I am so flipping glad to see Lawrie wearing number 15. His fire and dirtbag style of play is such a refreshing sight after seeing a pretty boy soft serve variety named Gordon Beckham. Even if Lawrie sucks - at least he'll be passionately pissed off while doing so. That said, I've got tall expectations for him at the dish this year and think he'll be a great pickup.

QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 03:01 PM) chisox and reds havent had any recent talks regarding jay bruce. with a-jax in fold, CWS not seeking starting OF https://twitter.com/JonHeyman/status/707701964369334277 Well, Duh... right? That mlb.com article earlier today suggesting the Sox still get Bruce made zero sense.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) There are a lot of pitchers on that list that would net you something in return, if you wanted to go that route. Who on that list, without Turner... Is good for long relief? Jennings?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 12:36 PM) At best he's Gavin Floyd At worst he's Gavin Floyd Ha. Nice.

QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 12:34 PM) Have a feeling he makes the team as a long reliever. Yup. Him having promise and no options to me means he makes the team.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 12:33 PM) Turner getting bashed around. 3-0 A's. Not pretty. It's really odd - he looks like a completely different pitcher than his last outing.

Jacob Turner being number 44 - my desire for him to have a shot ends now that I see that.

QUOTE (SmashROT @ Mar 9, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) This thread is pointless I highly disagree and take offense to this statement, SmashROT. This. Thread. Is. The. Truth.

Strange article just hit MLB.com - suggesting three spring training trades that could still be consummated. One of which, is Bruce to the White Sox for Danish or Beck. Their rational makes little to zero sense to me. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/165972362/ja...rs-may-be-dealt

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 06:39 PM) Where you guys at spring training last year? Did you speak to anyone there? Last time I went was 2005. Told Pablo Ozuna and Ozzie that big things were going to happen. Ozzie said, "if they stop being jack ass and play buazeball - den you right, maybe." Something like that.

That countdown clock is funny.

QUOTE (flavum @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 12:51 PM) AVI PULLED A HOMER! He's pissed. Good.

Safe to say that Anderson kid gets cut. Edit: strange - he had somewhat decent stats last year in a lot of innings.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Mar 8, 2016 -> 05:30 AM) Amen! Eaton has the outlook on the Jackson signing and I agree with him 100%.. Well said, Eaton. You sure he isn't acting out in a racist attack against him?

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:34 PM) Pitching was bad which is what held us back and what I'm complaining about. Winning 90 games was definitely impressive. Javier Vazquez really made me mad that year - and every year he was on the Sox.

Yea, hard to complain about a 90 win year.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 05:02 PM) Yep. Stupid pitching (that year). Didn't we win like 94 that year?

LaRoche is going to pull a 2012 Dunn.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:39 AM) Just imagine if Hahn somehow shook Josh Reddick loose from the A's. You'd have Eaton - Jackson - Reddick. That would be phenomenal. Melky to DH.. LaRoche and Avi to? A's would probably want Anderson or Fulmer, plus... Yea.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 09:30 AM) Dan Hayes ‏@CSNHayes 52m52 minutes ago For now, Austin Jackson is wearing No. 10. #WhiteSox Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 52m52 minutes ago Austin Jackson, given locker in next to his former Tigers teammate Alex Avila, on the field now with White Sox. You know hommie was just sitting around in AZ waiting for Boras to call him up. I envy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:10 AM) Are you basing this on Turner and Danks' 2 first week of spring training innings? That would be retarded. I'm basis that off the last 3 years of Danks combined with Tuners pedigree and a belief that a healthy young turner is going to be more productive and add more balance to the rotation.

QUOTE (Cessna98 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:53 AM) First time poster. 40 year Sox fan. I like the way Hahn slow played the market. I believe that Jackson was his target all off season due to his lack of draft pick attachment. The whole idea then was to get him at the cost that the Sox were comfortable with. Hahn presented Boras and Jackson with a plan that would allow for Jackson to resurrect his career and go into the next offseason with a chance to get the big money and years. They gave Hahn a number that he was comfortable spending. This signing gets me excited. I believe they have a chance to compete very well in a very tight division. So much so that I will be picking up a 14 game plan for this year. I was just as excited last year though and signed up for a 7 game plan. They lost each game. My wife was upset that we spent that money on that team and refused to let me get another plan for this year unless they got a 3rd baseman and another outfielder. Done and done I told her last night! See ya all at the ball park! Your wife is awesome. "I'm upset you spent money on baseball. Now don't do it again unless ( insert logical condition here. )" Wow. That'd be like me telling my girl, "I'm upset you spent money on another set of shoes. Don't do it again unless your feet grow." Ok, maybe that's a stretch but you get my drift. Fly on brother Cessna - fly on.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Mar 7, 2016 -> 08:51 AM) Composite projections from RotoChamp: Eaton: 10 Abreu: 31 Melky: 13 Frazier: 28 Lawrie/Sanchez: 21 LaRoche/Avi: 26 Navarro/Avila: 14 Jackson: 6 Rollins/Saladino: 12 Total: 161 IMO - Frazier is low at 28 and the bench will account for at least 5 to 10 more.
