QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:29 PM) Thankfully no, because this team could still use a lot of improvements. Obviously I just am dying for some baseball! Time warp, please.

Is it march yet?

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) So with today's news, the picture becomes a little clearer Still think a lot will change before March.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 02:15 PM) Eaton will be a better major league player than he was a minor league prospect. Wow. Talk about an endorsement!

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 01:57 PM) And for those of you saying that he's immediately part of the Sale/Garcia/Quintana/Me core... Oh, but I disagree Mr. Abreu. I disagree. Your English is fantastic, by the way!

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:29 PM) It'd be impossible to argue otherwise. Here's a try... We traded Hector Santiago - a pitcher who's advanced stats project him to be a end of the rotation starter with a career 4.5 ERA... an extreme fly ball pitcher in our power hitter friendly park... for a cost controlled second year former top 100 prospect who is primed to break out. I don't see that as selling low but then again, I was never high on Hector to begin with.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:21 PM) Infield. I am not sure we deal another SP at this point, so free agent possibly? Bye bye Alexi or Beckham.... Things that make ya go, "Hummmmmm."

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 12:16 PM) Nathaniel Stoltz ‏@stoltz_baseball 59m he projects as a 4OF at this point Eaton will smite thee, Nathaniel.

I'm interested to see what shoe drops next.

#73 - Eaton #74 - Garcia We be rakin in the 70s. Without a doubt, not KW's MO. Hanh's character starting to show.

QUOTE (Jake @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 08:59 AM) I'm a big fan of Eaton. Don't know much about him but looking at his numbers - he doesn't look that exciting. Can you enlighten me por favor?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 10, 2013 -> 06:24 AM) Why? If the scouting department likes him over Carlos Perez or any other Rule 5 eligible catcher, then bring him in. There's next to no risk involved. Best case scenario is that you get a starter and perhaps a very good starter out of the process. Worst case scenario is that you return them back and you're out $25K, which is chump change for a major league team. Because he's been in the minors for 5 years and has only hit moderately well one year. Yes he was signed out of High School but with the 3rd pick in the Rule 5 draft - I suspect there is a better option out there who could build more value in our system.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 10:08 PM) Ha, you are definitely the poop guy around here. I'll be dealing with a lot of it, soon

Pass.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 09:34 PM) Congrats hi8is. It is strange that fathers say 'dope' now. On Internet boards - they say "poop" a lot too Thanks Rabbit

I'm starting to get antsy for March. My baby boy will be watching his first sox game on the 31st... At the age of three weeks old. Dope.

QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 9, 2013 -> 11:32 AM) suddenly it's moving really fast toward trading Sale. um... says who?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 10:53 PM) Thompson and Snodgress have very little trade value. Santiago looks decent, but is just a #4-5 starter right now. Beck is interesting, but he is also not that close to the majors yet, and Jones is a solid bullpen arm, but we can replace him immediately with Webb. I think that's a fair offer, assuming an extension is coming w/ Headley. Alrighty then - you sold me Headley ( plus an extension ) and Grandal. Bring it on!

The timing of this release is suspicious. Couple that news with our reported interest in Headley... and I see Hanh making a leverage play.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 8, 2013 -> 09:01 PM) Headley and Grandal for Santiago, Beck, Jones, Thompson and Snodgrass. Kill 2 birds with one stone right there. Overpay IMO

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Dec 4, 2013 -> 03:37 PM) After JDA, I'm not ruling the Sox out if Hahn wants him. Sale - Tanaka - Quintana - Johnson - Danks/Santiago looks damn good on paper. I've wanted Tanaka since seeing he would be posting, just figured it wouldn't be possible. If these new regulations come to pass thou - the realm of possibility becomes in sight. Hummmmm...

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Dec 3, 2013 -> 09:57 PM) I would keep an eye out for Kemp or Ethier. I got a feeling one is on Rick's radar. I've had the same feeling for quite some time, Kid.

yawn.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Dec 2, 2013 -> 07:49 PM) Who cares, its 950K. He's worth bringing into camp at that price. Its not inconceivable that he could be a useful part time player next year. Hell, the Sox shoulda gave me that 950k
