That is true.

Really?

Scout would bet on the White Sox this year. http://chicago.suntimes.com/baseball/7/71/...cubs-scouts-say

Probably not.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 10:52 AM) Are they going to kick other QBs out of the league though? Guys do this every week. QB's get the balls aired up to their liking and basically force the officials to call them on it. This goes on a ton. If they are multiple offenders, absolutely. It is no different than altering a baseball. It is done regularly, but if caught, there should be a penalty. The penalty should also be bigger if caught cheating before.

Have you tried Ebay? I know I have found some amazing historical items like this from my hometown all of the way back to the 19th century. It is hit or miss, but that might be a place to look.

No way anyone wants to remember this mess.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 08:57 AM) I'd either take 1sts and 2nds for the next three years or if they REALLY wanted to drop the hammer: No picks this year. None. It should have an effect like the Joe Smith - Timberwolves penalty. Thinking back to the penalties New Orleans got hit with for their bounties, I think the penalty should be people in the organization getting suspended. Kick Belichek out for a year, like happened to NO. If you find out anyone else was involved, suspend them as well.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) I think you're right that the team has holes and lacks depth, but now you're seeing why so many of us were/are hesitant to "push the chips in" so soon. I think many of us often forget that there's only so much a GM can accomplish over a given period of time. You can't just say "I want that guy" and pay up -- other parties have to agree to contract condition and trade proposals, and things are ALWAYS more complicated than we assume from the fan perspective. The best way to look at this team is that it's definitely good enough to contend. Yes, most things are going to need to go well. Yes, an injury or two could derail it. But this signals a period of time where Rick Hahn is planning (and will be expected) to put a competitive team on the field every year that he holds his job. But you're going to be able to find holes. You're not likely to be able to go into a season confident that every position looks awesome. The big thing here is that nothing we have done so far weakened our prospects in the future. No key pieces of the team were given up. No ridiculous contracts were signed. The worst thing we did it potentially handicap the ability to spend more dollars in 2015. What we did was to open up our window a year, maybe even two years, early. We opened that window and left ourselves the type of squad is going to be looking to win for the next few years. Is it perfect? No. But then again no team in the AL Central is perfect. The leaders all have major holes.

QUOTE (skobabe8 @ Jan 21, 2015 -> 08:10 AM) Awesome! Have a great time, raBBit. Make sure you close down the hotel bar every night. That's where the stories are! Agreed. Some great nights have been had at Soxfests of long ago in the hotel bar.

It is 2015, not 2018. WAY to early to think about an extension.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 20, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) At the end of the day, I think the Sox and Cubs are in remarkably similar situations at the MLB level. We can compare all we want to, but the one thing that seems to separate the two teams is the top of the rotation. Both teams appear to be fairly promising next year. The big difference is that the Sox talent is WAY more proven than the Cubs.
