It'll be interesting to see if us folks in dodger country will get blacked out of the webcast. Their TV deal is retarded.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 02:37 PM) I'm sure they will give Avi every chance possible but I still believe they are looking for a LH OF bat. Well, according to Hahn anyway. Are you willing to bet the house on March 23? They can have my f***ing cardboard box for free.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 2, 2016 -> 02:02 PM) I'm starting to think we may not see an addition until towards the end of ST when teams such as Houston, Tampa and Oakland have a better idea of who they want to keep for their 25 man roster. March 23rd.

This totally warrants it.... Wait for it..... Poop.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Feb 28, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) We could have signed him to play short though. That position isn't set in stone. And I bet if he were still a free a couple weeks from now and Saladino and Rollins were both doing terrible, we'd consider him. Desmond or the 27th pick, Latos, and Rollins... Pretty even but I think I'd side with the route we ended up taking and still have faith that we'll be adding another OF bat vi trade.

Did Chad Croger make you pop a boner again or something?

QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) He turned down 5 Million from the Angels. Who here sees the Sox topping that? Not me. Trade. It's gonna be via trade.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Our lineup is quite a bit better offensively on paper than it was last year, but lets be honest, the Sox have been dogs*** for many years, its not an attractive place to play right now. Welcome back, old timer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) If people would quit posting about them, it would go away. Not true.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 10:37 AM) If they couldn't afford Fowler or anyone over $10M AAV, I can't see them landing him. Dodgers will send some money.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) I guess I mean an impact move, not a Victorino type move. I fully expect some s*** move to say they did something but more speaking about a real positive WAR starter. They're going to get Ethier before March 23rd.

ALE: BOS ALC: CWS ( biased ) ALW: HOU Wild Cards: TOR, CLE Edited based on Baltimore activity that went south.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Theyd get fined. How do you figure that?

I'm still waiting for the day where a player says, "My play will do the talking this year. No more questions, I'm done talking until October."

Things that make ya go hummmmm Edit: does this new swing change his eyes so he doesn't swing at everything known to man?

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Not that I see it happening, but with how much hate Avi has taken this offseason it would be hysterical to see him breakout with the bat early this season. Your avatar just made me puke.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Rollins had a .2 WAR last year. Saladino had a .2 WAR last year. But suddenly the SS hole is filled. But by all means, let's go with the 37 year old, instead of the 2nd year player. He's "proven". Saladino projects out at .2 this year and Rollins .9 Rollins also has not had a season below 1.5 before last year, had most of his negative value on offense in 2015 and returned closer to his career norms in the second half. I think Saladino in super utility role and Rollins as your primary SS makes the team a little better.

Lots of talk here about holes. Therefore, I like it. Edit: on a serious note - I'm surprised the Braves aren't listed higher. Their Miller trade was highway robbery and to me lands them as one of the three top winners this offseason no matter what.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) Yes. I need to find it. May have been Kane or Santos Cool mate - thanks!

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) One of the beat writers tweeted that Hahn emphasized that he may have " one more move left in him" prior to opening day. That was said today?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) CF Adam Eaton LF Melky Cabrera 1B Jose Abreu 3B Todd Frazier DH Adam LaRoche 2B Brett Lawrie SS Jimmy Rollins RF Avisail Garcia C Dioner Navarro/Alex Avila At least Avi in the 8 hole would take some pressure off him in the batters box.

I think Desmond is the 2016 version of Morales in 2014. Won't sign until June or whatever due to the draft pick compensation and slim SS market.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Rollins last year and his projections for this year. It's actually somewhat amazing how similar the offensive steamer projections are for Rollins vs Saladino

Is it 2006 or 2016?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) I am sure it is true. Whether it is a huge issue, who knows. Paging ptatc.... Paging ptatc
