QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 05:09 AM) Report from MLBTradeRumors.com: Zach Links expects right-hander Justin Masterson to settle for a pillow contract to rebuild his value after a down 2014 and $12MM for that one year could make sense. I personally don't think that he's worth $12N for one year. This is why I think Masterson is a great fit for the Sox. He wants a short term deal. The Sox have one eye on the future with some of the pitching in the minors. Cooper is the master fixer upper. It just makes too much sense.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 08:44 AM) OK. I am also going to try and make a run at Kate Upton this offseason as well. Wish me luck. I think I would give better Odds to Wite.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 6, 2014 -> 08:41 AM) The boston herald is reporting the same. They say Boston is going after Sale and Stanton this offseason. Unless they throw in Fenway... no way it happens.

Seems like a pretty good haul on the surface. Anyone know much about the prospects?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) Confidence has very little to do with it. Victor Martinez being less than super human or even not there next year, Miguel Cabrera being a year older, and perhaps most importantly Scherzer being gone are their worries for next year. On top of that, Nathan and Hunter are free agents and are quite old. Just to stay treading water will cost that team like $40 million+ next offseason. JD Martinez helps them a ton, Castellanos playing well in his 2nd year would help, but that is an old, expensive team with just about as many needs as us. This post makes me happy.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 11:50 AM) What makes you think Garcia would be a plus defender at 1B? It is WAY too early to give up on Avi in the OF.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 4, 2014 -> 07:52 AM) Sabermetrics, traditional stats, etc. will ALL tell you that the 2005 White Sox were great. That pitching staff had a historic postseason. Honestly, the dominance of the '05 White Sox is/will be severely overlooked in history. Anyone think they might have been the most dominant of the past decade? They led their division the entire season, and they only lost one post season game. It is hard to out do that.

If they had Alexei at a negative number, there is a major problem with the stat.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 10:29 PM) The team is in no position to loose draft picks I prefer tight picks.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 08:38 PM) Depending on what starts to shake loose they can also spend some money. First up is figure out who will be on the coaching staff. Is anyone in danger... well besides Joe maybe getting a management job?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 06:01 PM) I don't know how things are going in Chicago but I've been impressed at the public/private agreements for development of beaten down areas taking place in Pittsburgh since I arrived here. There's been one major deal completed in the last 2 months and another is processing to redevelop very large areas, including the former hockey arena site. Like 20 year commitments with tax dollars going certain places to certain committees. The quoted redevelopment cost to the city here has been far less than what it actually was and they turned the money into private investment in the area that is going to make a huge dent in that region. Again, no idea how that compares to Chicago but in the sense of urban redevelopment, you can look at those costs as a negative or as a long term opportunity. Some might even use the word crisatunity. How well do you know Rich Daley?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) If I put a witty caption on a picture of someone with Elbola and shared it on facebook, I'd have a big chunk of the country buying whatever I wanted about Ebola. Perfect example of something I JUST saw on my facebook feed. http://www.naturalnews.com/047089_Ebola_pa...l#ixzz3F0K4t03c

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 04:31 PM) Whatever happened to southsidesox.com or southsiders.com. Forget what it was called? Southsiders.net They shutdown a while back IIRC. I think they are still on facebook.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) Looks like you don't even have to have the Winter Olympics in a cold city anymore. I hope more countries back-out and make the IOC scramble to find someone. After what happened with Chicago's 2016 bid, all I can say is HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:39 PM) Hell, like 2k5 said, look how much the educated people in this country trust vaccines right now. If I put a witty caption on a picture of someone with Elbola and shared it on facebook, I'd have a big chunk of the country buying whatever I wanted about Ebola.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:25 PM) Using a vaccination clinic as part of the CIA efforts to gather information on OBL in Pakistan didn't help. Yeah, that was happening LONG before this. The same things happened with AIDS. Also, remember having sex with a virgin to cure AIDS?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:23 PM) I've seen a couple Sox minor leaguers tweet links to articles talking about the conspiracy idea that this was created by the US for that purpose. They seem to believe it. It's amazing what some people believe, in contradiction to all things factual. The same sort of nonsense that goes on with vaccines and autism.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) To this day, that offseason Doug Fister trade just dumbfounds me Pure and simple clearing future salary obligations.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 03:09 PM) And its only going to increase with Miggy, Verlander, and possibly Scherzer or Price extensions. That makes me happy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 3, 2014 -> 02:43 PM) Our efforts to build a series of isolation units/field hospitals in the hardest hit countries are currently going very poorly as well. That needs reinforced. There is a wonderful combination of people who don't believe Ebola is real, and those who think that this is vast American conspiracy to kill a bunch of Africans.
