The Red Sox would be an interesting partner for Q http://meadowparty.com/blog/2015/10/08/klawchat-10815/

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) White Sox path to the World Series: 1. Score more runs 2. Give up less runs So simple, I don't know why they haven't tried it. IF ONLY I HAD THOUGHT OF THAT!

Richard Justice ‏@richardjustice 16m16 minutes ago MLB parity update: 6 of top 8 payroll teams missed postseason.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 01:49 PM) Forgot about him. Well, with this year being a disaster, and Cubs on a real high, I feel that the Front office will have to go to extremes to win fans back. Whether they like it or not.............it Starts with eating 15 mil. It isn't happening. They either trade him, or bring him back to see if he has a rebound year.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 12:24 PM) This isn't true. He can take arbitration on the last 3 years of his deal rather than taking the agreed upon salaries. He's with the White Sox for 6 years regardless. As long as the White Sox don't decline to offer him arbit if he opts out, he is ours.

QUOTE (Coach @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 11:39 AM) You all missed my point so for the last time I will say it again. I never, and I mean never, said Shuck should be the full time DH. But my point was since LaRoche was an automatic out, why not try to shake things up by having Shuck try it. Yes, I know he is a decent OF but for those days he isn't, why not try him in the DH spot. After all, what could happen? The Sox could lose more games and drop to 5th place? So what, they get better draft picks. Now I am done with your assessments since none of us would have known the outcome. Everyone is a freakin genius in hindsight. This isn't highsight. If you have two players who play the same position, and you want to DH one of them, the person who DH's would ALWAYS be the worst defender, unless you are trying to get someone a day of rest off of the field or something like that. In this case, Shuck is a much better defender than Melky or Avi, so one of those guys would be DH, and Shuck would be in the field.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 30m30 minutes ago Phoenix, AZ Courtney Hawkins will not be taking part in the AFL per White Sox. Bothered by plantar fasciitis in left foot. Trey Michalczewski now in

QUOTE (ewokpelts @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 08:07 PM) How? They shed 28 million in player payroll by trading peavy and rios. And abreu' salary is back loaded Big losses in revenue.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 8, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) The Sox should really try unloading LaRoche on the Pirates Judging by how little he played in the last month of the season, and knowing the Pirates history for taking chances on players in his boat when teams are willing to pick up salary, this might actually be a decent fit. I wouldn't expect anymore more than flotsam in the deal, but it could work.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 04:20 PM) Not a big loss in Guerra. I expected that he would get sent off the 40 man. At least Nieto stays in the organization. Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 17h17 hours ago End of regular season means players outrighted during season are electing free agency. Some names coming... Chris Cotillo ‏@ChrisCotillo 17h17 hours ago Hector Noesi (CWS), Javy Guerra (CWS), Sean O'Sullivan (PHI), Todd Redmond (TOR), Jemile Weeks (BOS), Ernesto Frieri (TB) elect free agency. Looks like we'll be losing Guerra and Noesi as well unless they sign minor league deals. No big surprises there either. There will be a big pool of spring training invite type players to pick to load up Charlotte with.

Zach Zaidman ‏@ZachZaidman 1h1 hour ago Rookie C Hroniss Grasu says he took some reps with the first team at #Bears practice today.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1h1 hour ago Phoenix, AZ White Sox having scouting and player development meetings this week at Camelback Ranch. Hahn, Williams, Cooper and Steverson all here.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) Cowley is irrelevant. Since the Guillen's left, he has no source anywhere.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) On a sidenote, you listen to people talk about Jimmy in practice and it is very clear that he's the alpha and he's anointing this his team. And based upon what other players say, it seems that they understand it is becoming his team. Funny how unlikeable Rose is vs. Pau / Buckets / Noah / Taj. Yet Bulls players clearly and utterly protect Rose so that protection has to mean they think relatively positively of him. There is also a s***load of talk already about team leaders this year. That is pretty telling to me.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 02:29 PM) Greg doesn't believe in stats. Greg has his narrative and he's sticking to it. No amount of information could ever make him realize he is wrong. Reminds me of a few of our Presidential candidates...

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 02:51 PM) You are thinking of Onelki Garcia. Junior Guerra pitched 2014 in Italy, and also the VZWL. He's not a big loss - but a loss nonetheless to the system. I think he could have been a good relief arm maybe. Here is our profile on him, if it helps. I didn't get the impression that the Sox thought much of him. Even when he was up here, he barely pitched.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 02:03 PM) Try to sneak them through waivers now before other teams have cleared 40 man spots of their own. And to open up spots for when other teams start conducting their roster management.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 01:52 PM) that was so 3 months ago Well if you are going to be a harsh task manager, you should probably start with your own posts.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) and i have 2 lousy idea on this... i admit it. it is just me. i say don't rest on your laurels .... get to work and what have you done for me lately. i am a harsh task manager, Lately, as in reigning Stanley Cup champs?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 12:43 PM) That was the way I took Hahn's comments at the end of the season too (blaming both the players and themselves). I think we see much more activity than we expected...not all stuff we will like either. With the financial situation, I don't see room for much activity, not if it includes a lot of new spending. Maybe some trades that don't change payroll much.

Tracey Myers ‏@TramyersCSN 2h2 hours ago #Blackhawks lines: 86-19-81, 72-15-88, 29-65-39, 11-16-28. So same as the last few days.

MLB Trade Rumors ‏@mlbtraderumors 44m44 minutes ago Eddy Julio Martinez isn't signing w/Giants, per @keithlaw. He's seeking a $3MM bonus, says @JesseSanchezMLB. Latest: http://bit.ly/1jcjb88

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 11:13 AM) We should bring Soler over to the SouthSide and balance out the disappointing Cubans with Viciedo vs. Abreu/Ramirez. Actually, it would be great to trade them Avi and pieces for Soler but I'm not sure the Cubs would be willing to go for that. At any rate, it will be interesting to see what they eventually end up doing with Castro, Baez, Schwarber and Soler, to name a few. The only way the Cubs and Sox match up is Sox sending a pitcher over for position players.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 10:49 AM) Olin Kreutz mentioned that Grasu may just need to learn about leverage in the NFL. The guy looks small in pads, but he is pretty tall at 6'3" for a center, and is listed at 300lbs. Olin said his first practice first play Mike Wells came across the line in pursuit and completely blasted him onto his back, because he had no idea how to use leverage How did they not see that before they drafted him?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 7, 2015 -> 10:44 AM) I saw a Cub loving media member say LaStella was in the line up to get Cole's pitch count up. Expected him to see 24 pitches in 3 ABs. One thing I found interesting, as bad as the White Sox were this season, they were only 3 games worse vs. AL opponents than Houston. And they were 3 games better than Houston on the road.
