2018 Hall of Fame ballots out today.
QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 21, 2017 -> 08:58 AM) https://twitter.com/jposnanski/status/932973909665894400 Morgan is such an egotistical prick The timing of this seems about five years too late. I’m kind of in the middle on this- I forgive the players that started their careers from the mid 80s to late 90s for using stuff that wasn’t tested for and ignored by owners, media, and fans. Post Mitchell Report and urine/blood testing, there should be zero tolerance. Any tangible proof of intent to cheat, you should be out of baseball, no different than the rules against betting. And if there isn’t tangible proof of intent, one year suspended, voiding contract; second offense- gone.

2018 Hall of Fame ballots out today.
QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Nov 20, 2017 -> 05:45 PM) I'd go Trevor Hoffman Billy Wagner Chipper Jones Andruw Jones Vladimir Guerrero Barry Bonds Larry Walker Fred McGriff Edgar Martinez Jeff Kent Wow, quite a difference. Six guys I think come up short. Honestly, I think one day they’ll go “Big Hall”, which is fine by me.

White Sox add Gillaspie, Eloy, Basabe, Clarkin and Micker
I’ve seen them do stuff after the initial announcement and end up adding another player. Things can still happen before 7. Also could have a couple non tenders in a couple weeks.

2017-2018 MLB player movement rumors and reports
Beltran has a few things going for him- switch hitter, era he played (his average 162 games from age 22 to 36 was really good), and postseason success. I’m not saying he’s a no-brainer, but he’s over the line for me.

Lopez/Giolito could throw 200 IP next season
15 pitchers threw 200+ innings this year. 30 starts/180 innings would be great.

Trade avi in the offseason?
QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Nov 6, 2017 -> 12:52 PM) Remember when Gordon Beckham was "Jeter but better"? I think it was more like Ryne Sandberg.

Sox make roster moves
QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 06:06 PM) Do we have to put him on the 40 since we claimed him off waivers? Yes, unless they try to move him through waivers too, and risk losing him also.
-
Big week for Eloy
QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 01:53 AM) I'm pretty certain that was Wednesday's game, and and he was removed after that play. He did not play Thursday according to mlbfarm.com His team didn’t play Thursday, and he’s not in the lineup tonight.
