QUOTE (Al Lopez's Ghost @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 08:51 PM) He turned down 5 Million from the Angels. Who here sees the Sox topping that? Not me. Trade. It's gonna be via trade.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 04:04 PM) Our lineup is quite a bit better offensively on paper than it was last year, but lets be honest, the Sox have been dogs*** for many years, its not an attractive place to play right now. Welcome back, old timer.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 11:02 AM) If people would quit posting about them, it would go away. Not true.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 10:37 AM) If they couldn't afford Fowler or anyone over $10M AAV, I can't see them landing him. Dodgers will send some money.

QUOTE (SoCalSox @ Feb 25, 2016 -> 10:32 AM) I guess I mean an impact move, not a Victorino type move. I fully expect some s*** move to say they did something but more speaking about a real positive WAR starter. They're going to get Ethier before March 23rd.

ALE: BOS ALC: CWS ( biased ) ALW: HOU Wild Cards: TOR, CLE Edited based on Baltimore activity that went south.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Feb 24, 2016 -> 02:34 PM) Theyd get fined. How do you figure that?

I'm still waiting for the day where a player says, "My play will do the talking this year. No more questions, I'm done talking until October."

Things that make ya go hummmmm Edit: does this new swing change his eyes so he doesn't swing at everything known to man?

QUOTE (kevo880 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:13 PM) Not that I see it happening, but with how much hate Avi has taken this offseason it would be hysterical to see him breakout with the bat early this season. Your avatar just made me puke.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 03:29 PM) Rollins had a .2 WAR last year. Saladino had a .2 WAR last year. But suddenly the SS hole is filled. But by all means, let's go with the 37 year old, instead of the 2nd year player. He's "proven". Saladino projects out at .2 this year and Rollins .9 Rollins also has not had a season below 1.5 before last year, had most of his negative value on offense in 2015 and returned closer to his career norms in the second half. I think Saladino in super utility role and Rollins as your primary SS makes the team a little better.

Lots of talk here about holes. Therefore, I like it. Edit: on a serious note - I'm surprised the Braves aren't listed higher. Their Miller trade was highway robbery and to me lands them as one of the three top winners this offseason no matter what.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 12:21 PM) Yes. I need to find it. May have been Kane or Santos Cool mate - thanks!

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 11:43 AM) One of the beat writers tweeted that Hahn emphasized that he may have " one more move left in him" prior to opening day. That was said today?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 10:12 AM) CF Adam Eaton LF Melky Cabrera 1B Jose Abreu 3B Todd Frazier DH Adam LaRoche 2B Brett Lawrie SS Jimmy Rollins RF Avisail Garcia C Dioner Navarro/Alex Avila At least Avi in the 8 hole would take some pressure off him in the batters box.

I think Desmond is the 2016 version of Morales in 2014. Won't sign until June or whatever due to the draft pick compensation and slim SS market.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Feb 22, 2016 -> 09:37 AM) http://www.fangraphs.com/statss.aspx?playe...amp;position=SS Rollins last year and his projections for this year. It's actually somewhat amazing how similar the offensive steamer projections are for Rollins vs Saladino

Is it 2006 or 2016?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Feb 21, 2016 -> 10:23 AM) I am sure it is true. Whether it is a huge issue, who knows. Paging ptatc.... Paging ptatc

Anyone else find his politician-like way of addressing the question about his health HIGHLY suspect?

QUOTE (Jose Paniagua @ Feb 19, 2016 -> 03:24 PM) The revelation that we're in the market for an OF today..is...a real stunner My wild guess: we get Either on March 23rd.

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/broad...pring_mlbtv.jsp I would get all crackhead on ya and just post all the Sox games here but I'm driving.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 15, 2016 -> 09:51 AM) Nobody cares. You're not being attacked. It's not cold outside.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 06:07 AM) Holy cow! Thanks for the in-depth response, seriously, that's good insight right there and I appreciate it. ptact is the man. He's got a legitimate medical background and worked professionally in the sports PT world if memory serves correct. Helped me out here when I had a boxers fracture. Big shout out to him - great guy to have on this board. Another example of Soxtalk winning.

QUOTE (LDF @ Feb 13, 2016 -> 12:28 PM) this site has many great old time posters, some poster name feather (i think she was an IIU student), nukem, Steff, yansy.... i wonder i Steff is still around. I'll never forget Heather and her infatuation with Ben Davis. Those were good times.
