY underpriced because of the uncertiainty of how he would make it in MLB>

Peter Gammons Verified account ‏@pgammo 5m5 minutes ago Common comp on Byung-ho Park:Mark Reynolds, with the potential for better hit tool

Teams ruled out BAL, CLE, DET, SD, TEX, LAA, BOS, OAK, A lot of Pirate fans on twitter posting they "heard" it was them, FWIW.

Supposedly Red Sox have been very interested.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 03:38 PM) Complaining that the President of Baseball Ops said he is working on a plan like it is a 5th grade science fair project. If you read that statement as we have no plans at all for this off-season, and eventually we will get together and make one, I can't see a worse way to read that. The common sense way to read that is they are seeing who all is available this winter to decide what their top priorities are.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 03:28 PM) Levine has already reported that Samardzija will decline. There really isn't news with Samardjiza until we start hearing which teams are bidding for him, and how much they are willing to pay

He should have just taken sniper fire over Bosnia...

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) She may have felt sexually violated. I'm not sure. All I'm saying is, backlash against these kinds of accusers are generally frowned upon, because most cases like these (rape) go unreported. And the responses in this thread are exactly why.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 11:52 AM) Saladino and Sanchez are starters. Not unless their offense improves, a lot. They had OPS+ of 68 and 66 respectively. Even Alexei was at 79.

If we were to spend $40 million this off season, we would target at least one higher end player. I still think our big move this winter will be via trade.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 6, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) By that line of reasoning, KW should have a permanent seat as GM/president. It also discounts the incredible helpfulness of playing in two consecutive World Series/es for a fanbase. Those win numbers quoted, not unsurprisingly, don't include the postseason and 11 extra wins that perhaps are just a bit more important than regular season games. Consistent performance. Not part of the Sox history. If we got to the World Series again in 2006, we wouldn't now have to read hundreds of posts blaming White Sox fans for their current situation. We all should appreciate Ozzie, Cooper, Hahn and KW more for their contributions in 2004-2006. Got it. And we should also ignore one of the biggest media markets in the US vs. one of the smallest and compare them as if they should be on equal footing somehow. Except the Sox aren't exclusive in the Chicago market. Divided up at about 2 to 1, the Sox market is probably fairly close to a team like Kansas City which has the great plains to draw from.
