QUOTE (Ezio Auditore @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 12:12 PM) "The Bears should've drafted Prescott" is such a lazy, useless statement that conveys no actual constructive thought. The fact is he has an all world running back and phenomenal offensive line...as well as an offensive minded head coach have aided him. You put him on the Bears now and he is David Fales. Teams seem to be figuring him out a little as well. The issue though is that the Bears have not even tried to develop a QB while at the same time not really liking Cutler either.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 12:16 PM) Whatever happened to the black dude on the bridge? He never died on screen. Could it be him? No in the timeline the bridge jumping and that event are about the same time/day.

QUOTE (MEANS @ Dec 13, 2016 -> 08:17 AM) From what I've heard...none of your guesses are correct....it's brand new That's what I figured. They assumed the guy with the cache was no longer in play.

I really only watch the Bears and the playoffs so I am not all that up on the career of Matt Barkley (I don't play fantasy football either) but I found it odd he had never started a game before coming to the Bears. I know he was super-hyped going into USC and didn't live up to those expectations. He certainly looks serviceable.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 9, 2016 -> 09:49 AM) The one thing that Q has going for him right now is that a low payroll team that wants to play the "be in the race every year" game can look at him and say that 4 years of control is perfect for what they want to do. If the Pirates want to compete every year, he fits there. The Astros are looking at a 5+ year horizon and 4 years basically falls in that. The closer you get to his FA date, the value might not substantially drop, but the number of teams that could get in might drop. He's still the price of a #2 starter either way, but if you start having teams drop out because they will only look long term, then your chances of getting that return could drop. Growing up in the 70's the Pirates and Orioles were my favorite teams next to the Sox and I still like them. For the life of me I really cannot figure why each team seems to have gotten to point B but cannot seem to get to point C. I know the Britten thing in the wild card did in the O's but I still think they were missing a couple of pieces. The Pirates can't get through the playoffs becasue they do not address their flaws and with the cubs and Dodgers where they are now, the Pirates window may be closed. Pirates remind me of the Sox from the last few years except they were able to achieve a level of success but are just not good enough.

Which old man got their kid further Monte Buddy I would say Bum but Wade is doing pretty well.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 06:00 AM) The team finally has a plan/purpose. I can see people going to more games - even is they are going to lose A LOT initially. For me, even if I go to a game and we lose 12-2, i'm still hype because I know what's coming. I agree with you. Fans hated that teams inability to win. There was a glimmer early last year but then it did not fade, it crashed and burned over a three week span. Fans will tune in to see what is happening. If things break for the Sox as they did for the cubs, in 2020, they could be the best team in baseball. Nobody went last year, it really could nto get any worse at the game.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 8, 2016 -> 09:00 AM) No need for season tickets, walk right up and buy the game you want to go to. Get below face on the internet A buddy and I reupped our 7 game plan to 27 games.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 01:15 PM) I think they could certainly do it without Turner. Question is whether they'd gut their system like that. If Turner is not in the conversation, there is no conversation. Add Robertson or Jones if needed. Eaton and Quintana are better than Sale.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:09 PM) Could you get Turner, Robles and Giolito for Eaton and Quintana? I want this trade just not sure you could get Robles. You CANNOT trade both of those guys to Washington and not get Turner.

Gotta be Giolito and Turner there is no other package that could be close.

I hate hearing that these guys have "upside" just becasue the White Sox do not seem to ever get the guy to that upside. Hopefully I am just overly negative.

They all blinked and missed out on Sale. I'd like to see the Pirates get in here as I have stated before. Cutch to Nats Quintana to Pirates Glasnow and Giolito to White Sox That sounds good to me.

Two teams selling low on their players. Cubs are losing youth at a high clip.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 6, 2016 -> 04:17 PM) We will have TONS of payroll flexibility as a result of the rebuild Once Melky and Robertson are off the books the payroll will be tiny Plenty of money for the bad 4year /$48-60M deals they like to hand out to s***ty players.

The thing that irritates me about trading him was the epic failure of the organization to build around two front of the rotation guys.

Could you get Turner, Robles and Giolito for Eaton and Quintana?

The White Sox certainly love Cuban baseball palyers.

Like the OBP of Basbe and Mocada

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:45 AM) The stat doesn't, but 7 WAR players sure do. If that's what they think they have in Turner, they're not going to trade him plus top prospects for Sale. I agree that Turner plus is not realistic but Turner should be in the conversation. With Sale, Washington's rotation would be insane. You put in a Robertson or Jones in the deal to increase the quantity to go along with Turner.

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Huh? What reports saying the Sox are buyers? I don't believe it. It was right after the season ended and was speculative that if the Sox did in fact try to go for ti in 2017 McCutchen would be a fit and that was the price. I can't recall where I read it but I believe it was out of Pittsbugh.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:38 AM) I don't think Cutch has the value that people think. He's not good defensively anymore, wants to play CF, and was a negative WAR player last year. Early post season report had the White Sox giving up Burdi Or Fullmer for him in a one for one.

QUOTE (bighurt574 @ Dec 5, 2016 -> 11:32 AM) Then you're never going to get a deal done. Turner just put up 3.5 WAR in a half season and is under control for six more years. Why would the Nats trade him and then some for Sale? Because pitching wins in the playoffs. WAR means nothing after October 1st.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 4, 2016 -> 09:31 AM) Just imagine, with that 3 million in savings they could sign their very own Avisail Garcia! The bigger value for Robertson is it is only for two years. 2/$25M is easier to stomach than 4/$60M
