Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 7m7 minutes ago matt kemp market: at least 3 in, but at what price? #orioles #padres #mariners http://cbsprt.co/1ykBhYZ

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 09:05 AM) I'd prefer a deal like that with Lester to trading Anderson for Samardzija and extending him at anything close to 5/$100. The money's higher but if you're paying 9 figures to a pitcher anyway...Lester's a better pitcher and you don't have to trade away something to get him. Of course, given the option I wouldn't spend 9 figures on a pitcher at all. So Tim Anderson plus the difference between Samarj and Lester is worth somewhere close to $10 million a year for the next 6 years?

Just saying...Ha Ha, suckers

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 07:46 AM) It was only a meniscus injury. There doesn't seem to be any structural damage from what I can find. It wouldn't concern me with trading for him. That is nice information to know. Thanks.

QUOTE (Lemon_44 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 05:01 AM) I agree. That move would make much more sense. If you sign Shields, the players being bandied about in Samardzjia talks could be used to acquire an impact bat and the Sox are better on both fronts. Based purely on feeling, a long term deal to Shields will have a way worse pitcher at the end then Samarj.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 05:11 AM) I'm not sure if anyone has talked about it, but maybe Wesley Wright would be a nice pickup on a minor league deal. He looked solid last year for the Cubs and would add another lefty into the mix now that snoddy is gone. Robin really sounded impressed by Surkamp during last September. I wouldn't be shocked to see him as the second lefty, while they look for a closer type righty out of the pen.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 09:43 PM) FutureSox: Carroll and Snodgress non-tendered - what it means. In response to SS2K5, as it turns out, they COULD have put Snodgress through waivers and used an option, but chose not to. Which is odd. Which is what I wrote about. Yeah, that is the typical process for moving a guy from the 40 man to the non-roster players. What through me is the "not offered a contract", like I said, which made me think free agency. Odd for sure.

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 06:50 AM) Non-tendered players... http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/12/list...rs-2014-15.html 6.5 years ago, I thought the Sox were getting Beckham or Smoak in the draft. Oh how the mighty have fallen. Some buy low projects on that list for sure. It will be interesting to see what the Sox have planned for the open roster spot.

Bernie Pleskoff ‏@BerniePleskoff 17m17 minutes ago Gordon Beckham is among the players non-tendered by the #Angels. Others include Wade LeBlanc and Yoslan Herrera

QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 07:50 PM) Torii Hunter back to Minnesota for 1 year. Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 6m6 minutes ago torii hunter returns to the twins. $10.5M, 1 yr. nice story. @BNightengale 1st.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 04:49 PM) I believe since Snodgress has options, he's still in the Sox system. I'm 90% sure, but that is why I was asking. I highly doubt they'd release him, and I don't believe that players with options have to go through waivers to go off the 40. Just not fully sure. Nope. They are free agents. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/white-...rting-snodgress

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) Wow I would think Eric Chavez and Miggy Cabrera would have far eclipsed Damon Actually you got me thinking about threads that got moved out of PHT, and I found the Tanaka thread rules them all at 2556 replies.

ESPN Chicago ‏@ESPNChiHawks 1h1 hour ago Blackhawks will officially recall Scott Darling later today. He will back up Antti Raanta tomorrow.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 04:16 PM) Forgive my ignorance on this, hoping someone will help me... With Snodgress, I believe that still means they have his rights and can option him, right? Without exposure to waivers? For Carroll, he's already been DFA'd and is in flux. Yes? No options for Carroll? Calling Kalapse! If they are clearing him off of the 40 man roster, I believe that at the very least means Snodgress is now exposed to waivers and any team can claim him with a 40 man roster position. The language of "not offering a contract" makes me think released and now free agents, but I don't know if that is true.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 03:50 PM) What is the record for longest thread about a player who never ended up on the Sox? With a quick sort, it looks like Johnny Damon holds the record at 2122 replies.

Boston Red Sox ‏@RedSox 12m12 minutes ago #RedSox will not tender a '15 contract to INF Juan Francisco. He becomes a free agent. Tendered contracts to other 28 unsigned on ML roster.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 03:40 PM) Now look up the home/away splits for other players. Turns out most guys are better at home. For example: HOME .310/.416/.635/1.050 AWAY .265/.374/.474/.848

Good read. http://philliesminorthoughts.com/yoan-monc...mount-of-money/

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Hell no to Cargo, but hell yea to Bruce? I would much rather gamble on Cargos health then go with Bruces "meh" Bruce's season is also being blamed on his knee.
