It is pretty arrogant to hold a press conference, but have the guy not answer anything related to what everyone wants to talk about. If that is the case, just release as statement saying that because of the on-going proceedings he can't talk to the press, but will once everything is resolved. What happened today was the worst of both worlds.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) Probably because Saladino is going to be moved over a few feet. If that were the case, they would have benched Alexei.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 02:57 PM) Olt's supposed to have GG caliber defense. I know I've said this a few times, but I'm thrilled they don't seem to think Saladino is the 3B of the future. Yeah, Tyler has played, but they sure dropped him like a bad habit when someone marginally better came along. I have no doubt in my mind that the top of Hahn's To Do list this winter is a 3B.

Colleen Kane ‏@ChiTribKane 36m36 minutes ago Olt's homer estimated at 443 feet. Now has 3 for the year, 1 with the Cubs, 2 with the Sox.

Lauren Jiggetts ‏@laurenjiggetts 13m13 minutes ago Mark Potash: "Are you going to stop drinking?" Kane: "There is legal matter going on. I can't answer that."

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) As I recall, Management was all for Ozzie negotiating something with Florida in order to get rid of him. Unless you have a link with some quotes, I call BS. Prove it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 02:20 PM) Yep, looks like it landed right behind the last row of seats down the LF line. Yeah, that was well hit. If nothing else, the kid is STRONG. That is about 850 to 900 feet worth of homers in the last two days. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/8878818/v4858...-field/?cid=cws

Olt apparently just went to the concourse according to Ed and DJ.

MLB ‏@MLB 26s26 seconds ago Hall of Fame broadcaster Milo Hamilton, who called MLB games for 60 years, dies at 88. http://atmlb.com/1F4VXuh

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 01:24 PM) Thompson healthy obviously and I think Eaton should play no matter what because he's still young and part of the core. But, I get its a day off. If Thompson was healthy, I have no doubt he would have been in there.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) That lineup is gross QUOTE (Knackattack @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 01:02 PM) I'd be pretty pissed to see this team trot onto the field if I paid to go to the park. Realistically, these are the guys who should be playing right now anyway.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:56 AM) The CNN debate was horribly ran by the moderators and didn't even compare to the FoxNews debate. That said, the candidates were much more aggressive in this debate. But Greg, Meghan Kelly is fantastic at what she does and the way Trump has handled her after is just despicable and goes back to a testament as to how he is. Would anyone think it is a good idea if Trump treated other world leaders the way he treats people he didn't like? In what world is that a good idea. I don't understand the Trump fascination (other then pure entertainment value for how dumb he is). It is despicable. Politics has moved from speeches, to clips, to blurbs, to tweets, and now to meme's. At some point we started decided candidates by who had the best quotes instead of things like policy and the like. Trump is a quote machine, for those who like to decide by simple things, he is ideal. People get what they deserve.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 11:11 AM) i stated that it was an rumor that was discussed. whether the source is credible or not. until it is disproved, it is still a viable rumor. now, i am not making up opinions and basing everything on the assumption, which that person was doing. now can you see the difference. i am not taking liberties and digging for a way to make a point ...... I can see the value in the conversation, but I don't agree with the distinction you are making. It is no different than any other assumption based on a rumor that gets discussed here.

QUOTE (LDF @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 11:05 AM) the second one was a rumor.... on how things unfolded. i am not making up the rumor. i am repeating it, which was discuss at length on this thread several weeks ago. so what is so confusing???? this is a msg board, you are an admin person and you should know there are many rumors flying around. His point is that you are making an assumption, based on a rumor, but you are telling people not to make assumptions. You don't see how that is contradictory?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:34 AM) I would love to know the thought process behind it. This doesn't excuse Samardzija's terrible pitching this year but I found this really odd and Cooper probably deserve a good amount of blame for just how bad Samardzjia has been. I doubt it. Cooper and all of the minor league coaches preach standing tall and throwing downhill. It is the organizational philosophy. Nothing about it sounds like Don Cooper. Honestly if the stories about Cooper and Samardjiza not getting along are true, it makes absolutely sense that Samardjiza is doing one thing, throwing from a lower arm angle, while Cooper is trying to get him back up into the over the top arm slot. That could well be the source of conflict.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:33 AM) No one probably wants Bickell Which is why he is still here. See also Danks, John.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:29 AM) Viciedo was a 3B that was moved to the OF. Not the other way around. This. He played 3rd in Cuba.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:12 AM) They also just got done playing 3 months ago. I know Duncan Keith is a cyborg, but some of your most important players are gonna have some tired legs. That's why it's so hard to repeat. Tired legs, a lot of changes, a lot of if's, plus the obvious off ice stuff... Too many questions for me to call them the favorite.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) Depends, if Dano is playing with Toews and Hossa then I think its very doable. He had 21 points in 35 games on a bad Colombus team. He probably also got a lot more minutes and opportunities then he will get here. Chicago has a lot of good players.

QUOTE (Knuckles @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 12:51 AM) Yahoo Sources: Free-agent guard Jordan Crawford reaches agreement on a deal with the Chicago Bulls. That is nice depth.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 12:32 AM) Aside from the Kane stuff, this is the most interested I've been in a Hawks season probably the last five years. I know that sounds crazy, but it's fun having so many questions and potential in the lineup, and if they don't win in the next two years, the pressure is off. Dano-Toews-Hossa Panarin-Anisimov-Kane Bickell-Teuvo-Tikhonov Desjardins-Kruger-Shaw Keith-Seabs Hammer-Daley TVR-Hejda(hopefully) Love the youth injected into the lineup and seeing who can develop playing along side a bunch of future HOF's. Some aren't going to pan out, others are. Really excited to watch the ups and downs. Don't get me wrong, it should be a fun year, but I just don't see them going back to back after all of the changes. Those things take a while to work out in hockey. They should be a top team and all.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Sep 16, 2015 -> 11:05 PM) If Dano is a 50 point player and Kane is innocent, this team is better on paper than last. Odds of those both happening are? Not too high for me just on the first one.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 09:22 AM) He is also throwing way more cutters this year and way less 2 seam fastballs. I'm not really sure why the Sox decided to change his pitching style so much or why they haven't tried to have him go back to what was successful for him last year but I wonder if that has played a role in his struggles as well. His arm angle really seems to have dropped down. He went from being pretty high, to throwing almost like post surgery Jake Peavy.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Sep 17, 2015 -> 08:49 AM) I didn't mean it in a bad way. It was something along the lines of "please learn how to hit a high fastball so you can become a star player". It wasn't rude at all. He just can't take criticism. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
