QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 05:40 PM) We have a chance to have something very special in the rotation as soon as next year...don't ruin it. Beck, Micah, Danish, Avi, Hawkins...those are the 5 I would be looking to package for a bat, preferably 3B. And I think some kind of package involving at least 3 of those guys can get us a pretty good hitter. Combine that trade with 1 smart free agent signing and I think we will be in a much better position to compete with a bounce back year or 2. My suggestions in the "my offseason plan" thread was to use some form of the 5 guys I listed to trade for Todd Frazier and then make a signing like Daniel Murphy. CF- Eaton 2b- Murphy 3b- Melky 1b- Abreu 3b- Frazier Looks like a pretty good top 5 imo and completely feasible. Trading a guy like Q would be a last ditch effort if we aren't competing by the ASG next year. I don't think we are far enough away to do that at the moment though. No is taking a group of middling prospects and players all coming off of down years and giving you anything other than crap for them.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 04:13 PM) Whyd the benches clear? Still unclear what was said, but Donaldson and Kela had some words back and forth and started walking towards each other.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 02:44 PM) This past year was a step in the right direction. The fact that we got contributions from multiple position players that were drafted/signed of Latin America and fully developed by the White Sox organization, including at least two guys who are probably going to be competing for starting jobs in 2016 means that we have gone a long way in the right direction, even though it hasn't really been acknowledged by the fans. This is completely leaving out that we churn out pitching from our system like it is going out of style.

QUOTE (3GamesToLove @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) There were some. That's where the term "Bisoxual" came from. Roeper talks about it in his book. There were some. The difference is there wasn't the obnoxious media campaign about it. No one really cared. Today it is a news story.

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 01:17 PM) Well it's fun to hate them during the crosstown (and their fans) and God help us if there were ever a World Series between us but with us out of it, I don't know what hoping for them to fail achieves. Look at one thing: if they do win it all this year, at least people will finally SHUT UP about it already, being 100 years+. For that alone I totally support them winning. So their fans will STFU, LOL. You think them winning will shut them up? LOL!

Apparently I needed more green.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 12:20 PM) I don't care what your stance is towards Republicans in general or any candidate in specific, this is uncalled for from a supposed mainstream magazine. And it would be equally uncalled for is the name was changed to Hillary or Obama. http://www.gq.com/story/f***-ben-carson It is just proof of the latent racism in the Democratic party.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 11:40 AM) The only thing more annoying then cubs fans are the sox fans who feel the need to lecture you on why you shouldn't root for the cubs to lose. Just kidding, they aren't more annoying, but annoying nonetheless. Don't let the Cubs patrol read that.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Oct 9, 2015 -> 11:17 AM) Agreed. He'll have the entire offseason now to rest and heal. I'd be very surprised if he wasn't pitching somewhere next year, unless he just doesn't want to do it anymore. Surely some team would want him. Buehrle has said repeatedly he didn't see himself pitching forever.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 07:06 PM) And how many new guys are in the lineup. With all the line juggling Q does during a game anyway, it's going to take a while for everyone to get comfortable with each other with 8-9 new guys in the lineup. But what's the fun in that. EVERYONE FREAK OUT!!!111 The last time we saw this many changes in the Hawks was after the 2010 cup. The 2011 team was still at .500 after a quarter of the season. They started out 11-11-2. The last 3/4 of the season they went 33-18-7. In hockey it takes a while to adjust to changes, especially when the bottom third of the team just turned over, and a couple of key contributors. I expect this year to look pretty similar.

Where was all of this One City bulls*** 10 years ago? Cub fans have the most gigantic inferiority complex of any sport out there. Somehow if you aren't rooting for them you are an orphan kicking puppy killing communist listening to nickleback. Get over it.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 10:05 PM) I'd bet Han probably gets offers for Quintana at least once a week. Does Jabba want him?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) Yep, I had the same idea a few months ago. Both are in the top 100 with Montas #54 and McMahon #50. Sox need a 3B and the Rockies need pitching. One hangup could be that the Rockies might be looking to slide McMahon over to 1B after Morneau's contract is finished after '16. Only problem is that the trade does nothing to help the '16 team since McMahon doesn't project to be ready until '17. I don't see Montas helping the Sox in '16 either, especially as a starter.
