QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Nov 11, 2013 -> 09:42 PM) Well, I did get this email this morning... spring training schedule Nice! Spring training starts two days before my wife's due date

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 11, 2013 -> 04:03 PM) If I wanted leverage, I'd sure say that I had no more money to spend and that I'm happy with all of my players Ding ding ding - we have a winner! This posture helps with trade and free agent leverage.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 09:07 PM) On an unrelated note, the skin of my left testical stuck to my thigh today.

QUOTE (Jake @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 06:37 PM) For those wondering... Rosario: Home - 96 wRC+ (.817 OPS) 19% K Away - 113 wRC+ (.785 OPS) 27% K Wonder if that K difference is common for Colorado players. In 2012, he walked 7.7% of the time at home versus 3.9% away as well. This year it was 3.3 versus 3.0, respectively. Not sure why he quit walking or why that is different based on ballpark either. He's never had a high walk rate... No matter where he's raking at.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Nov 10, 2013 -> 04:26 PM) Wilin Rosario is a popular name these days... Yes please!

Man... Nothing's going on this time of year... So, we get threads about all kinds of... Poop.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 10:53 AM) And he needs to play there first and hit some of those home runs. Once that happens, then we have a promo spot. I like the idea of a batting practice spot... A preview of what's to come. Can't hurt in continuing to build buzz... Even if it's only released online. Thing would go viral stat.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 10:41 AM) IMO, I'm sure they will use him some...but it's going to be hard to sell a guy who we have never seen on the field. Esp. one who doesn't speak much English yet. Mashing home runs out of the cell is the only language he needs to speak in a promo spot

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 3, 2013 -> 07:55 AM) I think the Sox should do some TV ads right away about Abreu . Show footage of his WBC highlights while showing his stat lines from the WBC and Cuban League. Ask him to do some batting practice at the Cell before it gets too cold and film it and the last part of the commercials showing him at the Cell in full uniform interspersed with clips of the scoreboard exploding and thousands of fans cheering . End it with a catch phrase like white letters on a black background saying " THE FUTURE IS NOW ." This commercial ending only is good if we can add some more quality pieces. Fans need to move on from the Konerko era. Get some quotes from Konerko and The Big Hurt endorsing Abreu as part of the commercial too That really is a great idea. Forwarded to brooks.

Franklyn Guteriez on the cheap, anyone?

Welcome back Cubano! YES!!!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Oct 28, 2013 -> 08:37 PM) I think the Cards are going to win game 6 with Wacha going. The Sox would be smart to go with Lackey in game 7 and not game 6. I'm with ya that the cardinals will win game 6... Red Sox in 7 thou... It'll be a freaking pitching orgy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2013 -> 07:00 AM) Very interesting to say the least. Santiago is from New York and I'm assuming Granderson has his charity in New York - so, to me - it's not that interesting really

Anyone know if mlb.tv will show the games a day after they're aired on FOX?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 11:47 AM) Could be Quintana to Toronto for 3B Lawrie and RHP Aaron Sanchez. Are you bleeping me? Exactly the deal I wanted and then some with Sanchez. I'll be pining for this all offseason!

QUOTE (balfanman @ Oct 23, 2013 -> 04:41 AM) I agree with this post. I agree with poop

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 08:35 PM) At least we have the Bulls/Bears/Hawks, however, there's just this special feeling you get when you watch the White Sox that you don't get when you watch one of the previously listed teams. Yep. The White Sox are on par with... My pacifier when I was a baby and now, my wife's vagina. That's about it. Transparent honesty hour is over. Thank god, you're saved of more madness... For now.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 07:16 PM) Yeah, it does, a Sunday @ home vs Twins. Sale vs their electric ace Kevin Correia. Monday, not Sunday. My bad. Thank god. Only four baseball-less months... Technically.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 21, 2013 -> 06:03 PM) I'm saying 60/40 that Alejandro starts at CF on 3/31 Baseball starts again in March next year? Thank god. I'm such a white sox crack head.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 06:02 PM) Wonderfully said. Johnson makes a ton of sense. Certainly a risk, but as you said, the exact type of risk a team in the SOX position should pursue - that is if competing next year is a priority to the FO. There are many here who would say it isn't, and shouldn't be. Not that I necessarily disagree, but I'd always prefer to watch a winner. Hell, even if they're not competing by the deadline and someone like Johnson has built value on a one year deal... Hello rebuilding/retooling/reshuffling/restocking/reupping trade at the deadline. How's that for retooling vs rebuilding?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Oct 20, 2013 -> 10:28 AM) I think Kung Fu Panda is a possibility. Don't mind the player at all. However, it's a bummer that he only has one year left until he's a free agent. In my mind, any trade target will include multiple years of control.

I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Volquez if possible. Really see a SP dealt this offseason with a couple of Cooper project vets being brought in on a mission to revive or stabilize their careers.

Start the season in the 6 or 7 spot. If he starts to show a turn around, move him up.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 06:10 PM) I can't wait to see JOSE ABREU hit this year. This thread is no longer about him lol Yea, we bounced all over Not much more to say about Abreu unless Cubano somehow resurfaces.

With the amount of good arms in this crop, I'd be shocked if turner is take second. Hell, it's possible he falls past the top 5 picks. Picking at number 3 - we're extremely likely to get turner if that's who Hanh really wants.
