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.

Personally, I think the fire McCann shows is refreshing. Something we've needed since the departure of AJ.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 02:40 PM) •"Depending on what is considered major," Abreu's signing will probably be the only major White Sox free agent move of the offseason, MLB.com's Scott Merkin writes. The Sox could still make further moves via trades, as Alexei Ramirez and Gordon Beckham have drawn some interest from other teams. Per MLB Rumors This better not be all free agent wise for Hahn and bringing PK back does nothing for me. It's all posturing. Just like Hanh said the DAY OF the Abreu signing that nothing will be happening for a while. It's that time of year to read between the lines and rely on critical thinking. 2 + 2 = 5

Regarding Salty, less strike outs please.

I personally think Dunn will have his best year in a white sox uniform next year. Contract year and he's got a ton of work to do in repairing his rep. Stranger things have happened. In my ideal lineup, he's hitting no higher than 6th.

Next years draft will be interesting for sure. Turner, Gatewood, Hoffman, and Kolek would be picks that made me happy. I don't know the four well enough but my order of preference is probably... Hoffman Turner Kolek Gatewood Thinking we end up with Turner and I'd be happy with that.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Oct 19, 2013 -> 12:25 PM) Right out of the draft??? That doesn't happen. I was going to say rarely... Like, super freaking rarely. Only pick I can think of really is Sale.

I think he's a big sleeper for the Sox who could allow us for ability in trades from our position of strength. Would like to see a one year deal with a team option. What'da ya think, SoxTalk?

QUOTE (ChiSoxFan05 @ Oct 18, 2013 -> 04:20 PM) Why is everyone assuming we are definitely going to sign another big name? This may be our only signing. Probably for a few reasons... The major two being a multitude of free cash and gaping holes. Gaping holes... Gaping... Holes....
