Still thinks Danks goes home to Texas. Gotta wait it out and get the most.

Writers seem to think opposite from HugeUnit, saying that huge haul is what's gonna take to get pitching this season and all of a sudden Kenny high asking price doesn't seem so high.

“@NewbergReport: Big winners in Latos deal: Billy Beane, Kenny Williams, Theo Epstein, Alex Anthopoulus.” Indeed. Huge haul - Nightngale

Wow Padres get: Volqez, Alonso, Grandal, Boxberger.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) The episode has aired, so I don't think you need to do spoilers. Well it'd be hard for him to spoil anything before the episode airing.. why can't you just stick to the spoiler rule?

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 16, 2011 -> 06:19 AM) 175 posts for a Cowley column. The front office should pay the Sun Times to keep him employed. Because our chatter sure does benefit the Sox or ST so much.. :rolleyes

Read somewhere today that Blue Jays were the winners in the Yu Darvish sweepsteaks. FWIW

On a different note, White Sox team as constructed projects for 77 wins. Is JJ Stankevitz new CSN Sox beat writer?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) I don't think we can post copyright information....can we? You can send him (or me) the link via PM, but I'm sure you can summarize the article or straight tell us what trades did author suggest, lets not get all paranoid now.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 09:48 PM) Will you be in trouble if you post any brief synopses? I don't know what the policy is on Insider material No, he's just being funny or trying at least..

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 12:55 PM) If they were going to "Try to win in 2012", Sergio Santos was the last guy they should have considered trading. Doesn't that move fit into "Try to win in 2012" but retool for future? If Reed can do equal job as Santos, we just got Molina for freezey.

Am I the only one who doesn't like these projections, I mean they are guesses, but I can probably guess better than that. I'd hope Viciedo hits more HR than Lillibridge for one..

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Dec 15, 2011 -> 11:42 AM) Reporters get the full story, or at least they TRY to. Not one part of it. Cowley looks for those who fit the narrative he wants to push. he couldnt get at least one or two pitchers who LIKE Coop? He has mentioned few times that Floyd likes Coop, but in a way where he almost called him out/made fun of him for it.

I understand Joe isn't a popular figure around here, hell I'm not his biggest fan either but this piece provides some information how big of a mess the White Sox organization is right now. Link.

Source: Braun tested positive for a prohibited substance, not a performance-enhancing drug. More coming on FOXSports.com -- Ken Rosenthal So gonna go with GUY at the GNC told me excuse?

They are saying they found increased levels of testosterone which is believed to be synthetic. Not sure if drinking a protein shake can cause that. On the other hand, Braun found out in late October and has taken a drug test right after which came back clean?

Some words from the chairman himself.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) Holy f***ing hell in the name of almighty allah most gracious/most merciful - Aaron Rowand f***ing sucks! Do you people not follow baseball outside of the Sox? Teams? Players? Aaron Rowand reminds me of that smell that comes from dirty belly-button. You do not give roster spots to terrible baseball players because, well, there is no f***ing reason. Stop it, people. He will fit right in.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 06:09 PM) Who said that they couldn't keep Pena? Fielder is the person all along I though the Cubs would get. Not sure if this was posted but a source being Pricne's friend said he is very interested in the Cubs as well.

So far pretty underwhelming meetings for the Sox. Kenny is leaving tomorrow. Not the greatest time to be a Sox fan, seems like this team, this board, and this fan base are in disarray.

Just caught up with the topic, starting a new job on Monday, it is in the aviation field with a company out of Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling. Pretty excited.

QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 1, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) Heath Bell to Marlins Already an offer for Reyes.. are they for real. God I'd hate it if Ozzie were succesfull there right off the bat.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Dec 1, 2011 -> 10:10 PM) I really don't want to watch Rios bat next year, but what are you gonna do? Hey there's this Miami team currently adding some weapons. Just signed Heath Bell, bigger, better piece coming next week. Don't ask me how I know.

Cowley: Kenny shopping Danks.

Warrior anyone? Already hearing: Best fighting movie ever, etc.
