Hahn is to tomatoes as KW is to meatballs. They're both ingredients of a winning dish. There, something complementary - it's not rocket science.

Fill in the blanks: Rich Hanh is to _____________ as Kenny Williams is to _________________. Your selections can be factual, comical, senseless, or down right out in left field. I'll go first with an obvious one: Rick Hanh is to patience as Kenny Williams is to rapid trading like a speed freak turned GM.

More here at full article General / breaking / rumor type of stuff here please. Thought having a consolidated place would be nice moving forward.

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Nov 7, 2014 -> 09:58 AM) If the are going to use Anderson to get a starting pitcher, I would hope that starting pitcher is better, younger and more cost effective than Samardjiza. +Infinity

I want nothing of his arrogance on our team. If he proves to be another AJ type case where only the opposition dislikes him due to his fire then so be it. The gamble is too great for me to endorse.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 4, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) This is too good. I'd actually be down to take a flyer on him - provided it was cheap.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 01:12 PM) the player I am really waiting for is Jose Fernandez and he would look great in a sox uni. any other signing are secondary to him. this is not to include int'l fa signing. Hopefully he's still alive - the Cuban defection process is curaaaaazy.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Nov 3, 2014 -> 03:57 PM) Just noticed that catch he made it the outfield.. then looked like he kicked the dude on purpose coming back in the field. Looks like a douche, but who am I to judge.. Ever think of it this way: He's in a game and makes a fantastic catch falling into the stands. His adrenaline pumping, the guy also knows there's a runner potentially out to dry or tagging up. He is 100% focused on getting up and putting the ball back into the infield. He accidentally pushes his feet off a fan in the process of getting caught up in a moment.

QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 2, 2014 -> 05:56 AM) don't put up with the agony. kill yourself. Very wise advise - metaphysicaly speaking, of course.

Damn. My offseason Soxtalk obesssion is already in full swing.

Michael Taylor went the route of free agency. Try not to cry - I'm trying my best as well but failing miserably... The world will never again be complete.

Yup - it's that time of year again... Where a single post on mlbtraderumors causes three seperate citations across three different Soxtalk threads. Oh... The agony.

If the chips fall as MLB Trade Rumors projects - the 2015 White Sox will feature Victor Martinez at DH, Colby Rasmus in LF, and Luke Gregerson as an anchor to the pen. The Cubs would be adding Lester, Masterson, Russell Martin, David Robertson, and Jake Peavy. Um... yea.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 30, 2014 -> 08:40 PM) here is another one. http://www.mymlbdraft.com/MLB-Mock-Draft If Bickford is available at 8 - we sure as hell better be taking him.

Interesting, though it would require trading Quintana and Danks and isn't likely... "Jake Peavy told reporters, including Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago-Sun Times, that he will be interested to see where his close friend Jon Lester signs this offseason. Peavy had no qualms in stating that he’d like to once again be teammates with his friend: “I’ve certainly talked to Jon Lester because we’re buddies,” said Peavy. “So I have a feel for what he does. And I certainly know that Chicago would interest him and interest me.” Peavy clarified that he’s not suggesting a package deal for the Cubs, but rather, “There’s a package deal out there for any team.” Wittenmyer spoke to a few people close to Peavy who believe the Cubs would be high on his offseason wishlist, however, having spent several years there with the White Sox."

Too bad Vicideo can't hit LHP... If he mashed them then a platoon at DH with Lind would have been groovy.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Oct 28, 2014 -> 12:00 AM) I hope it's discarded and not disgarded...it would be quite weird if he was guarding it so closely. Hysterical.

November 11th - I trade Rock two used toilet paper sheets for his disgarded pubic hair.

QUOTE (LDF @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 11:24 AM) Agreed. jeeze I can't I am in agreement. Funny this was posted on MLB Trade Rumors today...

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Oct 26, 2014 -> 11:14 AM) Rotoworld says Mark has been made available and the Jays will have to eat some of his $19 million salary. Why not let them take John Danks off our hands for Mark, straight up, for one last season for Mark, much like Paulie's last year. These last year type years will help bridge the gap until Rick and the boys can. Thoughts? Any prospects match up? It's pretty obvious and will likey be posted here 15 times... We've already got 3 LHSP, after Rodon... Four. Hence, Mark really can't have a place with us. Your solution seems to be swapping Danks for him but why on Gods green earth would Authopthos do that?

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Oct 23, 2014 -> 11:01 PM) "It would still be nice?" This is why I can't even bother to post anymore. Katchup panties, is that you?!?!?

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 20, 2014 -> 04:43 PM) But 20 quality starts guys!!! That's only 1 less than Sale and Q! (Not sure if serious) Hummm... Well then, he was better than I thought and stand corrected. Maybe the game plan is to get him out there building value and trade him at the deadline to make way for Rodon. That keeps the rotation at three lefties and two right handers as well. Just food for thought.

Here's the rationality behind Danks, for me at least. 1.) We've already got three lefty starting pitchers penciled in for the future in Sale, Q, and Rodon. Having a fourth lefty rather than two RHSP's isn't ideal in my mind. 2.) I've pretty much given up on Danks after holding out hope for his return to form last season. 3.) If we ate a good amount of his contract or traded him as a part of a package for another player with a bloated contract... we could indeed get him off our books.
