QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 11:40 AM) Soto or Fedde + Severino should be the target Sox should be open to kicking in cash to get the best possible return If the Sox initial target has Fedde or Soto would they really be waiting on Washington to sign Weiters so they can include Severino in a deal? I dont think they would hold off on pulling a trigger for Fedde or Soto waiting for the second lower ceiling piece.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) It never hurts to have depth an options at catcher Severino seems to have the floor of a glove first mlb backup, with the ceiling to be a regular if the hitting develops Even if Collins sticks at catcher, we will need backup options. Nobody catches every game anymore. I understand this but Hahn appears to be in go big mode with all of his trades. Considering he hasn't made too many moves yet that shows he isnt just settling for back up catchers. I dont buy that the trade is centered around a Severino or if this trade opportunity with the Nats even exists. They might like him in a trade but I would be shocked if he is the headliner.

I know you cant just look at one guy in Collins and think you have a position held down for the future but it seems odd to me that the Sox would target Severino only in a deal for Robertson. I would think that they would want to target talent were they have almost no talent in the making like 3rd base, more outfielders, or 1st baseman of the future. But I guess this is what rebuilding looks like, you dont just fill positions in order. You have to stock pile talent wherever you can get it.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Feb 21, 2017 -> 08:44 AM) i understand people wanting to trade Jimmy for picks, but I just dont want that. This front office doesnt deserve it, i dont want to see them f*** all of this up. I would rather they sit on their hands and the team crash spectacularly into the ground and miss the playoffs again, with a 1/4 filled UC with booing fans at the end of the season. I dont want Garpax "fixing" this team. I dont want them settling for a s***ty deal with Boston where they dont get that Nets pick, i dont want them making any high picks in the draft, i dont want them doing anything anymore. f*** them. Took the words right out of my mouth.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 17, 2017 -> 03:34 PM) Hahn confirmed on Garfien podcast they were close during offseason to a trade on par with Sale/Eaton Its possible that same trade will be there when an owner might have second thoughts or a player goes down. Good to know it went that far with a haul that Hahn would want.

I have to say I always hated that guy. I hated his game (lack there of) and I hated his personality. My criticisms of him probably werent quite fair since I dont really know the guy but so what.

Being a parent turns your life upside down. My wife and I were always on the run and lived everyday with a new adventure but once the kids came that obviously ended that. Honestly that was a difficult adjustment but we made time when we could to have our date nights at least and now we take the kids with. Life is good and I am thankful. I wouldn't change a thing.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 16, 2017 -> 08:38 AM) Absolutely, I like theirs, I also like the ones at Q as well. I dont know about anyone else but I get super pissed when BBQ places dont offer them, or when their brisket sucks. Piggyback in Forest Park has good ribs, but their brisket is literally rubber. That turns me off bigly. My approach to BBQ has turned into how I have always approached Mexican food. I have different favorite places according to what I know I am going to order specifically. I have a favorite taco place but its not where I am going to order enchiladas. I have a favorite enchilada place but its not where I order chile rellenos. I have a favorite pozole place that I would never get anything other than that there. I now do the same with the BBQ. Different favorites according to the cut of meat and on some days sides matter. I am a huge fan of good sides with my food. LOL

I definitely have to try this greenstreet very soon. Speaking of burnt ends, has anyone tried them at Real Urban BBQ? Really some of my favorite burnt ends to date.

I would like to see a Anderson, Rodon, Moncada banner. Thanks.

I am going to sign an executive order that forces bmags to remove his tears from his coffee.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 08:45 AM) No he didn't say at end of the offseason I could have sworn your post said the very end of off season. I see now it says end of the process during the off season.

We are planning on taking the kids to the zoo this weekend.... In February..... With light jackets.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:53 AM) The Q to the Pirates with the Yankees in a three way trade fell apart at the ownership level I think the Sox would have gotten a massive haul back, but the Yankees backed out Wasnt this one a few weeks ago though? He said at the end of the off season which was like two days ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Feb 15, 2017 -> 07:51 AM) On the Garfien podcast, one of the bloggers said KW told him they had an eye-popping deal fall through at the very end of the process during the offseason Well that's excruciating to hear.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 03:19 PM) Likely the most "foot in mouth" quote Hahn ever will have: He wasnt wrong. We will depend on him to run his sorry ass out there every five days and suck.

Personally I am not a huge fan of trading your best asset for a guy who just went down for Tommy John. Call me crazy.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:24 PM) Where are these "tons of rumors"? QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 12:25 PM) Where are these "tons of rumors"? Didnt know I would ruffle feathers probably a wrong choice of words. I read a couple recent articles and rumors on twitter that make it seem as if its heating up again. NOTHING IS IMMINENT.

I am slow. Is there a direct link to the Pirates trading Cutch and them trading for Q? There is a ton of rumors out there that they want to trade Cutch again. Seems to be heating up on that front.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:27 AM) Does anyone know of any decent restaurants open late in West Loop area? Doesn't have to be West Loop but preferably within a 15 minute uber. I have class til 9 and the lady and I are going to get a late night dinner but I can't find anywhere decent for the life of me. All of my searches are yielding Jim's Orginal and Four Aces. Not good. Westend used to have good bar food. Go anywhere on Randolph in the West Loop and you will find about 10 different great places to eat. Little Goat, Perez, AuCheval, Porkchop....

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 14, 2017 -> 11:17 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 1m1 minute ago All-Star left-hander Jose Quintana will talk later this morning, but after today will politely decline to discuss trade rumors. #WhiteSox Q is a dude you build around, such a pro. Its a damn shame we dont have the luxury to do that when he is our only real asset left to build for the future.

Seeing some of the first interviews at camp come in and all I have to say is I am sure these guys LOVE talking about being shopped around.

Cmon Nats, make another impulse purchase and live to regret it later! We all do it.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Feb 13, 2017 -> 01:57 PM) Interesting that Lopez is higher than Kopech. This list must be higher on floors and proximity to MLB than potential. Levine said that he is hearing from our scouts that Lopez is the best of the group. They think he is the closest. I heard him say that yesterday and at first was in shock but then I remember who was the person saying it. Could be valid though.

QUOTE (bmags @ Feb 12, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) The #Nats and #Whitesox appeared close to a David Robertson trade early in week but now at a stalemate as camps open http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2...assic/97834948/ Hahn is just raiding the Nats system. Honestly they would probably be smart to not deal with him anymore.LOL
