QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) I don't think it's likely at all that we re-sign Samardzija. Hearing his press conference and subsequent interviews shot my confidence level up MUCH higher than it had been.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:39 AM) Oh ok, I missed their organizational meetings. How were they? Yeah, let's just ignore the reality of what they are doing for your fantasy. That makes a lot of sense.

onathan Mayo ‏@JonathanMayoB3 3m3 minutes ago First reported by @JonHeymanCBS, confirmed that Braves getting Max Fried, Mallex Smith, Jace Peterson and Dustin Peterson for J-Upton

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:33 AM) So. Maybe the Padres throw some cash the Rays way and make them their DH. It is the completely opposite of what they are doing now.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) So like 6 years $105 million? 5 years $90 million? Something like that or more? I know he wanted Homer Bailey money before. 6 years $105 million. 6 years and something between 100 and 120 million makes sense. It would still represent a discount in terms of both total dollars and years, but it would be a nice deal for Samardjiza.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 08:16 AM) Wife brag: as of this very moment, my wife is now a college graduate! She has completed an associate's degree in respiratory therapy. Just judging from everybody's posts, I suspect that nearly all of us who have college degrees were fortunate enough to be able to obtain them before acquiring the responsibilities of a spouse and/or children (myself included). My wife started this process when our children were 3 and 2. I don't think I have the discipline required to be able to get a degree under those circumstances. That is pretty awesome.

QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 06:04 AM) Orange Is The New Black and House of Cards are both good, just very different. Scorpion is a lot of fun. Don't go into it expecting anything serious, and you'll enjoy it. Going back a few years, I recently binged on Friday Night Lights, and now I'm watching Chuck. You may have already seen both, but I'd recommend them. I watched both of those early, and liked them a lot. I lost both with kids being born.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 09:34 PM) Do the Bulls lead the league in resurrecting reserve PG careers? Thibs is the Guard Whisperer.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 08:58 AM) The Padres OF surplus is a something. Carlos Quentin in Tampa Bay makes too much sense. Except the Rays are in the middle of a sell off.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) He's played 29 games above A ball. Probably won't be invited to major league camp. Just a minor league transaction. Oops thinking of the wrong Jacobs.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 07:54 PM) Kiley McDaniel ‏@kileymcd 13m13 minutes ago Source: White Sox sign former Dodgers 1B Chris Jacobs to a minor league deal. 25 homers in the Cal League last year. Well, that tells you what the White Sox think of Andy Wilkins.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 09:22 PM) That's why he played fall ball. The guy is also motivated to succeed. Look at his rehab. I said he would be back sooner than projected because he attacked it like a man possessed. I believe in the kid. I have a lot of optimism about Avi because of his rehab. If he takes that approach to his career, he is going to be a really good one.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 08:44 AM) looks like SD got JUP too Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal 30s31 seconds ago #Braves' return from #Padres for Upton figures to include at least one of three top prospects: Renfroe, Wisler or Hedges. Forget the White Sox, the Padres now own "All in".

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 19, 2014 -> 07:17 AM) He's just so awful defensively at catcher, aside from a strong arm. And the org had obviously soured on him, with repeated issues coming up about his game prep and attitude. I'd rather have Flowers. Phegley is a project. That's the best way to put it.

No Rose, No Taj. Noah is in.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) Taking suggestions on the next show to binge watch. I've been considering Boardwalk Empire, Orange is the New Black, House of Cards and Banshee. Didn't see the others, but Boardwalk is worth the watch.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 04:07 PM) Nebraska and Oklahoma sue Colorado over marijuana legalization What happened to State's rights?

QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 02:42 PM) The problem is that we already have offensive holes at C an 3B. You can't expect to be contenders with huge gaps at a third of your positions. In 2014, those aren't the blackholes that you think they are.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 02:38 PM) For the next NINE seasons, which means it's not bargain basement price. He's owed about $120 million; if you can expect him to be productive for 5 years, then you're paying almost $25 million per. Knock it down to $20 mill per and then $5 mill for less productive years and there you have it. Bargain basement price? Hardly. He'd get a good, not great, return. For a guy of Longoria's talent, that is a bargain.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 02:27 PM) And now Paramount has their tail between their legs..... http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/para...campaign=buffer f*** Hollywood. As if I needed another reason to not drop $50 to go see a horrible movie in the theatre.

Loser.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:40 PM) Playing for the scout team likely left Fales completely in the dark when it comes to our offense Jay Cutler has been on the 53 man roster all year and is still in the dark. We are 5-9 and in evaluation mode. Play the kid.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:47 PM) I'd be shocked personally. He's not ready. Not even for the Sox' aggressive promotions is he even close. With the injury time he missed last year, I would imagine he is ticketed for Charlotte.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) Can they send Nieto to minors now? Yes. He spent his time on the major league roster, and is the full property of the Chicago White Sox.

QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:44 PM) The difference is that he signed on June 13 versus Rodon who signed on July 11. Trea Turner can't officially be traded until one year from his signing date, but one year from his signing falls into the 6 month window that they have after this trade is complete to name the PTBNL. After January 11, Rodon could be traded as a PTBNL also. Bingo.
