Anyway I don't see the Shark getting anything over $16-$18M for 4 years. from the Sox. Look at our history with John Danks. I suppose you might se a contract with a rising price tag since Danks comes off the books in what two years? But, we will need extra money to pay Sale at some point. He turned down a bigger deal from teh Cubs.

Winos are entertaining.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 11:00 AM) Its not like they "gave up' all that talent, they couldnt afford to keep everyone. Bingo. When you are top loaded with 3 superstars in Hossa, Toews, and Kane, you literally can't afford to keep all of the good players you develop.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 10:16 AM) I know they have offered him less, but I believe this is the target his people are aiming at. I am sure they are. I am speaking from the White Sox point of view.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 09:16 AM) Rumors floating that Bosh has a blood clot in his lung and they will announce today that he is done for the season. Scary stuff Whoa. Hopefully he is OK.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) I just don't think this is true or smart. I don't want to sacrifice 1 entire year of control of a stud Boras client that will be in his prime for an extra month and a half in the big leagues. Rodon is ticketed for Charlotte and it's the right call regardless of what the White Sox say. If the White Sox feel that Rodon is pitching well enough to be the potential difference between winning and losing the division, Rodon will be on the roster.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 20, 2015 -> 09:41 AM) We should hear today just about every player is in the greatest shape of their lives. The had Gillaspie on CSN yesterday. He drove 18 hours straight from Kansas and arrived yesterday. Why wouldn't you break that up a little bit? If I had to guess at anyone on the White Sox team that would be the person to drive 18 straight hours to get to spring training, it would be Connor.

It is Oscar Gamble days until pitchers and catchers report.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 10:40 PM) Just because the arm isn't ready, doesn't mean the rest of his doesn't need its work.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 09:23 PM) I'd guess 5/140ish with an option if I was a betting man. That is free agent money. No point in signing that deal. At that point your best hope is to let him walk out and hope that he has the Shields experience of waiting too long to sign.

Happy Days are here again!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 03:00 PM) Do you guys tip on take out orders? Usually no, but it depends a lot on the place.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 1h1 hour ago The Chicago Bulls are a VERY significant contender for Kendrick Perkins too, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I don't remember the deadline being this active before. But like usual, the Bulls sat and watched.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 03:01 PM) I think this is still a team looking big picture though. I would be beyond surprised if Rodon breaks camp with the Sox in any fashion unless he is absolutely flawless. I'm not saying it is an automatic thing. I am saying if he pitches well enough, especially if others don't, he will get a job.

Unbelievable.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 02:40 PM) That's like when the White Sox had Carlos Lee in LF and his brother Carlos Lee was playing catcher in the minors. We also had the Joshua Fields Forever problem (3B and RP)

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) I disagree, but we'll see. Duke and Jennings have locked positions, and it's not likely they go with three lefties. I'm thinking he'll start in the minors for at least 6 weeks, and then if there's a need somewhere, he'll be ready to come up. The Sox are back in win now mode. If Rodon pitches like he can, they will make a space for him, somewhere.

QUOTE (flavum @ Feb 19, 2015 -> 02:18 PM) I think it would take an injury for Rodon to make the team out of spring training. If he has a big spring, he breaks the team in the pen, if there isn't a spot in the rotation that can be stolen.
