QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jul 13, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) Be patient. Gota play out the year, Avi is coming back soon, and let's see what they do from now until the trade deadline. See if we can get some more good young talent. And see some of our young guys brought up and get some consistent ABs. This offseason can be big too with so much money coming off the books. Lots of room in trade talks for picking up salary as well as free agency shake downs. I'm most interested in seeing how quick Rodon breaks into the rotation. If that guy throws like an ace at times in 2015 - paired with Sale - and Q behind him... We're looking at another big step forward with our spending room in the mix.

He signed. He's ours. Yay!! Everything else... Yawn.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 07:03 PM) Oh hey... https://twitter.com/WSDashBaseball/status/4...3361280/photo/1 Won't be seeing that for long.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 11, 2014 -> 03:22 PM) If you got down on Carlos Rodon because of his contract negotiations you need to get your f***ing head on straight. This could easily be his only chance to set himself up for the rest of his life. He's a tweak of the elbow to ruing the day he got 0.5-1 million dollars less in bonus just so the few people paying any attention would like him more word.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jul 9, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) Soooooo how about you never visit Vegas. Last time I played blackjack I lost $4,000 in a day. It made me happy to have a tax write off.

Surprise, surprise. Faster than expected. Touchdown!!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 7, 2014 -> 08:04 PM) Hi8tis where are you ? People are talking about poop .I'm voting Sale and Morneau because nice to see him doing well after concussion. Sorry, I was on the toilet.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 10:26 PM) Just keep winning.. 5.5 back from WC Seattle, Toronto, KC, New York, Cleveland are in front of us.. I am the antithesis of "don't stop believin"

QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) Caulfield you really should be a a Cubs fan. Their philosophy is perfect for you. It's the same failed argument from last season. TPSM = Carlos Rodon and many other nice picks I'd rather have TPSM v 2.0 than a .500 season.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) Rodon is really gonna make us wait until the last minute isn't he? If this was a betting option in Vegas - I would have put millions on it.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 12:35 PM) If any of those names came up in talks for Peavy and Hahn didn't make it....shakes head is all I can say. I presume those reports are eronious. Names might have been requested by the Sox, but I am going to guess St. Louis wasn't offering back. To nitpick - I'd rather have Avisil Garcia than Wong.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 11:15 AM) Or he could go join Donny Lucy selling avocados in SoCal: http://www.delreyavocado.com/salesstaff.html Great find - this is hysterical. Call him up if you wanna talk about guacamole. 760-728-8325

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 8, 2014 -> 07:19 AM) I will let you try and argue that case. Oh how benevolent you are Dear Great One. On another note, isn't it funny that a thread related to Beckham "news" has him mentioned... About twice in two pages? Pass the hot sauce please.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 6, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) Their 15-105 hitting performance which should have resulted in a series sweep? It's a shame. TPSM v2.0!

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 5, 2014 -> 05:17 PM) After a 2 day hiatus, time to refresh this one. Another Robin Ventura dog and pony show. You spelled it wrong. The word includes a number, damn it!

Oh! Hey!! It's this thread... Yawn.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 1, 2014 -> 03:55 PM) What the hell is taking so long? He'll sign on deadline day.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 28, 2014 -> 06:21 PM) Mitchell is hitting over .300 in AA Holy what the f***

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 26, 2014 -> 12:27 PM) Never in million, zillion years did I ever think you'd make this much sense, but you hit the nail on the head so perfectly and astutely with this that I'm not sure it's really even you anymore. Eat twat? Oh, s***... Wait... That's a complementary ambition.

You fire him when he has a team that is supposed to compete and doesn't based on his performance

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 24, 2014 -> 01:38 PM) Pretending to know who we would have picked or how they would have fared in our system is silly talk It's still fun to be afforded the clarity of retrospection in such a forum. Makes for creative thinking. Thou, in your case - disdane seems to have been the color of choice.

Your wishes have been deemed lame by the god of this thread. Literally anything is possible. "I wish we would hand drafted Randy Johnson." "I wish we would have traded a young Ken Griffey Jr. for an A ball catcher." Thus far , the Cabrera trade pieces takes the cake. Good on ya there.

We'd selected Trout over Mitchell in 2009 like myself and many others where hoping. Your turn. What would your FutureSox wish be if you could have one wish granted? There are no limits. Let the comedy ensue.

Looks like it's about time to start pining for more complete suckatude - save for a few trade candidates and core youngsters. 2015 and 2016 is when it can get real interesting. Edit: TPSM version 2.0?
