Just give me 3 years - I'll buy and will vow to keep the Sox where they belong.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 26, 2014 -> 10:28 AM) Seriously. Is there a way for us to have a password protected thread made, and Rock can just give out the passwords? That way guests can't see the info, but us longtime members can be a part of the circle? I can make him a website like that in about 30 minutes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 11:02 PM) I got to a few tonight. I'll hit some more tomorrow. Please be patient. Tomorrow and yesterday are good for pooping all over. In other words, now is the only moment. Now!!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) Everyone. I wanted to throw this out that I will get to your PM's when I can. I have over 30 unread right now so dont send repeats. I'll get to em. Didn't send you any info requests via PM but please do hit me with nuggets like a McDonalds 20 pack special for $4.99 as if I'm a 500 pound fat woman fast food hound!

Rodon impresses Sox Minor League field coordinator

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 11:05 PM) Obviously the team needs to inject more talent both at the MLB and MilB levels, but getting Rodon was a huge coup and enough of Hahn's moves are paying off to where the team is now baseline mediocre instead of awful, with quite a bit of payroll flexibility in the years to come. Tasty times, coming soon.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 02:53 PM) Clint Longenecker ‏@Clint_BA 5m Early indications are that 10 teams went over bonus pool and will pay the overage tax. White Sox, Cubs and Pirates spent most over pool 5 highest spending teams in 2014 draft: No. 1 Marlins, No. 2 White Sox and No. 3 Blue Jays, No. 4 Cubs and No. 5 Royals. That's a far cry from previous years

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 03:01 PM) I think you're missing something. If you're talking about Aiken having an "agent" as opposed to a "family advisor," than that may be problematic for the player in terms of his college eligibility, but I am not certain how closely that is enforced, to be perfectly honest. Ah. Good lord Houston, asshole of the day award goes to you.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 02:36 PM) Can you think of another team probably in the mix for a top five pick that this hurts? I seriously think that the Astros will lose their first pick due to their actions. Hell, you can't talk with the agent and their GM plainly stated "I tried calling his agent three times today." Or am I just completely missing something? Idiots!

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 18, 2014 -> 02:26 PM) Evan Drellich ‏@EvanDrellich 53s “We tried to engage Casey Close three times today … there was no interest” — GM Jeff Luhnow tells the Chronicle Reply 3 Retweet Favorite Um. Idiot. Here come the fines.

So silly, Houston. You didn't sign any of the three. Automatically the worst draft of the year.

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 (southsider2k5 @ Jul 12, 2014 -> 08:34 PM) Soxtalk hates winners. True Dat. TPSM v2.0.

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.
