Bo Jackson days until pitchers and catchers report!

What was said on hot stove?

Welcome Captain to the insanity known around these parts as hi8is, where all things are possible... Even vomiting stuffed carebears. In plain English, my previous post could be translated to state: Welcome to Sox talk. Glad you're here. This place can be fun. Your tendency to always sign your posts annoys me. I hope that trend dies off in time or you puts it in your signature instead. Yea, no possible way to translate that from the random stream that initially came about... But hey, you'll get it if you stick around for a decade. Until then, snails will be snails and salt will stay in the kitchen for brining poultry.

QUOTE (Willard Decker @ Feb 5, 2014 -> 07:51 PM) --Captain Decker Welcome to Soxtalk Good Sir. Your little signing call overcomes my eyeballs whenever scrolling through threads now. It makes me want to smash daisy petals and vomit carebears. On another note - Do Captains poop?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 10:23 AM) Thome's walk off homer vs Thornton I called that shot, turned the tv off, and read about it the next day. My dad and wife both where pretty shocked

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 1, 2014 -> 09:58 AM) Am I the only one who absolutely loves this signing more and more everyday? Nope, I'm stoked on the potential Paulino brings as well. When Hanh stated he has the potential to be a solid number three to top of the rotation guy, he wasn't overstating things.

I'm pretty pumped to see what Paulino can bring. What's the latest on his health?

This is going by painfully slow.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 29, 2014 -> 08:57 PM) Worth noting Dayan is only 24. If he was only just now getting called up, he'd be pretty age appropriate. Hopefully Steverson taps into his abilities. From top to bottom the entire system has come a long way in a short time. I'm happy and still believe that we'll see even more steps forward before March baseball begins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 27, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) They don't trade those guys unless they want to go. That is why Peavy wasn't moved until he basically asked in public to go. You've gotta be kidding me. Peavy was held onto until Hanh got the value he wanted. It didn't have anything to do with the player asking to be traded. Your assertion is way off base this time pal.

No more pitchers necessary at this point in the game. I'm with Hanh here. That number three pick can bring a great pitcher for 2016, maybe even 2015. Trades are still on the horizon - no doubt in my mind. We're not done yet. Edit: The last few weeks since the Davison trade actually remind me of the Peavy deal. Hanh had plenty of options but played a good game of chicken, holding out for his target type player. He's don't the same thing here when fielding calls on Kepp, DeAza, Dayan, Rameriz, Beckham, and Dunn.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Not sure if this was posted or not but this is an interesting Merkin tweet that RV said, Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 2h Under the radar comment from Ventura at end of SoxFest: How the roster looks today is not necessarily how it will look at the end of ST Not surprised at all... A lot can happen in 5 weeks, especially since a lot of the market was caught in a two week tanaka cog.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) It isn't 'the fans' it's a small collection of dumb meatheads who 1) don't understand baseball 2) failed to behave with the bare minimum of basic decency, forget about words like 'classy' or 'classless'. These are simply a small collection of sucky people, not 'the fans'. +1

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 26, 2014 -> 11:32 AM) I think the treatment of Dunn by the fans is frustration that he's still on the team and this is the way to get that message to management. Sox management must have thought there wasn't a problem otherwise he wouldn't be at the event. The point here is two fold in my eyes... One - it's sad that of all things to focus on and discuss, this came up and is getting attention. Two... One bad apple is not reflective of a culture. Anyone displaying this type of disrespect should get a refund, be shown the door, and put on a black list for Soxfest. Freedom of speech is a right as is freedom to impose restrictions within an organization.

QUOTE (Paulstar @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 04:36 PM) I don't know where you come off trying to put words in my mouth. Where's that ignore button at again? We may not be able to put words into people's mouth but I sure can silence some. Edit: Found it. Blasted.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jan 25, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Wait, let's do whatever is popular in the moment. Let's add Pujols, Greinke and Hamilton. Ooops, wait, let's develop our farm system. Oops, let's sign Tanaka and compete this season. Oops, let's sign Jimenez/Santana and trade Sale or Quintana so we can compete at some point in the future (or trade them), except our minor league system sucks still so we should give up our 2nd round pick even though our last six have all been pretty decent selections and won't cost the franchise $40-50 million, which will impede our ability to sign future Tanakas/Abreu's. Let's trade for BJ Upton while we're at it. Naw, let's just clone me 25 times and have the entire roster be made up of me's. I wouldn't mind taking home about 100M per season.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jan 24, 2014 -> 10:40 PM) Wouldn't be surprised if it's Yasmani Grandal after Hedges reaches the ML. Sox supposedly loved him when he came out. I do remember the 2010 draft when the reds took Grandal - a lot speculated that he was our target in that round before he was grabbed. Being that it "forced" us into Sale - we win!

Homer Bailey has to be a target next season if the reds don't extend him. On the starting catcher front I'm not seeing much next year as well... We're likely to get our catcher via trade IMO.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 06:14 PM) How 'bout it especially after he agent takes his ~10+% 4.5%

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jan 23, 2014 -> 04:50 PM) Keith Law was on Waddle and Silvy yesterday and was EXTREMELY complimentary of Rick Hahn and what the Sox have done since July's trade deadline. Surprises await still.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 14, 2014 -> 06:47 AM) Or he's going to rape face. That's always fun
