Interesting. I wonder who is in trouble?

JJ Stankevitz ‏@JJStankevitz 1h1 hour ago Chicago, IL Remember the last time the Dodgers traded away a player who they thought had bad hips?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) Will someone genuinely overpay after "2 good games"? Matt Flynn sez hi!

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:22 PM) I agree. I could see a Brantly, Davidson, Bonifacio, Shuck/Danks/Campana bench be pretty good. I'd rather see Davidson playing every day at Charlotte, and having a less talented guy playing off of the bench.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:19 PM) I don't think the Sox bench is set by any stretch of the imagination yet. I think bench is set and very securely fastened into the dugout.

I prefer this third bass.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) We are rebuilding, so lets get rid of all of them since we need to fill the seats that will be even more empty after Sale and Abreu are traded. wait, what? My personal favorite was the version where we were trading Sale, but getting Samardjiza in a separate deal. Samardjiza would be pitching to less fans than he did in Oakland.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) Nope. I just meant that we could re-sign him as the backup if he plays well. If he is good, he turns into McCown, and someone overpays for him. If he sucks, we don't want him anyway. Play the rookie you have under control.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 01:11 PM) Abreu + LaRoche should be enough to cover 162 games at 1B. If one of them needs a day off the other can play 1B and then you can have anybody DH. Beyond that, Gillaspie has played a little bit of 1B, and whatever backup infielder the Sox have, whether that be Saladino, Sanchez, LGarcia or somebody else not already in the organization, should be able to handle 1B as well. Yeah, I would imagine that Connor would be the emergency 1B. If not we could always see what Dunn is... Damn, I can't even post it as a joke yet.

Now that is how you answer this BS. Chicago Tribune 33 mins · No 'Interview,' no problem. Texas cinema chain Alamo Drafthouse said its Dallas-Fort Worth theater would show the raunchy puppet-comedy "Team America: World Police" in which a U.S. paramilitary force try to foil a terrorist plot by late North Korean leader Kim Jong Il, who is portrayed in an extremely unflattering light.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 10:49 AM) I would rather watch Fales like most of you. But if he isn't ready, maybe it's good not to throw him out there against a defense as good as the Lions. He could get eaten alive. That said, I am also looking forward to seeing Clausen. Not because I think he could be our starter next year, but rather, I think it's important to find out if he can be a quality backup. No matter who our starter is next year, if Clausen plays well to end the season, then it will be reassuring to know we have a decent backup QB with could win some games for us if the starter gets hurt. Is he signed for next year?

Wow, what a disaster.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 11:43 AM) I just want to say THANK YOU to Jerry for that. If his kids can pull together the money to buy it from him, great, but I hate when sports fans are held hostage by the 2nd and 3rd generation kids whose entire identity is the team and if they fail there is no way out. DA BEARS!

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) damn, i did not know this, i was wondering if there was something in his will. wow, that will be sad, a passing of a legend. he did do a lot for the chi sports. He said it publicly in an interview in the last year or so.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 11:19 AM) no but there may be new ownership or the same ownership with new faces in charge. jeeze you mean you can't figure this out. there are many things that can change. Jerry's recommendation is for his sons and the current ownership group to sell the team upon his death.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 11:09 AM) CG is one of my favorite guys on the team. That said, he is a prime candidate for being someone who gets blamed and targeted hard by fans if his season or our season go south early With the improvements made around Gillaspie, it isn't a big leap to think he will be the next whipping boy.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 09:28 AM) Then I think you are one of the few people on this board who would have rather started Jordan Danks or JB Shuck in LF over a guy in Dayan Viciedo who clearly shows talent and has a bat that can carry and offense if or when he figures it out. He probably ends up like Wily Mo Pena or Wladimir Balentien and starts crushing the ball overseas, but I'd much rather take my chance on a guy who could become a big time hitter than on a couple of guys who never will be. I honestly wonder if the defensive improvement of a guy like Jordan Danks, would outweigh the black hole of Dayan Viciedo defensively, versus what they would produce with the bat. With Danks you would get lightyears a better defender, and a much better baserunner. Viciedo you would get much better power numbers. Both would strike out around the same number of times, so that is a wash. Over a full season, which is better? I guess it depends on the players around him. This year I honestly the think with the improved offense, Danks would be better for the pitching staff, and with the improved offense, it would be easier to hide his bat.

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) feels like a movie scene by a hospital bed 'dayan has been in a tragic accident and...' Speaking of tragic accidents, did you see Viciedo play 3rd?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 18, 2014 -> 08:25 AM) I actually think Rodon is more similar to David Price. Still an ace though. Carlos Rodon is a future #1 starter in the major leagues. Not sure why people are really doubting that. Because many sure fire prospects have busted. Call it Tom Jones Syndrome... It's not unusual.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) First MLB game was 1979...Gary Templeton and the Cardinals played at Wrigley. Do those 45 and older get a SoxTalk member discount or at least a discount card for Arby's or something? All of the posts you can post.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Dec 17, 2014 -> 06:33 PM) I see that the Padres just sent Trae Turner packing in the Will Myers trade. Good news: that means we can trade Rodon for the proven veteran of your choice. Not until the middle of January, at the earliest.
