Gaining a little momentum now.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 14s15 seconds ago @AaronLemingNFL @barstoolWSD @JamesFox917 And talks will be ongoing with Q and until they aren't. Not like CWS making him untouchable In response to the Tucker talk.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:27 PM) Tucker available for Archer (supposedly) but not Q? Which is why Bregman makes sense here. Maybe Merkin knows something we dont. Everyone said Moncada was untouchable too.

Maybe no Tucker in the deal because it will include BREGMAN and the world would stand in awe.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 03:15 PM) I would gag if we didn't get tucker. Merkin guessed at WSD's tweet that Tucker would not be involved. Just a guess tho. Still just going in circles throwing s*** as we pass each other.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 02:49 PM) Jon Morosi ‏@jonmorosi 35s36 seconds ago José Quintana trade talks continue, sources say, with #Astros among the most serious suitors. @MLB @MLBNetwork Come crawling back. You should have paid up the first time, now Hahn should ask for even more. LOL

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeyman 4m4 minutes ago Geovany Soto gets $2M if in majors on chisox deal. Also has option for 2nd year.

QUOTE (peavy44 @ Jan 6, 2017 -> 08:32 AM) Trade Melky to giants Trade Frazier to St louis Cardinals or new York Mets Trade Jose Quintana to the Pirates or Rockies Trade Abreu to Texas Rangers Sounds simple enough.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Mike Greenberg is going to be on in the 4:00 hour. What a weird crossing of worlds for someone who was too young to listen when Greeny was at WSCR. Honestly, this show is incredible today. Must-listen stuff. Its really great stuff. Hard to not get emotional with these guys actually.

No one found Chris Hemsworth's stupidity kind of funny in Ghostbusters? I thought it was actually, a little bit.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 11:12 AM) Independence Day 2. Worst movie I've seen in a decade probably. Yep this was going to be my worst.

The Stros may like Archer more than Q.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Wow, Boers does not look good... Yeah I just seen a pic of him with Mac and Speigs. He has been cryptic ever since he announced his retirement. He has acted as if he is saying good bye on a much larger scale than just his career and the friends he made.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 5, 2017 -> 01:26 PM) They had an elite offense with him for the second half of 14 and all of 2015. Hell, you could even go back to Warner. Cards have had a few good rolls of the dice with end of career QBs providing suddenly competitive windows. Which is why Romo coming to the Bears makes a ton of sense for them. Not that I think they can emulate the Cards but I think they believe they can.

Tony Romo will be a Bear next year and they will draft a guy in the second round to develop. Book it. I am pulling a steve.

For some reason reading about the Yankees valuing their prospects more than the big names made me think back to when I was a teenager and that was the complete opposite. Is it because of the metrics that have been established that teams are more confident in prospect success (more valued as future assets to the org) and there is less of a roll of the dice as it used to be when talent evaluators went off of a couple stats and did mostly everything by the eye test? Why havent I connected the dots with this before now?! I am an idiot!

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Jan 4, 2017 -> 02:32 PM) Chuck Garfien ‏@ChuckGarfien 22s22 seconds ago I don't believe #WhiteSox are motivated to move Jose Quintana by spring training. Heard they'll trade him if price is right whenever that is Whatever, I dont believe anything I read right now. Their will come a day when a rumor pops up out of nowhere like it always does which will then gain steam and BAM trade done all in one day.

He's number 2? FML I cant take any more of this rebuild!

Well Rosenthal looks to finally be back from his hiatus so maybe he can dig up some dirt for us fans pretty soon?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 10:52 AM) I just hope he can recruit like a madmen. That is the way this team can get really good...with Butler leading the charge and pulling some big time free agents. Guy is a star, but the rest of the team is so pathetic. Hoiberg is part of the problem, but the roster is too. You would think that Jimmy could recruit as well anyone. He seems like he has made it to the "cool kids" table with how hollywood he has become. Lets see it work in our favor now.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 3, 2017 -> 10:19 AM) The question is getting players that will be on your next playoff team. If they aren't players that will be on that team, the next thing you worry about is valuation. The next question is who is more likely to put up big numbers, Tyler Saladino or Todd Frazier to turn into a trade that will next you something? The answer to that question is who you will play. Questions arent all going to be answered in a couple months let alone one off season. This is going to be fluid. I am not going to worry about who is going to play over those two because it will sort itself out. Either way I dont think its likely that either of the two play a big role in the future, even considering the player they may get in return for a trade. We are going to look our our org in a couple years and barely remember how we got from point A to point B. But hey, if guys want to discuss Saladino vs. Frazier have at it. Its a message board and we need something to talk about.

If Saladino comes out and rakes out of his mind for the first couple months and we are able to flip him for a prospect than great. Thats the best part of knowing you are in a rebuild. You dont have to over think everything. You let the guys go out there and play. Whoever plays the best you let them go out there and play the majority of the time and if they are a veteran or a player that you know is not part of your future you will trade them after they play well or they are sub par and will eventually be pushed out by a better player. Its simple.

I joined twitter to pass the time. It took me a very long time to cave into twitter but my hunger for the breaking sox news put me over the top.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Dec 30, 2016 -> 12:48 PM) All depends on where you rated him to begin with. I still don't think he is as valuable as Sale was. He definitely isnt if you factor in marketability and give style points. But teams have to focus on winning and let their other players bring those things.

We are starting to talk ourselves into Q being overrated and not as valuable already. Crazy talk.
