QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) why the hell are we still giving tax breaks for movies. If one entity is doing it, they all will. TIF money is the same way.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 11:34 AM) I hate Cowley too. People are kidding themselves if they think he doesn't have sources though. He's not the only one to say that Noah and Taj are on the block. I am guesses his sources begin and end with the Ex-head coach, much like happened with the White sox.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:25 PM) Haven't heard them mentioned at all in connection with Aiken but that would be a KW move, in my book. But all I hear about his TJ was that it wasn't a normal TJ, that there was something else as well, w/o specifics. With the lack of solid info on Aiken, I have to put faith in the organization to do their research. If they don't pick him, they don't think he is worth the additional risk. Even if he works out down the road, I would be OK with that. Without a 2nd or 3rd round pick, having a bust for a 1st rounder would be a huge problem.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:10 PM) We will see tonight until then nobody knows for sure. Then why are you preemptively complaining about it?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:08 PM) Do DFA claims have to be placed on the 40 man roster? Yes. And depending on the players option status, there is a good chance at the 25 man roster as well, without exposing him to waivers again.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:07 PM) When I hear certain teams are looking to draft at a discount in the top ten, it is very relevent in today's discussion. None of those rumored teams have been the White Sox. Arizona, Houston, and the Cubs are the ones who are the prominent headliners. That would be the Cubs and Astros who also did this last year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) The way he's hitting right now his contract is the most unmovable on the team. Not with John Danks on this roster.

I just posted this in the MLB thread. I would not be surprised at all see the Sox take a flyer on him.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:03 PM) Only because of the change in 2012 CBA.............The saving money strategy was in full effect 2008 to 2012, it failed badly. Get the best guy at 8 and stop the discount nonsense. They haven't done this for years. Let it go.

Now this is the kind of guy I could see the Sox trying to rebuild. Bill Shaikin ‏@BillShaikin 35s35 seconds ago #Astros DFA Chatsworth HS alum Matt Dominguez. He turned down long-term deal when HOU tried to lock him up "cheap." Ends up losing millions.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) Sox have been awful when drafting on the cheap and saving a few dollars. This is why the system is in the shambles it is in now. Sox cannot even call up a decent 4th OF. This hasn't been the truth for years now.

With the Sox track record, I want them drafting pitchers until proven otherwise.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:54 AM) If the Sox did pick him, where would Eaton go in a few years when Benintendi is in the Big Leagues? You never, ever, draft with that kind of stuff in mind.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:42 AM) http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/66...akim-noah-moved I hope they can move Noah. \ And then I closed the article.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 09:19 AM) I guess we disagree. Both Danks and Samardzija would cost 30M+ next season and both have ERA's hovering around 5 at the moment, no thanks. I'd bet dollar to donuts that Samardjiza doesn 't have an era of 5 at the end of the year.

So who will the Sox take? Who will be the #1 pick? Who will be the guy that everyone should have taken, but missed out on? All those questions will be answered right here.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) I think Semien would have the 3rd highest ops+ on the team. Thanks, Rick. Good job. Good lord, could you have imagined his defense on this infield?

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 07:10 PM) Here's a potential problem. What if Samardzija accepts the qualifying offer? That is a best case scenario unless he is awful the entire year. If that is the case, they won't offer anyway.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 05:39 PM) For someone who keeps referring to a so-called "fickle" fan base, how ironic that you are here criticizing the diehards for expressing some frustration on the current state of our last place ball club. Die hard? lol. More like ready to jump off a bridge on a daily basis.

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 04:51 PM) LOL! Yes, how unreasonable for White Sox fans to come to a White Sox message board and post statements and opinions that resemble complaints on a day when the last place White Sox played another disappointing game. I mean, god forbid! For someone who keeps referring to 35 years of misery, yet are still around to complain on a daily basis, there isn't much more that really needs to be said.

QUOTE (venom4789 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 04:30 PM) When you waste half your day watching your team suck people will complain. im sure if this team becomes more productive the complaining willstop. lol.

There are some miserable people here today. Get off of the computer and do something more productive than complaining!

QUOTE (Condor13 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 03:52 PM) So should we get rid of flowers too? And Jose Quitana...
