QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 02:10 PM) Why on Earth would you want to reduce anyone's return by packaging Shields with them? Let Shields suck here for the next two years while eating some innings since the team is going to suck anyways. Duh

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:07 PM) DRob for Severino and Stevenson. Yes? No? Maybe so? I'd be stoked

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 08:11 AM) Calm before the storm? Give it till Wednesday

QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Dec 12, 2016 -> 12:08 AM) No matter what we trade Quintana for, it will end up being considered by fans and ESPN/MLB Network as just as big of a steal as the Adam Eaton trade was. I say this because Q and Eaton are underrated players due to playing for the lowly White Sox. People think of them as average players. So when we end up getting someone's top prospects again, people will flip their lids thinking we got all that for a "solid #3 starter". Just you watch. Bring it on

QUOTE (daggins @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 07:58 PM) I love the idea of signing Mr Handsome, Colby Rasmus. He seems like a good bet to bounce back and have a decent year. He'll never strike out less than ~30% but he can field and has some power. Good candidate to flip. He might not want to play for Nadir Sox though. I think Q does end up going to Houston, although I could see the Cardinals being strong bidders. I think once Turner signs with the Dodgers, Dombrowski and Hahn hook up again to send Frazier to Boston. Robertson goes to the Nats I think. Not sure what his market looks like. CF Tilson RF Coats/Avi LF Rasmus DH Melky 1B Abreu 3B Lawrie SS Anderson 2B C. Sanchez C Hanigan or trade IF Saladino OF May or Engel C Narvaez Rodon Gonzalez Shields Covey Holland or trade Jones Jennings Putnam Petricka Brian Clark Ynoa Minaya/Kahnle That should be good for 60 wins or so, accounting for any deadline moves. It's pretty awesome when a 102 loss season sounds amazing. I really wouldn't mind it if we were the worst team in baseball for 2017 and 2018. Doubtful thou.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) A good analysis of the Chris Sale trade from Big Three Sports. Likely the best write up I've seen yet, kudos.

In fact, based on this entire report my guess is that Hahn originally asked for Benintendi, Devers, Kopech, and Swihart this winter. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/12/gamm...p;post-id=80326

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 05:53 PM) The amount of anchoring people have to the BA 100 list is crazy. I wonder if even the clubs themselves are influenced Well it's pretty much a consensus evaluation of players across multiple publications - so I don't think it's odd nor do I doubt teams using it as a reference. In fact, what's so crazy about it?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) I couldn't find the old thread where we made the predictions for the off season. Now that things have died down a bit, and Sale and Eaton being traded. Who else do you think will be traded? Where are those players going? What free agent signings do the Sox make to fill the MLB holes? SP Jose Quintana and RP Dan Jennings to the Rockies for SS Brendan Rodgers, SP Riley Pint, OF Raimel Tapia, and 3B Tyler Nelvin RP David Robertson to the Nationals for C Pedro Severino and OF Juan Soto 3B Todd Frazier to the Cardinals (miss out on Justin Turner) for 3B Jhonny Peralta (potential flip at the deadline, 1 year remaining), C Carson Kelly, and SP Dakota Hudson OF Melky Cabrera and 2B/3B Brett Lawrie go at the deadline FA Signings: SP Derek Holland 1 year/3 million SP Jhoulys Chacin 1 year/6 million SP Tom Milone Minor League contract RP Drew Storen 1 year/5 million RP Brian Matusz 1 year/2 million OF Colby Rasmus 1 year/8 million Thoughts? And your ideas? If all this poop when down - I'd be a very happy man.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) Also need to find a young catcher. Who's this Stubbs I'm hearing about? Is he all glove? Astros number 30 prospect. Not all glove, 50 hit tool with no power. High defensive marks. Severino from Washington is more elite all glove type. I'd target em both... Robertson and Q.

Would people here rather have Pint or Hoffman as a second piece behind Rodgers?

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) Ahhh thanks. It's another millennial thing, like bae.

QUOTE (Ro Da Don @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 12:32 PM) #TankForBeer Hell yes

QUOTE (Moncada @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 08:39 AM) That's the deal I want. A power hitter, possible future star, possible future 2 P, and a C prospect who has hit in the minors. That checks the boxes on everything I would need to send Q out of Chicago Isn't Stubbs also known for his glove?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 03:19 AM) http://www.espn.com/blog/sweetspot/post/_/...r-jose-quintana Put this here because more and more articles are coming out theorizing the White Sox could compete theoretically as early as this season...by keeping Quintana. Hopefully it's posturing because otherwise it's bulls***

QUOTE (Soxcessful @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 07:01 AM) Now we have to find out exactly who has been in charge of the recent major league talent evaluations and somehow include them in the package being sent off Nice Welcome to Soxtalk - hope your experience here is Soxcessful. Huck huck huuck

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Dec 11, 2016 -> 04:51 AM) It's the Dutch word for poop. True story, I kid you not. Seeing that yesterday made my night. I'm f***ing odd, yes.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 10:41 PM) Listened to the entire interview. Loved every single word that came out of Rick's mouth. This is what I've wanted for years. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE I do believe you're the first champion of the rebuilding cry... it was around 07 if I recall correct.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Dec 10, 2016 -> 09:57 PM) It's awful, but using the term increases the chances of getting laid. There's really no choice I still don't understand it Edit: Google "bae meaning" Ok, so now I get it. The terms redeemed itself... and no, I didn't add the bolder part. Bae is the s***.

What the f*** is up with this millennial new age term: "bae"?
