Timmy just sold himself really short. But hey, when you have kids sometimes you just have to take the safest path.

Here is the audio for those interested. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/laurence...tform=hootsuite

Thanks for that. Kind of hard to follow with all the different names that guy referenced them by LOL. Holmes apparently HATES being called Larry BTW.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 17, 2017 -> 08:18 AM) There were a lot of tweets @ him saying they appreciated that he brought it to a personal level, and one indicated that he explained why he didnt go for/take the open slot when Boers retired Interesting. I wonder if the show will be posted on their website.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 08:00 PM) Apparently Abbattacola just went into some personal stuff on air, seeing a lot of tweets at him. Anyone listen? I am curious to know what he went into.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 02:41 PM) Depth is overrated. Look at how quickly our farm system has jumped in the rankings based on two trades. We need impact players from a trade of Q. Depth might be overrated for positional rankings that we discuss but not for the reality of building a team that wins every year.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Mar 16, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) I see all these posts/tweets about wanting the Sox farm system to be balanced. I don't know about you guys, but I'd much rather have a top 5 farm system with 7-8 elite prospects than a top 5 farm system with 20 decent ones. I'd much rather have elite talent at the top than balance. You can think you want this more until a couple of those elite guys bust or get injured then you might rethink that philosophy. Especially when out of the 20 "decent" prospects you might wind up with 8-9 really good to elite ML players. I dont think either way is a bad way or one way better than the other.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) Also "not historically bad" is a hilarious defense of the offensive talent. After what we seen over the last decade on both sides of the ball if it isnt historically bad then its barely notable. To me anyways.

QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 03:46 PM) trying to sit back and imagine how bad this offense will be. I am in no way trying to justify the Bears as putting together a great group for next year but their offense may be okay. ONLY if Loggains truly keeps to the run in an overly stubborn way. They have a decent line and good RB crew so they shouldnt be historically bad as we've seen from them in other years. But they could try to open it up and run the ball 30% of the time... so yeah that will be some brutal football to watch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 14, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) https://twitter.com/barstoolWSDMLBVerified account @MLB .@RedSox LHP David Price likely to start season on disabled list due to left elbow strain: http://atmlb.com/2mJaqGL What happened to 7-10 days? Not so sure they are in the clear as reported.

I left the house at 545 and didnt get to work until 1030. No exaggeration. Winter, you are still a b****.

Winter had to give a swift kick in the nuts or two before leaving until next time.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Mar 13, 2017 -> 01:06 PM) No. There usual procedure is to try a 3 week rest to see if it's more the stress reaction vs. more severe type of stress fracture. That's why they tried to work him at 3 weeks or so. It was still sore so they will probably wait another 3-4 to see how it reacts. It's what the process is for this type of injury. So does letting it rest for a couple months (as opposed to a few weeks) not decrease the chance of it happening again?

They need to shelve him for 2-3 months at least, no matter what, and throw him back out there mid season if completely healed. Its no biggie, the season is meant for taking the entire 162 to evaluate young talent. He will get his shot at some point.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) That's probably the most encouraging quote we've seen all offseason. It doesn't mean anything's going to happen, but that's the most smoke I think we've actually seen. Yeah it is. Cashman was the one saying not too long ago that the Sox were asking too much and that they were out. Either the reality has set in with him that he will have to pay the price or the Sox have lowered the asking. I dont think they have lowered the asking.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 12:23 PM) We all are aware the Bears are and always were going to suck again this year right? They need a HUGE draft this year and then FA+ draft next year to finally be competitive. And what sucks about this is there is no guarantee that they will blow the doors off in next years FA either. McCaskeys are still going to be cheap.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 11:51 AM) Is he any good? 3 years ago I'd have been excited if we signed him, but I don't think he's done much last couple of years, has he? Clearly a capable NFL player, but he's forced what, one turnover in two years. Arkush and Leming seem to think he will automatically be the Bears top CB even if they draft one.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) It's been clear for a while: Hahn is unwilling to accelerate a rebuild by accepting lower offers for key assets. The question I have is whether or not he should move some assets that appear to be at maximum value. These two pretty much go hand and hand, dont they?

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 10, 2017 -> 09:33 AM) I don't see it either. IMHO, the only way it works is if Hahn can get sizeable hauls for Robertson and Jones in July. Frazier won't bring much of anything unless third baseman start dropping like flies around the league. Keeping Q is possible but not something I would count on. Definitely not a likely occurrence but I think its a possibility in Hahn's mind. I dont think he has completely ruled it out from happening.

I am really thinking that Hahn has in his mind that IF he can somehow hit pretty big with other trades Frazier/Robertson/Surprise player that he can potentially have enough to keep Q for the long term. I don't think he his absolutely certain that Q isnt going to be a part of the future.If they can trade Q now for a haul will obviously accelerate the rebuild, of course, but we just barely started the process and not much has played out compared to what actually will.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) Bears have too many holes to fill them with free agents. No need to overspend. Pace said himself that he wanted to fill the holes through FA to allow him to take best available in the draft. Those were his words. If they decide to build completely through the draft and not focus on filling holes with FA their rebuild will take another 4-5 years. I doubt thats what he really wants to do.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 03:59 PM) You roll it over. It's part of the game. What you cannot do if you're Chicago is overpay for what's left of free agency. And the cheap bulls*** is lazy research. If there was $40 million worth of high value talent, the Bears would spend ALL the cap space. There isn't. There really never is. Guys are FA's for a reason. But when you dont knock every every draft pick out of the park you have to over pay for guys in FA to fill in the gaps that you failed with.
