Wite is bad enough as he is, we don't need any him any more "witer".

Puig is the coverboy for MLB 15, and it will release March 31st.

Daz Cameron would be a really fun pick to get, but I'd be happy with Fullmer and Happ too. So much will change though over the next 6 months that I really don't even try to get attached to a pick until around Memorial Day.

I'd rather have Joe Thatcher.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Dec 5, 2014 -> 12:51 AM) There's no way in hell I'm giving up Hawkins for 1 year of Cespedes. I would, because then you just trade Cespedes is July for a couple more advanced prospects than Hawkins. Hawkins for Cespedes is an exceedingly low offer, even given how overrated Cespedes is. Hawkins is so incredibly far away from the majors. His ceiling is high, but his floor is a bomb shelter.

How 'bout dem Cowboys? *runs*

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 06:16 PM) Shawn, Amy, and Alan will be on the episode tomorrow for a family dinner. I assume more will be in it next year more often. Hell yes.

Moss would be alright with me, but I'm not giving up Montas.

So co-op in FC4 is not what I thought it was. You can do all the side missions and liberate outposts, but you can't do any main missions. And there are no co-op specific missions. That's what I was looking forward too. Maybe they will put out a co-op DLC, but basically co-op is just for f***ing around. However, I just discovered The Arena, and that is really cool, but also really hard. Also, Shangri-La is really hard.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 01:40 AM) Eric will be appearing next season on Girl Meets World and Shawn, Feeny, and Eric will have bigger roles in the 2nd season. Well Shawn and Feeny didn't really have any roles in S1, especially Shawn since he wasn't even mentioned so far. I think Harley and Minkus are the only returning characters I've seen so far outside of Cory and Topanga obviously. I guess you could count the ghost of Feeny too.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, NO.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Dec 4, 2014 -> 02:58 PM) You should check out the tweets of some internet scrub named Dan_Lifshatz. Dude is convinced this is basically a done deal lol. Haha, what a coincidence, I had gotten in to a big twitter pissing match with him a few days ago because he was insisting the Sox have "no talent" outside of Sale and Abreu. I mentioned Quintana, and he laughed at me saying he was "a solid #3 guy", as if even if that was true, that would still be considered "no talent". Then when I pointed out that Q was a top 10 pitcher in baseball last year, he laughed at said "Bahahaha, I'm sure Adam Eaton will be a top 10 CF next year too!!!", which is funny because he easily could be. He should have said like Viciedo or something that would have been a stretch. Idiot meatball Boston fan then went on to say "Let's see if the White Sox can get to 74 wins", which was not only never part of my conversation with him, but his Red Sox had a pretty terrible 2014 as well. Basically his twitter feed is just an abortion. I can't believe anyone allows him to put his radio station's name on his twitter.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 3, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) Chris Cotillo @ChrisCotillo · 8m 8 minutes ago Sources: #Dodgers may be willing to make Zack Greinke available in trade talks with opt-out next year looming http://sbnation.com/e/7095054 Could come cheaper with potential of him opting out. But could you imagine Sale, Greinke, Quintana. Could you imagine what our farm system would look like after acquiring Greinke?

The payroll is already at about $80M now, right? So he expects out payroll to remain the same as it was last season? I would have thought Hahn would add to the payroll.

Dodgers acquired OF Chris Heisey yesterday from the Reds, because they wanted enough OFers to field a slow-pitch softball team I guess.

My buddy and I went out and got him a 65" Samsung 4K Curved TV. Boy is that thing beautiful. For some reason I was under the impression that those curved TVs curved towards the end, and not throughout the whole body, which is mainly why I thought they were so dumb. I still wouldn't pay extra for a curved display, but it really wasn't noticeable when watching the TV from straight on.

I'm sure Medlen would like a 1-year deal to regain his contractual value. Let's sign him for 1 year, then flip him midseason for prospects.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 02:10 PM) The money issue is a very fair criticism, I just dont like that Jay Bruce's one year that he missed a lot of games was last season, and it was because of his knee. He only missed 25 games. Only one time has CarGo missed less than 27 games. I don't think you can consider Bruce an injury concern, at least not anywhere close to CarGo, for a lot less money.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 01:52 PM) Hell no to Cargo, but hell yea to Bruce? I would much rather gamble on Cargos health then go with Bruces "meh" I wouldn't, when you figure in that Bruce could make $37.5M over the next 3 years (if his last option is picked up), while Cargo will cost you $53M over those same 3 years. Bruce has only played less than 148 games once since 2009. CarGo has never reached that mark.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 07:20 AM) Over Dayan Viciedo? Yes, absolutely. Who wouldn't? I hope Hahn's goals aren't acquiring a taller midget. No reason to aim so low so early in to the offseason.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Dec 1, 2014 -> 08:08 PM) So nothing to report on how our players did in the Dominican, PR, Austrailian and Venezuelan Winter Leagues ? Seems strange to start threads about it then have no hitting or pitching updates . Terrance Marin threw an 8-inning 1-hit shutout.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 02:29 AM) They traded Eaton to make room for Pollock to man CF for the future. They are not moving him. And then they acquired Cody Ross, and Yasmany Tomas, and then Inciarte and Peralta came up and played well. Eaton was also once a plan for their future too. Not saying that Pollock is available, but the Dbacks in the past (new GM, and LaRussa, so maybe this changes) have been quick to change directions on players. It's worth Hahn looking in to.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 30, 2014 -> 05:03 PM) I guess the phrase "recent NFL history" is a bit ambiguous. I more or less meant from the 2000's to now, aka, MY NFL memories. I'm not a big enough football fan to know much about it's history prior to my being born.

If we are trying to trade for OF'ers based on a good half season, then I'd like to see the Sox try and steal AJ Pollock away from the Dbacks like they did with Eaton. He had roughly the same amount of PA's last year as Saunders, but played good CF defense, had a 134 wRC+, and stole 14 bases. All culminating in a 3.3 WAR in only 75 games. With the addition of Tomas, they now have Tomas, Trumbo, Pollock, Inciarte, Cody Ross, and David Peralta. They have a very right-handed heavy line-up, so maybe they would prefer Inciarte in CF, who is not only a terrific CF, but is left handed. I don't think anyone thought they'd trade away Eaton a year ago, so maybe we can steal Pollock too. He'd be a very nice team-controlled upgrade in LF. **Also, he went to Notre Dame, so Farmer and myself will love that.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Dec 2, 2014 -> 12:11 AM) He just put up a half season of 126 wRC+, which is better than all our current outfielders. So did Chris Coghlan, do you want him too?
