Now they have 83 pitchers on their active roster. Nice.

Oh... The agony.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 19, 2016 -> 09:09 AM) So I'm just catching up to this thread, but given the Upton signing (money & years), does anyone realistically think the Sox are going to offer 20+M for Cespedes and does anyone actually think the market doesn't indicate he'll get that? I'd say he'll without get the 20+M - not likely from us IMO. The signings for Davis and Upton coupled with with the reported interest of "10 teams" -- someone will go there and it sucks but very unlikely to be the Sox. Yes, there's a lot of smoke abound but in the end... The market is finally running its course... Leading to favor him cashing out bigger than we had hopes of at times. Ogga booga

While on a 12 day sabbatical - I've learned a great deal regarding hypocrisy among ambiguous ominous figures. Additionally, pink flamingo mating paterns have been analyzed. Finally, Cespedes looks to have continued sitting on his proverbial pot. Respectfully announcing to all fellow colleagues, creme brûlée cheesecake bake off begins in 18 seconds at my house. The end is near.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 12:24 PM) There was nothing new in that article. Just a writer putting together his opinion based on all the tweets/articles that came out yesterday. Or you could put it this way. Geez - no fun caption poopie pants. Well, that's my son... So, yea.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 12:13 PM) Sox are 'cooling' on Cespedes and Upton. All that article is... A summary of the past two weeks found in this thread. Just stripping out the credible sources and leaving behind: Poop Blah Dogs who are acting as a source Obscure song references Little 12 year old reports typing between pimple pop breaks Other vulgar displays of lunacy

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 10:09 AM) I'm interested if any of the data analytics junkies have done a case study on J.D. Martinez. He went from Avi like numbers to an all-star seemingly over night. I'd love to know if analysis shows any sub-surface leading indicators of his emergence, which could then be helpful in identifying future players poised to make a similar leap. Hommie changed his swing Royal - that's all I know.

The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older, Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jan 7, 2016 -> 09:24 AM) I don't want a guy who doesn't use his PIN instead of signing a receipt. Move on to somebody else. Rumor has it that his assistant actually signed for him as a result of forgetting said pin. Assistant rumored to be fired. Replacement may be sought. Source: a 1,257 pound tuna caught off the coast of Utah.

I just heard Cespedes signed. A debt card transaction receipt. Seriously, I like the Abreu factor here. Come on Sox. Get a new Cuban Connection ROCKING!!!!

I must be dead.

Again... Give me Cespedes or give me death!!!!

I've heard poop is available. Let's get all up in that s***.

Give me Cespedes or give me death!!!!!

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Jan 5, 2016 -> 10:15 AM) Scott Carroll did well last year. Maybe I was the only one watching (I don't blame anyone who tuned out) but he had a lot of good outings as the long man. I'm not convinced Erik Johnson sucks or anything, but Carroll has at least shown he can compete at the ML level whereas EJ has not. Didn't EJ have like a low 3 ERA last year? I think he threw well for the last couple months if memory serves correct. Edit: 6 starts, 4 quality 3.34 era

Movement is occurring as we speak. You're all my reading material. Thanks for the support.

Not Cespedes - not Gordon. Sorry but my OCD has been in over drive for weeks on this crap.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 07:53 PM) IIRC. Gordon is the Sox first choice with Cespedes as their second. Anyone know if I remember this correctly? Si

QUOTE (Saufley @ Jan 4, 2016 -> 03:58 PM) It sure would be nice to see LaRoche have a good spring training and follow that up throughout the year. What a plus that would be for our 2016 season. One can hope. If LaRoche isn't comeback player of the year - then his season was a failure.

Not Cespedes, not Gordon.

Not Cespedes, not Gordon... Not Cespedes, not Gordon. Not Gordon, not Cespedes.

Anger. Hostility towards the opposition. Anger. Hostility towards the opposition. Anger. Hostility towards the opposition. ANGER!!!!!!!

QUOTE (soxman26 @ Dec 31, 2015 -> 02:36 PM) sox are checking and trying with all their targets until told no. Yes.
