The seventh game of a whitesox ws. Nothing would top this for any other sporting event.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 01:36 PM) Never thought that cutler would walk out of this situation looking like a pretty mature guy. All season long he has handled things very professionally from the media standpoint. Results have sucked for the team but he's remained extremely composed with the media and refused to throw anyone under the bus, even though privately, I am sure he is totally over this and fully on board of getting the heck out of Chicago. Yep and he is smart enough to know that he increases his chances of being able to do that by being professional and composed. If he responds as we would have expected him to respond there would be no chance of another team taking him. There still is probably no chance on another team taking him regardless.

When did Levine become such a bad reporter? I always remember him being okay when he was on ESPN. Seems like now that he is on the Score he just blows at doing his job or he is on pins and needles afraid of outing sources.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Dec 12, 2014 -> 03:30 PM) White Sox and Seattle taking Dayan Viciedo has been on going for two years . One club more serious now ! https://twitter.com/MLBBruceLevine/status/543515457073192960 I dont think I quite understand what Levine even means with this.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Dec 11, 2014 -> 01:23 PM) The White Sox and Mariners are engaged in “serious talks” about a deal involving outfielder/third baseman Dayan Viciedo, MLB.com’s Scott Merkin reports on Twitter. Chicago is looking to receive a bullpen arm in return. hmmmm...who might that be?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) I guess Dodgers traded Dee Gordon and Dan Haren for one of Marlins top prospects (top 50 pitching prospect in baseball). Presuming he still counts as prospect despite making 7 or 8 big league starts a year ago. Marlins must have LOVED Gordon... They are idiots.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 06:55 PM) Phegley is one of those guys who strikes as a plausible Beane success story. Hitting in the minors but doesn't seem to be responding well to our coaching staff due to some unspecified "attitude problems", not learning well how to handle pitchers but plausibly correctible with coaching and playing time. Certainly not a guaranteed success but I totally get why Beane would want him. Wore out his welcome with the White Sox, the White Sox have a lot of catchers including RH catchers so there isn't really room for him, maybe a fresh start and new coaching staff turns thing around. What I love though is the people on FB that have commented on the trade saying Phegley is a "stud". I know for sure that a stud he is not. Lol

QUOTE (spiderman @ Dec 10, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) With Lawrence Holmes? Ugh. Holmes is one of the most intelligent and insightful media people in Chicago in my opinion.

Not off topic at all. It seems we have us a fresh source on our hands here boys!

You guys should probably stop the back and forth now.

To me, Viciedo is the type of guy that Hahn/KW pick up for nothing right at this point in the players career.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 06:00 PM) This is very choppy and flawed logic. Many of those blown saves occurred in the 7th or 8th innings when Robertson would not have been in the game. Beyond that, you can't just take his statistics from the previous year, transmute them to the following season, and assuming everything is going to be the same. If he gives up 1 run in a 3 run game, it's still save even if it's ugly. If he gives up 1 run in a 1 run game, it's a blown save and everyone is angry. He is a good pitcher whose addition is welcome. He is not worth 18 games. I'm not a saber but if I can understand correctly, he will NOT be an 18 WAR player?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) The Sox will have another clubhouse cancer at some point in time. It's frankly inevitable. Wasn't Swisher? AJ was a cancer towards the end. So yeah.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 03:44 PM) Rick Hahn just on MLB - good point about Shark helping guys like Rodon when he's brought up. Stressed the need for good clubhouse guys like LaRoche. I like how he added he was going to get right back to it after he was done with their interview.

Robin looks like the guy that NOBODY likes at the office.

Shouldn't he get whatever Shields gets this year? Or something similar.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:42 AM) He's got jokes since the Robertson thing isn't official yet. Ahhhhhhh. A wise guy.

QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:41 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 31s32 seconds ago #WhiteSox 40-man roster is down to 38 with the move. Will be up to 39 shortly. Hearing they may have signed a reliever. Lol who is next?

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:36 AM) According to the mlb.com prospect list, the Sox didn't give up a single guy in their top 20. Haha And there was still people upset by what they gave up. Lol gotta love it.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 11:05 AM) i hope it is not Adams Can he even be traded yet?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 9, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) I do not believe they are going to let Samardzija hit free agency. The Sox typically won't trade for a guy like this without some assurance or knowledge that said player wants to stick around long-term. Which is why I am extremely confident they will sign him long term. I would be a bit surprised if they didn't.

What is really impressive is that all this happened on freaking Monday! Talk about being confident and approaching the meetings with a damn purpose.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) Can you PM me what you are hearing? I'm so nervous. R-E-L-A-X......... Relaxxxxxxxxx

QUOTE (Real @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 09:18 PM) Bob Nightengale on MLB Network just said "Jeff Samardzjia is going to the Chicago White Sox" Official?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 8, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) Sale Q JS Danks Bassitt/rodon I'm good with that. Couldn't we still sign a guy like Masterson? Shark will not take up much of payroll unless we sign him long term.
